In her highly anticipated new book, How to Be Loving, Danielle LaPorte teaches that 'resiliency is our capacity to respond from the heart--it has everything to do with love and inclusiveness, and nothing to do with getting tougher. Resilience is a foil to the ego's way of dividing everything into 'right or wrong.'' This journal is a resilience tool. Yearly vision quests are great, but regular reflection keeps us close to our life force--and to each other. And the more often we reflect on what's meaningful in our life, the more light we will find to steer by. Every passage in this journal feels like a portal to your inner knowing. Reflection prompts take the individual on a journey from seeing themselves as 'separate' to recognizing that we're each part of the Divine Plan. The experience is punctuated by micro teachings on the virtues of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Forgiving, Wisdom, and Radiance. How to Be Loving: The Journal is a process of 'un-selfing,' as Danielle calls it, to realize that we're connected to an infinitely creative, loving source. Tear-out mini posters are a beautiful feature. This book companion helps us train to keep responding from the heart so that we can, as this bestselling author puts it, 'adapt to what shows up, meet all situations with inclusive love, and proceed from there. And that's resiliency.'

In this "masterwork of an authentic spirit person" (Thomas Berry), Buddhist teacher and anthropologist Joan Halifax delves into "the fruitful darkness"--the shadow side of being, found in the root truths of Native religions, the fecundity of nature, and the stillness of meditation. In "The Fruitful Darkness, a highly personal and insightful odyssey of the heart and mind, she encounters Tibetan Buddhist mediators, Mexican shamans, and Native American elders, among others. In rapt prose, she recounts her explorations--from Japanese Zen meditation to hallucinogenic plants, from the Dogon people of Mali to the Mayan rain forest, all the while creating "an adventure of the spirit and a feast of wisdom old and new" (Peter Matthiessen). Grove Press is proud to reissue this important work by one of Buddhism's leading contemporary teachers.

--WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER-- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene reveals a very different love story from the one we've come to refer to as Christianity. Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watterson leads us verse by verse through Mary's gospel to illuminate the powerful teachings it contains. A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Mary's gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"- that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul. And all we need to do is to turn inward (again and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here, within. With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms everything.

Follow an ordinary woman's quest for answers to life's most universally pondered questions... If you could chat with the creator of the universe, what would you say? Exciting, right? On second thought, sounds a bit intimidating But what if you could experience-risk free-someone else's conversation with God? It may just stimulate your own. Dialogues with the Divine follows Sondra Sula's quest to find answers to age-old questions, straight from the source: God. At the beginning of her journey, she interacted with flora, fauna, and objects as the intermediary between her and God. She'd "talk" with a particular subject (praying mantis, flower, tree or whatever she gravitated to at that particular time) recording her side of the conversation and the subject's side. After several years, she discovered she no longer needed a mediator and she felt comfortable addressing God directly. At first, Sula came to God only when she had a problem to solve, but when she quickly ran out of "problems," she simply spent time conversing. They talk about generosity, compassion, illness, fear, serenity, gratitude, and so much more. Throughout their conversations, God plays a variety of roles from best friend to therapist to parental figure, but above all-Divine Being. As their intimacy evolves, layers of Sula's previously unknown dishonesty peel away, replaced by a transparency that lays bare her soul. Dialogues with the Divine will help readers reignite their desire for personal enlightenment by simply eavesdropping on conversations with the potential to change their lives. The unwavering message throughout the book is that we are each loved for our unique selves with the potential to access God at any time. "Please take what moves you from this book to draw closer to God, and what does not resonate, let it pass by you like the wind on its journey toward another soul." -Sondra Sula
