The Theft of the Spirit is filled with remarkable stories about spiritual connections. Dr. Hammerschlag shows how to journey past fear and illusion to a new strength of spirit and self. Whether he is telling the story of how the Hopi Indians lost their cultural center when they lost their sacred religious objects, or how brave men and women have faced incredible odds--mental, physical, or emotional--The Theft of the Spirit is compelling and moving reading.

"This book is a treasure. It is about life in all its

darkness and illumination. Carl tells us all we
