Love is the way
Thoughtfully written appealing to beginner and advanced practicioners or soul searchers. Lays out why love is the way in Sufi life, and all life. Highly recommend.

I believe in Sufi Teaching
I bought this book not by accident. I am a moslem and I wanted to learn the real meaning of what is written in Quran. Real meaning of life, and the Ultimate Reality. So I bought this book and some others. And I found my answers in Sufi teaching. Now I am looking for a teacher. And I believe my heart will show me. The light in the self will show me.This book is very important. It ushers you (readers) into understanding Sufism.I live in Java, the land of spiritual, and I learnt mysticism in my family. I also read many books about Physics, theoretical physics and cosmology.I read about Hinduism; The Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and others. All of these is to understand the ultimate truth of Reality.Yet Sufism blew my mind away and reshaped what I have learnt to something more meaningful, and everything now felt so right, perfect, and doubtless.The Science of physics and the spiritual-the mystic are ONE. Literally.I see the nature and people in it differently. I have no fear nor doubt. Very calm. Very peaceful. Full of love. The Love of God.My brothers and sisters, let there be no hatred in this world. Only Peace and Love. Because we are One. One of God.La Illaha illallah. There is no God but God.

Sufism: the transformation of the heart
I found this book to be enlightening..I saw the author on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday..found what he had to say so interesting ..I have the book in my kindle...I must have been under a rock because this is the first time I heard about Sufism...although many of the principles I already live..it is never too late to learn something new...

one of the rare books written out of the author's authantic experiences
One of the rare books written out of the author's authantic experiences, you get this feeling especially if you have some backround and your own experience on the path. There were striking determinations about out inner nature. Author is aware of contemperory physchological approaches which makes the content richer and accesible for readers from different backround. Author prefers to use a neutral language in terms of relegious point, which may be a plus for Westerner way of putting things but I find it somewhat a weakness of the work. This was the 1st time I read the author, and will definetely continue reading his other works. Maybe too early to comment. Hopefully we may meet sometime in person...

Heart Transforming purchased from Amazon
I saw this author on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday about a month ago. When Lewellen Vaughn-Lee shared that there are at least 99 words for God, but the Sufi's say "Beloved," my heart opened and I felt transformed. All the other words for God did not resonate with me...too remote or not meaningful, just words. "Beloved" was the key for me, I felt it in my heart and tears sprung to my eyes.The gentleness in this man made me want more. I immediately downloaded Sufism: The Transformation of the Heart on my Amazon Kindle. At the same time I ordered the paperback from Amazon as well. The book is well written, gentle in nature, and on my bedside table. I whole heartedly recommend it.

Broad historical review
It's well written, clear, and historical but not modern. Can't pictpureeSufi's being the folks next door, but supposedly they just might be! Overall The book served to better inform me and somewhat inspire.

Learned a lot about Islam...
I am a reader, it has always been a hobby for me andI love the feel of a book in my hand and owning a copyof the book. I read to know that I am not alone and thiswas one book that taught me a whole lot...We are more alikethan different. The book gives a history of the Islam beliefand the Muslim true culture. It also tells us that weare looking for the same thing...Love...Love for God, Love forothers, and Love for self. Reading this book gave me hope formy belief...We Are One...One In God.
