Synopsis

"We are in the business of seeing others, seeing them the way God sees them, and letting them know they have value."
Amy L. Williams has spent three decades doing ministry with youth in gangs and prisons. While most of society sees high-risk youth through lenses of fear or disregard, she has come to see them through God's eyes as having tremendous value and potential. Worth Seeing provides an up-close look at her work—successes, losses, lessons, and embarrassing mistakes. Through personal narrative, Amy reveals the lives of youth who are often pushed to the margins of society. Her storytelling both challenges perceptions and increases compassion and understanding, not just with youth, but all people. Practical tips equip you to take action to see others the way God sees them.

    Religio Medici and Hydriotaphia

    Religio Medici (The Religion of a Doctor) sets out Sir Thomas Browne's spiritual testament as well as being an early psychological self-portrait. In its day, the book was a European best-seller. It was published in 1643 by the newly-qualified physician, and its unorthodox views placed it swiftly upon the Papal Index Librorum Prohibitorum in 1645. Although predominantly concerned with Christian faith, the Religio also meanders into digressions upon alchemy, hermetic philosophy, astrology, and physiognomy. 
     
    Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial, or a Discourse of the Sepulchral Urns lately found in Norfolk, was published in 1658. Its nominal subject was the discovery of a Roman urn burial in Norfolk. The discovery of these remains prompts Browne to deliver, first, a careful description of the antiquities found, and then a careful survey of most of the burial and funerary customs, ancient and current, of which his era was aware. The most famous part of the work, though, is the fifth chapter, where Browne quite explicitly turns to discuss man's struggles with mortality, and the uncertainty of his fate and fame in this world and the next, to produce an extended funerary meditation tinged with melancholia. The changes wrought by time and eternity, the fleetingness of mortal fame, and our feeble attempts to cope with the certainty of death are Browne's subjects. Yet, at the same time, Browne can be tersely witty, mocking human vainglory. A piece of exquisite baroque prose that George Saintsbury called "the longest piece, perhaps, of absolutely sublime rhetoric to be found in the prose literature of the world," Hydriotaphia displays an astonishing command of English prose rhythm and diction.

    Prayers and Poems provides a snapshot of what life was like for the author as a busy householder on the path in the 1980s. The strains of career and family life served as fuel for powerful bhakti (devotion) during those years, leading to a transformation. This was after 15 years of meditation, and the addition of powerful techniques now found in the extensive instructional AYP writings. The events described here occurred 15 years before the AYP lessons began, which have continued for another 20 years. This book records a “middle stage” turning point on the author’s path, and it is shared with love. 
    Yogani is the author of ground-breaking books on highly effective spiritual practices, including Advanced Yoga Practices - Easy Lessons for Ecstatic Living (two comprehensive user-friendly textbooks), The AYP Plus Lessons (covering nearly 1000 lessons on practice), and The Secrets of Wilder (a powerful spiritual novel). 
    The AYP Enlightenment Series makes these profound practices available for the first time in a full-scope series of concise instruction books.
