NOMINATED FOR THE 2006 EVVY AWARD
February 2006, Denver, Colorado
“Have you ever had a broken heart? Have you ever felt abandoned, rejected or deserted? Have you ever been hurt physically, emotionally or spiritually? Have you ever wanted to just give up? If so, I think you will find that you and I are not too different, and you might find comfort in this story.” — Author Tony Kent
In the early 1990’s, acclaimed fashion photographer Tony Kent was a man who had it all—a great marriage, four healthy children, a beautiful home and a job he loved. Then his world collapsed. After twenty years of marriage, his wife announced she was leaving him for another man. Kent’s heart was shattered and he plunged into a state of total despair. He sought help from all corners— clergy, therapists, shamans, and psychics -- but to no avail. Then came an extraordinary trip to Jerusalem, where he was led to a “hidden teacher”, a Sufi holy man known to his students as “Sidi.”It was through this teacher’s guidance of the Sufism Religion that Kent’s life was inexorably changed and the process of healing his heart began.
In My Journey to Know the Truth, author Tony Kent takes us with him on his spiritual Sufism Religion journey, revealing the beauty and healing power of the teachings of Sufism, which he calls “the essence of the true Islam” -- teachings of peace, love and compassion. This first-person account of a man who found unbounded love and lasting peace in a religion that is so misunderstood, is much needed in today’s world.
“Before I met my Islam Sufism spiritual teacher, I thought I had everything a man could want,” says Kent. “But then my life fell apart and I saw that what I thought was happiness had been an illusion. I wrote this book because I believe that in sharing my story, it will help others discover a way of experiencing life that could open up a whole new world of possibilities for them.” In My Journey to Know the Truth, readers learn about how they too, can reach the deepest level of unconditional love in their lives and realize their full potential.
As a world-renowned fashion photographer, Tony Kent’s photos have adorned the covers of Vogue, Elle, and Rolling Stone. Today, he is a highly acclaimed network marketer, who teaches others how to increase their wealth and flexibility through building home-based businesses. Kent’s first published work, Walking in Awareness, is about personal growth through network marketing. He also runs a non-profit organization which supports his teacher Sidi and his message and travels throughout the United States with him every summer, as Sidi guides seekers everywhere to a deeper awareness and fuller expression of the Divine.
