The authors discuss the intricate relationships between interfaith activities and religious identity, nationalism, violence, and peacemaking in four very different settings: Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. They interview the whole cross-section of local Interfaith Dialogue workers: not only clerics and "dialoguing" professionals but also laypersons, who are often more eloquent than any scholar at expressing the realities, hopes, and frustrations of Interfaith Dialogue within their home countries. They take on the perennial dilemma faced by Interfaith Dialogue proponents: avoid politics and risk irrelevance, or take up the political questions and risk "politicizing" the dialogue, with all the disruptive effects this implies. Above all, this important book demonstrates the desire for interfaith dialogue in these polarized societies, and the extent to which, against strong odds, religious communities are connecting with each other.

The Wisdom Of The Mahatmas Who Have Come With The Mission Of Uplifting The World Has Both Immediate And Eternal Meaning. Even Though They Elucidate Values That Are Everlasting, They Are Attuned To The Call Of The Times In Which They Live, And Their Words Are In Response To The Heartbeat Of Their Listeners. Mother Speaks Her Immortal Words Which Transform Society At A Time When Man Has Lost His Traditional Values, Nobler Sentiments And Peace Of Mind, In The Frenzied Attempt To Reinforce The Outer World Of Sensory Pleasures, Power And Prestige. Man’s Senseless Pursuit Of These Distractions, Oblivious Of His Own Self, Has Cost Him The Harmony And Graciousness Of His Life. Lack Of Faith, A Sense Of Competition And Fear Have Destroyed Personal Ties And Family Relations. Love Has Become A Mirage In A Culture Of Excessive Consumerism. Throughout The World Today, The Darshan And The Nectar Like Words Of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi Are Effecting Transformations In The Lives Of Hundreds Of Thousands Of People. This Book Is A Precious Collection Of Conversations Between The Holy Mother And Her Disciples, Devotees And Inquiring Visitors During The Period From June 1985 To September 1986.
