Soul Searchers An Anthology of Spiritual Journeys compiled by Teresa de Bertodano

This is a wide-ranging compilation of spiritual journeys from a wealth of material -- biographical, autobiographical and fictional -- spanning four millennia and five continents from the lives of many you will recognize. The stories or writings included in Soul Searchers is divided into three sections of journeys. The first Journey takes one through the spiritual and psychological challenges of childhood and teenage years until a degree of stability is discovered in "who I am," The second Journey can occur at any time from the mid-twenties to the fifties or sixties and can be triggered by something that causes all previous certainties to be questioned. The third Journey takes one into the final stage of life, where one moves towards death.  From the beginning of history men and women have known what it is to be pilgrims and travelers on the face of the earth. These stories resonate with the deepest yearnings of the human soul.
