Customer Reviews

Deeply inspirational and a highly recommended
Compiled and edited by Eknath Easwaran, God Makes The Rivers To Flow: Sacred Literature Of The World collects meditation passages, poetry, prose, and more of life-affirming writings drawn from the diverse religious traditions of the East and West. An eclectic collection of religious literature spanning continents, centuries, and divergent faiths, God Makes The Rivers To Flow is deeply inspirational and a highly recommended addition to Interfaith Religious Studies collections and Personal Spirituality reading lists.

A Deep Well To Draw Upon
I didn't think that this book could get better but this third edition is almost twice the size of the last. It is overflowing with such beautiful and inspirational passages from all the world's religions. I was especially pleased to see that this edition adds many more christian passages to the already glowing contributions from the eastern religions. I use the passages daily for meditation and inspirational reading. The appendix of the book has a great description of exactly how this can be done.

Support on the path of life...
I cannot praise this book enough... it has helped and sustained me so much in my life. Even in times of emotional turmoil, when I picked the book up and opened it at random - it gave me words I needed to hear. It offers a meaningful selection from all the religions. The book is intended as an aid to meditation, but truly it offers more than this. I hope others will benefit from the loving intention upon which the book has been created. (Makes a wonderful gift too, for a young person just starting out in life who may have need of its sustainance.)
