Lou Savary and Patricia Byrne have provided a valuable contribution in this book by clearly explaining Teilhard's doctrine of love on every level of life, from God to friendship, marriage, parenting, and human community. Their book is less a scholarly exposition on a Teilhardian doctrine of love than a masterful illumination of love as the core energy of evolving life. Each chapter clearly explains Teilhard's insights and then provides practical ways of incorporating these ideas into daily life.

Dreams and Spiritual Growth presents a new and fully comprehensive dreamwork methodology. It not only reviews some of the ancient Judaeo-Christian dreamwork traditions, but it also integrates an understanding of dreams and dreamwork techniques developed by modern psychology.

Everyone wants their life to have meaning and purpose. Everyone wants to feel they are valuable and important. Everyone, deep down, wants to make a positive difference. God put those powerful desires into our genes and those longings in our hearts. At your birth, you were designed and destined to be an instrument of God's work in the world. As a living gift from God, you were born to make a positive contribution. No matter who you happen to be--rich or poor, healthy or ill, employed or free, talented or ordinary--you can make a positive difference. Millions do it every day.

You Are God's Gift to the World shows you how you can make a contribution simply by starting each day with the intention of living in an attitude of gratitude--grateful to God for the gift of life, for being a gift to the world and beloved of God.

In this grateful and grace-filled attitude--as you acknowledge that you are God's gift--you spontaneously discover, again and again, things you can do to make the world a better place--in your family, at your workplace, in your neighborhood and beyond.

Learn who you are truly called to be and discover ways you can make it happen.
