A Way of Life
False ways litter the world. Even the great religions have become prisoners of colonial frameworks or of a selfishness that betrays their essence. As a result, our planet faces climate catastrophes, nuclear holocausts, and internet surveillance that makes us prisoners of unseen predators. There is a Way, however, whose time has come. It is ingrained in the psyche of humanity. It resonates with Perennial Wisdom, with Chinese who understand it as Tao, with the Buddhist Eightfold Path, the Five Pillars of Islam, indigenous peoples whose insights have been summarised as The Harmony Way, and above all with Jesus who declared 'I AM the Way' (John 14:6) and whose first disciples were known as 'followers of The Way', based on Jesus' Beatitudes (Matthew 5-7). Whereas traditional monasticism restricted its vows to celibates cut off from the world, new Monasticism makes vows rooted in the Beatitudes accessible to everyone. One reason Benedictinism survived through the second millennium is because its founder wrote a detailed commentary on its rule. Here the founding guardian of a new monastic community writes a commentary on its Way of Life which he has reflected on daily for over a generation - and which promises to flourish through the third millennium.
How Tahajjud Saved My Life
Empty? Lonely? Heartbroken?What if I told you there was one solution that could completely transform your life, would you believe me?As an individual who has suffered multiple traumas and struggles from a young age up until now, I am finally living in a place of contentment within my once, very troubled mind.When I started praying tahajjud March 2023, I really had no idea that embarking upon this journey was going to heal my deepest, most painful wounds.My Lord picked up my tired soul with His grace in the midst of the night and I knew then, that Allah was all I had ever needed."Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs (for us)." Qur'aan, Surah Al 'Imran {3:173}"I'm in awe. It is a beautiful and humble read.""Saba presented Islam in a beautiful light as it should always be presented. She's done it great justice.""Instead of turning the book all about herself, Saba kept the focus on tahajjud and the qadr of Allah.""This book didn't focus on the punishment e.g not praying etc, the author beautifully portrayed Allah's mercy and the love He has for us.""A very relatable struggle that bared the fruits of sabr which shows us success is possible for us all, if we follow the correct path...""A comprehensive guide to a prayer which is beautifully simplified for us all to benefit from."

The Amen Effect
The national bestseller From one of our country's most prominent rabbis, an inspiring book about the power of community based on one of her most impactful sermons. In a time of loneliness and isolation, social rupture and alienation, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our society? Sharon Brous--a leading American rabbi--makes the case that the spiritual work of our time, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural, is to find our way to one other in celebration, in sorrow, and in solidarity. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain, vulnerability and possibility, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care. Brous contends that it is through honoring our most basic human instinct-- the yearning for real connection-- that we reawaken our shared humanity and begin to heal. This kind of sacred presence is captured by the word amen, a powerful ancient idea that we affirm the fullness of one another's experience by demonstrating, in body and word: "I see you. You are not alone." An acclaimed preacher and story-teller, Brous pairs heart-driven anecdotes from her experience building and pastoring to a leading-edge faith community over the past two decades with ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary science. The result is a clarion call: the sense of belonging engendered by our genuine presence is not only a social and biological need, but a moral and spiritual necessity. With original insights and practical tools, The Amen Effect translates foundational ideas into simple practices that connect us to our better angels, offering a blueprint for a more meaningful life and a more connected and caring world.
Creative Meditation and Multi-Dimensional Consciousness
Fulfill Your Potential Through Meditation"I have been a citizen of two worlds, nourished from the great traditions of Western culture in my early youth, and sustained by the ancient and sacred traditions of the East, where I spent the greater part of my life.It is hoped that this book will be a bridge between these two worlds, not as a manual or a mere source of information, but an incentive for others to cross the bridge in both directions."-Lama Govinda, from the book's PrefaceFrom acclaimed interpreter of Tibetan mysticism Lama Anagarika Govinda comes Creative Meditation and Multi-Dimensional Consciousness, the essential guide to traditional Buddhist meditative philosophy.

The Secret of Love
"All of the Torah - ethics, mitzvot, learning, and practice -come to remove the obstacles that prevent an all-encompassing love from expanding and spreading to every corner of life, everywhere."-Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen KookThis is a book about love, about how to become a more loving human being. How to love ourselves, our families, our communities, other human beings and every cell of creation - more. It has been inspired by the writings of the contemporary mystic, Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook. According to Rav Kook, love flows from our souls. Love brings oneness into the world.

