Here is truth and enlightenment for the next generation of spiritual seekers; a book Deepak Chopra’s millions of fans worldwide have been waiting for.

God keeps speaking, but the message changes. This story of revelation explores the divine through the lives of:

• The Prophets of the Book: From Job’s trials in the Old Testament to St. Paul’s transformative vision in the New, discover how God spoke to the founders of Western faith.
• The Philosophers of East and West: Journey with Socrates to "know thyself" and with the Indian sage Shankara to see that life is a dream, revealing two different paths to higher reality.
• The Ecstatic Mystics: Experience the rapturous love of the Sufi poet Rumi and the profound comfort of Julian of Norwich, who declared that in God's eyes, "All shall be well."
• The Heretics and Rebels: Stand with Giordano Bruno against the Inquisition, Anne Hutchinson against the Puritans, and the Baal Shem Tov against rigid dogma to see how revelation often comes to those who challenge the status quo.
• The Modern Visionary: In a final revelation, see through the eyes of poet Rabindranath Tagore how the divine expresses itself as an endless mystery in the modern world.

“Deepak Chopra has successfully blended ancient Vedanta Philosophy with his unique perspective on modern science to provide a vast audience with solutions that meet many needs for our modern age.

“The line is usually drawn from God to revelation but by drawing it from revelation to God in this astonishing book, Deepak achieves two startling results. He shows that the one God need not be the same God for everyone, and that it is not necessary to see the entire staircase leading to God for us to take the first step on it.” - Arvind Sharma, Birks Professor of Comparative Religion, McGill University
