The spiritual teachings of many faith traditions can help you step beyond the limits of any one tradition to the reality that can't be named. The fastest growing spiritual movement in the United States today is that of the religiously unaffiliated. These spiritual seekers make up 20 percent of the adult American population; they are the spiritual equivalent of political independents. Refusing to limit themselves to one religion or another, these seekers without borders are open to wisdom wherever it can be found. This is a "bible" for this vast and growing social movement. It weaves sacred texts and teachings from the world's major religions--Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and more--into a coherent exploration of the five core questions at the heart of every religion's search: * Who am I? * Where did I come from? * Where am I going? * How shall I live? * Why? It couples these sacred teachings with modern commentary designed to help readers use these texts in their daily lives. It also provides the basics of spiritual mentor Eknath Easwaran's Passage Meditation to help you internalize the texts that articulate your deepest insights and values.

As I am working to actively determine my spiritual path, this was a perfect fit for me. The book is broken into categories, including an exploration of what perennial wisdom is, the the questions that likely arise because of it. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? How shall I live? (and the least important: Why?)
The teachings come from many areas of religious study, but all focus on the theme of the section. The annotations provided felt honest and helped to give further understanding of the text. While there were some annotations that I did not agree with, I felt that this meant there was more to gain from the book focused on spiritual autonomy than there would have been had I agreed with everything.
