Sages, Saints & Kings of Ancient India
by Swami B. B. Tirtha MaharajaThe people of ancient times were inclined to give their attention not only to the external world of inert matter, but also to the world within, the vital world of consciousness. Those sages who understood the importance of such contemplation comprise the prime subject matter of this book. Especially in the troubled world of today, it is by the conscientious study of their activities and teachings that we may come to understand the Absolute Truth, or the Ultimate Reality, and attain lasting peace and joy. The pastimes of such great, sagely personalities have been narrated in detail in an ancient collection of works known as the Puranas, as well as in timeless epics such as the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and other Vedic literatures. In this book, Srila Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha Goswami Maharaja, a bona fide self-realized representative of the bhakti (devotional) lineage, has narrated important episodes and addressed salient points from these literatures. Thus, the avid reader may understand their inner meaning and apply this knowledge to their search for real happiness. Ultimately, such unadulterated, permanent happiness, according to the devotional tradition, is realized as the attainment of pure love of God, Sri Krishna.
Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God
by Swami B. Puri&“One who sings and chants these supremely confidential teachings to My devotees will attain supreme devotion for Me and will attain Me. There is no doubt in this matter.&” —Sri Krishna, Bhagavad-gita 18.68If sharing the confidential meaning of the yoga of devotional love, bhakti-yoga, is the standard for spiritual advancement, then this is the definitive edition of the Bhagavad-gita. It is the first English translation that includes summaries of the commentaries of four of the most prominent expounders of the tradition of bhakti-yoga: Srimad Bhaktivinoda ?hakura, Srimad Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Gosvami, and Sri Kanailal Pancatirtha—alongside the highly acclaimed translation of the text itself by Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev Gosvami. Taken together, no other edition of this sacred text has so comprehensively conveyed the timeless spiritual wisdom of the Bhagavad-gita.
The Power of Crystal Healing: A Complete Guide to Stone and Energy Work
by Uma SilbeyThe Power of Crystal Healing will focus primarily on practical application of stones as a source of healing for afflictions ranging from fatigue to high blood pressure. Uma Silbey, applying her 40 years of experience, presents proven crystal and stone techniques that work to heal the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Step-by-step instructions for both the beginner and the advanced show how to use crystals to help heal a diverse array of physical ailments like the flu and colds, cancers, nerve and blood disorders, migraine headaches, exhaustion, and stress, as well as emotional concerns like anger and depression, shame and guilt, loss, heartbreak, and finding love. The use of crystals to help heal common mental issues, such as anxiety and narcissism, OCD, suicidal ideation, PTSD, abusive behaviors, and self-harm, is also included. Though the use of crystals themselves can lead to a vastly expanded consciousness, the ability to &“feel&” or sense the vibrational fields that form the basis of all manifestation can help develop vast intuitive and psychic abilities and bring a deep sense of self. Specific techniques are given to help accelerate these processes. With easy-to-follow instructions, guidelines for building a personal &“Crystal Healing Kit,&” a diverse array of practices and powerful meditations, and over 100 beautiful pictures of the most powerful healing stones, this book will be an amazing first step for readers seeking a path of transformative healing.
Yoga and the Art of Mudras
by Teixeira NubiaA unique yoga guide that fuses traditional asana with mudra and storytelling from the bhakti yoga traditionYoga and the Art of Mudras is a guided journey into the alchemy of asana (yoga pose) and mudra (symbolic hand gesture). Brazilian-born yogini, dancer, and author Nubia Teixeira has been practicing and teaching traditional yoga and classical Indian Odissi dance for over twenty-six years. In this book, she fuses her passion for yoga and dance with her love for bhakti (devotion). In so doing, she has created a unique and contemporary yoga system that encompasses all three healing arts. Through beautiful photographs of each yoga pose, Nubia guides the reader in a meaningful union of hand gestures with asanas. Drawing, in particular, on expressions and hand gestures found in Indian dance, these newly developed poses will help transform a person&’s hatha yoga practice into an embodied devotional and artistic yogic experience. Nubia&’s yoga-mudra system combines expressions that are deeply rooted in the heart of traditional yoga, classical Indian Odissi dance, and inspirational bhakti yoga storytelling. Honoring the gifts of all three systems, Nubia Teixeira shares a didactic, beautiful, and truly original voyage into the heart of devotional yoga practice.

The Buddha and the Bard
by Lauren ShufranWhat does Shakespeare have to teach us about mindfulness? What Eastern spiritual views about death, love, and presence are reflected in the writings of The Bard? The Buddha and the Bard reveals the surprising connections between the 2,500-year-old spiritual leader and the most compelling writer of all time. &“Shufran&’s compelling juxtapositions will encourage the reader to ask the deepest questions of themselves while delighting in the play of resonances across a cultural and historical divide.&” – YOGA Magazine Shakespeare understood and represented the human condition better than any writer of his time. As for the Buddha, he saw how to liberate us from that condition. Author Lauren Shufran explores the fascinating interplay of Western drama and Eastern philosophy by pairing quotes from Shakespeare with the tenets of an Eastern spiritual practice, sparking a compelling dialogue between the two. There&’s a remarkable interchange of echoes between Shakespeare&’s conception of &“the inward man&” and Buddhist approaches to recognizing, honoring, and working with our humanness as we play out our roles on the &“stage&” of our lives. The Buddha and the Bard synthesizes literature and scripture, embodied drama and transcendent practice, to shape a multifaceted lyric that we can apply as mindful practice in our own lives. Shufran&’s compelling juxtapositions will encourage the reader to ask the deepest questions of themselves while delighting in the play of resonances across a cultural and historical divide.

