The Holy Man's Journey: Book Two of the Holy Man Trilogy (Volume 2)
Trott uses the concentrated form of the parable to entrancing effect in her latest two unabashedly spiritual books,The Holy Man(1995) and this potent tale, a continuation of the story of Joe, her irresistible cosmic hero. A true guru, Joe is gentle, wise, and blessed with a rich sense of humor. A half-dozen of his followers have gathered for a summer retreat, but Joe has other plans. His teacher, a man some 20 years his junior, is ill, and Joe has decided to visit him. He asks Anna, a healer, to accompany him, not because of his own precarious health, but because, unbeknownst to her, she is destined to be his successor. Each phase of their dramatic "learning journey" becomes a lesson in compassion and right action not only for Anna but also for Trott's spellbound readers. This is a deft, stirring, and universally appealing story inlaid with genuine wisdom and a palatable love of life.Donna Seaman--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
