When it comes to religion, "choose one" is no longer your only option. You can be spiritual-but-not-religious or not particularly religious at all-yet still have a robust system of beliefs and values that guides you. Creating your own set of eclectic spiritual practices is not a sign that you are a faith-less person but rather a faith-ful person responding with honesty to an increasingly expanding world. If faithfully attending church isn't helping you live out your values in everyday ways, becoming relig-ish may be the answer! Rachelle Mee-Chapman's new book Relig-ish will help you: Create a set of spiritual practices that fit into your daily life and honor the things you value most. Develop right-fit spiritual practices for yourself and your family outside of going to church. Shake off harmful religious messages and embrace truths that won't damage yourself or your soul. Build bridges towards your religious family members by identifying the common values that are the bedrock beneath your beliefs. Discover that your soul is not at risk and you are not lost in your wondering, wandering post-church world.

Part Two "A Walk into the Holy of Holies" begins at the "Kings table" known as the Bread of Presence. Moving beyond the Table, we encounter a chosen priest who would stand before the Golden Altar offering sacred incense upon blood dripped coals. The study progresses past the Golden Altar, through the heavy Veil, where only the high priest could enter this most coveted place once a year. Here within the holy chamber we see the LORD enthroned upon the Mercy Seat. It is beyond this sacred barrier where the LORD said, "there I will meet with you; and speak to you". Today, believers can enter through the torn Veil where they are presented as a bride "holy, blameless and beyond reproach."

When a mother is struck by lightning in the early stages of pregnancy, is it any wonder her child is a little strange? Glenna Anoli is a beautiful teenage girl who hardly ever talks, and when she does, it’s mostly to companions only she can see. She calls them Shiners. People think it’s all in her head, but they’re more real than anyone could imagine. They come to Glenna’s aid whenever she’s in trouble. And she’s in trouble a lot. Predators are drawn to her as moths to a flame, but lightning has a tendency to strike those who seek to do her harm. It’s a mystery, but one that makes her that much more alluring to the good and the evil alike. When Glenna finds herself entangled with a drug-addicted preacher who believes she holds the key to an ancient prophecy, her journey takes her from the red dirt of Oklahoma to the beating green heart of the Amazon rainforest. Friendship, love, and a powerful connection to the native Gurani people await her there, along with a mystery of near Biblical proportions. Together with her loyal Shiners, she uncovers long-buried secrets, dispels the darkness of a decades-old murder, and reclaims stolen land. Transformed from a mysterious young woman to a deity revered by the Gurani, and ultimately, an internet sensation, she becomes a beacon of hope in the digital age.Prepare to be spellbound by a tale of magic, mystery, and the enduring power of the human spirit in the most unexpected of places.

Blossoms of Friendship captures the timelessness of Vimala thakar's discourses and presents each one aas a savory treat. My favourite is chapter five, The Silence of Meditation, which clearly reminds us of the power,even the necessity, of spiritual practice in today's world.

Teosinte began as a series of poems and then merged with the symbolism of Regina Szczypiorski's art. It is structured on the seven days and nights of the Mayan Underworld. A parallel story emerged with the author's diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in December 2010. This book is an honest account of one woman processing the system of cancer treatment in our country. It was written in the form of poetry and journals over a period of ten years, culminating with the assertion of a new myth; a myth that responds to the common theme of the phoenix across cultures and traditions; a myth that states the phoenix has landed, built her nest, burned and flew ... and now it's time to move forward. "After a less than ideal childhood and a difficult adult life, being hit with cancer did not make sense to me. I knew as soon as I was diagnosed I would write a book. My oldest son asked me if I thought about reading some self-help/survivor stories and I replied to him, 'No, I'm writing one.' That was Christmas Day 2010."
