By A Customer
This review is from: Light Upon Light: Inspirations from Rumi (Hardcover)
I was amazed how Rumi loved God. His example and perseverance is worth emulating in the now fast-faced world. This work is a must for every student of the truth. If a reader will read between the lines, he will realized the synthesis of things.
