5.0 out of 5 stars
Everybody is lining up somewhere, waiting for something..., 24 April 2001
By A Customer
I found Susan Trott's 'The Holy Man' by sheer chance, as one is wont to do. It was lent to me by the mother of one of the children in my class, and subsequently given as a gift.Simple and easy to read, it is at the same time insightful and though-provoking. The stream of characters waiting for the Holy Man are all looking for answers, waiting for something to happen to make sense of this experience we call life. They find their own way often enough, finding a wisdom within which they thought they needed to find from somewhere outside of themselves. Somewhere in this little book, there are answers for everyone. More importantly, there are questions. For me, it has been one more step on an extraordinary path which began with Richard Bach's "Illusions", led me to Neale Donald Walch's "Conversations With God" and Alan Watt's "The Book", amongst many others. I can't help but draw parallels with Gibran's masterpiece, "The Prophet". If any of the above titles ring bells with you, have a look at 'The Holy Man'. For my part, I'd like to thank Susan Trott for saying so much, so clearly.
