One is an articulate advocate for spirituality, the other a prominent physicist. This remarkable book is the product of that serendipitous encounter and the contentious -- but respectful -- clash of worldviews that grew with their friendship. In War of the Worldviews, these two great thinkers battle over the cosmos, evolution and life, the human brain, and God as they probe the fundamental questions that define the human experience. How did the universe emerge? What is the nature of time? What is life? Did Darwin go wrong? What makes us human? What is the connection between mind and brain? Is God an illusion? http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1548475 This work explains the importance of forgiveness in mastering the difficult emotion of anger and how to use Gods help in preventing anger from destroying ones health and happiness. Building on her signature message of using the mind to master difficult emotions, the author focuses on the most destructive, insidious one of all: anger. It is responsible for broken relationships, sleepless nights, high blood pressure and ulcers. It destroys friendships, marriages and families, not to mention peace of mind. Anger is especially hard to handle for many Christians who have learned from childhood that good Christians dont get angry. She argues that properly handled, anger is an alert system that something is wrong and needs to be resolved. In this book, she delves into the important process of forgiving, explaining its positive impact on the roots, the forms and the results of anger. Why forgive? She explains that forgiving is the only thing that can free one from the terrible turmoil that anger causes to spill over into every part of life. She understands that life will never be fair, but that is not a reason to let anger destroy our well-being and health. This is her guide to navigating that thorny territory and finding true peace. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1627739 Just like you, Ann Voskamp hungers to live her one life well.

Although living in exile, he is the beloved traditional and religious leader of millions of Tibetans and has become a global icon of peace, compassion, spiritual living, and nonviolent struggle for justice. The Dalai Lamas My Spiritual Journey brings the world a message: one of suffering, success, and hope. This vivid and moving portrait of the Dalai Lamas life journey is personal in tone but universal in scope. Using previously unpublished materials, augmented by interviews, the Dalai Lama, with his trusted collaborators help, presents a spiritual narrative of his life. Memories, stories, anecdotes, and ideas are gathered together to make an accessible and comprehensive whole. The book is organized into three parts. In the first part, he uses his childhood memories to show his human dimension and stresses the importance of relating to each other on the basis of common humanity rather than on differences in belief. In the second part, he considers himself as a Buddhist monk. He explains the source of his bodhisattva ideal and invites us to transform the world by transforming our own mind. His third aspect, that of a Dalai Lama, provides an opportunity to explain his wish to establish Tibet as a sanctuary of peace for the world, where humanity and nature can live in harmonious balance-- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1044949 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1086717 The co-author relates how he was held under plantation-style slavery until he fled in the 1960s and suffered homelessness for an additional eighteen years before the wife of the other co-author, an art dealer accustomed to privilege, intervened. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1004399 Discusses the conspiracy of religious extremists in the Holy Land and their efforts to bring about the end of the world in the current timeline. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=970705 Your greatest desire is to please God, but with each passing week, your spiritual to do list grows longer.

Surprisingly, though, the Bible does not have one answer but many answers that often contradict one another. For renowned Bible scholar Bart Ehrman the question of why there is so much suffering in the world is more than a haunting thought. Ehrmans inability to reconcile the claims of faith with the facts of real life led the former pastor of the Princeton Baptist Church to reject Christianity. In Gods Problem Ehrman discusses his personal anguish upon discovering the Bibles contradictory explanations for suffering and invites people of all faiths--and none--to confront our deepest questions about how God engages the world and each of us. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=735380 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=725916 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=700673 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=709233 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=757722 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=752506 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=725903 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=763388 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=754521 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=725905 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=743916 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=655862 Political analyst Kevin Phillips offers an explosive examination of the political coalition led by radical religion that is driving America to the brink of disaster. From ancient Rome to the British Empire, Phillips demonstrates that every world-dominating power has been brought down by a related set of causes: a lethal combination of global overreach, militant religion, resource problems, and ballooning debt. It is the same axis of ills that has come to define Americas political and economic identity in the past decade - that, left unchecked, will bring America to its knees. With an eye on the past and a searing vision of the future, Phillips has written a book that no American can afford to ignore.
