Are you longing for something more? The new book by the author of Simple Abundance
Rodney Smith has been confronting death on a daily basis as a hospice social worker. To this experience he brings his time as a Buddhist monk, delving into the workings of the mind. This alchemical combination has produced a book that, page for page, word for word, is one of the best "meaning of life" books around, rivaling Victor Frankl's classic "Man's Search for Meaning" in power and insight and surpassing it in depth. Complementing his many anecdotes of personal confrontations with death, Smith analyzes why and how we often short-change ourselves emotionally, and at the end of each chapter, he offers exercises for cultivating human wholeness. There are books about death and grieving. This is a book about transforming life. --Brian Bruya
A Novel About the History of Philosophy I cannot say enough about this book. It's an all time favorite of mine and of the MBW family; my 12 year old gifted stepson, my A/B 10 year old daughter, and my 13 year old who says, "She asks the questions I've been wondering about?!?" Adult, 10 years old and up, younger children might enjoy you reading some parts to them. Don't miss the enjoyment, education, and wonder of this book! Amazon.com: Wanting to understand the most fundamental questions of the universe isn't the province of ivory-tower intellectuals alone, as this book's enormous popularity has demonstrated. A young girl, Sophie, becomes embroiled in a discussion of philosophy with a faceless correspondent. At the same time, she must unravel a mystery involving another young girl, Hilde, by using everything she's learning. The truth is far more complicated than she could ever have imagined. "I found Sophie's World to be a charming and fascinating hybrid between a Philosophy 101 text and Alice in Wonderland -- complete with the metaphor of a rabbit! "
"Son of Man: The Mystical Path to Christ" by Andrew Harvey Andrew Harvey's "Son of Man: The Mystical Path to Christ" is a strange and wonderful book about learning to become like Jesus. Harvey, a scholar, poet, novelist, and translator (he's perhaps best known for helping incite a resurgence of interest in the 12th-century Turkish poet Rumi), draws on his extensive knowledge and experience of Christian and Eastern spiritual practices to create a profound and wide-ranging meditation on who Jesus was and why Jesus matters today. The connection between this book's beginning (a summary of historical-Jesus research) and its end (a series of meditations to help believers grow more Christ-like) is perhaps best summarized by the following passage, which also conveys the sweeping momentum of Harvey's prose: Paying attention to how Jesus acted and in what context and to what he really said--and not on the dogmas surrounding his divinity--can have the paradoxical effect of making us take him and his actions and words even more seriously and, above all, and in the highest, most urgent sense, practically. This book caught my attention because of what happened in my own family.

How Do You Spell God? : Answers to the Big Questions from Around the World "We know that there are some folks who teach that their religion is the only right religion. We have no problem with folks who believe that their religion is right. We have no problem with folks who believe that their religion is more right than any other religion. We do have a problem with people who believe that they have the only right religion and then go out and hurt other people because of it. If you hurt people because of what you think your religion teaches, it just proves that you never learned what your religion really teaches."
