It&amp;rsquo;s the difference between living as a good person and enjoying life as a child of God. When you &amp;ldquo;do your best&amp;rdquo; for someone, you go the first mile. When God does &lt;i&gt;His&lt;/i&gt; best &lt;i&gt;through&lt;/i&gt; you, you experience the second mile. This can happen only when you let Christ in you take over and empower you to accomplish what is impossible by your natural abilities. While others see you on the first mile, they see Christ on the second. This miraculous Christian life will overwhelm you with more time, energy, and peace. You can&amp;rsquo;t help but freely give more away! Because God does not reward your duty, He blesses your relationship with His Son. It&amp;rsquo;s time to experience radical living. It&amp;rsquo;s time to enter into &lt;i&gt;the second mile&lt;/i&gt;! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cease to Strive&amp;hellip; &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo; If someone forces you to go one mile,&amp;rdquo; Jesus said,  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;go with him two miles&amp;rdquo;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Matthew 5: 41).  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Are you obligated to serve&amp;hellip;regardless of a mediocre attitude?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Are you supposed to be exhausted? &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;hellip;So God Can Thrive &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Author Mel Blackaby carefully unfolds the true meaning of Christ&amp;rsquo;s words so you will see that it&amp;rsquo;s not about &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;. While the world sees your good works on the first mile, they see Christ&amp;rsquo;s power working through you on the second. He carries the burden and takes you beyond yourself.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First mile living is cramped and unsatisfying. When you stride beyond it, chains fall off and freedom ensues. True rest, fulfillment, joy, and other surprising treasures become yours&amp;mdash;when you dare to embark upon the second mile.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Story Behind the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;As a pastor in North America , I am amazed by how many Christians struggle with depression, anxiety, and stress. The burdens of life overwhelm them, and they pull back from serving the Lord, thinking they can&amp;rsquo;t take any more pressure. While visiting Mozambique , I went to the home of a native pastor who also works a secular job to support his life, his church, and another mission church. I was shocked at how little he had. He was giving his all to the Lord and existing on the bare minimum. As I consider his challenges, I am struck by his contagious smile. He has taken the yoke of Jesus and learned from Him; he has found rest for his soul and lives abundantly; he is walking in the second mile. I want God&amp;rsquo;s children everywhere to know the same joy and privilege that comes from serving God.&amp;rdquo; &amp;mdash; Mel Blackaby&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

That's the premise of this book: how to cook what Zen Buddhists call &quot;the supreme meal&quot;&amp;mdash;life. It has to be nourishing, and it has to be shared. And we can use only the ingredients at hand. Inspired by the thirteenth-century manual of the same name by Dogen, the founder of the Japanese Soto Zen tradition, this book teaches us how we can &quot;enlarge the family we're feeding&quot; if we just use some imagination.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Bernie Glassman founded Greyston Bakery in Yonkers, New York, in 1982 to employ those whom other companies deem unemployable&amp;mdash;the homeless, ex-cons, recovering addicts, low-skill individuals&amp;mdash;with the belief that investing in people, and not just products, does pay. He was right. Greyston has evolved into an $8 million-a-year business with clients all over New York City. It is the sole supplier of brownies to Ben &amp;amp; Jerry's Ice Cream, and has even sold cakes to the White House.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But financial profit is only one of two bottom lines that Greyston is committed to. The other one is social impact, and this goal is certainly being met. The bakery enterprise has led to the creation of the Greyston Foundation, an integrated network of organizations that provide affordable housing, child care, counseling services, and health care to families in the community. Using entrepreneurship to solve the problems of the inner city, Greyston has become a national model for comprehensive community development. Its giving back is more than just sloughing off a percentage of its profits and donating it to charity; it's about working with the community's needs right from the beginning&amp;mdash;bringing them from the margins to the core. As its company motto goes, &quot;We don't hire people to bake brownies. We bake brownies to hire people.&quot;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This book is as much a self-manual as a business manual, addressing such concepts as  &lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Beginner's mind   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;The Middle Way of Sustainability   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;The &quot;hungry ghosts&quot; of Buddhism as a picture of all humanity   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Working with our faults   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Indra's Net and the interconnectedness of life   &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;Leaving no trace&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

The translations in this book represent a curated set of their writings specifically on tantra, the advanced path of Tibetan Buddhism in which practitioners use a variety of methods and techniques to directly overcome delusion and conflicting emotions. If one has the proper training in sutra and tantra, it is said that the path to enlightenment can be traversed swiftly. Glenn H. Mullin, one of the foremost translators of the Dalai Lamas, has selected key texts from eight of the Dalai Lamas that clearly elucidate the proper understanding and context of the tantric system in this lineage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

