| | Industry reviews | "[A] modern-day allegory...endlessly entertaining and gently profound." White
"Playful...inventive...delightful." White
"Reminiscent of Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'.... The book cleverly encapsulates much of the human search for wisdom and happiness. In the brief time we spend with these characters, their tales become more familiar, and we recognize their questions, hardships, and needs as our own. 'The Holy Man' dispenses a fresh brand of wisdom. With wit and modern insight, it compels readers to look inward, to turn to themselves, for enlightenment." White
"A sincere and earnest fable....A particular brand of spirituality where old and new jibe in mutual tolerance and kindness. Westernized Buddhism mingles freely with Christianity." Schwartz
