Signposts Along the Way is a collection of essays meant to encourage those who seek to "touch the Spirit within their soul's innermost." It offers pointers--signposts--that help these seekers stay steadfast on their path towards inner awakening and avoid missteps.

As in his other books, BYR emphasizes the importance of inner experience versus thought or belief. He counsels us to pursue spiritual experience in a calm and clear headed manner, avoiding the allure of ecstatic or other extreme emotional states. Here he also introduces other themes: the beauty of appreciating things we may take for granted, such as the energies transmitted through the written word; the nature of healing power and what makes someone a true healer; the need to avoid the trap of idealizing others on the one hand, or of criticizing them mindlessly on the other; and the harm that comes from assuming one is qualified to impart spiritual wisdom to others when one may not be truly ready.

This book also includes 22 poems that echo the themes of the prose.