The simplest name in Buddhism for that is 'buddha nature.' The definition of buddha nature is that we are already enlightened. We are perfect as we are. When we realize this, we are perfect. When we do not realize this, we are also perfect.&quot;&amp;mdash;from &lt;i&gt;No Self, No Problem&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This book, based on recent talks given in California, reflects Anam Thubten Rinpoche's understanding of and insight into the universal challenges of being human. Deeply trained in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, the author distills his knowledge into simple, clear words of wisdom. He avoids jargon, addressing Western thinkers who may not have any knowledge of Buddhism. His instructions cut through confusion and fixed beliefs, getting straight to the heart of our experience. With humor and ruthless honesty, he generously shares his spiritual insights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Col. Mark M. Weber was tapped to serve in a high-profile job within the Afghan Parliament as a military advisor. Weeks later, a routine physical revealed stage IV intestinal cancer in the thirty-eight-year-old father of three. Over the next two years he would fight a desperate battle he wasn&amp;rsquo;t trained for, with his wife and boys as his reluctant but willing fighting force.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; When Weber realized that he was not going to survive this final tour of combat, he began to write a letter to his boys, so that as they grew up without him, they would know what his life-and-death story had taught him&amp;mdash;about courage and fear, challenge and comfort, words and actions, pride and humility, seriousness and humor, and viewing life as a never-ending search for new ideas and inspiration.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; This book is that letter. And it&amp;rsquo;s not just for his sons. It&amp;rsquo;s for everyone who can use the best advice a dying hero has to offer.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Weber&amp;rsquo;s stories illustrate that in the end you become what you are through the causes to which you attach yourself&amp;mdash;and that you&amp;rsquo;ve made your own along the way. Through his example, he teaches how to live an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Praise for &lt;i&gt;Tell My Sons&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;A gift to us all . . . Every page exudes courage, honesty, and an indomitable spirit.&amp;nbsp;Mark Weber&amp;rsquo;s story has touched me in such a profound way.&amp;rdquo;&lt;b&gt;&amp;mdash;Mitch Albom, author of &lt;i&gt;Tuesdays with Morrie&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Tell My Sons&lt;/i&gt; is a deeply moving, personal account of a soldier&amp;rsquo;s journey into an ultimate frontier. As I read Mark Weber&amp;rsquo;s book, I was astonished by its honesty, courage, and discipline. This book offers one of the most profound and detailed descriptions of the strange world of cancer and should be essential reading for all of us who seek to understand that topsy-turvy terrain.&amp;rdquo;&lt;b&gt;&amp;mdash;Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize&amp;ndash;winning author of &lt;i&gt;The Emperor of All Maladies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Tell My Sons&lt;/i&gt; is one of the most profound and inspirational stories I have ever read. It may have been written for Mark&amp;rsquo;s children, but it may as well be a treatise for all of us about honest parenting and leadership with character in love, family, faith, and politics. For a man who is facing profound health issues, Mark is doing a remarkable job showing us all how to live with courage and integrity.&amp;rdquo;&lt;b&gt;&amp;mdash;Walter F. Mondale, former vice president of the United States&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;This book is why I have always been proud to call Mark Weber my son. His ability to reach across complex boundaries and write and speak with such depth and beauty makes him a modern day Lawrence of Arabia. Mark&amp;rsquo;s passion, attitude, and thoughts about life are what is best about America.&amp;rdquo;&lt;b&gt;&amp;mdash;General Babakir S. Zibari, chief of defense, Republic of Iraq&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;A poignant illustration of what being a hero is all about . . . Heroes exemplify invincible courage, character, and perseverance in times of insurmountable odds. Mark embodies these attributes. &lt;i&gt;Tell My Sons&lt;/i&gt; will empower the reader with profound lessons of living life with hope and determination.&amp;rdquo;&lt;b&gt;&amp;mdash;John Elway, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

