In The Way of Passion, Andrew Harvey unlocks as never before the huge depth of enlightened wisdom in the poetry of Rumi, the 13th century Sufi mystic. Himself a charismatic mystic with a passionate vision of the infinite, Andrew Harvey has spent the last twenty years of his life in search of the essential truths that could transform the spiritual barrenness at the heart of modern Western civilisation. Here, he draws on Rumi's poems to present his ecstatic vision of spiritual surrender and union as a guide to the crisis that besets us. Inspired by Rumi's voice and by his own startling ability to see into the innermost heart of life, Harvey urges us to change, to have faith and to act through Love to transform this time of Apocalypse into the time of Resurrection.
