Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit

Three people in one week told me to read this book, and then days later I saw it spray painted on the back of a sign as I crossed the boardwalk returning from the beach. Obviously, the signs were pointing me toward this book, and I’m so thankful they did. Unlike anything I have ever read, this novel will make you question the path humankind is on and what it means for this planet. When a man answers an ad in the paper (“seeking student, must want to save the world”), he finds himself facing an unusual teacher: a gorilla named Ishmael. Get ready to dive deep with Ishmael and examine topics that never occurred to you before.
