Bible Myths And Their Paralells In Other Religions

Created on Sunday, 19 September 2010 13:20

This thoroughly researched book was written by T.W. Doane in 1882 although (except for things like “Part First” instead of “Part One”) you would hardly say so when you read it.

In this book, the "word of God" is clearly presented as being a work of men, altered through time and influenced by many different cultures.

Highly recommend.

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

Created on Wednesday, 28 July 2010 22:01

This is a great book. Not a lot of new info but all the good stuff that we all forget, written in a wonderful little story. Especially love the summaries of important points at the end of each chapter. I read the book on a plane, closed it, and wrote down a plan to start making some life changes and have followed through on at least half of them already. 

 

Jessica Murray, Soul-Sick Nation

Created on Wednesday, 28 October 2009 18:41

Astrology and geopolitics may seem strange bedfellows, but Soul-Sick Nation puts the two together in a masterful hybrid to provide a perspective as extraordinary as the times we are living in.

Using the principles of ancient wisdom to make sense of the current global situation, this keenly intelligent book elucidates the meaning of an epoch in distress and proposes a path towards healing. Soul-Sick Nation is neither a conventional astrology book nor a standard-issue political commentary. With clear, accessible language and a thorough appendix at the end, the book requires no previous knowledge of astrology. It introduces the newcomer to the subject with substantial depth.

By using the vocabularies of astrology and Jungian psychology, Jessica Murray invites the reader to consider critical contemporary issues with a perspective that reaches far beyond partisanship and provincialism. She offers an in-depth analysis of America's essential destiny, uncovering chapter by chapter the greater purpose that is motivating this group soul. With a rare blend of compassion, humor, and fearless taboo-busting, she shows how this greater purpose has been distorted, and how it might be re-embraced in the decades to come.

 

Bohdi Sanders – Warrior Wisdom: Ageless Wisdom For The Modern Warrior

Created on Thursday, 08 October 2009 21:01

This is not your typical book on martial arts philosophy in that it contains neither ambiguous one-liners of wisdom nor zen riddles. What it does contain is a wealth of deeply pondered wisdom that is relevant to all warriors and aspiring warriors. If you're someone who understands that being a warrior means far more than possessing physical attributes or a state of mind, but that being a warrior is a way of life, then this book is for you.

In this book, Bohdi Sanders has collected 167 bits of wisdom pertinent to the warrior lifestyle and expounded upon them with his own thoughts, in order to apply them to everyday life in the twenty-first century. His collection of wisdom comes from a variety of different people, ranging from the ones you would expect such as Sun Tzu and Miyamoto Musashi, to ones such as George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte.

Warrior Wisdom additionally has a tremendous amount of inspirational value. It's the kind of book that can be read over and over, and if you're at a point where you need motivation in your training, picking up this book and reading a few passages from it just may be the thing that prods you to drive on.
