The Holy Man by Susan Trott
4.0
A friend from church let me borrow this little book. Like most people said, it's a very quick and light read, but has many nuggets of wisdom embedded in the vignettes.
People - called pilgrims - from around the world travel to the mountain where the Holy Man lives and wait in a line during the summer months, waiting their turn to seek guidance and council from him. From their stories we learn to have patience, compassion, treat others with kindness, and enjoy life instead of worrying, among other things.
One part of the stories I liked was how some people discovered the answer to their question while they were in line waiting to see the Holy Man. This story points out that on the path to finding answers we can find them ourself. It was also cool how some of the stories were connected to others.
This is a great book to read if you're looking for something to ponder over or if you just need some advice. There's at least one story in here for everyone.
