The Holy Man's Journey

Critics praised Susan Trott's national bestseller, The Holy Man, as "endlessly entertaining and gently profound" (Kirkus)."With wit and modern insight,it compels readers to look inward, to turn to themselves for enlightenment" (Booklist) Now Trott continues her entertaining and spiritually illuminating tales of the holy man with The Holy Man's Journey in which Joe undertakes a pilgrimage of his own to visit his old teacher who is ill. He must leave his beloved hemitage and fellow monks, perhaps never to return. Accompanying him is his student successor, Anna, who learns from dramatic situations during their journey lessons in compassion and right action, not only for her but for Trott's spellbound readers. Intimate and revealing, this is a tale of friendship and love that shows the human side of the holy man while never ceasing to instruct and enlighten the reader.