It is the place where Shiva, the Lord of All, is said to have made his permanent home since the dawn of creation. There are few cities in India as traditionally Hindu and as symbolic of the whole of Hindu culture as Ban&amp;#257;ras. In this eloquent, finely observed study, Diana Eck shows how the city over the centuries has become a lens through which the Hindu vision of the world is precisely focused.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; She reveals the spiritual and historical resonance of this holy place where great sages such as the Buddha and Shankara were taught, where ashrams, palaces, and universities were built, where God has been imagined and imagined in a thousand ways. She describes the rites of its temples, the busy life of its riverfront, and the exuberance of its festivals. She tells how people travel from all over India to Ban&amp;#257;ras for the privilege of dying a good death here, for they believe that on the banks of the River Ganges where &amp;ldquo;the atmosphere of devotion is improbable in its strength,&amp;rdquo; it is possible to be released from the earthly round forever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In her account of the sacred history, geography, and art of the city, its elaborate and thriving rituals, its myths and literature, and its importance to pilgrims and seekers, Diana Eck uses her wealth of scholarship to make the Hindu tradition come powerfully alive so that we come to understand the meaning of this sacred city to the millions of believers who have been coming here for over 2,500 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Recently, Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the  14th Dalai Lama announced a decision by the leaders of the monasteries  to make the study of Western science part of the core curriculum  required of all monastic scholars in the Gelug tradition. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beyond the Robe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; tells the story of the decade long  development of the Science for Monks program and what it reveals about  the larger role Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns can play in their  monasteries, in their communities, and in the world at large. &lt;i&gt;Beyond the Robe&lt;/i&gt; is a collection of essays from the monks and scientists containing the  first insights that have come out of this historic effort. &lt;i&gt;Beyond the Robe&lt;/i&gt; follows the monks' study of science, but it is not a science book. The  real story here is what the study of science has revealed about who  these remarkable men and woman really are and the much bigger role that  they seem so suited to fill.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I hope that &lt;i&gt;Beyond the Robe&lt;/i&gt; helps you to feel  closer to the monks and nuns and to better understand their immense  potential to provide leadership in their world and further insight into  ours. Instead of simply admiring them from afar, let's all get close  enough to really listen.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&amp;mdash;Bobby Sager&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &quot;Bobby Sager has been not only a most generous and  dedicated benefactor of the Science for Monks program since it was  launched 12 years ago, but also he is a direct witness to its  flourishing. His testimony and insight are key to an in-depth  understanding of this unique encounter between two major traditions of  knowledge, Buddhist contemplative science and modern Western science.  His account provides a welcome encouragement to this wonderful meeting  of minds and hearts at the service of humanity.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&amp;mdash;Matthieu Ricard&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &quot;&lt;i&gt;Beyond the Robe&lt;/i&gt; has many fascinating dimensions  and makes a critical contribution to Tibet, to Buddhism, and to our  world today. The space it opens is the world of the Tibetan Buddhist  monastic universities, still thriving in Indian exile. Within that  world, we encounter, in beautiful and thought provoking ways, the living  tradition of Buddhist monastics, their realms of study, debate, prayer,  and meditation, and their living intellectual and experiential  encounter with the modern worldview, with its discoveries, technologies,  and anxieties.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&amp;mdash;Robert Thurman&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Bertelsen has been teaching philosophy and meditation since the early 1970s; in 1989, he met the Tibetan lama Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, who authorized Jes Bertelsen to teach Dzogchen, and to do so using his own judgment as to the most appropriate way to assimilate these teachings into Western culture. Bertelsen's teachings are based on an experiential investigation of the nature of consciousness, using comparative analysis of Eastern and Western spiritual teachings and consciousness practices on a foundation of modern psychological, philosophical, and scientific approaches.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Essence of Mind&lt;/i&gt; outlines the author's experience and approach to Dzogchen, the natural primordial state of human consciousness that is timeless, pure, and untouched by suffering. The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes different methods for pointing out the essence of consciousness and the techniques related to them. The second part seeks to outline the key principles of a training system suited to Western students that can lead to realization. The final section outlines the significance of continuous exercises, and describes the way spiritual practice slowly permeates daily life, dreams, sleep, and eventually death. Through the mind-training process, the practitioner approaches an almost ecstatic state of completion, a luminous, blissful wakefulness in which the consciousness is also fully relaxed, not clinging to bliss or desiring ecstasy, but transparent and open.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bertelsen emphasizes that while more advanced forms of spiritual training can only take place in a face-to-face, deeply engaged mutual process between teacher and student, books are useful as sources of inspiration, in particular to help review one's insights and refresh one's practice.&lt;i&gt; Essence of Mind &lt;/i&gt;systematizes the experiences that occur along the spiritual path and helps students to refine, correct, and clarify their efforts; it is the author's hope that many students in the West will be able to benefit from his comparative approach to Dzogchen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

He is equally familiar with the secular and political debate about gay marriage going on in America today, and is someone for whom same-sex marriage is a personal issue; Robinson was married to a woman for fourteen years and is a father of two children and has been married to a man for the last four years of a twenty-five-year relationship.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Robinson has a knack for taking complex and controversial issues and addressing them in plain direct language, without using polemics or ideology, putting forth his argument for gay marriage, and bringing together sacred and secular points of view.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Col. Mark M. Weber was tapped to serve in a high-profile job within the Afghan Parliament as a military advisor. Weeks later, a routine physical revealed stage IV intestinal cancer in the thirty-eight-year-old father of three. Over the next two years he would fight a desperate battle he wasn&amp;rsquo;t trained for, with his wife and boys as his reluctant but willing fighting force.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; When Weber realized that he was not going to survive this final tour of combat, he began to write a letter to his boys, so that as they grew up without him, they would know what his life-and-death story had taught him&amp;mdash;about courage and fear, challenge and comfort, words and actions, pride and humility, seriousness and humor, and viewing life as a never-ending search for new ideas and inspiration.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; This book is that letter. And it&amp;rsquo;s not just for his sons. It&amp;rsquo;s for everyone who can use the best advice a dying hero has to offer.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Weber&amp;rsquo;s stories illustrate that in the end you become what you are through the causes to which you attach yourself&amp;mdash;and that you&amp;rsquo;ve made your own along the way.
