Publisher's Synopsis
"The story, not the technique" - In order to travel down The Long Flowing River, the author frankly assesses some inadequacies of science and religion, and goes a different way by exploring an ancient epic story. Here is a contemporary spiritual search that is paradoxically as old as the hills, about personal meaning and yet not about the author's own biography. As he says in the Preface, his search "had to be less subjective and much broader in scope.... not just a private matter as there were some major issues involved." The book questions why some of the best in religion and spirituality, including those based on the man Abraham (Ibrahim), has become so very lost or twisted. Is there still a "heart of gold" to be found among the many versions of his spirituality? That was the author's search, of which he tells as he travels down The Long Flowing River.
