Between the Twilight and the Rim: Finding Happiness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692338612)

The meditative life and the search for God are encapsulated here in a story. It is not the saga of a renowned Saint or Sage, but the simple and pure expression of love in a small native boy as he discovers truths that blossom out of his own ancient traditions and are experienced anew. Ali sets out from the prairies of his homeland, through a settlement of town-folk and far beyond, seeking to become a man. He learns that in the process, finding happiness is the key. Inspired by the teachings of Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda. This story is illustrated with a vibrancy of charming characters and color, by Sharon's sister Ollie Anderson. They grew up in northwestern Canada where the pristine majesty of nature would serve as the perfect inspirational backdrop for this timeless wilderness quest. brief excerpt: forward -- "Grandfather.. do all Holy People experience the same God?"
