Why am I passionate about this?
I have been thinking about spiritual things since I was around 9 years old, and as soon as I was old enough, I was off learning experientially in the world. This has allowed for deep learning and understanding of a wide range of subjects, particularly spirituality and ultimate reality. I teach philosophy, religious studies, and politics in my day job, and so, now on the cusp of 46 years, I can truly say I love spiritual and philosophical thought. I also think it’s hard to write books about these topics and I love how allegory and fable can be so accessible.
Andrew's book list on spiritual allegory
Why did Andrew love this book?
I was blown away when I read this book! I loved the adventure and twists and turns and how it made me think. I couldn’t believe what I was reading, and I think I’ve spent all my time since then trying to figure out what it was talking about.
This book is the reason I have been inspired into my own spiritual journey and adventure, and I have also done a lot of traveling, all because of this book. I also know lots of other people who quote this book as the book that started it all.
