All That Is Al McDermid

In simple, unassuming, and beautiful language, All That Is employs the ancient wisdom and essential spirit of the Tao Te Ching, and creates a modern guide for those interested in spiritually enriching their lives. Toward this end, it incorporates ideas found in a wide range of sources: the Bible, the teachings of Buddha, the writing of the Baha'i Faith, the stoic philosophers, and self-help writer James Allen. Seeded by various translations of the Tao Te Ching, All That Is was written as an open and current interpretation. From this approach came the phrase "All That Is," which represents "the Tao" (the Way, the universe, God) of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.
