Publisher's Synopsis
Toby has always lived under the watchful eye of the Guardian, a mysterious and unseen being who rules over the Island. The Islanders respect his rules, but Toby feels a pull toward the unknown.
Toby has always been told that there is nothing beyond the Island. The Guardian gives the Islanders everything they need to survive, and there is no need to seek anything more. But Toby responds to the urgings of his heart and goes off on an adventure that will open his eyes to the truth of the universe.
As he travels, Toby finds several mentors who have different perspectives on the world. In Toby's Journey, author David March incorporates ideas from many different belief systems to invite you to think deeply about the challenges Toby faces. March draws from both Eastern and Western philosophies to ask tough questions about the nature of society and our role in the universe.
In his work, March sets up two important questions: What is the purpose of our existence? Is complete knowledge ever achievable? Through Toby's quest, March explores the questions that define the human experience.
