Turning Toward the Mystery: A Seeker's Journey

In "Turning Toward the Mystery" Stephen Levine shares his own spiritual journey - from heroin "junkie" to ardent spiritual seeker - it's quite a journey indeed!I found Mr. Levine's writings to be very poetic - sometimes flowing, sometimes disjointed, but always leading the reader to another insight. And, although there were times when I wasn't quite sure what he was saying, I had the feeling that his words were simply planting a seed, and the greater awareness of their meaning will come in time.Overall, I found this book to be a truly interesting, enjoyable, & insightful read. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in spirituality and/or Buddhist concepts. It has a lot to offer!

He is a celebrated spiritual guide who is transparent about his journey from dissipation to dharma consciousness. It did not lift me up as much as did the book he wrote with his wife Ondrea, Embracing the Beloved. However, his journey is interesting and a good companion piece to others he has written.

Brilliant work by Stephen Levine. Deeply poetic sharing of his spiritual journey and helpful to anyone who is one the way through a human life. Deep bow to the Spirit of Stephen.

The best biography I've ever read, filled with insight on how to really be alive, while your aliveAnd poetically written... beautiful

I was happy to stumble upon this book and even happier when I read it. It had so many little gems in it and the chapters are short so it's an easy read too.

Beautifully written story of a life of an honest spiritual seeker..

I think this was the first book of his I read. I have given this book as a gift many times. I always want to have a copy on my book shelf!
