These free verse poems have been inspired by the author's conversations, events, and dreams, perspectives ranging from eastern philosophies to quantum physics, and the teachings of Persian poets and western spiritual authors.

"A necessary and needed character on our human journey is the ally, the reliable companion, the assisting force. In every heroic journey story the hero or heroine requires a trustworthy companion to fulfill his/her/their destiny. The assisting force is often depicted as a sidekick, an aide, a wise advisor, a spirit guide. In stories an assisting force can also be an elixir, a magic form of help, an animal, a wish-fulfilling gem. Some of the assisting forces in our lives are visible and some are invisible. Some are with us for life; some come and go. Examples of spiritual assisting forces are bodhisattvas and saints. Partners in a relationship that works are allies to one another. Carl Jung said that we cannot individuate on Everest, that is, alone. The archetype of the ally is necessary if we are ever to be fully who we are. Martin Buber beautifully describes this: "A person wishes to be confirmed in his being by another person. . . . It is from one human being to another that the heavenly bread of self-being is passed." This book shows us how assisting forces are in and around us, how we can be assisting forces to one another, and presents spiritual practices that can help all this happen"--

A wise and energizing book of poems suffused with music, mysticism, tenderness, and wit.Eden Pearlstein’s Nothing Is for Everyone is a manifesto of the unmanifest. Deeply, devotedly hybrid in influence and expression, this wild collection of poetry draws on rabbinic linguistics and kabbalistic meditation, free jazz and hip-hop, Marcel Duchamp and the Magid of Mezritch—all to reveal the permutational quality of language itself: its instability, resistance to containment, and divine fault lines. In these times when answers are plentiful and questions impoverished, Pearlstein’s insistence on the materiality of nothingness reveals that in fact nothing really matters. Nothing Is for Everyone was published by Deuteronomy Press and is distributed by Ayin Press (via Publishers Group West).

I'm what you might call a regular guy. For virtually all of my adult life, I've worked a nine-to-five job in an office. Yet, like many of you, I've been on a spiritual quest since I was in my twenties. Wondering if there might be more to life than the daily cycle of work-home-sleep-repeat, I began reading voraciously--everything from books on Buddhism, Hinduism, and the Jesus teachings I grew up on, to the latest spirituality bestsellers, self-help columns, and human-interest stories in my local newspaper. Eventually, I came to this realization: for me, true wisdom is not found in a single magical book or a particular religion or one enlightened spiritual teacher. Wisdom comes from many sources. Wake Up Call is a compendium of commentaries I've written over the years inspired by this unending spiritual quest. I hope this book inspires you on your quest, wherever it may lead.

An unknown author writes an unlikely book and inadvertently sparks an improbable global movement.The manuscript was written longhand on a yellow pad in a small Oregon town by a Quaker pastor describing twelve ancient Christian disciplines (the very definition of the term "unlikely"). But publishers at Harper & Row saw something special in what Richard Foster had written and took a risk.The movement kindled by the book developed slowly, almost imperceptibly. But once it caught hold, it exploded into flame.Celebration of Discipline was conceived during a period in history that Charles Dickens might describe as being the best of times and the worst of times. From its inception, American culture had been linked to Christian faith and values. We were "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The 1950s and early '60s saw the peak years of American churchgoing, when 70 percent of citizens attended church. But as the decade of the '60s stretched on, values and perspectives that had long been accepted as foundational to American faith and life began to come into question.When Celebration of Discipline spotlighted the superficiality that had come to characterize Christianity, it ignited the spiritual formation movement by prescribing the ancient spiritual practices as the necessary corrective. Michael Maudlin, religion publisher at HarperCollins, acknowledges, "People do not remember how Christians thought about spiritual formation in Christ before Celebration of Discipline was published. Most everybody now thinks it is natural for evangelicals to practice spiritual Disciplines. But it was not always so. Celebration of Discipline serves as a wonderful window into how a book can change a subculture."This is the story of that book.

A Systemic Theology sounds like a work that will close debate, shut down questions, and attempt to sit conclusively on a shelf. In this novel undertaking, the author has borrowed that classical form and danced around it with a wonderfully accessible exploration of Creation Spirituality. Kuykendall's tone is personal and invitingly conversational, and will lead the reader to want to further explore, to read broadly, and of course - true to the Creation Spirituality tradition - get oneself off the bookshelves and into the messy, inspiring, and beautiful gift that is existence. With scholarship and storytelling, the author entices Christians familiar with restrictive theological categories the chance to recognize the authenticity of the Creation Spirituality tradition, and to embrace a spiritual life that is vibrantly here-now and this-worldy. To those new or familiar with the tradition, Kuykendall's Systematic Theology excels as both a primer and reference companion.- Matthew Henry

A New Spirituality of HolinessThis book explores the rich traditions of the Celtic saints and their kinship with animals. The accounts of these individuals' lives constitute the largest body of stories (hagiographies) of any group in Christian history-so to have so many creature stories included in them reveals the deep love early and medieval Celts had for animals, with their saints sharing this quality to the full.As we read these stories, we discover that they not only record what the Celtic saints did for animals but also what the animals did for the saints. This pattern of reciprocity, transcending species, so that all benefit in both the physical and spiritual circles of life, has a great deal to teach us today about what it means to be holy.

Sellner wonderfully demonstrates that for the Celtic saints, the closer we get to God, the more God's creation should be treated with respect, wonder, and delight."- Clair Linzey, Professor of Animal Theology, and Deputy Director, Oxford Centre of Animal Ethics, Oxford, England."Through stories of foxes and badgers, otters and ducks, hounds and horses, Celtic Saints and their Animal Storiesinspires readers to reconnect with their sense of wonder and tenderness toward all of creation. Edward Sellner's book revitalizes our sense of compassion and of deep spiritual kinship with animals."- Lisa Kemmerer, author of numerous books, including Animals and World Religions"For those of us who already have a kinship with an animal, be it a dog, cat, horse, bird, or some other creature, this book teaches us how to integrate that kinship into our spirituality. Ed Sellner's book is a manual on how to integrate our relationships with animals into our spiritual lives."- Dara Molloy, author of Reimaging the Divine: A Celtic Spirituality of Experience and The Globalization of God: Celtic Christianity's Nemesis

Immer mehr Menschen verbringen ihren Lebensabend in Einrichtungen der Altenpflege. Zusätzlich zur Sorge um physische, psychische und soziale Belange gilt es, deren spirituelle Bedürfnisse zu berücksichtigen. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die spirituellen Bedürfnisse von alten Menschen in Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen zu erfassen. Gleichzeitig wurde untersucht, welche spirituellen Bedürfnisse Pflegende bei den ihnen anvertrauten Bewohner/-innen wahrnehmen. Dabei wurden Übereinstimmungen bzw. Unterschiede identifiziert. Daten aus 28 Einzelinterviews mit Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern und 9 Fokusgruppeninterviews mit Mitarbeitenden wurden mittels Qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und unter die Kernkategorien "Sinn", "Verbundenheit", "Transzendenz" kategorisiert. Die Kategorien beider Befragtengruppen wurden einem Vergleich unterzogen. Trotz zahlreicher Übereinstimmungen in den Aussagen beider Gruppen bleiben Defizite in der Wahrnehmung von Pflegenden. Aus den Ergebnissen der Arbeit werden Schlussfolgerungen für die Einbeziehung der spirituellen Dimension der alten Menschen in die pflegerische Arbeit im Seniorenheim gezogen und Empfehlungen ausgesprochen.
