This book is sincere, genuine and firmly rooted in the spiritual context of a great teacher. It abounds with wisdom and methods for spiritual development and every page contains a subtle gem. As an introduction to Rumi's work this book cannot be bettered. It distils the essence of his wisdom. It looks good, it feels good and it does your heart good. This Spiritual Treasury is an undoubted treasure in itself. -- amazon.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful selections. Beautifully packaged., February 20, 2001

By A Customer

I think this is the nicest gift edition of Rumi poetry that I have seen. The selections are also very thoughtful and arranged under themes. I have given it as a gift to several friends and they loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational anthology, beautiful edition, March 15, 2005

By	Jennifer Mayne (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews

I was given this collection of Rumi's poetry as a gift, and immediately fell in love with it. I have since bought other books of Rumi's work, but this is still my favourite. The selections focus on the main themes in Rumi's writings, and the style of writing of the translation is simple and beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a personal guide to Sufi thought, and for private reflection. It's a lovely book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great selection, August 10, 2005

By	Sarah Shipman (Brighton) - See all my reviews

I love this book! I really felt I connected to Rumi's ideas and could understand Sufi thought after reading this. I picked up a friend's copy to browse, and found myself completely immersed in it for hours. A really great introduction to Rumi.
