A compelling story about one man's spiritual journey and coming to terms with a spiritual commitment in light of personal, political, and relational upheaval. It is noot a historical drama based on the Gospels but rather a novel-long allegory illustrating the challenges and (ultimately) the succeses of choosing to lead a spiritual life. Truly an exceptional and life-enriching work that transcends religion and dogma and proves capable of inspiring one to grow an myriad ways, whether it is spiritual, emotional, or intellectual. It was also the basis for an incredibly moving (yet controverisal) film directed by Martin Scorcese.
