From
the Ashes
From the
Ashes--A Spiritual Response to the Attack on America, a
volume of essays published by Beliefnet/Rodale Books in the
aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America,
features the commentary of spiritual leaders and global
citizens from a wide spectrum of faiths and traditions. The
book addresses the spiritual shock so keenly felt as a result
of recent tragic events rather than their impact on national
security and economics.
The volume includes an essay by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda,
"The Evil Over Which We Must Triumph" (see a full
reprint of the article here), one
of about 70 contributions from writers representative of
Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and other
religions.
The book's declared purpose is to help people move forward
together toward healing and hope, by invoking many voices,
many perspectives and a multifaceted spiritual search. All
profits will go toward disaster relief.
