Product Description

Product Description

Great teachings stories – that school us in virtue and ethics, compassion and humanity – have been passed down through the ages as a vital, personal way to share wisdom.

Jack Kornfield & Christina Feldman serve up a delicious banquet of wise tales from the world’s greatest spiritual guides, including Jesus, the Buddh, Ramakrishna, and the Taoist sages. They offer contemporary readers a feast rich with wisdom and filled with timeless moral and spiritual lessons.

Gathering lively and inspiring parables from both Eastern and Western traditions, from Christian, Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, Native American, African, and Zen teachings, Soul Food illustrates the eternal truths: the greatness of the human spirit, the endless wonder and possiblity of live, the necessity of courage, love and laughter, and our quest for wisdom and virtue. Each story offers a glimpse of revelation, an example of virtue, or a moment of truth that will sustain travellers as they traverse the road to a more spiritual life.

From the Back Cover

Jack Kornfield and Christina Feldman serve up a delicious banquet of wise tales from the world's greatest spiritual traditions in the pages of this delightful collection. A feast filled with timeless moral and spiritual lessons, these lively tales and inspiring parables from great faiths East and West offer glimpses of revelation, examples of virtue, and moments of truth that will sustain you on the path to a more spiritual life.

JACK KORNFIELD, the best-selling author of several books, including 'A Path with Heart' and 'Buddha's Little Instruction Book', is a founder of the Spirit Rock Meditation Centre.

CHRISTINA FELDMAN is the author of 'Women Awake' and, like Kornfield, is an internationally recognised Buddhist teacher who leads spiritual retreats around the world.

"Wonderful and inspiring stories".
Daniel Goleman, author of 'Emotional Intelligence'

"All of these stories are gems- there are Zen gems, Chassidic gems, Christian gems, Sufi gems, Native American gems- diamond wisdom from all traditions and all ages for us to take up with reverence and respect from time to time over the course of our lives and perhaps to share with others…Soul Food offers us a bountiful menu. Many lives will be immeasurably enriched by its fare".
-from the foreword by JON KABAT-ZINN, author of 'Wherever You Go, There You Are.'

Format:Paperback
I bought this book after spending some time doing meditations to help cope with the general stress of life and I find it helps to dip into the short stories quite often to help keep a healthy focus on living this life - with compassion, love and courage - it truly is an excellent book to nourish the spirt and the heart - I would recommend it to anyone, it should be shared with as many as possible.

This book was for me much more than a collection of delightful stories. There is much to think about too. A book to re-read and also to dip into.

Worth a second read - buy two. 9 Jan 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"Soul Food" is a joy to read. Recently I have read the wonder-filled and inspiring "The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" which reminded me of Kornfield and Feldman's and so I returned to it for a second time. Both these books should be brought down from the shelf when the sun goes down - extend daylight without putting your hydro bill up!. I had forgotten what pleasure I found in first reading Soul food.

I liked Stories fo the Spirit, Stories of the Heart better 8 Nov 1999
By Barbara Milnes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It's better than not having something available, but I liked Stories of the Spirit Stories of the Heart so much better. I wish it were not out of print. I have given at least 20 as gifts. Last Christmas I had to give Soul Food because I couldn't get "Stories".

good, but doesn't hold a candle to Stories of the Spririt, Stories of the Heart 30 Aug 2011
By K. L. Manheimer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
this compilation apparently replaced Stories of the Spirit, Stories of the Heart: Parables of the Spiritual Path from Around the World, which is now out of print. while i can recommend them both, i strongly urge those interested in the the book being reviewed to find a used copy of the other. i remember looking for a copy as a gift for someone, and mistaking Soul Food for it. i couldn't find some of my favorite stories, which clued me in to the difference, and overall was struck by more glossiness in Soul Food: Stories ... at the cost of depth. it's worth seeking out used copies of the other. (i recommend that at some risk of depleting the supply - i continue to give away copies as gifts, over the years, and hope they don't run out!)

regardless, i appreciate the good and constructive work of the authors of both books (jack kornfield the link between the two) - the best kind of work.
