Steven Harrison's books have inspired many to examine their ideas about life and about spirituality in particular, and to come to a more direct perception of their experience. 'The Shimmering World' is a good introduction to his sometimes challenging approach to living. It includes previously unpublished excerpts from his talks as well as inspiring, thought-provoking quotes from his books. An elegant, potentially life-changing gift for those who hunger for what is real in a world overrun by concepts.
