Editorial Review:

"Essential Spirituality beautifully articulates the benefits of spiritual living in the material world."–Dan Millman, author, Everyday Enlightenment and The Way of the Peaceful Warrior"Deceptively simple. Its power is rooted not only in Dr. Walsh’s formidable intellectual capacity to deal effectively with a vast body of religious literature but in his own deep spiritual practices in a multitude of disciplines over many years. An important contribution."–Ram Dass, author, Be Here Now "An absolute masterpiece . . . Essential Spirituality is helpful to both the unseasoned and seasoned seeker. The writing is deep, simple, and clear yet at the same time poetic and musical. A must read."–GERALD G. JAMPOLSKY, M.D. author, Love Is Letting Go of Fear

"Energetic, engaged, and occasionally electrifying. . . . The field of spiritual books has been looking for its own Lewis Thomas or Carl Sagan, and I believe Roger Walsh may be that one."–KEN WILBeR, author, One Taste and A Brief History of Everything

Based on over twenty years of research and spiritual practice, this is a groundbreaking and life-changing book. In his decades of study, Dr. Roger Walsh has discovered that each of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven common practices to reach that goal: recognizing the sacred and divine that exist both within and around us. Filled with stories, exercises, meditations, myths, prayers, and practical advice, Essential Spirituality shows how you can integrate these seven principles into one truly rewarding way of life in which kindness, love, joy, peace, vision, wisdom, and generosity become an ever-growing part of everything you do.

Real Life Prayer Poems for Ordinary People 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

When Guerrillas of Grace was first published, I received a copy as a gift. My husband and I were in the throes of managing an unexpected move which changed our way of life dramatically. Ted Loder's prayers became our prayers. Since then I have purchased numerous copies. Some I have given away. Others that I loaned were never returned. If you find one prayer poem in this book that speaks to you or for you, it will become one of your treasures.

Truly inspirational 5 out of 5 stars.

At Thanksgiving last year, the hostess read a prayer from "Guerrillas of Grace" as grace for the meal. It touched me so much that I bought the book, and have been thrilled with the passion and devotion of these prayers. This is a refreshingly pure and simple approach to speaking to - and mostly listening to - God in our hearts.

Earth-shaking Soul-Stirring Prayers 5 out of 5 stars.

When I first heard the prayer "Let Something Essential Happen in Me" I knew I had to find out who wrote it -- if he wrote anything else and if I could get my hands on it. The answers were -- Ted Loder wrote it -- he published several collections of his profound prayers such as "Guerrilas of Grace" in which the aforesaid prayer is included and yes indeed I could buy it. I did. Fantastic!

Editorial Review:

Internationally renowned motivational teacher, spiritual instructor, and popular theologian Caroline Myss has created a transcendent work of unique insight and revelation in Entering the Castle. This exciting new teaching of contemporary mysticism is also a brilliant synthesis of the psychology of consciousness and of Eastern and Western mystical traditions. Myss provides a highly original inner path to self-knowledge -- which is also the road into a spiritual knowledge of God and your own soul -- as she reveals a necessary external path, one that takes you out into the world to serve God and others as a mystic without a monastery -- without having to retreat into total silence, self-denial, or isolation.

As her main template for this extraordinary, modern spiritual journey, Myss uses the beloved, revered writings of The Interior Castle by Teresa of Ávila. Adapting Teresa's vision of the soul as a beautiful crystal castle with many floors, or mansions, and many rooms within those mansions, Myss guides us from room to room, helping us meet different aspects of our self, our soul, and our spirit -- preparing us for the ultimate encounter with God and our own divinity. Through intense practices and methods of spiritual inquiry adapted for contemporary life, she helps us to develop our personal powers of prayer, contemplation, and intuition and to ascend the seven levels of soul knowledge that build an ever stronger interior castle of our own -- a soul of strength and stamina.

As in all her books, Myss also recounts stories of profoundly moving real-life experiences -- of her own, as well as of her students and of renowned spiritual figures -- that bring home the universal truth of her insights. Presiding over the entire book and journey are the great mystics, ancient and contemporary, of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism with their inspiring lives and discerning spirits. And over all, the benevolence, truth, and gentle and tough love of Teresa of Ávila shine through.

Doubtless Myss's most deeply personal, revealing, compassionate, and transforming book yet, Entering the Castle is a comprehensive guidebook for the journey of your life -- a journey into the center of your soul. There, peace, God, and a fearless bliss wait for you to discover them...and claim them for your own.

Editorial Review:

“Every human life is made up of the light and the dark, the happy and the sad, the vital and the deadening. How you think about this rhythm of moods makes all the difference.”

