This book has story after story of the most incredible spiritual messages passed down by the centuries from Christian, Buddist, and Sufi monks; Jewish Rabbis; Native Americans; etc....

I have over 13 years of following a spiritual path and if I ever had to choose one book for "to the point" and direct spiritual nourishment, I'd choose this book.

A friend gave this book to me, and it was as much a part of her dear empathic self as the truth within its'pages. Full of touching stories and simple truths, this book will open your heart and challenge your limits in the depthless wonder of understanding that we are all on our own seperate paths, yet on the same path, here on the trail of life. This book should be in re-print NOW!!

A book of much more depth than the "Chicken Soup" books, though it has something of the same purpose.

this book is one of the most encouraging signs (conveyers?) of health and wisdom in our species. it seems to me ironic that it would go out of print, supplanted by what i remember to be a distinctly less deep and compelling compilation Soul Food: Stories to Nourish the Spirit and the Heart. not that the latter is bad, but the former is so much more outstanding - really a cut above.

maybe that's the key - like real learning and growth, you have to work to find it... oy. :-)

i recommend them both, but strongly prefer _Stories of the Spirit, Stories of the Heart_, and recommend finding a used copy - they've been available for a good while.
