Helena`s Voyage – A mystic adventure cover

A sick girl named Helena is taken by an angel on an ancient sailing boat far away over the waves. Their destination: three cities that glow as if blessed of God - one Jewish, one Christian, one Muslim. Helena comes to realize that all these people believe the same divine law - to love God and their fellow man. Saying goodbye to the angel, and returning to her bedroom, she looks at the three gifts; they have become a single gleaming gold disk. On one side are these words: 'One god, many voices, one people'. On the other side, a glimpse of heaven. Text is provided in English, Arabic and Hebrew.

This is a little simple story which can help children to be more loving and open to those who are different. Jean Vanier, Founder of L'Arche, bestselling authorWill be effective in educating the young to love God and their neighbors not only in the context of their own religion but of all the religions which God has revealed to humanity. Dr Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Professor of Islamic Studies, George Washington University, author of The Heart of IslamA beautiful little book, utterly charming in its simplicity. Rabbi Harold Kushner, Author of When Bad Things Happen to Good PeopleThis charming story is disarming in its simple but powerful message: to see our world through the eyes of both an angel and a child. I recommend its perusal by everyone. The llustrations have a charm and innocence to captivate our hearts. Fr Thomas Francis, Author of Angels: Our Guides to Contemplation
