One Mountain, Many Paths
In today's world, you don't have to look far to find violence, hatred, and deep spiritual rifts. From discouraging headlines of religious upheaval splashed across the front pages, to quiet tensions among people you encounter every day, divergences in the way humans lead their spiritual lives crop up in many different ways. Holding the firm belief that our likenesses vastly outnumber our differences, Dr. Patrick Swift compiled One Mountain, Many Paths in the wake of the September 11th attacks. One Mountain, Many Paths is filled with uplifting quotes from the sacred texts of all the great religious traditions. Serving as a collection of guideposts for the reader's spiritual journey, the book illuminates the common threads of faith, hope, and love that weave together these traditions—including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, indigenous proverbs, and many others.
