Summons to Life

The Search for Identity Through the Spiritual


by

MARTIN ISRAEL, M.B.


To what does the heart vibrate . . . Money or Meaning?
What is the Spirit of Man?
How is it experienced?
How do I find my true self, my soul?
What is Reality?

It is to these and similar profound questions, Dr. Martin Israel, pathologist, mystic, spiritual guide, turns in this unique book. Life, says Dr. Israel, in its real, ultimate sense, can be found through awareness of the spiritual. It is with the Spirit of man, and what it is and how it works, that this book deals. It is about the quest for true identity, the discovery of the true self, the soul.

Summons to life is a profound, in-depth analysis of the spiritual dimension that will thrill the younger seeker and revitalise the older struggler. It is by a writer who combines professional medical training with skills in psychology, theology and sociology, but who is able to relate all the disciplines to each other and to the wider spiritual dimension, and so produce a total perspective of prophetic importance.
