A Course in Miracles: Text, Workbook for Students, Manual for Teachers
by Helen Schucman PhDA Course in Miracles is the acclaimed spiritual guide that teaches the way to universal love and peace is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The "miracles" of the title refers to shifts in perception from fear to love, which fosters the healing and sanctification of relationships. Although expressed in terms of traditional Christianity, this life-changing work constitutes nonsectarian, universal spiritual teachings.The three-part approach begins with an explanation of the course's theory and the development of the experience of forgiveness. The second consists of a workbook, comprising 365 lessons — an exercise for each day of the year — intended to influence students' perceptions. The third section presents a manual for teachers, in which the question-and-answer format provides responses for likely inquiries as well as definitions for terms used throughout the course. Written by Dr. Helen Schucman, a clinical and research psychologist, and edited by her colleague at Columbia University, Dr. William Thetford, from 1965 to 1970, A Course in Miracles has been translated into more than 20 languages and sold millions of copies around the world.
A Course in Miracles: Workbook for Students/Manual for Teachers
by William Thetford; Helen SchucmanThis edition of A Course in Miracles is called the "Original Edition" because it is the revision originally undertaken by Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford and completed in 1972. The manuscript of the "Original Edition" was discovered in 1999 and first published in 2006 by the Course in Miracles Society (CIMS). A Course in Miracles - a spiritual masterpiece - is devoted to teachings about who we are, our relationship with God, and our relationship with one another. The entire "Original Edition" consists of three parts: the TEXT, WORKBOOK, and TEACHER'S MANUAL. This eBook contains the final two parts: the WORKBOOK and the TEACHER'S MANUAL. The WORKBOOK consists of the 365 Daily Lessons to be practiced daily to retrain our minds and heal our perceptions. The TEACHER'S MANUAL contains information for and about teachers of God. The restoration of previously lost passages and the reproduction of the text in its original order give the original author a presence that is somewhat lacking in later editions. In studying the "Original Edition," students often find new clarity and deeper understanding as they read the original language. We trust that studying the WORKBOOK and the TEACHER'S MANUAL of the "Original Edition" manuscript will inspire you.
A Craftsman's Legacy: Why Working with Our Hands Gives Us Meaning
by Jon Sternfeld Eric GorgesA book for makers, for seekers of all kinds, an exhilarating look into the heart and soul of artisans—and how their collective wisdom can inspire us all. "Despite our technological advances, we’re busier than ever, our lives more frazzled. That’s why the handmade object, created with care and detail, embodying a history and a tradition, is enormously powerful. It can cut through so much and speak in ways that we don’t often hear, or that we’ve forgotten." —Eric Gorges, from A Craftsman’s Legacy In this joyful celebration of skilled craftsmen, Eric Gorges, a corporate-refugee-turned-metal-shaper, taps into a growing hunger to get back to what’s real. Through visits with fellow artisans--calligraphers, potters, stone carvers, glassblowers, engravers, woodworkers, and more--many of whom he’s profiled for his popular television program, Gorges identifies values that are useful for all of us: taking time to slow down and enjoy the process, embracing failure, knowing when to stop and when to push through, and accepting that perfection is an illusion. Most of all, A Craftsman’s Legacy shows how all of us can embrace a more creative and authentic life and learn to focus on doing what we love.
A Crazy, Holy Grace: The Healing Power of Pain and Memory (A\crazy, Holy Grace Ser.)
by Frederick BuechnerWhen pain is real, why is God silent?Frederick Buechner has grappled with the nature of pain, grief, and grace ever since his father committed suicide when Buechner was a young boy. He continued that search as a father when his daughter struggled with anorexia. In this essential collection of essays, including one never before published, Frederick Buechner finds that the God who might seem so silent is ever near. He writes about what it means to be a steward of our pain, and about this grace from God that seems arbitrary and yet draws us to his holiness and care. Finally he writes about the magic of memory and how it can close up the old wounds with the memories of past goodnesses and graces from God.Here now are the best of Buechner’s writings on pain and loss, covering such topics as the power of hidden secrets, loss of a dearly beloved, letting go, resurrection from the ruins, peace, and listening for the quiet voice of God. And he reveals that pain and sorrow can be a treasure—an amazing grace.Buechner says that loss will come to all of us, but he writes that we are not alone. Crazy and unreal as it may sometimes seem, God’s holy, healing grace is always present and available if we are still enough to receive it.

A Cry for Justice: Overcome Anger, Reject Bitterness, and Trust in Jesus Who Will Fight For You
by Shelley HundleyThe forgotten face of Jesus as judge and advocate The daughter of American missionaries, Shelley Hundley was born in Colombia, and grew up on the campus of a seminary that trained leaders to serve in what was one of the most violent nations in the world. After suffering abuse at the hands of a minister in the community, she turns from God, angry and confused that He could allow this to happen. In A Cry for Justice, Hundley uses her story as a backdrop to show how she found healing from the pain, guilt, and shame of the abuse she endured as a child and how she came to know Jesus in a new way: as a righteous judge who fights for His people and takes upon Himself the burden of our injustices and pain. The story of Shelley Hundley’s journey from bitter atheist to wholehearted lover of God is unique. Yet what she learned on this journey is relevant to every person who has ever been hurt and has silently wondered, “Who will fight for me? Who can make the wrong things right?” Discover how Jesus would change your world today.
A Culpa é de Quem Sofre
by Dada BhagwanGnani Purush Dadashri nos deu uma solução simples que é útil em todas as modalidades. Esta solução vem sob a forma de declaração: “A culpa é de quem sofre.” Quem está com o erro? É o ladrão ou é aquele que foi roubado? É culpa do ladrão ou de quem foi roubado? Quem está sofrendo entre os dois? A culpa é de quem sofre. O ladrão vai sofrer quando ele for capturado e punido, mas hoje aquele que está sofrendo é o culpado; ele está sendo punido por seu erro. Hoje ele está sofrendo por erros que cometeu em sua vida passada, então a quem ele pode culpar? A partir desta perspectiva, a outra pessoa é naturalmente livre de culpa. A ciência espiritual, por trás deste inestimável sutra de Dadashri, é descoberta neste pequeno livro. A aplicação desta verdade irá resolver todo o quebra-cabeças da vida diária.
A Culture of Happiness: How to Scale Up Happiness from People to Organizations
by Tho Ha VinhPractical principles for creating conditions for happiness at scale from the program director of the Gross National Happiness Center of Bhutan, the only country in the world to measure progress by the happiness of its citizens.Despite countless happiness programs focused on individual well-being, are we any happier, really? Is it in fact possible to be fully happy within a miserably dysfunctional society built to keep structures of inequity in place? Possible, perhaps, but not easy. While the pursuit of happiness is a much-celebrated ideal, how can countries and communities design the right environments for people to lead happy lives? Personal programs for happiness that include mindfulness, empathy, and gratitude are a good start, but without structural changes, they can only go so far. Taking the case of the country of Bhutan as an example, the nation's first Gross National Happiness program director Tho Ha Vinh explains how the principles of happiness can and must apply to people, families, and communities at scale to produce the conditions for a truly satisfying life. More and more people feel that we live in a time of transition and that our very survival on this planet depends on renewing the way we live together in society. Gross National Happiness is an innovative development paradigm that puts the interconnected happiness of all people and the well-being of all life forms at the center of progress. Based on real-life experiences, this book shows a multitude of practical methods for strategic thinkers and change makers to apply the framework of Gross National Happiness to bring about positive change in schools, businesses, and communities.
