Description

"Many Prophets, One Wisdom is truly a book whose time has come. It could not possibly be any more needed and timely. This is the way to move forward to the next level of tolerance and understanding, the way to advance the globalization of human values... via the teachings of some of our greatest prophets" - From the Foreword by Michael B Davie, author, Winning Ways "People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?" That question, was posed by African American Rodney King following race riots sparked by his videotaped unprovoked beating by police. It's a simple yet compelling question that continues to resonate in today's world of global conflicts and strife. Can our world find common ground to live together in mutual respect and harmony? Can we all get along? Lawyer-philosopher Phil Thompson explores that question in his remarkable insightful book Many Prophets, One Wisdom. Thompson has studied the teachings of our greatest prophets from varied cultures, nations and religions. All these prophets find enormous value and merit in peaceful coexistence with others. Collectively their words of wisdom provide common values and attitudes that cross time and ideology and can guide humanity toward a world free of the wars and conflicts that have been so costly in terms of loss of life, freedom, dignity, and hope. Audience: Wide general audience but with particular interest to Baby Boomers and New-Agers
