The real test of our Buddhist practice happens not on the cushion or in the protected space of retreat, but moment-to-moment in daily life, particularly when we find ourselves in uncomfortable situations. How do we respond? In this book, one of the most respected Western figures of contemporary Buddhism, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, offers insights gleaned from more than forty years of engagement with Buddhist practice. Her perspective is vast, with a well-grounded understanding of how the timeless Buddhist teachings apply to the demands and challenges of modern life.

We need to recover a truth that has been all but lost in modern-day Christianity. It has been buried for too long, and it is too valuable to be forgotten. This life-changing truth is that the heart is the key to everything in the Christian life. The heart is the wellspring of all our actions, emotions, motives, and character. Everything we are, everything we say, and everything we do flows directly from the heart. In The Heart-The Key to Everything in the Christian Life, believers will discover how the heart is central to spiritual growth and how it will help us better reflect the image of Christ in a fallen world. The heart is the key to our service and obedience to the Father. The heart is the key to the purity and depth of our worship, praise, and love of God. It is time the Christian church once again teaches a proper understanding of the heart so that we can fully embrace and manifest the life of Christ within us.

Young people are walking away from the church and those still in the church often struggle with indifference about their faith. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time for a revolution, a holy uprising. A riot. With passion and authenticity, teen author Sara Barratt calls on her generation to reject apathy and embrace a daring, costly faith. Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara shows teens how they can stop giving in to the status quo and devote themselves fully to Christ, following him no matter what their friends do or the culture around them does. She challenges them to give everything over--their comfort zones, their time, their loyalties, their pride--and discover that in losing control they are gaining the life that was meant for them all along. Love Riot is a battle cry from one teen to another to embrace a life of wholehearted commitment and relentless abandon for Christ . . . no matter the cost.

Following the sudden, unexpected death of her loving husband of thirty-six years, a widow searches deeply for her will to live and feel again. She reaches in for calm and comes out with a story of grief and body/mind/spirit reunion. Through journaling, Ruthie finds Don again and receives wisdom from Spirit. Readers who have experienced the loss of a loved one or are interested in after-death communication will find solace in the message. The author shares her story with us, compelled by her renewed desire to live, feel, know, heal, create, serve and be. As a retired psychotherapist, I would recommend this book as an invaluable tool to help others assuage their grief. It helps make finite the gap between here and hereafter. Ruthie has pointed the way for all of us who have suffered losses of loved ones to share more fully in the wondrous continuation of life that transcends death. Sandra Nohre, PhD, Ft. Myers, Florida Ruthie just sits down and has a good cup of tea with the reader. Joy Johnson, Centering Corporation, Omaha, Nebraska I found this book helpful and reassuring. Ruthies open heart and spirit shine through. Seanne Larson Emerton, licensed marriage and family therapist, Grand Island, Nebraska
