"God Seeks Us" Is a book written by God to get the attention of the
200 million people in the U.S who do not attend Synagogue, Church,
Mosque or whatever. God reintroduces Himself and gently urges the
reader to turn back to God and their own religion. This is an
interfaith book and does not call for conversion to a new religion.
There is a DVD cantaining three films about God that complements
this book. Rabbi Steven Pinsky says this book is a genuine guide
for Jews, Christians, Muslims and others who want to find their
individual ways back to a meaningful and fulfilling spiritual path.
Rev.James B. Cook, Episcopal Chruch Rector, says "this book is for
anyone who has kind of given up on God and is a perfect guide for
individual or group study." Imam Yahya Hendi, PHD calls the book
"amazing, because of its many thought provoking ideas and
passages." There is a special section for "Corporations, Business
and Local Governments" which shows how these oganizations can gain
financially. They would help God reach out to 60 percent of their
employees who do not attend Synagogue, Church, Mosque or wherever.

Based upon the old tale of "The Marriage of Sir Gawain", "Kissing
the Hag" brings us face to face with the nauseating horror of the
hag - the raw side, the dark side, the inside of a woman's
essential nature. Here we find the untamed soul, the wild, angry,
selfish, lustful, manipulative and incomprehensible elements of
woman: all that makes us unacceptable and badly behaved. Too often
we have been guided to point a finger of blame, accusing our
parents, society, our partners of being dysfunctional. Here Emma
Restall Orr doesn't allow us that option. As a Druid and animist,
she takes the negative stereotypes of the irrational, emotional
woman - feisty bitch to shameless whore, smothering mother to
grumpy old bag - and finds the archetypes behind them, the faces
and forms of the dark goddess.Instead of dismissing these as
unacceptable, she encourages us to ride their wild emotional
currents, surfing the awesome tides that threaten to overwhelm us.
In "Kissing the Hag", we come to accept the fullness of our nature,
celebrating the deep mystery, the magic and power of all we are.
"Kissing the Hag" is a book written for women who long to loose the
chains of insecurity, convention, guilt and self-negation, and
rediscover the freedom and creativity of their true nature. It is
also a book written for men fascinated but infuriated by the women
they love.
In many ways, Rudolf Steiner is the forgotten genius of recent
times. A powerful thinker, who developed an intricate spiritual
philosophy based on his ability to research and perceive spiritual
dimensions, Steiner is perhaps best known today for his legacy to
education, medicine and agriculture. But behind these practical
manifestations of his ideas lies a profound teaching, which he
called a 'science of the spirit' or 'anthroposophy'. In these
wonderfully succinct summaries of Steiner's thought, Roy Wilkinson
introduces us to aspects of this spiritual philosophy. The twelve
chapters are on the following themes: Rudolf Steiner, herald of a
new age; reincarnation and karma; the spiritual nature of the human
being; the development of human consciousness; evolution of the
world and humanity; relationships between the living and the dead;
forces of evil; the modern path of initiation; life between death
and rebirth; the spiritual hierarchies; the philosophical approach
to the spirit; the mission of Christ.
'Destiny Learning', a path of adult education conceived and
developed by Coenraad van Houten (based on the work of Rudolf
Steiner), is here expanded to show a threefold way of working with
karma: understanding, transforming and ordering. This threefold
approach opens new vistas for healing relationships and conflicts,
for developing creative faculties for community building, and for
taking initiatives based on freedom. The author widens and deepens
his previous work on the theme, showing that learning from destiny,
as well as awakening the forces of will, are ongoing processes. He
offers practical advice that is directly applicable to everyday
life. Although this book can be studied on its own, it is also a
development and completion of themes from van Houten's earlier
works, Practising Destiny and Awakening the Will. Crucial aspects
of the threefold path of 'destiny learning' are here discussed and
explained in greater detail. Anyone seeking to take their personal
development in hand will find many nuggets of spiritual wisdom,
based on a lifetime's work, in this short book.
