    A study of the spiritual practices developed by the nineteenth-century American Transcendentalist movement and a case for their necessity today. 
     
     
     
    "The stern old faiths have all pulverized," Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in 1860. "'Tis a whole population of gentlemen and ladies out in search of religions." Often seen as a mainspring of the nineteenth-century literary tradition and the preserve of New England intellectuals in retreat from society, American Transcendentalism is more accurately described as a religious movement. In Transcendentalism and the Cultivation of the Soul, Barry M. Andrews shows how Transcendentalists developed rich spiritual practices, nurtured their souls, and discovered the divine. The practices they adopted are common and simple—among them, keeping journals, contemplation, walking, reading, simple living, and conversation. As Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller, and others pursued meaningful and rewarding spiritual lives, they were inspired to fight for abolition, women's rights, and education reform. In approachable and accessible prose, Andrews uncovers a wealth of spiritual practices that are of particular value for today's spiritual seekers and religious liberals.

    A straight stud is starting to break… 
    Wade still struts around school in his varsity jacket like he’s the king of the world. Laughing it up with his jock buddies. Making out with his cheerleader girlfriend. Bullying the “queers”. But behind the eyes he’s starting to get desperate. 
    Wade hasn’t had sex in a week. Any kind of sex. Not since I put his manhood under lock and key. I wonder how much longer he can take it. Another day? Two? Pretty soon, the frustration will be too much, and he’ll do anything I want just to get some release. 
    There’s only one problem: 
    It turns out that I’m not the only one who has Wade in training. And somebody else wants to break him first.

    Unlike people with carefree previous lives, I packed away my past. There are some memories labeled 'Look at', and others 'Leave well alone' . . . 
     
     
     
    Emily Smith was held in a prison of fear for ten years. When she was four, her father left and a new man was brought into her life. He loved her, he kept telling her so, but the emotional and physical abuse she suffered at his hands were a daily nightmare. Until one day, after he crept into her bedroom, her life became unbearable. 
     
     
     
    Emily found she was different in another way as her autism became more noticeable and punishments for her 'abnormal' behavior more severe. Astonishingly, she managed to escape her home of hell, where she was abused right in front of her mother. Emily determinedly gained a university place and emerged triumphant with a new life and family in Ireland, desperate to treat her daughter, so similar to her, to a different life. 
     
     
     
    Heartbreakingly true, Silent Child is a testament to Emily's strength as she sheds light on rampant abuse still happening today. Powerful and shocking, sharing her story means she finally has a voice to say: enough. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
