The Wizard of Oz As a Parable
PUT YOURSELF IN DOROTHY'S SHOES. Can "The Wizard of Oz" story be used as an allegory of the spiritual path with enough depth and universality to embody core spiritual truths common to all faiths? This book says "yes " The author invents the concept of the "spiritual monomyth" and builds one on a story that is not offensive to any religion and therefore can serve all of them. The result is a journey of finding common ground and mutual understanding so desperately needed in the world today. And that journey is a journey you take within yourself.
