| Propelled
since childhood by the untimely death of his parents,
author Bill Elliott has searched for answers to the
fundamental questions of existence. What
is life's purpose? What is God or Ultimate Reality? Why
do people suffer? Does a part of us live on after death?
What role do relationships play in life? In
his quest, Elliott traveled the world and conversed with
twenty leaders of spiritual renown. Time and again,
luminaries such as Mother Teresa, H. H. the Dalai Lama,
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Ram Dass, and others warmed to
Elliott's heartfelt longing for meaning behind the
workings of the world. Their views are framed by
Elliott's enduring voice: personal, engaging, and
remarkably perceptive. Tying Rocks to
Clouds is sometimes sad, often
funny, and always filled with freshness and joy as it
reveals the wisdom of highly spiritual people. From the book: "There was a reason in back of my birth and in back of the birth of every human being." --Dr. Norman Vincent Peale |
There is a Jewish notion that holiness is found with other people. To understand what life really is, one has to share it." --Rabbi Harold Kushner "If I'm really blessed, I'll live long enough to see unconditional love on this earth. Then, I can dance on the galaxies and die. I'll feel I've done my share." --Elisabeth Kubler-Ross TO READ AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK:
