Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Mark Johnson wrote a short but very interesting account of his spiritual journey, especially of interest to me was his Daoist stories and principles.
I could go on and on in this review highlighting key things Mark talks about in the book. But I think, the reader will discover whatever he/she needs to find. One of his last chapters, Playing with Enlightenment, is an extremely clear analysis of this whole question of What is Enlightenment? Mark does a great job in what many others are clueness about, "Just be authentic about who you think you are ..." pg.122
I highly recommend this real account of a living Daoist Teacher.

Life is Divine Play is a memoir that shares one man's forty-year spiritual journey that began in the Eastern United States and ultimately led him to the Orient where he met his principle Daoist master and teacher.
Mark Johnson begins his inspiring life story with details of his humble beginnings, growing up in a middle-class family in a small coal-mining town in Pennsylvania. He continues with his psychic and spiritual development in a Hindu ashram in Florida during the 1960s. After meditating with a famous Zen Buddhist in California, Johnson provides insight into his training with a powerful Daoist/Wizard in Taiwan and later in the wild and dangerous hills of Malibu, California. He, like so many of his generation, found his richest spiritual inspiration in Eastern philosophy and not only reveals the profound and valuable concepts he learned from his mentors, he includes ways to apply his insights to everyday life situations in a humorous and playful manner.
As Johnson shares the details from his incredible lifelong odyssey, he inspires and encourages others to seek a life of play where they too might find the same peace that he once sought and eventually found.
