Deepak Chopra's passionate new book, Peace Is the Way, was inspired by a saying from Mahatma Gandhi: "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." In a world where every path to peace has proved futile, the one strategy that hasn't been tried is the way of peace itself. "We must not bring one war to an end, or 30," Chopra tells us, "but the idea of war itself."

I am a woman living with cerebral palsy (CP) since birth. When I was prepping for graduation and finishing my final honors essay for school, I had a realization that based on experience, most of the world does not think or experience life the way I do. Despite my CP, the world still didn't seem to process experiences, feelings, or ideas the same way I've learned to be my normal way of functioning.

Ich schreibe, weil keiner mehr zuhört... Menschen reden nur noch aneinander vorbei. Sehen sich nicht mehr. Kein Platz für Romantik. Kein Platz für tiefe Gedanken. Alles ist gestellt. Alles auf der Überholspur in die Bedeutungslosigkeit. Niemand nimmt sich Zeit für die kleinen Dinge. Niemand lauscht mehr dem Regen in der Nacht. Höher, schneller, weiter und ignoriert das Blut an den Händen. Was hätte aus uns allen werden können? Vereint für eine gute Welt. Doch der Schein des Glänzenden hat das wahre Glück ersetzt.

Dr. Worden carefully traces the historical shift through the centuries of Christianity through the Reformation on how profit-seeking and wealth are assumed to be related to the sin of greed. In short, making and accumulating money was thought by most major theologians for centuries to indicate the presence of greed, the love of more and more. The uncoupling of greed from earthly treasure began to take hold only with Aquinas amid novel pressures from Commercial Revolution.

In Too Much and Not Enough, author Karen Shock writes with a refreshingly brutal honesty about her experiences growing up under the influence of toxic theological systems that left her doubting her sanity, her identity, and her voice. Like many men and women who have been hurt by the church they loved, or betrayed by the pastors they trusted, Karen’s story is filled with disappointment and grief.

Everyone’s life is a story. A story of a journey through joy and sadness, winning and losing, good health and illness, love and hate.

First published in 1903, James Allen's As a Man Thinketh has become an inspirational classic. A beautifully thought-provoking work, Allen's contribution to the New Thought Movement continues to encourage each of us to reflect on our thoughts and to work to regain possession of them. Using Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he", as inspiration, Allen describes how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the very thoughts which he thinks. "A man is literally what he thinks."

There is nothing more universal than the concept of a soul. Your soul is of pure love, of pure energy, connectedness and oneness. We have one God. It’s why we are here. We are not just beating hearts. There has to be something most essential to life. What is the language of the soul? Traditional Chinese medicine has described this energy as “Qi” for over 3,000 years. Qigong uses energy and movement to balance the energy. The indigenous tribes have always used energy in a similar way.

From the Introduction: The hand of eternal progress is brushing the cobwebs from the corridors of time and is again revealing to the human race the mysteries of being. As there is "nothing new under the sun", the searchlight of Truth is bringing to light only what has been known to the few in all generations. The time has now come when the few must become the many. The whole world, from the least to the greatest, must know the Truth, so that man may understand the great laws that govern his life.
