David Headley, the American Pakistani also known as Daood Gilani, lived a double life. One day he would stroll through Central Park in his tailored Armani suit as a true New Yorker, and the next he would browse in the bazaar in Lahore wearing traditional Pakistani clothes. One day he would drink champagne at the most extravagant clubs; on another he would prostrate himself in prayer in remote Pakistan and pledge fidelity to Allah.

Yet their spiritual and cultural importance can lead to competition as religious groups seek to exclude rivals from practicing potentially sacrilegious rituals in the hallowed space and wish to assert their own claims.

Jay Sekulow presents a political and historical rationale for the existence of Israel as a sovereign nation. Here is the audiobook that defends Israel's right to exist as a sovereign nation. As chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, Sekulow has fought with Israel hand-in-hand in some of Israel's most strategic, international battles. Now, he has pulled together the definitive and comprehensive look at Israel - one of the world's most controversial nations - and its importance to us as Americans and as a key focal point to the future of the world.

In this provocative book, Mugambi Jouet describes why Americans are far more divided than other Westerners over basic issues, including wealth inequality, health care, climate change, evolution, gender roles, abortion, gay rights, sex, gun control, mass incarceration, the death penalty, torture, human rights, and war.

America's engagement with the Arab world stretches back far beyond the Iraq wars. According to Milton Viorst, the current conflict is simply the latest round in a 1,400-year struggle between Christianity and Islam, in which the United States became a participant only in the last century.

In Unholy Alliance, Jay Sekulow and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) tackle radical Islam head on.

The West, says author Tony Blankley in this shocking book, is down to its last chance. Within our lifetimes, Europe could become Eurabia, a continent overwhelmed by militant Islam that poses a greater threat to the United States than even Nazi Germany did. In The West's Last Chance, Blankley shows how that could happen and how we can prevent it.

Do we need the rules of religion in order to be good people? The German philosopher Immanuel Kant tackles this question in his 1793 text Religion Within the Boundaries of Mere Reason. More than 200 years later, it is still a key text in the shaping of Western religious thought, as well as Kant's most direct discussion of religious themes. Kant tries to look at religious practices in relation to the Enlightenment movement and its firmly held beliefs in the power of reason and personal liberty.

“Om. Quello è il Tutto, e anche questo è il Tutto. Poiché solo il Tutto nasce dal Tutto, e anche se la Totalità viene sottratta alla Totalità, ecco, ciò che rimane è il Tutto. Om. Pace, pace, pace.” Così si apre la Ishavasya Upanishad, uno dei testi più preziosi della tradizione indiana, che rivela in poche righe la natura dell’universo e il senso più profondo della vita umana in quel contesto. Qualcosa che non ha nome – l’anonimo poeta-veggente lo definisce “Quello” – perché è al tempo stesso trascendente e immanente, impersonale e personale.

Pitagora è di certo uno degli uomini più notevoli mai esistiti. E se ancora lo si identifica come un insigne matematico, l’aspetto mistico e quello esperienziale che accompagnarono il suo insegnamento sono sempre più apprezzati per la loro semplicità e completezza. La sua attualità, infatti, si è generata a ritroso, a mano a mano che nei secoli successivi le sue intuizioni sono diventate fonte di sviluppi scientifici e creativi.

«Questo è un manifesto dell’unità di corpo e anima, una dichiarazione che l’esistenza è pregna di spiritualità e perfino le montagne sono vive, perfino i sassi hanno una sensibilità. L’esistenza è sia materia che anima – o forse è un’unica energia che si manifesta in due modi. L’energia purificata si manifesta come coscienza, come consapevolezza. L’energia allo stato grezzo, densa, ancora non raffinata, appare sotto forma di materia; ma l’intera esistenza non è altro che un immenso campo di energia. Questa è la mia esperienza, non è una mia filosofia.»

Swami Satchidananda was the founder of Integral Yoga International. He taught that the birthright of all is to realize the spiritual unity behind the diversity throughout creation and live harmoniously as members of “one universal family”. Swami was born into a loving spiritual family on December 22nd in 1914, during the month known as Margali, the Dawn of the Devas. From an early age, Swami (or Ramaswamy as he was known at the time) displayed many spiritual tendencies and a deep dedication to the truth.

David Hume's book tackling the subject of belief in God is among the most influential in Western philosophy. Published in 1779, three years after Hume's death, without featuring the author's name, the book was deeply controversial in its day. It is now considered a masterpiece and Hume is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers writing in English.

Dr. Ricky Challinor’s book, Not a Hint, spotlights the purity God desires us to have, but even more importantly, it empowers us with an understanding of our spiritual identity in Christ. Embracing this identity gives us access to the biblical promises and principles that motivate us to WANT to live on His Isaiah 35:8 Highway of Holiness!
