50 Quiet Miracles That Changed Lives
By William G Borchert. 2009
Inspiring true stories of ordinary people who have experienced extraordinary miracles—their Higher Power pointing them in a new direction, forever…
changing the course of their lives.Many of us dream of witnessing a real miracle, an awe-inspiring divine intervention that changes the course of our lives and heightens our belief in a personal and loving God.Yet, we are often so fixated on the idea of an awesome event that we somehow overlook the quiet little miracles that happen to each of us every day.The miracles collected in 50 Quiet Miracles That Changed Lives come in all shapes and forms, from unexpected phone calls to chance meetings. They are small enough to simply produce a warm glow and dramatic enough to create awe and wonder.A father of five witnesses his burning home being saved by bearded strangers with fire extinguishers, who put out the fire and then disappear. A diamond miner in South Africa barely avoids a deadly crash when he is pushed out of a packed elevator at the last minute. A chance meeting leads a woman to the apartment of her closest childhood friend, now dying of AIDS. She helps her friend regain spiritual strength and becomes a surrogate mother to her friend's child.If we allow ourselves to look beyond the glow and focus on the wonder, we will recognize that, in moments such as these, we are in the presence of God.Il Libro di Urantia

The Phoenix Generation
By Kingsley L. Dennis. 2014
According to futurist and sociologist, Kingsley L. Dennis, humanity is entering a momentous phase in its history. Being born today…
is a generation of children that will radically reinvent human society, moving our culture from competition, control, and censorship toward connection, communication, and compassion. The Phoenix Generation's impact will begin to be felt in 2030, but there much to do to prepare for their arrival.The book is divided into three parts. Part one briefly describes the thorny issues (e.g. global warming, nationalism, and food and water shortages) that the solution-oriented ways of the Phoenix will resolve. Dennis posits that the generations of adults living today are the bridge to the Phoenix and he shows how such developments as the worldwide web and the explosion of mobile technologies are paving the way for them. Part two describes the changes in our own consciousness being brought about by technology and what we need to do to speed their arrival. Part three gives details how the Phoenix generation will be different from us. The Phoenix Generation will work toward forming a planetary society a transition more radical than the shift from agrarian to urban life during the Industrial Revolution. These children are being born with increased instinctive intelligence and with a greater degree of inherited wisdom. With them, the quantum revolution begun 100 years ago will become mainstream. This will bring about a shift away from external dependencies (e.g. our dependency on higher education for career advancement). This normalizing of new perspectives, cosmic awareness, and of multi-dimensional realities will usher in a great wave of change. The Phoenix Generation is a deeply positive examination of our collective future.Yuga: An Anatomy of Our Fate
By Marty Glass. 2004
YUGA describes five falls--the Fall into Time, the Reign of Quantity, the Mutation into Machinery, the End of Nature, and…
the Prison of Unreality. Taken together, these comprise the fate of historical humanity and are, the author is convinced, one-way trips. And the urban-industrial-vehicular-commercial-technological-pharmaccutical-electronic-information-spectator secular society they have produced has ripped the human world to shreds... The book is hard-hitting, but readers who find it disturbing overlook the invincible beatitude that undergirds its every line. When we awaken form our modern nightmare--as sooner or later we shall--this book will help us remember what nightmare was. In YUGA the perennial wisdom has found a new and clarion voice. Glass's poetic and novelistic vocabulary, combined with exhaustive and blithely eclectic research, the mind-boggling diversity of his sources and references, even the peculiar Table of Contents, is a radical departure. Equally at gone with the Diamond Sutra and the Grundrisse of Karl Marx, while being a careful student of magazine displays at the checkout counters of supermarkets, the author cheerfully presents his book as provocation rather than as argument. But master achievement of YUGA, which lies neither in its 'argument' nor its style, is its voice. That voice speaks so palpably from the author's heart that we find it resonating on our hearts as well. The final pages of YUGA are celebrations of joy and love, and the discerning reader will detect those qualities lurking between the lines of the book's every page. For remember, Marty Glass is a spokesman for the truth that underlies all the world's wisdom traditions. Behind the world of appearances--samsara, maya and the shadows on Plato's cave--stands the uncreated Light, Reality, which is eternal Bliss. This reality speaks to individuals in the darkest times, and its grace never falters. No one need be completely captive to history's downward trajectory. Its dream unfolds, and we can actually love that dream if we are awake to the fact that is we ourselves that are, collectively, the immortal Dreamer. The message of YUGA is the message of Tradition, the Sophia Perennis. For those seriously concerned with the plight of present-day humanity and the unprecedented crises through which human society is passing, this book offers many profound insights. It can offer guidelines and openings onto the understanding of the traditional world and that perennial wisdom whose loss has brought about the present age of spiritual darkness SEYYED HOSSEIN NASR, author of Knowledge and the Sacred, etc.Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

