Combining dozens of quotations from a variety of sources with the distilled essence of his book "The Secret of Emotions," Justice Saint Rain has created a lovely gift edition of his popular booklet, "The Secret of Happiness," which has already sold over 12,000 copies worldwide. Whether you would like a clear and simple understanding of the nature of happiness, or need a gift for a friend who is feeling down, this easy-to-read and beautifully-formatted book is exactly what you are looking for.
In "The Secret of Emotions" Justice Saint Rain taught us how to understand the spiritual meaning behind our emotional sensations and gave us a whole new vocabulary for understanding the language of the heart. In "4 Tools of Emotional Healing" he used this language to explore the healing potential of Honesty, Forgiveness, Compassion and Faith and offered practical guidance as to how to apply them to our daily lives. In "Longing for Love" he turned his unique understanding of emotions to the question of how to find and nurture healthy relationships, while avoiding shame-based relationships and addictive or compulsive acting out. Now all three of these life-lessons are available in a single volume that will be equally useful for individuals trying to understand their life challenges and therapists trying to explain the subtleties of the healing process to their clients.
The problem with most relationship guides is that they assume that we are rational people and then give us rational advice as to how to attract another rational person. But we aren't rational. If we were, life would be much easier, but our behavior doesn't often proceed from our logical minds - no matter how much we may want to believe that it does. This is book three in the series Love, Lust and the Longing for God. In the first book of this series, The Secret of Emotions, I explain that emotions are sensations that tell us about the attributes of God, or virtues, that we experience in our environment, and that love, in particular, is an attraction to these virtues. An understanding of these two ideas, especially the second, is critical to any attempt to find true love and have healthy relationships. The goal of this third book is to expand our ability to recognize and become attracted to virtues so that we fall in love with people who are ready to have healthy, nurturing relationships. We will take a look at what these ideas look like when applied to finding and building healthy relationships in the real world. How does our understanding of the relationship between emotions and virtues help us find healthy people to be friends with? How does understanding the difference between love and lust change the way we enter into sexual relationships? How do we tell the difference between the sensation of love and all of the other sensations that are generated by relationships? How do we maintain healthy relationships once we commit to them? How do we avoid temptations that can destroy the relationship we have? These are the questions that we will be exploring in this third book. If you are unsure of the answers, then this book is a good place to start. This series can be used by therapists and treatment centers to build a foundation for a wide range of recovery programs.
Though they are not quite the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the painful emotions of shame, anger, loneliness and fear have destroyed countless lives. The need to numb and distract ourselves from them leads us to engage in behaviors that only draw us deeper into shame and isolation. We do not need distractions or drugs, we need healing. This healing is not about solving our problems; it is about making us whole. This book explains how the qualities of honesty, forgiveness, compassion and faith can ease the pain of these negative emotions by filling the empty spaces they represent. Emotions are messengers. Positive emotions tell us when we are experiencing the presence of virtues such as kindness, and justice. Negative emotions tell us which virtues are missing in our lives. By developing our own capacity to practice these four core virtues, we not only heal our painful emotions, but we become masters of our own feelings. This book builds on the understanding of emotions explained in The Secret of Emotions, book one in the Love, Lust and the Longing for God trilogy, but is a stand-alone introduction to the practice of Honesty, Forgiveness, Compassion and Faith. If you or someone you care about is struggling with anger, shame, loneliness or fear, this book will jump-start the healing process. This series can be used by therapists and treatment centers to build a foundation for a wide range of recovery programs.

If following your heart has repeatedly gotten you into trouble, but to follow your head feels like a kind of soul-death, then The Secret of Emotions will open up a whole new world of possibilities for you. It will teach your head how to understand the language of your heart, and teach your heart how to speak the language of God. This book explains that our emotional sensations tell us about the virtues we are experiencing, and that these virtues are reflections of the qualities of God in the world. Making the connection between emotions and virtues gives us a whole new vocabulary for understanding our feelings. Since most people make their life-choices based on their feelings rather than reason, understanding the meaning of our emotions is the SECOND-most important lesson we can learn in this life. The MOST important lesson is that virtues are our path to the Transcendent. Whether you call it God, Higher Power, Creative Spirit, or just your better self, we are all born with a longing to become more than we are right now - to demonstrate that we are, indeed, created in the image of the Divine.
My Baha'i Faith is a user-friendly introduction to the teachings of the Baha'i Faith - a fairly new world religion that teaches that all the major world religions were revealed by messengers of the same God. Written in a conversational tone by a long-time Baha'i, it is geared towards a mainstream audience that has a casual interest in the Baha'i spiritual and social teachings and how they might apply to one's personal life.
