  Trust Thyself and Awaken the Divinity Within.
  
  Ralph Waldo Emerson was the "Sage of Concord" and the intellectual father of the American Renaissance. At a time of rigid social and religious tradition, he issued a radical call for individual autonomy and a direct, unmediated relationship with the universe. This comprehensive collection brings together his most influential essays, lectures, and poetry, offering a timeless blueprint for living with purpose, integrity, and intellectual freedom.
  
  This collection explores the pillars of Emerson's revolutionary thought:
  
  The Gospel of Self-Reliance: Discover the classic arguments for non-conformity, intuition, and the courage to follow one's own internal compass against the tide of public opinion.
  
  Nature as a Mirror of the Soul: Explore Emerson's profound belief that the natural world is a physical manifestation of the spiritual, serving as the ultimate teacher for those who know how to see.
  
  The Concept of the Over-Soul: Delve into the metaphysical heart of Transcendentalism—the idea of a collective, divine unity that flows through all living things.
  
  The Power of the Intellect and Art: Engage with his visions for a truly original American culture, urging scholars and creators to stop looking toward the past and begin building a new future.
  
  Emerson's prose is characterized by its "radiant" energy and aphoristic brilliance. His work served as the catalyst for a new American identity, influencing figures from Henry David Thoreau to Walt Whitman. This volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of philosophy, spirituality, and classic American thought.

  The Hidden Face of Pope Francis

  Paul Ariès

  Why did Pope Francis canonize a priest responsible for the genocide of the Indians?
  Why does he wish to beatify the anti-Semitic French priest, Leon Dehon?  
  What are the unmentionable reasons for his papal election? 
  Pope Francis is presented as progressive and sensitive to the interests of the people, but underneath his smiles and his good words hides an authoritarian and dogmatic pope. This pope relies on very conservative movements such as Communion and Liberation or the Order of the Knights of Columbus, which are close to Opus Dei. 
  The good Pope Francis is beginning to drop his mask when he declares that Europe is undergoing a new Arab invasion (sic), when he calls on "Catholics with a sense of identity" to take to the streets, when he fights against republican secularism and demonizes atheists.
  After an overview of the financial, political and sexual scandals, Paul Ariès proceeds to a very detailed and documented analysis of the "Church of Francis," particularly in the areas of ecology and sexuality. This clear book offers a surprising insight into the best communicator the Church has known in a long time.

  Hypnosis - Unlocking the Power...

  Hypnosis has long captured the imagination of people worldwide. From ancient shamanic rituals to modern therapeutic practices, the concept of influencing the subconscious mind has evolved significantly. But what is hypnosis, and why does it hold such intrigue? This chapter sets the stage for an exploration of hypnosis, dispelling myths, uncovering truths, and providing a foundation for understanding its power and potential.  
    
  At its core, hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often accompanied by deep relaxation. Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not about losing control or being at the mercy of someone else’s will. Instead, it is a collaborative process in which the subject actively engages with their subconscious mind. Hypnosis allows access to a realm of untapped potential within us, where behaviors, emotions, and even memories reside.  
    
  One of the most persistent myths surrounding hypnosis is its portrayal as mystical or magical. Popular culture has often depicted hypnotists as enigmatic figures wielding a pendulum to control unsuspecting subjects. These dramatizations have fueled skepticism and fear, overshadowing the scientific principles that underpin hypnosis. Understanding hypnosis requires recognizing that it is a natural phenomenon deeply rooted in human psychology and neuroscience.

  ★ Publishers Weekly starred review 
   
  "Marshaling fine-grained historical detail and scrupulous analysis, Hardwick persuades."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
  As a Black autistic pastor and disability scholar, Lamar Hardwick lives at the intersection of disability, race, and religion. Tied to this reality, he heeded the call to write How Ableism Fuels Racism to help Christian communities engage in critical conversations about race by addressing issues of ableism. 
   
  Hardwick believes that ableism--the idea that certain bodies are better than others--and the disability discrimination fueled by this perspective are the root causes of racial bias and injustice in American culture and in the church. Here, he uses historical records, biblical interpretation, and disability studies to examine how ableism in America led to the creation of images, idols, and institutions that perpetuate both disability and racial discrimination. 
   
  He then goes a step further, calling the church into action to address the deep-seated issues of ableism that started it all and offering practical steps to help readers dismantle ableism and racism both in attitude and practice.
