The Path: Using the Religions of the World as a Guide to Personal and Spiritual Development
Jason E. Marshall is a practicing attorney in Oklahoma, where he lives with his wife and children. Jason holds a B.A. in Political Science, with an emphasis in International Relations and Cultural Studies, as well as a Juris Doctorate. Jason became interested in the study of comparative religion during his undergraduate studies, after undergoing a truly transformational experience during an introductory comparative religion course.
After his initial transformational experience, Jason undertook a personal journey to learn more about the various religions of the world in order to gain a better understanding of the ties that unite humanity, as well as his own true nature, and ultimately God. What began as personal notes from his studies and journeys became the genesis of this book.
Rather than the normal dry recitation of facts that highlight the differences among the world religions, in The Path, Jason explores the seven major religions of the world in order to highlight the ties that should unite, rather divide, humanity. Jason also shows how the teachings and insights from the various world religions can be applied to anyone's journey of personal and spiritual development, regardless of one's particular path or spiritual background.

About the author
Jason E. Marshall
1 book3 followersI grew up in a small town in Oklahoma that was located on the Osage Indian Reservation. I am a practicing attorney in Oklahoma City, OK, and I have a wonderful wife, and two sons.
I have always been interested in religion, and various ways of thinking about religion and God, as well as our individual relationship with God. This naturally led me to study various world religions, mystery/initiatic traditions, and spiritual practices.
What I found is that we each are a creation (child) of God, and religion and practices provide us with ways of not only interacting with God, but connecting with our true-self, our soul, which is the divine spark of life from God.
Instead of focusing on the differences that divide people, my work focuses on the ties that should unite humanity, as well as ways that each of us can further our own unique spiritual path. It is my sincere hope that I provide some Light to those who are pursuing their own spiritual path.

The Path is a great book to explore many of the world's religions. This book really points out how alike we all are and why we all brothers and sisters from God and the importance of loving your fellow man. A great read!
