The Way of the World: Readings in Chinese Philosophy
by Thomas ClearyThe dynamic relationship between the individual and society has been a central concern of Taoism from its ancient beginnings--which is perhaps why certain Taoist classics, like Sun Tzu's Art of War, are so often consulted these days for leadership advice. This anthology presents a wide range of texts revealing the processes of integrating personal spirituality with social responsibility central to Taoist tradition across the centuries and throughout the schools. There are a wealth of approaches to life in the world presented here, but at the heart of each is an understanding that even a mystic must be socially responsible and that self-cultivation is primary preparation for anyone called to lead.
The Way of the Wound: A Spirituality of Trauma and Transformation
by Robert Grant<p>Countless victims of childhood abuse, domestic violence, violent crime, rape, war, life-threatening illness and natural disaster struggle with the impact of their injuries. Former ways of making sense have been injured or destroyed. The lives of many are without meaning or direct. Unless helped to integrate the significance of their traumatic wounds into more comprehensive approaches to self, life and God victims run the risk of addiction, wasted potential, numerous psychological and physical problems, as well as commitments to distorted spiritualities. Victims of trauma are asked to embark on a path of healing that mystics, shamans and mythic heroes have been walking for thousands of years. The only difference is that the path is contemporary and, therefore, potentially more conscious. Trauma provides a modern access to this spiritual path and can initiate powerful experiences of conversion. If properly supported and accompanied trauma has the power to transform all facets of reality. <p><i>The Way of the Wound</i> lays out a path of healing, along with the central issues that survivors encounter at every crucial point along the way. This work offers direction to every victim of trauma wanting to move to the next level of healing. </p>

The Way to Eternal Life
by Brother Francis Wagner Father Donald WalpoleThe way to Eternal Life is through the Cross, and to be effective, it requires our cooperation--the loving gift of self in response to God's love for us. God's desire to involve us in his merciful act of redemption. This book is intended to be an extended meditation on that mystery. It is not a devotional guide on the Stations of the Cross in the traditional sense--though it can certainly be used as such. Rather, each Station offers avenues of reflection connecting the Cross of Christ with our own.
The Way to God
by Mahatma Gandhi Michael N. Nagler Arun Gandhi M. S. DeshpandeMahatma Gandhi became famous as the leader of the Indian independence movement, but he called himself "a man of God disguised as a politician." The Way to God demonstrates his enduring significance as a spiritual leader whose ideas offer insight and solace to seekers of every practice and persuasion. Collecting many of his most significant writings, the book explores the deep religious roots of Gandhi's worldly accomplishments and reveals--in his own words--his intellectual, moral, and spiritual approaches to the divine. First published in India in 1971, the book is based on Gandhi's lifetime experiments with truth and reveals the heart of his teachings. Gandhi's aphoristic power, his ability to sum up complex ideas in a few authoritative strokes, shines through these pages. Individual chapters cover such topics as moral discipline, spiritual practice, spiritual experience, and much more. Gandhi's guiding principles of selflessness, humility, service, active yet nonviolent resistance, and vegetarianism make his writings as timely today as when these writings first appeared. A foreword by Gandhi's grandson Arun and an introduction by Michael Nagler add useful context.

In Wesley’s “order of salvation,” God’s grace is the keynote from start to finish. The Way to Heaven is a twentieth-anniversary revision of John Wesley’s Message for Today. Dr. Steve Harper presents Wesley’s writings and the ideas of Wesley scholars in language that is clear and accessible but never simplistic.

Included are two new chapters. “Vision and Means” explores Wesley’s mission and methods, and “To Serve the Present Age” considers the impact and relevance of his message today. In addition, an updated reading list facilitates further study, and questions at the end of each chapter stimulate personal reflection and small group discussion. Ideal as a textbook or for personal study and reflection, this book will advance your knowledge and piety as you travel “the way to heaven.”
The Way to Life: At the Heart of the Tao Te Ching
by Benjamin HoffAround 2,500 years ago, a man appeared at Han-ku Pass in northwest China, traveling toward the wilderness beyond the border. The Keeper of the Pass recognized the man known as Lao-tze, Old Master, and realized from his words that he did not intend to return. He begged Lao-tze to leave some of his guiding principles. After many refusals, Lao-tze gave in and wrote what he considered to be useful on some bamboo tablets. He presented these and resumed his journey, vanishing from sight. The statements he left behind have come to be known as the Tao Te Ching (Tao Virtue Classic), the book of Tao and its characteristics. Tao can roughly be described as the ways or laws of the life force found within all things at all times as well as the inner power itself, inseparable from its external actions. Literally, Tao means road, path, or way; following Tao can mean working with universal energy and its natural laws.

