From one of America's most brilliant writers, a New York Times
bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of
meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and
enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The
reason we suffer-and the reason we make other people suffer-is that
we don't see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative
practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world,
including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally
valid happiness. In this "sublime" (The New Yorker), pathbreaking
book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can
change your life-how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and
hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of
other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing
on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an
acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the
culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright's landmark
book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as
he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some
of the world's most skilled meditators. The result is a story that
is "provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding" (The New York
Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating.
Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is
famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual
life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological
distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from
ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.

Fifty-Two Weeks with God is composed of fifty-two meditations on
God, God's creation, and men and women who gave their lives for
others. The book begins with New Year, the time we think of what we
have done before and repent and resolve to correct ourselves. We
sit in awe at God's magnificent creation and what He has done for
us. We meditate on the lives of others who felt the call to follow
Christ and care for those in need. We meditate on the innocent
children whose characters and beliefs we mold as we care for them
by word and deed. We meditate on the spirit of God, the spirit of
love and truth. We meditate on God's promise for us to be with him
in the warmth of his love for eternity if we follow His example and
teaching.
"Whatever is true, whatever is good, whatever is honorable,
whatever is of good report. Whatever is lovely, whatever is pure;
think on these things (Philippians 4:8)."

The Babylonian Talmud remains the richest source of information
regarding the material culture and lifestyle of the Babylonian
Jewish community, with additional data now supplied by Babylonian
incantation bowls. Although archaeology has yet to excavate any
Jewish sites from Babylonia, information from Parthian and
Sassanian Babylonia provides relevant background information, which
differs substantially from archaeological finds from the Land of
Israel. One of the key questions addresses the amount of traffic
and general communications between Jewish Babylonia and Israel,
considering the great distances and hardships of travel involved.
"The Egypt Experience" is an uplifting, inspirational book. A book
that will inspire the reader to forge ahead and never to give up
when faced with difficult or adverse situations. "The Egypt
Experience" gives us to know that somewhere in our lives we will
face some rough times but that God will always be there to see us
through until the end and that we are never alone. "The Egypt
Experience" gives the readers the blessed assurance that God is
still in control of our lives and He will always protect and
provide for His children.
This book explores some key biblical principles of the kingdom of
God and relates them to some (very) basic math. It draws on
geometry and divinity to come up with some innovative practical
theorems that are sure to titillate your mind and spirit. Put your
thinking hat on Once you are born again, you are expected to grow
through: faithfulness, obedience, observing, and doing God's Word.
I call it "FOOD for growth," "GrowthFOOD," or simply "GFOOD." Eat,
and live The book teaches that everyone has a life cycle. We all
have shelf lives, use-by dates, and best-before dates. Are you past
your use-by date? Furthermore, this book unveils a secret hidden in
1 Corinthians 12:31. Having church on the basis of spiritual gifts
is excellent, but God expects his children to put into practice the
agape love in its unconditional sense-the same way God loves us:
the more excellent way. Ever heard of the Pythagoras theorem?
Unveiling the connection between the Triune God and the tripartite
man (both 3 in 1), the book takes you through what I call the
intricacies of divine geometry, some interesting mental and
spiritual gymnastics. Every human being is a triangle, the
equilateral triangle being the standard of all shapes. Moving from
Pythagoras theorem to what I call masochagoras theorems, you are
sure to find out what type of triangle you are The book also
explores the meaning of numbers. Discover their significance in
your life. Some masochagoras theorems to do with numbers are
proposed. Enjoy the intricacies of divine algebra. True worship
happens when the human equilateral triangle connects in agape love
with the divine equilateral triangle. Let God's kingdom come in
your life. Apply the proposed masochagoras theorems and enjoy life
in the kingdom-forever

Responsible Management in Theory and Practice in Muslim Societies
delineates principles of responsible management from an Islamic
perspective, exploring the concept of responsibility in Islamic
religious texts, and how the understanding of responsibility
evolved in Islamic jurisprudence. He explains aspects of individual
and group responsibility in Islam and the dissonance between
theoretical discourse and practical application. Yusuf M. Sidani
focuses on the factors that have both facilitated and hampered the
application of responsible management principles in practice in
this unique context. Themes explored across the book include
Islamic texts and responsible leadership, responsibility in Islamic
jurisprudence, individual and group responsibilities, and bridging
the gap divide between theory and practice in Muslim societies.
Sidani also poses proactive questions, including 'Who is a
responsible manager?' and 'what does it take to reaffirm both
individual and collective responsibilities', and 'whether things
can be put back on track again in Muslim societies, and how?'
