Raised in a small Midwest town, fervent in his observance of evangelical Christianity, his sudden and unexpected spiritual awakening at the age of 20 set him on a path that would lead him to the other side of the world – to Holy India, which he immediately recognized as the true home of his spirit.

Written with his usual insight, vividness, and humor, this book presents new stories of his encounters with Ma Anandamayi, Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh and many other saints and yogis.

Sign up, and you’ll receive a PDF copy to read, and later we’ll send details on how to leave a review when the book is launched in early November.
