In the aftermath of September 11th, 2001, Dr. Patrick Swift probed the spiritual realm, asking Is world peace still within our reach? His answer can be found in the passages contained in One Mountain, Many Paths. Each one illuminates the common threads of faith, hope, and love from the great religious traditions that weave the human family together in a tapestry of peace. In a time when parts of the world seem consumed in hatred and warfare, these excerpts provide hope to readers on their spiritual journeys, instilling a longing for peace on a personal and global level.
A spiritual companion or gift for family and friends, this book highlights the common threads of hope, love, and peace that have woven humanity together for thousands of years. It begins with the author's view of the World Trade Towers collapsing and caring for some of the wounded, followed by 100 uplifting quotes taken from all the great religious traditions of the world, organized into chapters such as "Love One Another" and "Love Your Enemy."