From These Roots: Bringing Light, Hope, and Transformation to Atlanta's Inner City—A Journey of Two Brothers
by Jeff DeelPart memoir, part inspirational, Jeff Deel&’s From These Roots tells of his sometimes michievous childhood as the son of a holiness preacher and the change of heart and events that led him as an adult to work alongside his brother, ministering to the lost and forgotten people of Atlanta&’s inner city.Through Jeff&’s stories from his own past, along with those of the countless transformations he has witnessed at City of Refuge, readers will see how being a follower can be just as important as being a leader. Jeff Deel has lived in the shadow of his older brother, Bruce, for his entire life. He wouldn&’t have had it any other way. While being the sons of a holiness preacher, they still found ways to get into their fair share of mischief, with older brother Bruce taking on the role of &“leader&”—for better or worse. Yet Jeff never questioned his place as his brother&’s follower and supporter—for better or worse. Then came adulthood and Jeff&’s turbulent search to find himself. Through a series of failed occupations and the desire to avoid ministry at all costs, Jeff was predictably led right back to his brother&’s side. This time, instead of finding mischief, Jeff and Bruce worked together building the City of Refuge in Atlanta. Through their work, COR has welcomed thousands upon thousands of individuals who have found themselves in dire straits, whether as victims of abuse and sex trafficking, or as people whose own choices have thrust them to rock bottom. Jeff and Bruce have found their experience watching their parents minister to the least of these and teaching them what it means to offer a person dignity, love, and hope, prepared them more than they ever could have realized.
Sink or Sit: One Couple's Journey of Answering God's Call to Step Out of the Boat
by Jason Bilotti Haley BilottiJason and Haley Bilotti&’s Sink or Sit will inspire and challenge readers to get out of their comfort zones and step into God&’s call, to stop sitting in place but to be willing to take risks, even if that means sinking while doing it.It&’s probably happened to you. You felt that nudge, an urge, from deep inside you, calling you out of your comfort zone. Calling to you to take a risk. You have felt that call from God, asking you to step out of the boat, to do something significant. Jason and Haley Bilotti each felt it—for years. But as they began to have children and their obligations with Chick-fil-A grew, they didn&’t see a way to answer the call of their hearts: to serve God through missions. When the opportunity presented itself for them to take separate missions trips, they learned just how creative God truly is. They began leading separate teams to Niger, in western Africa, and to serve the neediest of all, the children. Through their work with Schools for Niger, Africa, an organization the Bilottis and their business associates started, they found inroads to countless communities throughout Niger. Their work also led them to meet their future son, Rachid, a child they first sponsored and later adopted. Jason and Haley tell their touching story using alternating perspectives, while also bringing in their grown children to help tell it from their own points of view. In reading this book, you will sense their passion for serving the lost and forgotten, and you will feel the love they have for the people God has brought their way. The Bilottis&’ story, Sink or Sit, will both inspire and empower you to take your own leap. To get out of that boat. To trust that sinking is better than sitting.
Full Court Faith: How We Can Be Used by God for His Good and Perfect Purpose
by George ShinnIn Full Court Faith, George Shinn's remarkable journey from small-town obscurity to NBA franchise owner shows how trusting God's plan can lead to incredible success, redemption, and miraculous life transformations."&“God has done many wonderful things in my life—but the biggest things aren&’t the accomplishments I used to take the most pride in.&” —George Shinn What can God do with a poor country boy from a small town in North Carolina? The child no one expected much from. The kid who finished high school dead last in his graduating class. One of only two students in the whole school on government assistance. The young man who had to clean business school toilets in exchange for tuition. The aspiring pro-sports franchise owner no one in New York or California took seriously. The victim of an extortion scandal that rocked the sports and business communities of Charlotte, North Carolina. The sinner whose private mistakes became front-page news for more than a year. What can God do with a person like that? Amazing things . . . things that lead to unbelievable fame and fortune. Wonderful things . . . things that brought new life and vigor to a southern gem no one outside the south had ever heard of. Miraculous things . . . things that have saved the lives of numerous stroke victims—including his own. Full Court Faith presents the uniquely inspiring life of Charlotte entrepreneur, businessman, and former NBA franchisee George Shinn, the man who brought professional sports to North Carolina. With charm, wit, humility, and his trademark enthusiasm, Shinn tells his story his way—taking responsibility for the mistakes and giving God all the credit for the victories. If you&’ve ever wondered, What could God do with someone like me? Full Court Faith brings you the answer: Anything He wants. As long as you&’re willing to trust Him on the journey.

Existence and Analogy: A Sequel to He Who Is
by E. L. Mascall Eric MascallThis book takes the doctrine of analogy and the equally important doctrine of existence as guiding principles for a survey of the foundations of natural theology. Both doctrines are treated in depth here, and readers of the same author’s He Who Is: A Study in Traditional Theism — where frequent reference is made to the doctrine of analogy — will find the present work not only a significant elaboration of the outline sketched there, but also an original and suggestive presentation of such a doctrine.
The Christian Universe
by E. L. Mascall Eric MascallThe Christian Universe is an unabashed defense of Christianity against the unbelief and indifference of our age: all who would deny human freedom and responsibility; all who would maintain that life and existence are meaningless; and all who (under whatever banner) would persuade us that the secular is all in all, or that nothing beyond our own immediate empirical world can be known. Under Mascall’s lens, those who hold such positions are seen as offering a dreary and impoverished universe, “quite incapable of satisfying our needs and aspirations.” In contrast, he upholds “the wonder and glory of Christianity,” its unique revelation and reconciliation with God as the heart of the cosmic process, and its faith not a defiance or negation of the world, but an affirmation that there is meaning to the world.
