 Tao
Te Ching
Translated by Stephen Mithchell
Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way,
is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders
of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks
at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that
imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This
book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good
with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the
Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to
good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and
ecology.
Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has
been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.

FROM THE GREAT SPIRAL GALAXIES,

In this fascinating book by Anodea Judith
we learn so much about the chakra systems as a whole, but also a
wealth of in-depth information about each of the major chakra

The
Book of Mormon
by Joseph SmithFor the twelve million
members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide
(six million in the United States), The Book of Mormon is
literally the word of God, a companion volume to the Bible that
contains the everlasting gospel. With the faith now of one of the
fastest-growing religions in the country, Doubleday is proud to
publish this first official trade edition of The Book of Mormon
by special arrangement with the Church.
According to Mormon belief, The Book of Mormon was inscribed
on golden plates by generations of prophets, quoted and abridged by
the prophet-historian Mormon, and buried in the ground by Mormon’s
son, Moroni. Fourteen centuries later, in 1823, the angel Moroni led
Joseph Smith to the plates hidden in a hillside in upstate New York.
Smith translated the ancient language into English through divine
revelation.
The Book of Mormon narrates the historical, religious,
political, and military events that shaped and continue to inform
the Church’s teachings. The publication of this edition offers the
opportunity to explore one of the largest denominations in America
today. |

How
The Irish Saved Civilization
Written by Thomas Cahill.
Learn how many of the great writings of
Christianity and other Mediterranean and near eastern philosophies
were preserved in Ireland and then re-given to the world through its
traveling monks and scholars.
My favorite section of this book is the story
of Saint Patrick -- proof that one person can make a difference in
the world simply by being faithful to his/her spiritual guidance. |
