Along the way we meet the people who shaped him and shared his journey a Who's Who of 20th century spiritual America: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, T.

"In this delightful autobiography, Smith tells us how he became the dean of world religion experts. Along the way we meet the people who shaped him and shared his journey--a Who's Who of 20th century spiritual America: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, T.S. Eliot, Thomas Merton and Pete Seeger.... A valuable master class on faith and life."
-- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

As Stephen Hawking is to science; as Peter Drucker is to economics; and as Joseph Campbell is to mythology; so Huston Smith is to the study of world religions. Tales of Wonder is the unforgettable spiritual memoir of the author of the classic The World's Religions, the man who taught a nation about the great faiths of the world, and his fascinating encounters with the people who helped shape the 20th century.

This is more than an autobiography--it's a testament to a life spent chasing the divine across cultural and religious frontiers.

  • A Remarkable Spiritual Journey: From a childhood in missionary China to training in a Zen monastery, practicing with Hindu yogis, and whirling with Sufi dervishes in Iran.
  • Encounters with 20th Century Spiritual Leaders: Walk alongside Smith as he meets and learns from luminaries like the Dalai Lama, Aldous Huxley, and Thomas Merton.
  • The Heart of Comparative Religion: Discover the personal story behind the classic text The World's Religions and the universal truths Smith found at the heart of every faith.
  • A Master Class on Faith: A life of ceaseless exploration that offers profound reflections on what it means to be human, to seek, and to find wonder in the world.

Great Value and Good Quality RV Queen-sized Comforter Set
Color: Beige Striped, Size: Full
We needed a smaller comforter for our RV bed to limit overhang and this one seemed like a good fit and we were right. The print is conservative and modern in appearance. The feel and thickness are perfect for our typical use in a warm weather state that we camp in year round. Last trip out it got pretty cold overnight and we let our dog sleep on our bed. When we returned home we washed it for the first time. I held my breath to see what condition it would be in afterwards and it came out in great condition. While we were using it, we noticed the weight, texture and comfort were all where we needed it to be and therefore we would recommend this if you needed an RV Queen sized comforter without breaking the bank.
