  As the first Black woman to anchor the Boston-area evening news, Liz Walker found herself in an industry that defined the neighborhood of Roxbury largely by violence. But when she became a pastor there, Walker grew close to households marked not only by trauma but by courage—including the family of Cory Johnson, a young father who was murdered. In the wake of their worst nightmare, the family reached out for help. 
   
   
   
  As Walker's congregation invited neighbors to gather, they created soft spaces for others' grief to land. There, in the stories told, the meals shared, the tears shed, and the silences kept, people found a space to receive their sorrow. Out of this ministry grew a grassroots trauma-healing program, one now being replicated across the country. 
   
   
   
  Through this groundbreaking book, begin to imagine what story-sharing groups might look like in your context. Face the disparity of grief that comes from racism and systemic inequality, and learn to confront legacies of harm. Discover the healing power of listening, as well as the art and skills of accompanying someone in pain. Further, grasp how caregivers, pastors, counselors, and other healers—many with their own wounds—can benefit from soft spaces too.

  Original Sin Is A Lie - How...

  “Original sin” is a lie. Jesus, a deeply profound teacher of Love and Unity, never said a thing about “original sin”. It’s a doctrine invented by Augustine of Hippo over three hundred years later. 
  While there are certainly issues within institutional religion, upon textual examination and spiritual contemplation; there are also beautiful, enduring teachings of collective harmony and inner transformation. Underneath layers of ego, the real message shines through. 
  “Truth is One; 
  The sages call it by many names.” 
  —Rig Veda 
  In this book, author Bob Peck takes us through his own highlights of the “spiritual buffet line”: from present-embracing Zen Buddhists to insightful Indigenous shamans and compassionate karma yogis. He explores the Avatar doctrine of the Bhagavad Gita, the Work of Byron Katie, new science in relation to spirit, and the true loving message of Jesus. 
  As Peck articulates, the Bible is not infallible, but in certain moments it does point to the Reality of Who We Are; as does Sri Ramana Maharshi, Carl Jung, Anandamayi Ma, the Gospel of Thomas, Dōgen, and A Course in Miracles. 
  From psychedelics to ‘the illusion’, to Peck’s own learnings along the way, Original Sin Is A Lie is here to point us to a rich spectrum of mystic wisdom across the spiritual traditions and ultimately help us uncover our True Nature. What else is there to do?

  Asatru For Beginners - A Pagan...

  Imagine a world where everybody followed a set of morals and virtues that made us all better, where we worked as kindred to solve goals and create a successful society for everyone to live in peace. Asatru is the religion of such people. It doesn't dictate or punish its followers but encourages us to be the best we can be. So, I hear you ask, how does that relate to Norsemen and their Viking counterparts? It may surprise you that even these most violent warriors and marauders had a moral code that meant they respected the oaths they took and were at heart family men and successful farmers. Times were different then, and the Norse people were pressured to leave their old ways behind and become Christians. They fought back, refused to comply, and saw the newly formed Christian churches as a fair game. Modern pagans understand that the old ways worked for them, but the morals behind their actions are as important and true today as they were then. So, forget what you know about the Norse people and begin to learn what relevance their beliefs have in today's society. Asatru and the Norse ways are waiting for you to embrace them and follow in the footsteps of your ancestors.

  If the Church Were Christian -...

  While many denominations claim to be growing, the largest group in American religious life is the disillusioned—people who have been involved in the church yet see few similarities between the church's life and the person of Jesus. In the midst of elaborate programming, professional worship teams, and political crusades, they ask, ""Is this really what Jesus called us to do?"" 
  While the church has dismissed these people as uncommitted and lacking in faith, perhaps the opposite is true. Their commitment to authentic spirituality over institutional idolatry might be the very corrective the church needs. These people respect Jesus, but question what Christianity has become. 
  In If the Church Were Christian, Quaker pastor and author Philip Gulley explores how the church has lost its way. This eye-opening examination of the values of Jesus reveals the extent to which the church has drifted from the teachings of the man who inspired its creation. Many Christians might be surprised to discover how little Jesus had to say about the church, and that he might never have intended to start a new religion. 
  But the church is here to stay, and Gulley is determined to help the church find its soul. If the church were Christian, Gulley argues, affirming our potential would be more important than condemning our brokenness. If the church were Christian, inviting questions would be valued more than supplying answers. If the church were Christian, meeting needs would be more important than maintaining institutions.  
  These simple statements return us to the heart of what Jesus cared about during his ministry. Gulley provides a profound picture of what the church would look like if it refocused on the real priorities of Jesus.
