From the cover: Why has humankind always sought the Light? What do pharaohs and prophets and festivals around the world tell us about the meaning of the Light? A modern woman has an extraordinary dream that seems like a near-death experience. This gives rise to a quest for truth. Dissatisfied with answers at home, she takes her search abroad and enters a labyrinth of fortunetellers, religious scholars, Sufi guides, and spiritual archaeologists. Propelled by what she discovers, her journey continues to the foundation of religious unity. A Modern-Day Journey for Peace moves us to consider if the Light of the near-death experience isn't actually the bedrock of religion and the springboard for a universal connection. This story uncovers our prevailing spiritual unity despite our world's seemingly different beliefs. Ultimately, there is a powerful spiritual bond we have with one another. Gods and the names for God have changed in every era, yet one dynamic remains constant- the Light.
