Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.
The potential to attract money and create abundant wealth doesn't reside in your job, your circumstances, or even the economy. It resides within you. Your mind is equipped with the natural ability to attract as much money as you want and need - at anytime, anyplace, in any financial climate, without struggle. You just have to know how to trigger it.
What would you do if you were sitting quietly in your living room when a mysterious couple suddenly appeared from out of nowhere, and then told you they were "ascended masters" who had come to reveal some shocking secrects of existence and teach you the miraculous power of advanced forgiveness? Would you call the cops? Call a psychiatrist? Call out for pizza?
Drawing together many histories - of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores - Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers.
In A Mind at Home with Itself, Byron Katie illuminates one of the most profound ancient Buddhist texts, The Diamond Sutra (newly translated by distinguished scholar Stephen Mitchell), to reveal the nature of the mind and to liberate us from painful thoughts, using her revolutionary system of self-inquiry called "The Work". Byron Katie doesn't merely describe the awakened mind; she empowers us to see it and feel it in action.
An exhilarating journey into the mind and spirit of a remarkable man, a legendary teacher, and a masterful storyteller, conducted by TV journalist Bill Moyers for their acclaimed PBS series.

The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.
Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less than $200. The next anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955, atop Maine's Mount Katahdin, she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll do it, and I've done it."
According to the Buddha, no one can attain basic sanity or enlightenment without practicing meditation. The teachings given here on the outlook and technique of meditation provide the foundation that every practitioner needs to awaken as the Buddha did. Trungpa teaches us to let go of the urge to make meditation serve our ambition; thus we can relax into openness.
From the introduction, by Jesus, "What I have come to teach now is that you can embody love, as I did. You can become Christ within this human life and learn to embody all that is good within you. I came to show you the beauty of your own soul and what is possible as a human. I came to show you that it is possible to be both human and divine, to be love incarnate. You are equally both. You walk with one foot in the world of form and another in the formless.
If life is about the journey and not the destination, could it be that this is heaven - this physical life we are living here on earth? What we experience in our daily lives often feels like anything but heaven. But what if we understood how powerful we are - that we are powerful enough to mold both our internal and our external realities?
Imagine giving up everything you own and walking across the country...for 28 years? Meet Peace Pilgrim, who crossed the U.S. on foot seven times with only the clothes on her back to spread her message of peace. From 1953 to 1981, she lived off the land and the kindness of those she met. Whenever trouble came her way - whether blizzards or black eyes - her sole response was love. At a time when most women stayed home to cook, clean, and raise children, this joyful New Jersey native touched tens of thousands of lives, one step at a time.
Never heard of her? Listen to her story, and you'll never forget her. This biographical novel fits historical fiction, anti-bullying, and women's history themes. Aimed at middle grades and up, it's inspiring for all ages.
I loved this heart warming beautiful story!! Truly touched my heart. I enjoyed on speed 1.25x though, author was a bit slow and I almost wish a woman narrator read the story. None the less, I enjoyed it and have already recommended it to friends and family... Great for all ages!! Yay!!
If you could sum up Peace Pilgrim in three words, what would they be?
Influential Honoring Peace
What other book might you compare Peace Pilgrim to and why?
Peace Pilgrim: her life and works
The New Testement
What does Mike Tanner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Well I am really bad at reading! I am honored to have listened to Mike Tanner's reading. I wondered why he chose this story, and that made me want to read other books narrated by him.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not sure if this part of the book really happened. If it did I am impressed by the action of Peace Pilgrim and if it didn't I am amazed by the author's retelling of this story in a way that brought Peace to us so vividly. The scene involves a young boy who pitches all kinds of fights due to growing up abused. The boy even punched Peace Pilgrim when he lashed out blaming her for his fear and emotion. Yet Peace transformed that moment that could have been another conflict, turning her cheak and then reaching out to the boy to find his kindness.
Any additional comments?
I am glad Merry Brennen decided to write this book. It intrigues me because Peace Pilgrim has always influenced me in the most deep transformative way. I never met her, in fact I was born 14 months after she died. But I read her book in a time of upheaval, age 18, being diagnosed bipolar. I walked with her thinking and wondering about her selflessness when I visited a Quaker community in Costa Rica and took the identity of Friend. That first book didn't just influence me by teaching me a different way to move through the world, I really started knowing Peace. I was feeling very low, depressed, and unsure of God when I read this fictional retelling of Peace Pilgrim, and I feel tranformed like one character in the novel. Happy reading!
