Radhanath Swami is a #1 New York Times Best-selling Author of The Journey Home & The Journey Wihin

Whenever I look back to that day, I am reminded how prayers may be answered in ways we never expect. To grow may require that we be shaken right to our core. While kneeling on that roadside in Herat, something died within me, giving birth to a realization necessary for me to move forward in my path. With each step, a camel lifts its hoof from a stable place on earth in order to move forward. And to reach the sea, each ripple of the river must let go of its present state to surrender to the current.

RADHANATH SWAMI | THE JOURNEY HOME

The journey home.

Within this extraordinary memoir, Radhanath Swami weaves a colorful tapestry of adventure, mysticism, and love. Readers follow Richard Slavin from the suburbs of Chicago to the caves of the Himalayas as he transforms from young seeker to renowned spiritual guide.

The Journey Home is an intimate account of the steps to self awareness and a penetrating glimpse into the heart of mystic traditions and the challenges that all souls must face on the road to inner harmony and a union with the Divine.

Through near-death encounters, apprenticeships with advanced yogis, and years of travel along the pilgrim’s path, Radhanath Swami eventually reaches the inner sanctum of India’s mystic culture and finds the love he has been seeking. It is a tale told with rare candor, immersing the reader in a journey that is at once engaging, humorous, and heartwarming.

THE JOURNEY WITHIN

In this long-awaited follow-up to his international bestseller, The Journey Home: Autobiography of an American Swami, renowned spiritual leader and social activist, Radhanath Swami, shares intimate stories from his decades of experience as a guru of Bhakti-Yoga.

His teachings illustrate the basic tenants of this ancient philosophy. With illuminating references to Western religions and ideologies, The Journey Within invites readers from all backgrounds to discover the simple truths that unite us.

The Journey Within was awarded the coveted New York Times Best Seller under the “Religion, Spirituality and Faith” category. The New York Times Best Seller award is an authoritatively ranked list of books sold in the United States, sorted by format and genre. Radhanath Swami’s second book also won the 29th The Independent Book Publishers Association’s (IBPA) Benjamin Franklin Gold Award in the “Body, Mind & Spirit” category.

The Odyssey Summary and Analysis

The Odyssey Summary – Introduction

The Odyssey is an epic poem written by the celebrated Greek poet in approximately 700 B.C. The companion poem to The Odyssey is The Iliad which was published around 750 B.C. This work follows the brave and famed hero, Odysseus, who is trapped far away from his family with the nymph Calypso.

Held hostage out of obsessive love, Odysseus is unable to return home to his family in Ithaca. In his absence, a team of suitors take up residence at his palace and attempt to court his wife and murder his son, usurping Odysseus’s rulership. However, the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus intervene on his behalf and after a series of trials and grand adventures, he is able to return home and restore order.

Literary Elements

Type of Work: Poem

Genres: Epic  

Published Date: Unknown, but estimated to be written around the year 700 B.C.  

Setting: Greece during what is known as the Bronze Age, twelfth/thirteenth century B.C.  

Main Characters: Odysseus, Telemachus, Athena, Penelope

Protagonist/Hero: Odysseus

Antagonist: Many monsters and evil forces threaten Odysseus’s journey back home. A mob of evil suitors waits for him at home, pillaging his palace and trying to court his wife and murder his son.  

Major Thematic Elements: The power of the mind over physical strengths; the dangers of temptation; the dangers of isolation; how maturity comes from trials and triumphs  

Motifs: Characters in disguise; storytelling traditions; temptress characters

Exposition: It has been 10 years since the fall of Troy and the people of Ithaca are still awaiting the return of their hero, Odysseus. A mob of suitors have overrun his palace and are courting his wife, Penelope. However, she does everything she can to remain faithful to her husband, believing he will return, despite their plots to take control of Odysseus’s kingdom by any means necessary.

Conflict: Odysseus has to get home to get rid of the suitors who are trying to win over his wife and take control of his kingdom. His son, Telemachus, is faced with the need to mature early to protect his family’s honor and to secure his place as ruler of Ithaca should his father not return home.

