Long:

Sera Beak is a world-traveled, Harvard-trained scholar of comparative religion who's spent the last dozen years traveling the world exploring spirituality --from whirling with Sufi dervishes to meeting the Dalai Lama on her 21st birthday; from taking the host from a Croatian Catholic mystic who had the stigmata (truly) to having life-altering visions with a shaman, and just about everything in between (she now happily deems herself a “spiritual cowgirl"). The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach To Igniting Your Divine Spark  is her first book. She has also written for the Let’s Go Travel Guide series, Bootyparlor.com and Beliefnet.com. She’s as comfortable talking about Muslim women in Iraq, the pagan history of religious traditions, and the extreme need for religious tolerance in this day and age, as she is about designer jeans, vibrators, and the latest celebrity breakup. Sera is called “a woman who is hands down the freshest, boldest breath of fresh air spirituality has heard, read or seen in decades” by Maureen Moss, author, motivational speaker, and radio host of worldpuja.org

Short:

Sera Beak is a world-traveled Harvard-trained scholar of comparative religion and an intrepid “spiritual cowgirl.” Her first book, The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach to Igniting Your Divine Spark, is aimed at jaded, yet still spiritually curious young women, although the material speaks to all ages and genders. She calls the book a “firestarter.” Sera is called “a woman who is hands down the freshest, boldest breath of fresh air spirituality has heard, read or seen in decades” by Maureen Moss, author, motivational speaker, and radio host of worldpuja.org
