It's jam-packed with quotations from Guy Finley--one for each day of the year--designed to help people wake up to real life. A person could take any one of these exercises and change his or her life in a very profound way. The format of this new book gives us something new to work with every day. I definitely give it 5 stars.             Everything Starts from Prayer: Mother Teresa's Meditations on Spiritual Life for People of All Faiths11 reviews White Cloud Press, 2010 Simple yet deep Everything starts with prayer means everything we do should begin with a prayer: an interview, house hunting, the day, a quick drive to the store, an exam. Such a deceptively simple title yet so profound. To start every 'thing' we do with a prayer - of help, thanks, or guidance - surely can only be wonderful for us and Him.             Approaching the Qur'an: The Early Revelations49 reviews MIchael Sells White Cloud Press, 2007 A Wonderful Window into a Complex Spiritual Classic Yes, this is the book that, some years ago, touched off a controversy at the University of North Carolina -- an unfortunate misunderstanding of the importance of this book. If you're a non-Muslim shopping for something helpful to read about Islam -- and you want to learn about the Quran -- you should realize that this is NOT the entire Quran. Editions of that sacred text in Arabic and English ...             Wisdom of the Master: The Spiritual Teachings of Abdu'l-Baha4 reviews Abdu'l-Baha, Steven Scholl White Cloud Press, 1997 Exemplary What an extraordinary Person 'Abdu'l-Baha was. His life was a perfect example of how every person should live. This book shows that he did not just 'talk the talk', but most definitely 'walked the walk'. I was majorly inspired by His words of Wisdom and His actions that exemplified them.             The Goddess Sekhmet: Psycho-Spiritual Exercises of the Fifth Way4 reviews Robert Masters White Cloud Press, 2002 Must Buy if Your Called to Sekhmet Dont buy this book from the sellers on this site their too expensive, go straight to Robert Masters Website, you'll see links to how you can purchase brand new paper and hardcover copies.

I came away feeling deeply moved, light hearted, and grateful to have the labyrinth in my life. Basically I gobbled this book down whole, only taking one break, and came away fully satieted and filled to overflowing. I love her quote: "What if we were to live our lives as if we were always on a pilgrimage--on a journey toward the Divine, with ...             The Muslim Next Door: The Qur'an, the Media, and That Veil Thing47 reviews Sumbul Ali-Karamali White Cloud Press, 2008 Not only a wonderful read, but quite necessary in today's time. I can't say enough how much this book is necessary to balance out the hate and misconception being presented in today's media and educational institutions as FACTS. This book is a great tool to understanding Islam not only for Muslims, like myself, but also non Muslims as well. I had thought I "KNEW" my religion. However, this book provided me with great insight and understanding of many ...             Against the Grain : Reflections of a Rebel Republican Diane N. Solomon White Cloud Press, 2000 Against the Grain is a political and spiritual memoir of Senator Mark O. Hatfield, the most progressive politician in the Republican Party since Abraham Lincoln, covering his opposition to the Vietnam War, successful drafting of the Soviet-American nuclear freeze legislation with Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, and his strong stands of conscience on health reform, the death penalty and the balanced budget amendment, which typically ran ...             Yin Yoga22 reviews Paul Grilley White Cloud Press, 2002 Excellent resource, buy the DVD as well I can remember sitting in Paul Grilleys seminar on Yin Yoga. For the first time I found a great yogi with an anatomists heart who kept hitting the nail on the head. If you have ever wondered why some poses are easy for some and impossible for others, read the book, get the DVD's and by all means go to his seminars. Pauls insights and teaching moved me from a curious yoga practitioner to ...             Song of Survival: Women Interned10 reviews Helen Colijn White Cloud Press, 1997 Stories of women in WWII This is a testimony to the strength of women and the power of music to soothe the soul. Music is a common ground for all people and this true story illustrates how beautiful sounds calm and restore our spirits and, in this story, that of the oppressors. There must be thousands of heroic folks who lived through this terrible war with strength and dignity. I am always glad to find another ...             Quarreling with God: Mystic Rebel Poems of the Dervishes of Turkey4 reviews Jennifer Ferraro White Cloud Press, 2007 This book is a worthy companion to those of Rumi and Hafiz I am a helpless renderer, but paraphrasing seems to work best here. From the opening poem in this book, to give one a sample of the fine, fine, flavor (my rendering/expounding of part of that poem): "I was asked how the Beloved and me were getting along these days?" I responded, "Don't be nosey, because -- what of it? For any events that come my way Infinite Knowledge and Compassion sent. ...             The Green Sea of Heaven: Fifty Ghazals from the Diwan of Hafiz (Library of Persian: Text and Contexts in ...8 reviews Elizabeth T. Gray White Cloud Press, 1995 Go Gray Elizabeth T. Gray is one of the very few translators who can come close to doing justice to Hafiz. Forget Ladinsky; if you want to get an idea what Hafiz really said, get Gray. To correct a misconception, the convention in Sufi poetry is to invoke Allah as a woman, lover of the male human Sufi. That's why so many Sufi poems are about love for women named Layla or Salma. The Sufi vision of God ...             Creation and the Timeless Order of Things: Essays in Islamic Mystical Philosophy1 review Toshihiko Izutsu White Cloud Press, 1994 An intellectual window to deep mysticism. Izutsu presents several essays dealing with the mystical and theological foundational beleifs of Sufism, in contrast with Vedantic and Buddhist Concepts. His attempt is to find harmony between key mystical concepts at the core of these beleif systems. The purpose of his efforts is based in his beleif that religious values are at the core of every society, and to find harmony among the worlds ...             Bridging the I-System: Unifying Spirituality and Behavior Stanley H. Block White Cloud Press, 2002 A practical guide to a new system of psychological health and spiritual transformation. The theory: self-centered thoughts restrict awareness and maintain an agenda of separateness (me vs. the world, vs. others, vs. God) Dr. Block offers clear examples of how behavior rests on the fiction of our separateness from others, and demonstrates concise methods of spiritual and psychological practice which lead to mental and behavior health-and a ...             For All Life: Toward a Universal Declaration of a Global Ethic White Cloud Press, 1999 For All Life provides an important step forward in the emerging movement toward global dialogue and peace. It is the belief of the book?s contributors that human culture has entered a new age of Global Dialogue in response to increased interpenetration of the world?s cultures. In our emerging global village, guidance is needed, for as we have painfully seen, our century is not only the century of world culture, it is also the century of ...             Hellbent for Enlightenment: Unmasking Sex, Power, and Death With a Notorious Master2 reviews Rosemary Lansdowne White Cloud Press, 1998 Portrait of a controversiel master In the early 70s Rosemary Hamilton's life took an unexpected turn when she found herself as an orangeclad disciple of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

And had ...             Creating Consciousness: A Study of Consciousness, Creativity, and Violence White Cloud Press, 2002 Creating Consciousness is Albert Low?s profound discussion of the philosophical, religious, and scientific problem of consciousness in relation to evolution, creativity, spirituality, and violence.

We ...             The Gospel of Thomas: Wisdom of the Twin2 reviews Lynn Bauman White Cloud Press, 2003 Excellent Study Guide for Group Discussions on Thomas The Gospel of Thomas By Lynn Bauman is a scholarly translation of the gospel that is now known to be the oldest of the written gospels discovered to date. It is not a narrative, as the four canonized Biblical gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but contains only the words which, according to "theTwin" who wrote it, are the direct teachings of Jesus, the Rabbi, to his Disciples. This is the ...             The Buddha Smiles: a Collection of Dharmatoons3 reviews Mari Garatri Stein White Cloud Press, 1999 "The Buddha Smiles" makes you smile!
