Review Quotes

"Deepak Chopra has successfully blended ancient Vedanta Philosophy with his unique perspective on modern science to provide a vast audience with solutions that meet many needs for our modern age. He is among the influential scholars, authors, and thinkers like Arthur Schopenhauer, Carl Jung, and Aldous Huxley who have found truth in the Perennial Philosophy and developed ways to help people apply that truth to their daily lives." - Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions

"The line is usually drawn from God to revelation but by drawing it from revelation to God in this astonishing book, Deepak achieves two startling results. He shows that the one God need not be the same God for everyone, and that it is not necessary to see the entire staircase leading to God for us to take the first step on it." - Arvind Sharma, Birks Professor of Comparative Religion, McGill University

Deepak Chopra, the spiritual sage, has exhibited immense ambition in his latest novel, God: A Story of Revelation. His attempt to explain God makes my bones shiver. His success in defining that life-long mystery brings tears to my eyes and humbles me in gratitude. He has probed through the ages in order to write a book for the ages. - Maya Angelou
