Paperback. Condición: Very Good. If religion is characterised by the recruitment of God to serve our agendas, and faith is about putting our agendas at the service of God, then clearly there is too much religion in the world, and not enough faith. The first eight chapters of this book apply this religion/faith dichotomy to some crucial areas of interest to those exploring what it might mean to be people of faith in a world saturated with religion. The remaining chapters address issues of crucial importance to the future of organised religion in general, and the role of the Church of England in particular. From mediaeval polyphony to Andrew Lloyd Webber the development of a given theme through a sequence of variations has proved attractive to composers anxious to demonstrate the sometimes surprising potential of a simple melody. "No Faith in Religion" is a modest attempt to do something similar with two concepts, religion and faith, which are usually seen as simply synonymous but which are in fact subtly different and subject to being interwoven in numerous complex and unexpected ways.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. "The Extraordinary Wisdom of Ordinary Women" is a collection of intimate, heartfelt conversations with women spiritual teachers who live and look like ordinary people. They have kids, husbands, jobs, and bills to pay. What makes them extraordinary is that each woman has awakened to her true nature. And while that sounds like enlightenment, it doesn't look like the old stereotype of transcendence, detachment, and bliss. Quite the contrary. This is the feminine half of the spiritual journey - bringing it down to earth and embracing all of what it means to be human. These real life stories show by practical example what it means to be fully awake and fully engaged, to meet the world without resistance - even and especially when it's not easy - whether it's death, divorce or illness. The invitation is explicit."if these ordinary women can be fully awake and fully human, why not me, why not you? And why not now.". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Have you ever looked at the clock and been surprised at how often it says 11.11 or 2.22 or 3.33? "The 11:11 Code" tells the story of yoga teacher Hilary Carter, who was brave enough to follow the coincidences around numbers to see what would happen. To her amazement the number signs, in particular 11.11, led her to buy an ancient convent in Andalucia, Spain. The problems this led her to were in a different league to the normal "restoring old continental properties" so common on our TV screens today. Her financial backer died, her first builder ended up in prison and her second builder was paralysed in a tragic accident. But that scratches the surface. Formerly a home to the Knights Templar, the building was both haunted and seemed to have a will of its own.This exploration of synchronicity, destiny and past lives sits with The Celestine Prophecy as an inspiring example of discovering meaning behind events. It further looks at the modern explosion of interest in the significance of 11.11, and how as a binary number it links directly to the current wars in Iraq, the Lebanon and Afghanistan. With the difference, of course, that this is a true story. You will never look at the world in the same way after reading this book, for once you are awakened to the 11.11 sign, there is no going back to sleep.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Our lives are directed, either consciously or unconsciously, by our most fundamental beliefs and values. But where did those beliefs and values come from? Up until now, most of us who grew up in the West have only had two choices - either accept, lock, stock and barrel, the beliefs and values of the faith and culture we were brought up in, or reject that faith and choose another one that reflects more clearly our own sense of soul. But choosing between the many different brands on the shelves of the current 'spiritual supermarket' is no easy task - Christianity or Zen Buddhism? And what many of us have found is that even in the 'new' faith, any direct spiritual experience of our own was often denied. The new faith's own established dogma usually said that it alone had the spiritual authority to validate our experience. Now The Quest opens up another path. It does not tell you what to think or believe. Instead, it gives you some very powerful tools to re-examine, re-appraise and rebuild your most fundamental beliefs and values and then re-integrate them into your life. It does not reject the established faiths but offers you the chance to create and validate your own sense of soul - a faith that works for you - that sees you as a unique individual with your own spiritual authority and expression. Widely acclaimed for excellence and quality, The Quest is already in use worldwide by individuals, by people working in small groups, in the community, in churches, in colleges and universities. The Quest is linked to and promoted by the latest of the Quest series of specials in the, A Passion for Life, due from PBS in March 2005, which have consistently captured top ratings and reached 90 million households across North America, as well as being broadcast in Europe and Israel.

Through personal experience, anecdote and story, a priest shares an ancient, but neglected aspect of Christian prayer.

It takes us at different times into mystical oneness with the All, into profound self-knowledge and reveals love in the midst of the world. Contemplation is the universal experience at the heart of all religions. It is the place where their differences fall away and their uniqueness is celebrated. "From the Bottom of the Pond" seeks simply to be helpful. It says nothing new, but says it in a new way; a way rooted in our western culture and history. It suggests that the essence of the great and wonderful enlightenment teachings of the East was always here, hidden in plain sight. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Seership is simply living with the magic of everyday life. A natural way of living. Before we codified our symbolic understanding of the outer and inner world into ever more abstract forms of writing we all lived as seers. The followers of this right-brained tradition later came to be variously called prophets and guides, shamans and sages, mystics and saints, magicians and witches, mediums and psychics. But they share the same principles, outlined here by Barbara Meiklejohn-Free. She covers the history of seership, what it means, awakening the seer, healing the self, retrieval, dreams, divination, creating your destiny, and other subjects. Exercises end each chapter to help you awaken your conscious heart. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Published in hardback nearly a year ago, this new translation of the "New Testament" has received extraordinary reviews and widespread coverage. It is the first to abandon the "traditional" canon of scripture and include the gospels and letters that many scholars now agree were held in most esteem by the early Church, and are probably most closely in tune with the words of Jesus. It goes much further than any other in updating cultural expressions, in following the sense over longer sections, in abandoning the cultural assumptions of later Christians and choosing inclusive language that follows more closely the principles Jesus adopted. In reading this translation we experience the impact the scriptures had on the people of the time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Death, Where Is Your Sting? is about both the process of dying and the question of what, if anything, happens after death. Robert Reiss knows the answers to his questions have eluded philosophers and theologians past, but he gives a compelling argument as to why we should continue to ask the question in light of new evidence from neuroscience and new interpretations of the New Testament. Paying close attention to the contested issue of assisted dying, Reiss shows that questions of life after death are not only eternal, but urgent, as lawmakers continue to use religion and religious ethics as a guide.
