A MONK’S WAY

By Clark Eide

A NOVEL JOURNEY INTO SPIRITUAL AWARENESS

“…A superb achievement, full of practical wisdom, and, a good read.” – Tessa Cason/Spiritual Coach, Teacher and noted author on EFT

“…This book describes a unique contemplative journey in rich prose.  Clark Eide weaves a fascinating tale about the spiritual path and waking up to Presence in our lives.” – Michael R. McVay MD/retired Cardiologist & Practitioner, Teacher – Mindfulness Meditation

Los Angeles, CA/January 4, 2016 – American author and singer Clark Eide has launched his debut novel “A Monk’s Way: The Journey to Awareness,” detailing the remarkable quest of a modern monk named Jean Moreau and his journey toward spiritual awareness.

This gripping yet contemplative narrative is set in the fictitious Abbey of Kervennec, France where Father Jean Moreau is facing an existential crisis with his obsession over a woman, inevitably leading to a struggle with both his God and a power-hungry rival.

Written as a parable for modern day life, “A Monk’s Way” is both a captivating novel, richly descriptive of life in an abbey, and a compelling guide to discovering a direct relationship with the divinity within. As Moreau traces his own path to purposeful wholeness, readers will also find ways to reflect on how to establish their own connection to their higher spiritual power. Within this duality is the parallel between the material and spiritual realms, providing each reader with applicable meditations and guiding instructions.

Themes throughout “A Monk’s Way” include:

• The epiphany one has after a wrong doing and taking the steps to make it right
• The soul’s journey to wholeness
• Finding the path of Awareness
• A personal connection to a higher spirit and the Universe

“I wrote the book over the course of four years. And in my own humble journey, I discovered that people are hungry – hungry for meaning and fulfillment in life,” says Eide.  “What satisfies that hunger are not ‘things’. What satisfies is more subtle, waiting to be discovered. It is the spiritual dimension of life. Most have followed the traditional religious path to spirit yet therein lies the issue of an over reliance on traditional religion as their only reference to provide answers. But these are often complicated and inadequate, rarely allowing room for one to pursue that connection individually. I wanted to give people ways to achieve this framed within the context of a character’s personal experience, even one at the heart of a traditional religion’s institution.”

Insightful and at times enlightening, “A Monk’s Way,” posits an alternative to blindly following the conventional dogma of organized religion and presents readers with the tools to ultimately cultivate a more meaningful relationship with a higher power.

“A Monk’s Way” is available from Amazon.com for $12.95 print and $6.95 digital.  In addition, readers can also enjoy the companion book, “Ecstatic Prayers of Jean Moreau” available digitally for $2.99 and $5.95 in paperback.
