The Value of Your Soul
Description
Previously published as The Value of Your Soul: Rumi Verse for Life's Annoying Moments, by S.A. Snyder. In the vein of chicken soup stories, this amusing slim volume of self-help features short tales from the American author's trials and tribulations of living at a spiritual retreat in Scotland. Excerpted from the author's memoir, the stories are couched in terms of "life's annoyances" and offer lessons for coping. Each short chapter focuses on a unique event taken from the author's life and is applied to a common experience that everyone can relate to. The author uses excerpts from the Sufi poet Rumi to tease wisdom from the lessons learned, presented with humility and humor. The chapters are delightfully illustrated. The Value of Your Soul is like lamb stew for the annoyed soul!