By Don H. Polston. 2013
Nehemiah: Building out of the Rubble is a book about restoration. No matter how hopeless or helpless your situation may…
seem, God is always in the business of complete repair! The power of the Cross is that it is a complete work, so there is nothing more to be done in order to experience absolute fullness in every area of our lives. Colossians 2:9-10, 13-14 says, For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power . . . And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. As you read Nehemiah, remember that no situation--no relationship--nodisease--no prisoner--is too far gone or binding for God to rebuild, heal, or set free.Guide de développement psychique pour débutant

By Ariiah. 2013
STEPS by Ariiah is a poetic diary documenting how one Soul entered, by agreement, a body living on Earth. One…
took her leave and one took her welcome. When the host body lost its etheric particles and acquired new ones, a journey of Transformation began when the higher Soul was installed into the body. The author used poetry to cope with the tremendous Spiritual/physical/emotional and psychological challenges of the Process, while retaining the former host's memories. Poems became paper friends; hands to hold onto in the silence, giving comfort to the solitary passage. Everyone and everything grows Spiritually by taking Steps of Enlightenment. These poems were like handrails accompanying some of the steps. One of the steps was becoming a Group Soul. These steps were recorded without the thought of writing a book, but this little book, a Soul's personal journey into a new life in a different body and on Earth, became what it was meant to become. A poetic peek into an ascension at the Soul level. A completion of a promise written long ago, in Love. Enlightenment is not something that happens with one step. It is a process. A good metaphor is a staircase. Steps of Enlightenment open up everything and everyone. No two paths could ever be the same. But they do lead in the same direction. Everyone and everything goes back into the same Eternal Prime energy; a Love that cannot be described. I did an impossible thing. I changed staircases and became a totally different person. Wistancia took her leave and Ariiah took her welcome. My Soul was brought into this host body and placed on different Steps. It could never be easy to change Souls in the same body. This is the story of my journey. But it is more than that. We are all on a journey and we are all taking big steps now and they are going in the same direction. Today I am more gently slipping into my new garment of life. But even that is just another step.Seven Souls on a Cross
By Emil Toth. 2014
Paul Sentes builds a cross, places it in his front yard, hangs on the cross and begins the most inspirational,…
spiritual, dramatic and physically challenging undertaking of his life. Prompting Paul to the astounding act is his unwillingness to let his emotions control his life. He soulfully cries out to God for help and receives a recurring mystical vision of him on a cross. Vowing silence, while on the cross, protects him from the torments of his neighbors, visitors and the media. Paul's controversial act reverberates through his neighborhood, the church and ultimately the world. Thousands come to pray, to deposit crosses and articles on his lawn and ask for healing. Six souls, crippled by their emotions, become intimately involved with Paul, during his stay on the cross. They share their dreams, anxieties and fears with him. Day thirty, on the cross, Paul has an epiphany, changing his perspective, attitude and life. Five of the six souls also have transforming experiences. In his madness, the sixth suffering soul lashes out and stuns the world.Jesus the King: Understanding the Life and Death of the Son of God

Lewis’ the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, and Christian apologist—made a pact with a close friend and fellow soldier. If one of them died, the survivor would take care of his family—a promise Lewis honored.

Covering five remarkable years in Lewis's life, All My Road Before Me charts the inspirations and intellectual and spiritual development of a man whose theology and writing—including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—has had immense influence on the Christian world.The Spiritual Mandela: Faith and Religion in the Life of Nelson Mandela

"C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion.

To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.Look out for Timothy Keller's latest book, The Songs of Jesus.

How do we transform our negativity into budo, or love? And how do we move from "stuckness" to freedom?
