An Inward Journey!! Jul 18, 2009
This book will capture young hearts and take them on a spiritual journey. Throughout the book one gets the feeling of reflecting into one's inner self. Would love to see this book transported to Hollywood....what a spectacular movie it would make!! My sincere prayers and wishes for success to Irving Karchmar!
 Pleasantly digestible way to take in some heavy duty stuff! Jun 08, 2009
I really enjoyed this book. It is the first time I read a sufi novel and it is a great counter point to all the very scholarly and/or very mystical books on the subject that aren't always easy to integrate. I recommend this book for anyone who has in interest in sufism.
Deeply profound May 15, 2009
As I was contemplating a draw to the Sufi Way, my friend and brother, Irving Karchmar's Master of the Jinn presented myself. It's rich intertwining of Sufi and Jewish sources touched my soul. With a wonderful twist, it grabbed me and nourished me.
While I belong to a different Order of Sufis, this book helped awaken the courage to answer the call and be who I really am. It is about ONENESS in the Supreme Reality, many call God, alhamdulillah!
A fun and profound read! May 14, 2009
This book is a very deep, yet accessibly fun read. It shows a student or 'murid' relationship with a shaykh and the inner workings traditional Sufi order (tariqah). The story is somewhat Davinci Code like mystery adventure (for lack of a better analogy) tying in elements of Islamic Sufism, and Western esoteric mystery traditions. It's one of those books in which you get lost in the easy to imagine world painted so masterfully by the author. And it is so much more than just a story as it is written with a sort of mystical poetic language which is the trademark of the Sufi masters. A must read - you won't be disappointed!

A journey on the path of the Heart! Nov 07, 2007
I rarely read fiction, and have never been this excited about a novel
before. If anyone is up to a beautiful and wonderful tale of Magick,
mystics and evocation my friend Irving has written such a masterpiece
"Master of the Jinn!" (Jinn is the root of the word Genie.) It is a
modern Sufi novel that will take you on a journey through the mystical
lands of the Arabian Nights.
Follow the pilgrims of the Soul on a spiritual quest of the path of
the heart, initiated by their master to find The True Temple of
Solomon, and unlock the greatest treasure ever known, (or unknown.)
This book has everything, mystery, visions, Magick, strange dreams, a lost city, bandits, Jinn, memories of the heart, other worldy storms, and so much more.
The insights are incredible! The universal message of Sufi speaks to
all people of all religions of all places in all times. Sufi way is to
Islam as Kabbalah is to Judaism, the esoteric insight of the deeper
truth belonging to no religion. The Pagan* way of the middle east, with
universal teachings and insights that reach across the worlds showing
the One and Only who is not defined by doctrine, dogma or man, but
revealed only in the heart of the seeker.
(* NB- I use "Pagan" in the Pythagorean sense, according to M. P. Hall, "Pythagoras was pagan because he was initiated into 14 of the worlds great mystery traditions, he refused to allow dogma or doctrine define what the divine may or may not be.")
I could not put this down!
Salaam and Shalom! Blessings and peace too all beings, especially those who are suffering and in need of mercy!