Our lives are filled with emotional tunnels: the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, aging and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. Society tends to view these “dark nights” in clinical terms as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible. But Moore shows how honoring these periods of fragility as periods of incubation and positive opportunities to delve the soul’s deepest needs can provide healing and a new understanding of life’s meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul presents these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself, and transforming rites of passage, revealing an uplifting and inspiring new outlook on such topics as:
- The healing power of melancholy
- The sexual dark night and the mysteries of matrimony
- Finding solace during illness and in aging
- Anxiety, anger, and temporary Insanities
- Linking creativity, spirituality, and emotional struggles
- Finding meaning and beauty in the darkness

Praise:

"All of us go through troubled times, when we lie awake at night unable to sleep, wishing we had a comforting book to read. Now you do. DARK NIGHTS brings solace to the aching heart."
--Marianne Williamson, author of Everyday Grace and A Return to Love

“In these reductive and fundamentalist times, Thomas Moore asks us to acknowledge the dark moon within us all, to question the workings of a sun-bright culture which demands our happy, healthy productivity at perhaps the cost of our very souls. This is a wise and timely book, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
--Andre Dubus III, author of House of Sand and Fog

“Thomas Moore is one of the profound spiritual writers of our time. In Dark Nights of the Soul, he delves into the mystery of human suffering. This book really tells it like it is. We’ve all been discouraged by neat, tidy self-help dogmatism and Moore refuses to succumb to the commercialism of simplistic, superficial, and subjective solutions.”
—John Bradshaw, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child, Creating Love, and Healing the Shame that Binds You

"Thomas Moore is the master of conveying the insight that the dark times in our lives are not threats but friends and teachers."
--Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

Be Willing to Look 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Some of the reviews of this book are downright harsh. Someone even suggested it's "cult material". Anything, if improperly used can be considered cult fodder...I'm just waiting for someone to start a religion based on the Almighty Pickle.

I really didn't get into the book so much as I got into the CD that accompanied this book. The music is absolutely an incredible way to start the day. I always start the day with some light stretches and a brief 20 minute meditation just to get me grounded and centered and I really like doing my stretch routine with the CD that came with this book.

Someone once told me that everything contains some jewels of wisdom hidden within - we just have to be willing to look - and this book may not be your "cup of tea" but just enter into it with an open mind and you might find something that might be of great value.

Well, if you excuse me I need to put on my green robe and light a dill scented candle, it's time for me to worship the Great Claussen. Afterall, he is the One True Pickle.

Peace and Blessings,
john, 'the Light Coach'

Love, Charity and Devotion to Jesus Christ 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

What an eloquent writer! Bishop Tutu writes so beautifully, especially when he describes the Love of God. The concept of transfiguration is explained in a passage about the cross which truly brought me closer to my Lord. Dear Christian brothers and sisters: read this book and be prepared to have your prejudices and fears about other people shattered by the Love of God.

Editorial Review:

Hear Archbishop Desmond Tutu share his wise, heartfelt and even humorous words with you in his own captivating voice in this unabridged version of Tutu's 2004 book 'God Has a Dream'. Reaching out to listeners of all religious backgrounds, Desmond Tutu shows us how to transform suffering into joy both in our lives and in our world. He tells us that God dreams of a world where laughter, love, and peace reign, and where we realise that we are all members of one family -- God's family. In this extremely personal and liberating message, Father Tutu helps us "see with the eyes of the heart" and cultivate the qualities of forgiveness, humility, generosity, and courage that we need to realise God's Dream personally and globally. This unabridged version is read by Desmond Tutu. Approximate running time: 270 minutes.

Lanesa Stubbs

Editorial Review:

After centuries of neglect, the church is rediscovering the realm of dreams and visions as a legitimate avenue for receiving divine revelation. In Dream Language, James W. Goll provides an insightful and helpful handbook to this fascinating and little-known world. Based on extensive study and filled with personal insights from his years of walking in this realm, the author builds a solid framework for how Christians today can receive, understand, interpret and apply dream revelation from the Holy Spirit. Whether you are beginning to walk in this realm already or simply want to understand more about it, Dream Language is the perfect guide.

Life Changing for me 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I read this book last summer and it woke up in me a strong desire for Liberation. I followed it by reading "Pathways through Space", which she talks about in the book, and I really connected with Franklin Merrell Wolfe's words as well. But the book I would most highly recommend after reading this is "The Most Direct Means To Eternal Bliss".

Editorial Review:

In August 2003, virtually overnight, Jan Frazier experienced "a dramatic falling away of fear"--not just the immediate fear of her annual medical test but, as she learned as time went on, her fear of everything. She was "flooded with a causeless joy that has never left me."

In this book the commonplace belief that enlightenment is only for saints comes apart at the seams. Anyone can be enlightened, and all we need to do is ask.

* This rare and beautiful account puts Jan Frazier solidly in the tradition of enlightened teachers from J. Krishnamurti to Byron Katie.

* Guns and money aren't going to buy peace of mind. Giving up fear is.
