Rainbow Books, Inc., 2012

Winner of both the New Age and Visionary categories of the 2012 International Book Awards competition. The Lhasa Trilogy is debut, character-driven, New Age historical fiction. Set in rural Oklahoma, Iwo Jima, Japan, Tibet and India. On a frigid night at Tibet's Drepung Monastery, Lama Tenzin Tashi is awakened by a fervent knocking on his door. Quickly he realizes these raps are a dreaded harbinger, one which will launch him on a quest to satisfy a vow, a blasphemous promise he wishes he had never made. But at this point, the lama has no other choice. The journey must be undertaken, no matter the cost. Thus begins an odyssey that spans not only his life, but also the life of a man born near the small town of Davidson, Oklahoma. Who could comprehend how inexplicably intertwined their pathways would become as they pushed aside the veil that concealed the hidden secrets of death? It is a wonder filled book and worth the read!” —D. Franklin Schultz, author of A Language of the Heart “Gary Conrad’s novel tells the fascinating story of the spiritual journey of Matthew Walker Johnson through war and peace, love and death, despair and enlightenment. The book is also a masterful introduction to the tenets of Tibetan Buddhism, using Buddhist teachings to weave together three lives in one of the most innovative plots I have ever encountered. The emotionality of the book touched me deeply.” —Richard S. Ellis, author of Blinding Pain, Simple Truth “Drawing on ancient wisdom, The Lhasa Trilogy is a rich, layered tale that takes us on an intriguing adventure. Brilliant and insightful.” —Joan Korenblit, Respect Diversity Foundation “Gary Conrad has written an imaginative and profoundly wise book. The reader’s reward is a feast for both the head and the heart. Enjoy!” —Dr. Robin R. Meyers, author of Saving Jesus from the Church “Gary Conrad’s The Lhasa Trilogy is a fantastic summer read. The refreshingly original storyline crosses over lifetimes and religions to weave a beautiful story of human redemption and responsibility. Presented in three acts, The Lhasa Trilogy, shines light on an all-American boy’s journey from youth to a tragedy in mid-life that shapes his destiny. From the heart of America to the mystical depths of Tibet and beyond, The Lhasa Trilogy delivers an exciting and unique journey. A highly recommended read!” —USA Book News
