Two Sahaja Yogi parents were sitting on the front lawn outside the
Borotin school one beautiful summer day, when one of the children
whipped out a comic book to 'tune out'. Looking at this child
immersed in Captain America, the father could not help commenting -
' wish we had children's books on chakras and the deities that we
could use to educate our children.. they spend too much time on
comics " The Universe must have been listening - one summer later,
we now have the first chakra book helping young Yogis traverse the
world from Mooladhara to Sahasrara, with illustrations lovingly
composed by Yogi hands.

Audrey Mae spends her day sitting happily in mindfulness in her
back yard. Anger, desire and fear arise in her mind, and she
watches them fade away as she returns to the happiness of
mindfulness of the present moment. After each small insight, she
sings a little song of affirmation about the experience. This
children's Dharma book offers an opportunity for parents and
children to discuss the impermanence of thoughts and disturbing
emotions, and the joy and happiness of mindfulness. The Buddha
Dharma is made accessible by demonstrating its utility in every
day, moment-to-moment happenings. It presents aspects of Buddhism
in an amusing and natural way, without cultural trappings. Children
will enjoy reading it over, and over again.
Modern medical science and the ancient writings are as one on the
importance of correct breathing as an aid to longevity and
emotional stability. Unfortunately, this seemingly simple act -
breathing - is something we all perform unconsciously, and few of
us breathe correctly. In this classic book (first published in
1905) Yogi Ramacharaka provides a complete manual of Oriental
breathing techniques, and reveals their associated benefits in
physical, mental, psychic and spiritual development. If 'to breathe
is to live', then this guide to yogic breath-control must be
required reading for all who aspire to a 'healthy mind in a healthy
body'.
This book has a unique view of the birth of Jesus and the Manger in
which the Christ Child was placed. The story is told from the stone
manger's perspective. Why has no one thought of this approach
before? It is a mystery, but this book solves not only the manger
mystery; it points out many other previously overlooked facts about
the times of the Messiah's birth.

The prayers in this book - almost all written by young people -
remind us of what real prayer is: open and honest talking with God.
The simple and direct language and the clear purpose of the prayers
are powerful reminders that when we pray, God wants us to be real -
real about ourselves, our family and friends, our hopes, our fears,
our faith in him. Life is passionate, particularly when we're
young. 'Prayers for Teenagers' aims to help us recognize God in the
midst of all our experiences - whether joyful, distressing or
challenging - and to build a solid foundation of faith for the
future. "Lord, are you really out there? Please listen to me. I'm
confused, worried. I don't know what or who to believe. Do you hear
me, understand and care for me? Please help me, Lord. Thank you.
Amen" Prayers for Teenagers
Greek mythology, an important part of the curriculum for middle
and high school students, serves as an exciting source of creative
inspiration. Through these 26 scripts, you will not only introduce
students to a fascinating body of literature, but also build their
oral reading and presentation skills. Each script introduces a
character from Greek mythology and chronicles some of the important
mythical events surrounding the figure. Students get to know
heroes, such as Heracles and Athena, in addition to lesser known
but equally fascinating figures, such as Chiron and Asclepius. A
pronunciation guide for more than 300 Greek names and a detailed
index make this a user-friendly resource.

Here is a book which young people will find a valuable addition to
their Baha'i libraries. From Mountain to Mountain: Stories about
Baha'u'llah relates the history of the Baha'i Faith from the
childhood of the Bab to the Ascension of Baha'u'llah. Written in a
simple style and suitable for use in children's classes, the book
covers all the significant events in the life of Baha'u'llah. Each
of the forty-one chapters recalls one episode in the evolution of
the Baha'i Faith, and well-known figures such as Mulla Husayn,
Vahid and Badi' are introduced. The book brings together those
strands from Baha'i history which reveal how Baha'u'llah's exile
from Persia to the Holy Land was part of the Plan of God, foretold
by the Prophet Micah: 'in that day, in which they shall come to you
. . . from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.'
