My Years with the Qutb: A Walk in Paradise

by Sharon Marcus

Poet and novelist Sharon Marcus describes her meeting and years with the great Sufi sage and Saint M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen as the miraculous intersection of the human and the divine. This book is for all those who have wondered what it is like to sit with a sanctified master of wisdom, absorbing his love, his grace and the transformational teachings which illuminate the path to God. Transcending religion, philosophy or doctrine, the mystical Sufi path lies open to every soul longing for God.
