Great teachings stories - that school us in virtue and ethics, compassion and humanity - have been passed down through the ages as a vital, personal way to share wisdom. Jack Kornfield & Christina Feldman serve up a delicious banquet of wise tales from the world's greatest spiritual guides, including Jesus, the Buddh, Ramakrishna, and the Taoist sages. They offer contemporary readers a feast rich with wisdom and filled with timeless moral and spiritual lessons. Gathering lively and inspiring parables from both Eastern and Western traditions, from Christian, Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, Native American, African, and Zen teachings, Soul Food illustrates the eternal truths: the greatness of the human spirit, the endless wonder and possiblity of live, the necessity of courage, love and laughter, and our quest for wisdom and virtue. Each story offers a glimpse of revelation, an example of virtue, or a moment of truth that will sustain travellers as they traverse the road to a more spiritual life.
I liked Stories fo the Spirit, Stories of the Heart better

It's better than not having something available, but I liked Stories of the Spirit Stories of the Heart so much better. I wish it were not out of print. I have given at least 20 as gifts. Last Christmas I had to give Soul Food because I couldn't get "Stories".
Worth a second read - buy two.

"Soul Food" is a joy to read. Recently I have read the wonder-filled and inspiring "The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" which reminded me of Kornfield and Feldman's and so I returned to it for a second time. Both these books should be brought down from the shelf when the sun goes down - extend daylight without putting your hydro bill up!. I had forgotten what pleasure I found in first reading Soul food.
