Leo Tolstoy was born to an aristocratic Russian family, became a world-famous influential novelist, and then chose to lead the simple life of a peasant. Dating from this last part of his life, Tolstoy’s influential book What I Believe takes readers along on the path to a life modeled literally on Jesus Christ’s "Sermon on the Mount" and the teachings of the Gospels. In revealing and frank essays he reimagines a faith without dogma, centered solely on Jesus’ doctrine of love, humility, and self-denial.

Most theologies suck. They’re too technical or present a God nobody understands. Sometimes, the God they portray sounds like a controlling boyfriend or an absentee parent. Rather than woo or persuade, many theology books clobber people into submission. This book is different.

Gyodo Haguri (1881-1965) was a Shin Buddhist priest whose keen appreciation for Shinran’s teaching was controversial from the standpoint of Hongwanji doctrine. His classic book Transformation of One’s Entire Being: The Culmination of Other-Power Faith (1953) was published in translation as The Awareness of Self (1967) with a prologue and epilogue by Taitetsu Unno.

For the last 14 years, Pamela Des Barres has been teaching an eight-week women's "femoir" writing workshop.

In Christ in the Classroom, Catholic author and speaker Jared Dees applies the five steps of lectio divina - reading/learning, meditation, prayer, contemplation, and action - to the ministry of catechesis.

It's the most significant question of all time: Is there a God, or isn't there? In this compelling book, Ray Comfort argues the case with simple logic and common sense.

"L'éducation de l'enfant" nous permet de comprendre les fondements de la pédagogie de Rudolf Steiner. L'art d'éduquer dans le respect des forces spirituelles à l'oeuvre dans l'enfant, en accompagnement les rythmes qui orchestrent son évolution dans ses différents corps (physique, éthérique, astrale), tel est l'essence même de cette pédagogie. Steiner critiqua farouchement l'éducation basée sur une approche trop matérialiste et intellectuelle, il invita ses auditeurs à une investigation plus poussée de la science spirituelle.
