A Quest for the Future Among Wisdom-Makers of the Middle East
by Yvonne Seng ✦ Review by David Lorimer, August 2004
Yvonne Seng, a professor of peace and Middle Eastern Studies, takes a spiritual journey through Egypt, Syria and Turkey in search of the wisdom of Middle East spiritual masters. The book is written as a travel narrative leading to unexpected places and encounters to ask about 'the state of the human soul in an age of technology'. The leaders she encounters are fully engaged with contemporary issues but with a deep spiritual practice informing their views, which means that one comes back continually to the potential and pitfalls of human nature. It is a vivid and moving account.
