By LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant. 2014
Talking to the Dead is an ethnography of seven Gullah/Geechee women from the South Carolina lowcountry. These women communicate with…
their ancestors through dreams, prayer, and visions and traditional crafts and customs, such as storytelling, basket making, and ecstatic singing in their churches. Like other Gullah/Geechee women of the South Carolina and Georgia coasts, these women, through their active communication with the deceased, make choices and receive guidance about how to live out their faith and engage with the living. LeRhonda S.

By looking in depth at this long-standing spiritual practice, Manigault-Bryant highlights the subversive ingenuity that lowcountry inhabitants use to thrive spiritually and to maintain a sense of continuity with the past.The Way of Being Lost: A Road Trip to My Truest Self
By Victoria Price. 2018
After a tumultuous period of crisis, Victoria Price rebuilt her life by embracing a daily practice of joy, healing childhood…
wounds and reconnecting to the example set by her father Vincent, the famed actor. Her journey involved stepping away from externalities and into her father's legacy — his love for people and compassion for others, his generosity of spirit and simple kindnesses, his enthusiasm for new experiences, and his love of life. "As I've gotten older, I've come to understand that every day, in everything we do, we have a choice — between expanding into our lives or contracting into our fears, into saying Yes! to life … or saying No," Victoria observes. This intimate and inspiring book shares the lessons learned from a powerful family heritage of remaining curious, giving back, and saying Yes. Join her as she shares the stories, experiences, and lessons that led her back to her truest self, including her lifesaving daily practice of joy."A brilliant account of finding and following one's inner light by a true pioneer that will help every reader do the same." — Mike Dooley, New York Times bestselling author of Infinite Possibilities and Notes from the Universe"In The Way of Being Lost, Victoria does what all of us wish to do — seek out her own relationship with spirituality and make the sacred a part of her everyday life, merely by observing the world around us in all its glory. Her writing shows the struggles of this way of being, but also its rewards." — Miranda McPherson, author of Meditations on Boundless Love "Too often we think that to lead a spiritual life requires doing everything right. That is not just a tall order, it is an erroneous one. Spirituality is about a quest for a home in love, which we will find when we finally listen to the call of our truest selves. As Victoria Price knows, this journey may come later than we hoped, but it bears the fruit of our life experience, and takes its own time to ripen. This beautiful recounting of Victoria's voyage shows us a path for discovering the Third Way and living it fully." — Fr. Richard Rohr, Founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation"In her inspiring memoir The Way of Being Lost, Victoria Price walks us all back home. A must read for anyone who dares to live a life of joy." — Rebecca Campbell, bestselling author of Light Is The New Black and Rise Sister Rise"The Way of Being Lost takes us on the most exquisite journey that one can take — the road home to one's true self … told through the particular lens of the author's life. Though it takes great courage to make this trip, the rewards are beyond measure. And in the case of The Way of Being Lost, the journey is beautifully told, universally relevant, and deeply meaningful." — Christiane Northrup, M.D., New York Times bestselling author of Goddesses Never Age"Victoria Price's journey is a truly inspiring one. She looks both outward and inward to find joy all around her. She has been a close friend to me for years and I have always been moved by her story and thrilled that she is finally sharing it with the world." — Melissa Etheridge, Grammy®- and Oscar®-winning musician and activist"Victoria Price is a fighter — for her belief in a world that is connected by Love, and for her own connection to Joy. Her commitment to living as her truest self is an inspiration for us all — match point, Ms. Price." — Martina Navratilova, tennis player, activist, wife, parent, and author of Shape Yourself and other books"Heartfelt testimony of an arduous search for self-affirmation that will appeal to fellow seekers." — Kirkus ReviewThe New Kitchen Mystic

By Bernard Levine, Emanuel Guedes Santos. 2017
Tenho certeza que você vai ficar muito surpreso ao saber que na maioria das casas judaicas, você não vai encontrar…
uma Bíblia lá. Mas, não é muito estranho, você pode dizer ... .que por que a nação conhecida como o 'Povo do Livro' não possui uma Bíblia em suas casas? O que é ainda mais surpreendente é que você pensaria que o povo judeu segue e conhece bem as Escrituras, a chocante verdade real é que a maioria dos antigos livros do testamento são um mistério para os judeus porque eles não sabem e nunca viram as profecias Sobre Jesus nos livros como Ezequiel, Isaías, Daniel e Malaquias. E, você sabia que os judeus não sabem o que estão dizendo quando estão orando, como a maioria dos judeus não podem entender o hebraico. Então agora, eu suponho que você deve estar se perguntando como os judeus se livrar de todos os seus pecados se eles não acreditam em Jesus Cristo? ... o que os judeus acreditam ser o caminho para chegar ao céu? Você ficará chocado ao descobrir o que está acontecendo no mundo judaico.The Ethics of Detachment in Santayana’s Philosophy
By Michael Brodrick. 2015
German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer wrote in 1818 that true happiness is impossible without inner peace. Around a hundred years later,…
after studying Schopenhauer, American philosopher George Santayana explained in detail how we can achieve inner peace through a special activity he called 'spirituality'. While Santayana's theory of spirituality is not well known today, it holds great promise for improving our lives. A form of momentary detachment from ideals and values, spirituality frees us to enjoy what there is, without judging it. Brodrick clarifies and completes Santayana's account of spirituality, while suggesting how spirituality can relieve human suffering, enrich our daily lives, and even make us better human beings. The finitude of the world and our own finitude mean that nothing in this life will ever be perfect, but spirituality reveals that, in a sense, everything is good enough as it is.The Olive Season

In The Olive Season, Carol Drinkwater’s much-anticipated follow-up to The Olive Farm, Carol and Michel prepare to exchange vows in,…
of all places, Polynesia—Michel's answer to Carol's challenging response to his marriage proposal (Only if the ceremony is Upon their return to the south of France as husband and wife, they find there is much hope—and work—to greet them. With a farm consisting of fifty trees producing some of the world’s finest olive oil, no longer is the challenge one of restoring the farm but in charting its development and growth. France’s rigorous agricultural standards are responsible for some of the world's best produce but also for one of its most infuriating bureaucracies. In order to obtain the coveted AOC rating, Carol and Michel are forced to both expand their farm and to negotiate a Byzantine world of forms, officials, and inspections, including the surveying of their land by a water diviner, who, via a power akin to extrasensory perception, can point out the existence of underground water sources on their property. Further complicating matters is the fact that Carol has become pregnant with the couple’s first child and has just accepted a demanding acting role. As the harvest season approaches, dramatic events, culminating in a heartbreaking miscarriage, cast shadows over the olive farm. With all the warmth and vibrancy of the Mediterranean sun, Carol Drinkwater tells her passionate, moving, and utterly uplifting story.Rick Steves' Venice 2012
