A Book of Life

A Book of Life - Thryft
A Book of Life - Thryft

Rediscovering sacred truths of human and universal connection.

"A Book of Life" isn't your average philosophical read—it feels like a portal to a deeper understanding of life's mysteries. If you've been feeling disconnected or seeking a more profound sense of meaning, Peter Kingsley's work might resonate deeply with you, bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary search for purpose. It's meant for introspective souls looking to unlock the universal truths within.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Peter Kingsley’s Book of Life is the culmination and completion of an extraordinary body of work. As a historian he has revolutionized our understanding of ancient philosophy and religion; as a mystic, he introduced us to what philosophy and religion are meant to be.Hauntingly personal, almost autobiographical, this is not the story of one man’s life. It’s the secret story of us all. Beyond scepticism and cynicism, belief or imagination, A Book of Life offers a roadmap to reality by showing how it still is possible to experience the sacred truths our ancestors knew and lived—that inside every human being lies the universe and that life itself, in all its splendour, is what lies behind our tiny lives.This little book is a wide open door into the timeless magic and unfathomable mystery our modern world has managed to forget. Even so, to encourage anyone to read it now would be totally wrong—because it was written to be read not by people today but in a distant future. “This indescribable book is more than a book. It’s an apocalypse—a fire from another world.”PIR ZIA INAYAT-KHAN