Ordinary Mysticism
"This gorgeous, transformative, welcoming book is for anyone who longs to feel more present, more alive, more joyful and aware of the holiness of daily life."--Anne Lamott, author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, WowWelcome to the temple of your regular life.So begins beloved spiritual guide Mirabai Starr's stunning exploration of finding the extraordinary in the everyday. In Ordinary Mysticism, she helps readers discover their own inner mystic and let go of the limiting belief that spiritual life exists only in traditional places of worship. Mysticism, she explains, is a direct experience of the sacred--no church or clergy required. Our everyday life can be an encounter with the sacred if we pay attention. Starr explores the magic of mundane life, from weeding in our humble gardens to a slow evening walk with a friend to a full kitchen table surrounded by family. Embracing mysticism in our everyday is a way of being more alive in the world, an awakening to the interconnectedness between all things. You can visit an ashram in the Himalayas or kneel in a church pew to connect to the spirit or examine life's big questions--but these aren't the only opportunities to discover the sacred. Life, Starr reminds us, is holy ground. Lyrical and tender, filled with profound wisdom and mind-opening insights, Ordinary Mysticism is about finding wonder in regular life, grounded in lessons from spiritual teachers across the centuries--from Julian of Norwich to Ram Dass. Starr combines their ancient wisdom with the story of her own personal and spiritual journey--from surviving the heartbreak of her fourteen-year-old daughter's death to growing up amid the 1960s counterculture that introduced her to mysticism to her self-made spiritual practice of today. Alongside storytelling and age-old teachings, Starr offers practices and writing prompts for help our souls seek holy ground.When you decide to walk the path of the mystic, the mundane shows up as miraculous, the boring becomes fascinating, and your own shortcomings turn out to be your greatest gifts. May we all find meaning and wonder in our most ordinary moments.

Empty Souls Living Beyond Your Grave
RIP. Rest in peace. Why is it that when a loved one passes away, the family and friends say, "Rest in peace?" Are the dead really in peace? The dead know nothing, so how could that person be in peace? So, what is the truth behind this saying? God makes it clear in His word where people go after they die. Is there such a thing as life after death, or is death the end of life? People have different opinions about this. People need to know the truth about where they will spend eternity when they die, and not just someone's opinion except the fact that no one wants to know the truth, and if they did know the truth, they would not tell the deceased person's family that their deceased loved one is spending eternity in hell and being tormented daily. Imagine this: You are at your loved one's funeral, and you say, "Rest in peace," and then someone says to you, "Why are you saying that? This person lived a life of wickedness, cheating, hurting people, lying to people, and stealing from people, and you say, 'Rest in peace.' Why should that person be in peace? What did they do to deserve peace? That person is going to hell, and in hell, there is no peace." Is this something you want to hear at a funeral? Too many people are being deceived by this saying only because it helps those who are hurting to clear their minds. Yes, granted, that person's body is dead, but are they dead? Or are they living beyond their grave? The spirit is very much alive. So once again, is that person resting in peace, or how would a person even know? What about you? Where would you spend eternity if you were to die right now? Read this book and find out. All knowledge of this book has been inspired by God and is backed up by the word of God in it.

Wake Up Call
I'm what you might call a regular guy. For virtually all of my adult life, I've worked a nine-to-five job in an office. Yet, like many of you, I've been on a spiritual quest since I was in my twenties. Wondering if there might be more to life than the daily cycle of work-home-sleep-repeat, I began reading voraciously--everything from books on Buddhism, Hinduism, and the Jesus teachings I grew up on, to the latest spirituality bestsellers, self-help columns, and human-interest stories in my local newspaper. Eventually, I came to this realization: for me, true wisdom is not found in a single magical book or a particular religion or one enlightened spiritual teacher. Wisdom comes from many sources. Wake Up Call is a compendium of commentaries I've written over the years inspired by this unending spiritual quest. I hope this book inspires you on your quest, wherever it may lead.

Creation Spirituality
A Systemic Theology sounds like a work that will close debate, shut down questions, and attempt to sit conclusively on a shelf. In this novel undertaking, the author has borrowed that classical form and danced around it with a wonderfully accessible exploration of Creation Spirituality. Kuykendall's tone is personal and invitingly conversational, and will lead the reader to want to further explore, to read broadly, and of course - true to the Creation Spirituality tradition - get oneself off the bookshelves and into the messy, inspiring, and beautiful gift that is existence. With scholarship and storytelling, the author entices Christians familiar with restrictive theological categories the chance to recognize the authenticity of the Creation Spirituality tradition, and to embrace a spiritual life that is vibrantly here-now and this-worldy. To those new or familiar with the tradition, Kuykendall's Systematic Theology excels as both a primer and reference companion. - Matthew Henry

Reform Your Reality Reform Your Life
This book describes an awesome awareness and wisdom about getting to know yourself in ways that may propel you to a more meaningful life starting with your definition of reality. The book characterizes an awareness of an adjustment within oneself to the environmental dictates in a fashion that releases incomparable satisfaction of instinctual needs. It's points to clarity of interpretation about everything. Namely, it conveys that infinite consciousness changes reality about everything and ultimately reforms human being emotions, feelings, well-being, and success. With an emphasis placed of reforming your life being the work of adjustment to reality, the book drives home the notion of being the Creator's breath contained in a body. Thus, it explains that in order for the Creator's likeness to be duplicated, the suggestion consistent with reality is that it has been placed within human being form to produce likeness of its kind and that human being is the potential of creativity. It highly embraces liberated actions for experiencing life freely, responsibly, and intentionally while at the same time letting your meaning of life emerge from the vast experiences that make it. With this in mind, the book shares insights about reforming reality to see beyond the resistance of knowing oneself to a grander degree by understanding how to develop yourself to reach total awareness of those things occurring in your life. Sections of the book bring to the front a brand new way of reconstructing your reality using the power of shift in consciousness to experience desired results. Ultimately, the reality of the book is an understanding of how to become insightful about transforming your life.

