Sinopse

Huang He Rituals explores the Yellow River's deep connection to Chinese civilization, highlighting its role in shaping spiritual identity and ancestral worship. The book argues that the river is more than a geographical feature; it's a living embodiment of Chinese culture. Intriguingly, the Yellow River has served not only as a source of water but also as a nexus for communicating with the divine. The river's influence extends to mythology, with legends of dragon deities adding to its sacred status. The book examines the river's role in shaping Chinese cosmology and philosophy, including its connection to feng shui. 

 
Huang He Rituals unfolds in three parts, beginning with foundational myths, then moving into rituals performed on the riverbanks, and finally analyzing the river's role in shaping Chinese thought. By blending historical analysis with spiritual interpretation, the book offers a unique understanding of the Yellow River's significance.

Blood From a Stone - A Memoir of...

Adam S. McHugh

Men's Journal Best Wine Books 2023 and André Simon Food and Drink Book Award Longlist
"This is the story of how wine brought me back from the dead."
Thus begins Adam McHugh's transition through the ending of one career—as a hospice chaplain and grief counselor—into the discovery of a new life in wine among the grapevines of the Santa Ynez Valley of California.
"This is the corkscrewing tale of how I got to Santa Ynez, eventually, and the questions that came up along the way," he continues. "You and I are going to take a long wine tour together on our way there, and we will make plenty of stops for a glass and some local wine history. As you will see, I reached into the old, old story of wine in order to find my new story, which begins, as so many wine love stories do, in the French countryside."
With warmth and wit, Adam tells the story of what happens when things fall apart and when where you live no longer feels like home. From the south of France to Champagne to the California central coast, the trail winds toward new life and healing through the good gifts of wine, friendship, and a sense of place. Pour a glass and join the adventure.

Beside Still Waters

Lynnette Bonner

Zoe Kastain wants to be happy, but just the sight of Washington Nolan standing beside Kin at his wedding has her choking the life from her gloves. The man who once dazzled her with promises of love and commitment now will hardly look at her. Even through the haze of red clouding her vision, she realizes it is probably better this way. Because after he'd returned, injured, she'd gone and laid her heart at his feet. He'd slammed his door in her face, and she never wanted to feel that incomprehensible rejection again. But as Kin and Cora exchange rings and kisses, Zoe realizes her best efforts to quash her love for Wash Nolan have been hopeless. Not only that but what if his rejection was a test to see if she would stand by him?! And she walked away! She needed to fix this! Make him realize she still loved him. But how? Her gaze settles on Kin and Cora leaving the church to the cheers of their guests. What was the biggest gesture of love, but marriage? No! She couldn't, could she? It was preposterous madness!
Wash stumbles out of the church, chastising himself for letting Kin talk him into being here today. He ought to have known that seeing Zoe again would bring nothing but heartache. They could have built a life together if not for his injury that rendered him unable to provide for a family. Despite all that, it felt good to have escaped the cabin. He needed to make an effort to get out more. He'd been pretty detached from, well, everything since his return. He just needed to make his escapes to places where Zoe Kastain would not be, because seeing her was temptation itself. The soft light of invitation in her eyes could downright make a man forget his limitations. And this was not the time for that, especially not with all the strange things happening at the farm.

Glossary of Experience

Anônimo

A luminous cartography of inner life, Glossary of Experience gathers the fragments, spirals, and transmissions that shape our becoming, drawn directly from the experiential and conceptual landscape of Lark Lauren’s work. Each entry is more than a definition; it is a portal, a poetic invocation, a moment of clarity distilled from the metaphysical architecture of his books. 
This is not a glossary of terms, but of thresholds:Where spiral becomes the choreography of returnWhere salvation dissolves into energetic equilibrium and non-dualityWhere clairvoyance is not spectacle, but the quiet knowing that sees through veilsWhere hope is not a promise, but a pulse that never dies 
Rooted in Lauren’s teachings on ascension, unconditional love, and the fourth dimension, this book invites the reader to walk the path of remembrance, to name what was once ineffable, and to recognize the divine in the language of experience.

A Master Class In Krsna Bhakti -...

Prana Govinda Das Spiritual...

I was also always seeking out people who could answer all the questions I had about life, the universe, and everything.' After studying film production in the early nineties Prana was able to fulfill his lifelong desire to travel to India. admittedly his first trip changed his life completely and forever. 'At that point,' He recalls, 'my thirst for material knowledge turned to a desire to understand the spiritual side of life. For the next six years, I returned frequently, where I studied many different paths of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other forms of yoga and meditation. However, even after learning and experiencing so much I was still left incomplete.' in 2001 during the young man's sixth trip to India, he traveled to Vrindavan, a holy town associated with Lord Krishna south of Delhi.

Some twenty years on, Prana has been resident in his teacher's temples all over the world, particularly in India, Australia, America, and Europe. A wonderful audio adventure for everyone to enjoy!

Your Photo on God's Fridge Door...

Gordon S. Jackson

Your Photo on God's Fridge Door is a compilation of 101 original and thought-provoking analogies and parables that serve as devotionals or illustrations for the more mature Christian. Each entry's originality provides the reader with fresh insights into his or her faith.
The entries, drawn from topics like sports, politics, science and nature, provide the same kind of applicability to daily life that characterized Jesus' parables. It was part of the genius of Jesus' teaching that he spoke of things that were common aspects of his hearers' everyday life, such as agricultural images like sowing seed, or domestic ones like a lost coin or old and new wineskins. Your Photo on God's Fridge Door provides the 21st century reader with images to which he or she can more immediately relate.
Jesus' initial hearers were smart enough to know the difference between figurative and literal speech, and so are the readers of Your Photo on God's Fridge Door. We would not take literally the psalmist's assertion that "The Lord is my rock, my fortress." (Psalm 18:2) God is certainly like a rock and like a fortress, common themes in the psalms. Yet no sensible Christian for a moment believes God is actually a rock or a fortress.
Most of the 101 entries rely on contemporary metaphors and similes, using concepts unavailable in Jesus' time. A few entries, though, are parables with a modern-day lesson, such as the one about the man with the laptop that he couldn't connect to his home network. Or the lesson to be drawn from an ailing centipede, who had gout in each of his hundred legs.
This diverse content, presented in an easy-going journalistic style, will attract and retain reader interest, with faith-related lessons drawn from individuals as diverse as Olympic long jumper Bob Beamon and US Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and topics such as flying fish, hardware stores, and entropy. And God's fridge door, of course.
