Spiritual Memoir

このオーディオブックが生まれたのは、1枚のSPレコードと出会ったことが、きっかけでした。それは、1931年に録音されたマハトマ・ガンディーの、世界に2つしか残っていない英語のスピーチでした。何とかこのスピーチを日本語で聴きたい、そう思いました。やがて大阪女学院大学の友野先生とゼミの学生達や他の先生方を巻き込んで、ようやくかたちになりました。音源から英語の文章を起こし、さらに翻訳するという作業は、6分程のスピーチとはいえ、大変な手間を要する仕事になりました。日本語訳の朗読は声優の神谷明さんが、協力を申し出て頂けるなど、大勢のみなさまのご協力をいただきました。このオーディオブックには、ガンディーの英語のスピーチと神谷明さんの日本語訳の朗読、それに、このスピーチに関する解説や翻訳に関わった学生達へのインタビューや主導した友野先生のお話等が収められています。まだ一度も日本語に翻訳されていないこのスピーチを、是非聴いてみて下さい。(C)PAMLINK

Robert W. Janek grew up, with his mother, father, and older brother, in the farm and ranch country of west Texas. It was a “normal” childhood… until the late summer of 1952 when he had just turned eleven years old and was stricken with polio. Polio: A Personal Spiritual Journey tells the continuing story of the effects of polio on a human being: what it means to go through the initial stages of hospitalization and then the life-long physical, social, and spiritual aftermath of living with partial facial paralysis due to bulbar polio.

Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s' iconic book Be Here Now turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all.

My Many Miracles: A Spiritual Journey describes a dozen actual miraculous events which occurred to the author of the book over many decades of his life. Each of these events helped to shape a life and are unexplainable by any ordinary means. These events began in the 1940s and have continued to the present decade; they cover a very wide range of situations and behaviors - and they are all described accurately, thoroughly, and convincingly.

Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew his people - to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy, and lukewarm religion. In this compelling audio presentation, Cymbala tells the story of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, a struggling congretation of 20 - until they began to pray, and God began to move, and street-hardened lives by the hundreds were transformed by Christ's love.

This book contains life-changing events in Buddha's life, deep and meaningful stories that lead to evolution in the field of meditation. This books looks at all the important aspects of Buddha's life—his meditation, discoveries, and his life as a student, teacher, son, and husband. This book is made short in length on purpose so that all his work remains to the point. I have described Buddha as a spiritual leader, then just a character.

When we lost Muhammad Ali, we lost not only a great athlete, but also a beacon of hope for the dispossessed, forgotten, and isolated.

A must-listen for all true fans and lovers of sport and truth. With unpublished interviews.
