In her first book, A Baptist Among the Jews, Mary Blye Howe offered a powerful, deeply personal account of her journey into Orthodox Judaism. Now, she continues her spiritual journey in an honest exploration of the Muslim Sufi tradition. In a book that elegantly informs our own traditions---whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or seeker---while offering an intimate look at Sufi mystics, Blye Howe invites us to experience the exhilarating freedom and joy that comes with discovering new aspects of God. Meet some of the West's Sufi masters as they tell stories, jostle and joke through Turkey on a bus. Explore with Mary the mysteries of the sema---the meditation movement that made Rumi famous---as she whirls at midnight under a starlit sky on a ranch in the Texas Hill country. But most importantly, accept the invitation to enter the world of the mystics---and to discover the connection that lies at the heart of all the world's great religions