Plot: Chronological, jumping between Odysseus’s current location and his home in Ithaca

Major Symbols: Food and feasts; Odysseus’s bow; characterizations of temptation

Climax: The beggar in the palace reveals his identity as Odysseus in Book 22.

Literary Significance of The Odyssey

Furthermore, audiences of all ages throughout the millennia have enjoyed stories in which brave heroes face insurmountable challenges and then preserve. The thematic elements of The Odyssey speak to the triumph of good over evil and that even a human man can withstand temptations and persevere until he is reunited with what is important to him. This speaks to the boldness of the human spirit, which is always a winning idea in literature. Historically speaking, the poem also conveys a nice peak at the values that were important to ancient Greeks.

About the Book Journey Back Home

Book: Journey Back Home

Author: Cheri Swalwell

Genre: Christian Romance

As you know, life isn’t always as it seems.

Ten years, four children, two full-time careers, insane schedules—this is not what Jace and Simone signed up for. When the couple married a decade ago, they shared a passion for serving youth together. They believed their deep love for God and shared interests were all they needed to keep their marriage strong.

With Jace busy as a youth minister on the weekends, and Simone taking care of their four children, as well as her second-grade classroom, they barely find time to connect with each other. Travel up close and personal into the home of a youth pastor and his family as they deal with issues far-to-common in this fast-paced society.

Tragedy strikes…an investigation begins…and it seems as though life will never return to the “happily-ever-after” of their dreams.

When their world is turned upside down, the question becomes…will God give the family strength to journey back home?

If you like wholesome fiction with a faith-filled message, buckle in to read Journey Back Home, Book 2 of The Redemption of Green Pines series today.

My Thoughts on Journey Back Home

In Journey Back Home we get to follow a youth pastor and his family as they live their life.  That includes when tragedy hits.  The married couple, both work, and they have four children to love and raise up while also balancing their jobs and lives.  It can be hard to make time for each other when your lives are this busy. 

This is the second book in a series, but I did not read the first book first.  Yes, I know, I broke my own rule.  Anyway.  Even though I started with this book I did not feel like I missed out on a lot of the story.  Book one follows Holly and Mitch.  I feel like this whole series is going to be stand-alone novels though they do have characters that combine them all. 

I really enjoyed this book.  It read really well and I could imagine having friends in this situation.  It’s definitely an author I can get into.  Her style of writing made me feel like I was in the story and had to keep going to find out what was going to be happening next. 

You can be sure I will be following this series and reading all of the books within it.  I may also need to read everything by this author as I really enjoy her style. 

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

About the Author of Journey Back Home

More from cheri.

Journey Back Home was the first novel I ever wrote. The way God downloaded it into my heart was by sharing Simone’s side of the story first. Her journey is shared in the book through a series of diary entries. So I basically wrote the middle of the book first, then the ending, and then went back and wrote the beginning. It was definitely God who tied it all together so nicely.

When I finished writing Journey Back Home, it sat in my computer folders for six years. During that time God took fiction away from me and gave me the platform of nonfiction. Two years ago, He lovingly gave me fiction back and I pulled it out, dusted it off, and started getting it ready to publish.

However, I realized it wasn’t a standalone book anymore. It was a community, a tight-knit group of people who had much more they wanted to share with readers. And I knew I needed to start with Holly’s story. Adventure’s Invitation, Book 1 of The Redemption of Green Pines, tells Holly’s background which is an integral part of Journey Back Home .

I hope you fall in love with Jace, Simone, their four children, and of course Holly as much as I have. If so, get ready because there are many more people to grow to love in all six books of The Redemption of Green Pines series.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I’m so glad you enjoyed this story. Adventure’s Invitation helps you get to know Holly and the reasons why she did what she did in Journey Back Home, but Book 3, Trail to Forgiveness, picks up a few hours after Journey Back Home ends. You won’t want to miss what happens next!

Thank you for such a beautiful review.

Definitely going to be reading the next book now!

