Synopsis

Addressed to a Western audience, Love is the Wine presents an intoxicating mix of essays to satisfy those with long experience in Islam as well as those encountering Sufism and the meaning of spiritual love for the first time. Themes including generosity, faith, self-knowledge, submission, and love are developed with stories and teachings by Turkish Sufi master Sheikh Muzaffer Ozak. A mesmerizing storyteller, master teacher, and respected author in his native country, he was ideally suited to communicate the richness of the Sufi tradition to seekers in the West. The chapters of this book, skillfully edited and compiled by the psychologist and Sufi teacher Dr. Robert Frager, were derived from talks given during Sheikh Muzafffers visits to New York and California over the last years of his life. The teachings and stories collected in this book are uniqueneither scholarly treatises nor simply a collection of stories reflecting an ancient religious and cultural tradition. In some areas, such as the chapter on dreams, the author elaborates the subject in great detail, revealing information about the spiritual significance of dreams that has rarely been heard or read elsewhere. Sheikh Muzaffer Ozak was the head of the Halveti-Jerrahi Order, a 300-year-old branch of one of the great Sufi orders. Having made over 20 trips to Europe and the U. S. he understood Westerners as almost no Sufi master before him has. His religious bookshop in Istanbul attracted hundreds of Western seekers visiting Turkey.
