A Daily Rate (Grace Livingston Hill Classic Ser. #4)
by Grace HillCelia Murray was unhappy living in a drab, dirty boardinghouse with other “homeless" people. The food was poorly cooked and tasteless, the rooms dark and drafty. But she could afford nothing better. After inheriting an abundant yearly allowance, Celia and her Aunt Hannah were able to take over the boardinghouse, and they immediately began making improvements--both material and spiritual. These two godly women, assisted by Horace Stafford, a young minister, taught the boarders about Christ's love--a love that brought them together as a "family." As Celia became involved in the lives of her boarders, she knew she was falling in love with the kindhearted pastor. But she soon realized this feeling could never be returned. Distressed, Celia sought comfort from the Lord, but her troubled spirit gave her no peace. She had learned to trust Cod daily as she saw Him work in the lives around her--but could she trust Him in the matter of her own heart? She loved a man who cherished another woman. Celia Murray, an impoverished, beautiful young woman--orphaned at an early age--found the desires of her prayerful heart answered by an unexpected inheritance. Now she was able to provide for her beloved Aunt Hannah and change her oppressive life-style in a dreary Philadelphia boardinghouse. One night an educated young man, Horace Stafford, came to rent a room. Celia was attracted to him, but was sure he loved another. Didn't he treasure the locket that contained a picture of a young woman? Ashamed and angry with herself, Celia fought her growing affection, but Horace's strong faith and good works stirred her heart. Was Celia's love for this man of God never to be fulfilled?

A Dakini's Counsel: Sera Khandro's Spiritual Advice and Dzogchen Instructions
by Sera KhandroTranslated here for the first time, a collection of heartfelt and intimate advice for Buddhist practice from the modern female Buddhist teacher Sera Khandro Dewai Dorje (1892–1940), revealing her firsthand experiences as a mother, wife, consort, and spiritual teacher of the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.Sera Khandro Dewai Dorje was a rare example of a well-known Tibetan woman renowned as a teacher in the modern era. While there are many notable female figures in Tibetan Buddhist history, very few left a collection of poetic, autobiographical, and devotional writings as extensive as Dewai Dorje. Both biographical and instructional, this is a collection of advice, prayers, dreams, prophecies, and treasures (terma) from within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen, a Buddhist practice on resting in the nature of mind. Typically seen as high level practices, these Dzogchen and other instructions are presented in Dewai Dorje&’s highly personal and accessible voice. This collection of practice instructions is a window into the inner experience of a beautiful woman in love who single-pointedly pursued a life of Dharma. Born to a wealthy and powerful father in Lhasa, she left home and became a dedicated Dharma practitioner living as an unaccompanied female in the wilds of eastern Tibet in the early 1900s. She became a wife, mother, and then consort and wrote of both highly spiritual and highly personal experiences, from spiritual realization to grief.

A Daughter Of Han: The Autobiography Of A Chinese Working Woman
by Ida Pruitt Ning Lao T'ai-t'aiWithin the common destiny is the individual destiny. So it is that through the telling of one Chinese peasant woman's life, a vivid vision of Chinese history and culture is illuminated. Over the course of two years, Ida Pruitt--a bicultural social worker, writer, and contributor to Sino-American understanding--visited with Ning Lao T'ai-ta'i, three times a week for breakfast. These meetings, originally intended to elucidate for Pruitt traditional Chinese family customs of which Lao T'ai-t'ai possessed some insight, became the foundation for an enduring friendship.As Lao T'ai-t'ai described the cultural customs of her family, and of the broader community of which they were a part, she invoked episodes from her own personal history to illustrate these customs, until eventually the whole of her life lay open before her new confidante. Pruitt documented this story, casting light not only onto Lao T'ai-t'ai's own biography, but onto the character of life for the common man of China, writ large. The final product is a portrayal of China that is "vividly and humanly revealed.""This is surely the warmest, most human document that has ever come out of China....The report of her life and labors has the lasting symbolic quality of literature."--The American Journal of Sociology"No recent book has better portrayed the common man in China....This short autobiography is right in description of Chinese Social customs....In writing this book, Ida Pruitt has rendered a great service to the Chinese people...She has written a personal story through which the spirit of the common people of China is vividly and humanly revealed."--Pacific Affairs"This book opens a window into the Chinese world. Although the story is of one Chinese woman, the events of her life reach out into the experiences of many other people. They are a part of that wider social and imaginary world from which the Chinese draw meaning to their life."--The Far Eastern Quarterly
