{"product_id":"path-of-lightning-barbara-schmitz-9781936671113","title":"Path of Lightning","description":"Author and poet Barbara Schmitz offers a heartful, funny, and deeply moving \"spiritual autobiography\" that brings the reader along on each stage of her fervent inner quest for mystical experience. Beginning with a Catholic girlhood in Nebraska, she graduates to an unlikely apprenticeship with Allen Ginsberg at the Naropa Institute; a dedicated transcendental meditation practice; and finally to thirty years of joys and struggles with a Sufi teacher (Shahabuddin Less) with whom she travels to Bali, Turkey, India, Kashmir, and the Holy Land. Incisive as lightning-the meaning of her Sufi name, Vajra-her questions and yearning are our own, and she doesn't let God, her teacher, or herself off the hook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Schmitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936671115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936671113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pinyon Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Barbara Schmitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440146690303,"sku":"9781936671113","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f2d0f21-cf87-4d22-b0e0-70a719235f6f.jpg?v=1777180505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/path-of-lightning-barbara-schmitz-9781936671113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