Religions, Spirituality, and Humanity
Religion, a set of organized beliefs, practices, and systems that relate to the worship of a controlling force, plays a crucial role in contemporary society. True doctrines of each religion lead us to become spiritual in nature which, in turn, propels us towards promoting the well-being of humanity. Therefore, integrating religion, spirituality, and humanity can cultivate and promote a focus on living consciously, harmoniously, and righteously. Shawn Paul blends science, social science, and spiritual science into a format of practical living based on human ideals and values to present a well-balanced view of each major religion. He not only examines the limitations of organized religious practices, but also highlights the true doctrines of each faith and their significance in human lives. While logically critiquing traditional religious practices, their significance and limitations, and the way they impact society, Paul also summarizes major themes and corresponding holy verses while encouraging compassion, peace, and love through spiritual consciousness and service to humanity. Religions, Spirituality, and Humanity shares a comprehensive examination of organized religious practices and their significance that inspires a harmonious life of personal fulfillment focused on contributing to the greater good and a peaceful coexistence.

It operates through honoring attitudes, words and actions and gives respect, dignity and value to those we deal with daily.God's trumpet is sounding! It's time to take " the mountain " and raise the flag of honor. It is the high call of God for every man.Join me on a journey to discover a way of life that could change the world as we know it.

Locked in, Locked Out by a Strand of Hair and More
This book illuminates the destruction of life in every area which stems from the lack of knowledge. A hair stylist writes about her observations of the damages of curly hair types and the conversations of those in and around her chair. Using the losses of tightly waved hair, due to the destruction of its S bonds, the mechanisms that hold it together, in a parable, she shows the illusion of misguided information and the suffering it causes to those who follow. Her conclusion is that all destruction stems from the lack of knowledge; which is the human's sustenance for the mind; that teaches sound doctrines of truth. This absence of truth affects the young and becomes the adult behavior. Because of such deteriorated behaviors, the wrong information feeds into society bringing much tarnish to the soul of humanity. This situation has caused many to ask: What is going on? Seeing such sadness has caused the stylist to seek answers for both, only to discover that there is a detachment from fundamental values of the Holy Scriptures. These principles were designed to be the fabric of society. They will keep all things together for peace among all who care to listen. The stylist quickly concluded again that the healing balm is within those pages of knowledge. It is in the transforming of the mind that these problems will be solved, and it is there all must return to recapture what is missing and so yearningly desired.

Naturally Miraculous
Can Christianity experience a twenty-first-century renaissance? Can it again serve as a welcoming home for authentic Truth seekers who aspire to genuine spiritual and mystical experience? Naturally Miraculous describes the path of bringing this long-sought objective into being. First, it contains a strong refutation of today's sectarian, orthodox Christianity and argues for a return to what Christianity originally was before the rise of Roman Catholicism, when it was the more mystical, Universalist religion Jesus intended it to be. Second, it examines mysticism and cosmic consciousness from the theological, philosophical, and psychological perspectives and how it has been a part of humanity's spiritual quest and religious cultures, particularly Christianity, throughout history. It ultimately describes a new way of being Christian, a way in which we are to follow the example of Jesus and take the path he describes to the kingdom of God, which is the attainment of Christ consciousness or mystical realization. In Naturally Miraculous, we see how achieving the consciousness of Christ has been humanity's ultimate purpose all along.

The Best Fruit
The Best Fruit is about how high emotional intelligence augments what the Christian Bible calls the fruit of the spirit. The goal of this book is to highlight how increasing one's emotional intelligence actually augments the work of God in the individual. The author emphasizes character traits and mental habits that can lead to successful living, greater leadership ability, and relationship building as they relate to the fruit of the spirit. Christians believe that God, the Holy Spirit, is at work to cultivate behavior and characteristics that are pleasing to God and that add not only to the individual's quality of life but to their community engagement. The text gives several examples, from the author's life experience, from history, and from the Bible, of how emotions can highjack a person's cognitive ability. Yet this book also extolls the virtues of high emotional intelligence and gives examples of its effect on a person's ability to successfully navigate life's challenges. The author concludes with suggestions and resources to start increasing emotional intelligence.
