The authors present a diverse selection of these inspirational tales—about both men and women saints, from a variety of time periods, and from all over India—and make them relevant for a modern audience. The stories reveal that, despite their perceived differences, the same spiritual principles underlie all the great religious traditions.RelatedCheck items to add to the cart orAuthor BioDoug Glener holds a B.A. in English from Vassar College.
