Suffering the loss of her father and grandmother, and dealing
with the ending of a relationship left the author tired, bereft,
disappointed, emotionally drained, and feeling like God had
forgotten her. She wondered what she could do to heal from this
holy triumvirate of personal pain.
She decided that spirituality would be the context from which
she would make her journey back to herself. If she felt like God
had forgotten her, then she would look for him everywhere and in
the eyes of everyone she met. She made a commitment to visit a
different place of worship every week for a year, whether that
place of worship reflected her religious tradition or not. In
total, she visited sixty-one churches, temples, mosques,
synagogues, and gathering places in the United States, Mexico, the
United Kingdom, Nigeria and South Africa.
"My 52 Weeks of Worship "is the story of one woman's courageous
journey. Read and see-will her journey lead her to deep, dark
places in her soul or help her find peace and acceptance?
The Secret Teachings of All Ages is perhaps the most comprehensive
and complete esoteric encyclopedia ever written. The sheer scope
and ambition of this book are stunning. In this book Manly P. Hall
has successfully distilled the essence of more arcane subjects than
one would think possible. He covers Rosicrucianism and other secret
societies, alchemy, cryptology, Kabbalah, Tarot, pyramids, the
Zodiac, Pythagorean philosophy, Masonry, gemology, Nicholas
Flammel, the identity of William Shakespeare, The Life and
Teachings of Thoth Hermes Trismegistus, The Qabbalah, The Hiramic
Legend, The Tree of the Sephiroth, and Mystic Christianity. There
are more than 200 illustrations included here (and in the trade
paperback edition) many of which have been omitted from other
publisher's editions of this book. This is essential reading for
anyone wishing to explore esoteric knowledge.
WE ARE ALL ON A JOURNEY - from the moment we are born to the final
minutes before our death. But as we live our busy lives, we
oftentimes ignore the inner hurts and pain we may be carrying. In
Lessons from a Bedside, Breda Casserly, a healthcare chaplain at
the Galway Hospice Foundation, shares the wisdom she's learned from
her patients as she's journeyed with them through serious, often
terminal, illness. Here are stories of self-acceptance, grief,
forgiveness and memory inspired by the people Breda has met over
the course of her work, along with her own story of coming to terms
with personal loss. Told with simplicity and compassion, Lessons
from a Bedside is a book of love, spirituality and humanity which
shows us paths to healing.
