Book Description
Preface I explicitly do not affirm the truth of any statement made or implied herein concerning any actual people, including myself; or any actual relationships, including my own; or any concrete situations depicted. Everything I have written is either about or based upon my perceptions, memories, imagining, suppositions, assessments of poetic and dramatic appropriateness, and the like, all such, qua sources of factual truth, being notoriously fallible. The only truth that I do affirm herein is that of the universals that can be abstracted from the particulars of my subjective experience, the universalscall them poetic truthswhereby my audience can better understand and perfect themselves as I, hopefully, have been able to do for myself in the living and subsequent describing of all that follows. If anything I have written happens to occasion any people pain, I express in anticipation my deepest compassion; such people must know, however, that I would not have written as I have if I did not suppose that I would thereby have caused, in potentiality, far greater good than harm.

In Love with the World
Author: Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0525512543
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A rare, intimate account of a world-renowned Buddhist monk’s near-death experience and the life-changing wisdom he gained from it “One of the most inspiring books I have ever read.”—Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart “This book has the potential to change the reader’s life forever.”—George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo At thirty-six years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being. He immediately discovered that a lifetime of Buddhist education and practice had not prepared him to deal with dirty fellow travelers or the screeching of a railway car. He found he was too attached to his identity as a monk to remove his robes right away or to sleep on the Varanasi station floor, and instead paid for a bed in a cheap hostel. But when he ran out of money, he began his life as an itinerant beggar in earnest. Soon he became deathly ill from food poisoning—and his journey took a startling turn. His meditation practice had prepared him to face death, and now he had the opportunity to test the strength of his training. In this powerful and unusually candid account of the inner life of a Buddhist master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche offers us the invaluable lessons he learned from his near-death experience. By sharing with readers the meditation practices that sustain him, he shows us how we can transform our fear of dying into joyful living. Praise for In Love with the World “Vivid, compelling . . . This book is a rarity in spiritual literature: Reading the intimate story of this wise and devoted Buddhist monk directly infuses our own transformational journey with fresh meaning, luminosity, and life.”—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge “In Love with the World is a magnificent story—moving and inspiring, profound and utterly human. It will certainly be a dharma classic.”—Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart “This book makes me think enlightenment is possible.”—Russell Brand

God in the Whirlwind
Author: David F. Wells
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433531348
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Building on years of research and teaching, experienced author and theologian David Wells offers a remedy for evangelicalism’s superficial theology and weightless conception of God: a journey to discover the paradoxical nature of his holiness and love. We all struggle, at times, to hold that paradox together, commonly resulting in problems such as liberalism or legalism. Yet understanding how God’s holiness is inextricably bound to his love is what enables us to live between the two extremes and defines our life of service in this world. In the vein of classics such as Packer’s Knowing God, Wells’s biblical theology is written at an accessible level so that all readers can cultivate a balanced vision of the God who belongs in the center of it all.

Book Description
You haven't started life; you only believe you have because that's all you know! Things you've come to embrace are the very things keeping you sick, worried, confused, and defeated. Have you wondered why things are the way they are? Ever asked why do I feel up one day, down the next? Life is not the roller coaster you've allowed it to be. You are the operator at the amusement park, learn to apply the brakes to the rides and move toward your destiny. Paying a toll as you go through life is not reality, as you've experienced for years. Take the wheel then shift to cruise control. The toll booths are there to slow you down, so you're going to have to simply push ahead. Embrace wisdom, understanding, and new direction. Finding true life begins now. You're about to escape from living in fictional existence.

Book Description
May you feel the love, presence, and tranquility of God, and may your love relationship with Him continue to grow throughout your life and beyond! A key question: What has God designed and placed us on this earthly journey to learn and/or do? Are your/my heart and action true to that calling? If so, are we being faithful to becoming what God created each of us individually to be? All is well Remember God’s words to His disciples, “This kind goes out but through prayer and fasting.” Always say, “All is well.” Long though the way may seem, there is no too much by half. God is not only with you on the journey, He planned it and is planning it. There are and will be unspeakable joys on that journey; look for them! Courage! Courage! Courage! Why are we so blind as to think earthly life is all there is? Why do we ignore the immense treasure of love? What does it take to understand and make it so?