The Way to a Woman's Heart: A Road Map to a Successful Marriage
by Chuck SnyderFollowing on the heels of Men: Some Assembly Required, his instruction manual on men written for women, popular author and speaker Chuck Snyder comes full circle with a much-needed book that explains the mysteries of women to men. Speaking in a man's language, from an unashamedly male viewpoint, Snyder cleverly interweaves humor and insight to teach what wives need ... and what it means for husbands to "die" for their wives on an everyday basis. Acknowledging that men want to meet women's needs but often don't know how, Snyder effectively teaches husbands how to love their wives in ways that will make them truly feel loved.
The Way to the Kingdom
by Joseph Sieber Benner“THESE words are addressed to those who are seeking the way into the Kingdom of God—the Kingdom where a Great Love and Wisdom, the serving and the inspiring of others, and the utter forgetfulness of self, are the natural life of everyone who dwells therein...”Joseph Sieber Benner (January 3, 1872 – September 24, 1938) was an American author, New Thought writer and Representative of the Brotherhood of Christ who used the pen name "Anonymous". He was the first to introduce the Knowledge and Teachings of Impersonal Life (also known as the "I AM" Teaching) to the world in his first book, The Impersonal Life published in 1914. His other works were The Way Out, The Way Beyond, Wealth, Teacher, Brotherhood, The Way to the Kingdom, Papers (65 Lessons), etc.
The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine
by Ben EhrenreichFrom an award-winning journalist, a brave and necessary immersion into the everyday struggles of Palestinian life Over the past three years, American writer Ben Ehrenreich has been traveling to and living in the West Bank, staying with Palestinian families in its largest cities and its smallest villages. Along the way he has written major stories for American outlets, including a remarkable New York Times Magazine cover story. Now comes the powerful new work that has always been his ultimate goal, The Way to the Spring. We are familiar with brave journalists who travel to bleak or war-torn places on a mission to listen and understand, to gather the stories of people suffering from extremes of oppression and want: Katherine Boo, Ryszard Kapuściński, Ted Conover, and Philip Gourevitch among them. Palestine is, by any measure, whatever one's politics, one such place. Ruled by the Israeli military, set upon and harassed constantly by Israeli settlers who admit unapologetically to wanting to drive them from the land, forced to negotiate an ever more elaborate and more suffocating series of fences, checkpoints, and barriers that have sundered home from field, home from home, this is a population whose living conditions are unique, and indeed hard to imagine. In a great act of bravery, empathy and understanding, Ben Ehrenreich, by placing us in the footsteps of ordinary Palestinians and telling their story with surpassing literary power and grace, makes it impossible for us to turn away.

The Ways Of Confucianism: Investigations In Chinese Philosophy
by David S. Nivison Bryan Van Norden<P>The study of Chinese philosophy requires an unusual combination of talents.<P> First, one must be a philosopher at heart (if not of academic department), for the issues that Mencius, Zhuāngzĭ [Chinese text removed], Zhū Xī [Chinese text removed] Wang Yángmíng [Chinese text removed], and other Chinese thinkers address are living philosophic issues. <P>Just as it took someone with a genuine understanding of science--Joseph Needham--to first appreciate Chinese science, so it takes a genuine philosopher to fully engage Chinese philosophy.<P> Second, one must be a Sinologist, for even modern Chinese are separated by wide linguistic and cultural barriers from their predecessors.<P> And to study Chinese philosophy without the tools to overcome those barriers is merely to project one's own preoccupations and concerns onto an alien culture, thereby robbing oneself of the opportunity for a genuine "fusing of horizons." Among the generation of scholars who came to intellectual maturity following the second world war, several stand out for their knowledge of both philosophy and Sinology. Among these are A. C. Graham, D.C. Lau, Donald Munro, and David S. Nivison.<P> Of these four, Nivison's work is the least well known. Although highly respected in Sinological circles and among us "happy few" who study Chinese philosophy, Nivison has remained a philosopher's philosopher, and his work is not commonly cited.<P> Consider two outstanding recent histories of ancient Chinese philosophy--Benjamin Schwartz's The World of Thought in Ancient China (1985) and A. C. Graham's Disputers of the Too (1989). Schwartz cites only two papers by Nivison--one dating the conquest of the Shang by the Zhou (1983), and one a highly technical bit of philology analyzing Shang Dynasty oracle bone inscriptions (1978-1979). Graham, on the other hand, cites three articles by Nivison, only one of which is on philosophy (1980a), the other two essays dealing with chronological issues (1982-1983,1983).
The Ways Of Religion: An Introduction To The Major Traditions
by Roger EastmanRevised and updated, the third edition of this highly acclaimed anthology surveys all the major religious traditions―Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and African religions―and also covers Zen Buddhism, Shinto, and the religious experience in America. Ideal for courses in world religions and comparative religion, it introduces the unique claims, hopes, and wisdom of each tradition in its own voice, through substantial excerpts from its scriptures, prophets, and authors. "I have tried to pay heed," Eastman writes in his Preface, "to A. C. Bouquet's warning of many years ago that the study of religion may sink to the level of collecting dead insects or pressed flowers, which in the process lose all their color and reality. There is not much excuse for a dreary book about a subject as inherently interesting and provocative as the world's religions." The following selections are new to the third edition: Diana L. Eck's "Frontiers of Encounter," Barbara Stoler Miller on Yoga, R. K. Narayan's story "Chudala," Julia Ching's "Confucianism in Perspective," Thomas Merton on Chuang Tzu, Joseph M. Kitagawa's "The Way of the Kami," Ian Reader on Shinto, Vincent Mulago on African Religions, and "A Personal Note" by John Hick.
