By Anne Nivat. 2005
L'Occident tremble. Qui se cache derrière ces voiles et ces barbes ? Qui sont ces musulmans du Pakistan, d'Afghanistan et…
d'Irak ? Savent-ils vraiment comment nous vivons ? Comment nous voient-ils ? Que connaissent-ils de nous hormis nos armes, nos télés, nos moeurs ? Anne Nivat est partie, seule, dialoguer avec les mollahs des medressah du Pakistan, accompagner les Taliban d'Afghanistan, rencontrer les moudjahidin irakiens. Tous, combattants de l'islam et "adversaires" de l'Occident. Ce livre nous alerte sur l'Occident qui attire mais effraie. L'incompréhension s'est déjà installée et le fossé se creuse : là-bas, comme chez nous, on vit de stéréotypes, de fausses idées. On subit les images, les discours, la propagande. Si personne n'y prend garde, le "choc des civilisations" finira par prendre le dessus. 2006.Du bon usage de la vie et de la mort

puissants de ce monde comme les individus les plus démunis, porte sur la vie et son terme un regard qui n’est plus seulement celui du praticien, mais celui d’un acteur et d’un témoin de son siècle, d’un homme de caractère et de foi. Une préfiguration récente de sa propre mort l’a conduit à rassembler ici, avec le recul et la rigueur que confère le fait d’être “revenu de loin”, ces méditations et confidences sur quelques thèmes-clés qui façonnent notre destin. Ni mémoires ni maximes, plutôt la réflexion d’un homme exceptionnel au moment où il embrasse du regard l’essentiel de sa vie, de ce qu’il croit devoir en retenir et en léguer.Croire: choisir l'expérience spirituelle
By Deepak Chopra, Emmanuel Plisson. 2016
Dans un siècle troublé par le mal religieux - la perte des repères et des valeurs d'un côté, les extrémismes…
en tous genres de l'autre - notre conception de Dieu, quelles que soient nos convictions et nos croyances, nous écarte de toute expérience spirituelle. Or selon Deepak Chopra " la question n'est pas de savoir comment penser à Dieu, mais comment en faire l'expérience directement ". Au-delà des controverses, des dogmes et du scepticisme scientifique, Deepak Chopra nous propose de nous connecter à notre dimension spirituelle, cette ressource inaliénable de chaque être humain. Inspiré par les grandes traditions de sagesse et dans le respect des croyances individuelles, Deepak Chopra nous invite à croire, à rencontrer un Dieu non plus modelé à notre image ni à celui des fanatismes de tous bords, mais source de toutes choses et en harmonie avec la conception de l'univers. 2016.Contes des sages gardiens de la terre ((Contes des sages).)

By Nigel Spencer, Alain Dubuc. 2016

more in flux than ever before. The Rest of Canada sees Quebec in a number of ways, while the Québécois see themselves in still others, in a set of supposedly homemade myths.