Bridging inherited traditions into a bigger Christian world

Leonard Allen’s newest book offers a heartfelt memoir exploring the intersection of inherited faith, personal discovery and the transformative power of forgiveness.

In his latest book, The Bookroom: Remembrance and Forgiveness—A Memoir , Leonard Allen , dean of the College of Bible and Ministry, shares a number of personal yet familiar stories centered around his father’s bookroom. This intimate space, filled with books that sparked Allen’s curiosity and fueled his intellectual pursuits as a boy, serves as the starting point for his journey to comprehend the faith he inherited—a journey that has shaped him into a theologian, scholar and writer.

A well-established authority on the history and theology of the Churches of Christ, Allen has taught Bible, theology, ethics and philosophy at five Christian universities and seminaries. He speaks widely at churches and colleges, and has authored and co-authored 15 books that primarily explore the history and theological trajectory of the Restoration Movement, the roots of modern Churches of Christ.

Referencing Christian writer and novelist Frederick Buechner’s insight that “At its heart, most theology, like much fiction, is essentially autobiography,” Allen acknowledges that truth in his memoir.

“The memoir gives a glimpse into what was happening to me behind the scenes while I was engaged in theological and historical research and writing books about what I found. It’s about my own journey, my own need for discovery. Early on,” he says, “I launched out into the wilds of the Christian tradition, trying to find answers to my childhood questions. And I found over the years that a lot of people, who didn’t have time to spend a whole career doing this, had those same kinds of questions.”

Navigating the tension between one particular tradition and the broader Christian tradition is a central theme in Allen’s memoir. Using the metaphor of building a bridge from an island to the mainland, he says, “Much of my work over the last 40 years has been helping people cross the bridge into a bigger Christian world. That larger world can help one better understand one’s own heritage and gain new appreciation for its strengths.” ​​

Raised within a very strict tradition, he found himself compelled to explore a more expansive understanding of the Christian life as he grew older. “When trying to move into a broader outlook on what it means to be a Christian,” he says, “I began to realize that there is a much longer, richer history here than I ever knew.”

Forgiveness emerges as another key theme throughout Allen's narrative, addressing both the act of forgiving others and the need for forgiveness oneself. Through poignant reflections on his relationship with his father and his own church heritage, Allen explores the complexities and blessings of forgiveness.

In his blurb for the book Mike Cope of Pepperdine University says, “This is sad, honest, funny, instructive—brilliant. Masterful, really. The very best of a memoir.”

Allen did not set out to write a memoir and even still has some nervousness about releasing it. “Writing a memoir is a fraught undertaking,” he says. “I was always reluctant to make it public, even down to the point of submitting it to the publisher.

“I started writing some of the stories without a vision for it. I was simply doing it for my daughter, who asked me to write some stories about my life. She gave me a one-year subscription to Storyworth (an online storytelling service) for a birthday gift and so I wanted to honor her request, her gift. She was my first reader.”

“I wrote some episodes about my childhood and my father and my church, and to my unending surprise after a few weeks of practice, I took to the regimen of story writing. The stories began to flow, and a vision and a plan emerged. That’s where my wife Holly became indispensable. She became my second reader, giving me perspective and proportionality.”

As the project grew, Allen sought guidance from a small troupe of writers and friends. One was Dana Chamblee Carpenter , an associate professor who teaches American literature and creative writing at Lipscomb and is author of the popular Bohemian Trilogy. Carpenter describes Allen’s memoir as captivating, with gorgeous writing and an inviting message. “The voice is so strong and the detail so rich,” she says, “that I was pulled into the place and time.” She assisted him with suggestions for strengthening the structure of the memoir.

Through storytelling and reflection, Allen mixes together spiritual pilgrimage, personal experience and theological reflection in a manner that resonates with a broad audience. Many readers, regardless of their background and beliefs, will relate strongly to his story.

“This all began,” he says, “with the big questions from my childhood which took shape in my father’s bookroom beginning about age eight. I can truly say that I have found good answers to those questions. The trouble is that those answers have had an uncanny way of stirring up new questions, and that’s the way it should be, I think, in a God-created world full of wonder and mystery.”
