    The Gita is a talk between prince Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna. At the start of the Dharma Yudhha (righteous war) between the Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with great moral dilemma and despair about the violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his own kin. He wonders if he should renounce and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action".The Krishna–Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war Arjuna faces. According to some, Bhagavad Gita is written by Lord Ganesha and was told to him by Vyasa. The setting of the Gita is a great battlefield. The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis of ideas about dharma, theistic bhakti, and the yogic ideals of moksha.The text covers jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga. The Gita's call for selfless action inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including Mahatma Gandhi; the latter referred to it as his "spiritual dictionary.

    This magical, true and epic story is a wild ride through adventures around the world with explorations of other-dimensional realms and beings. The author’s wisdom gained through decades-long self-experimentations with non-ordinary states of consciousness are integrated in this book that shows how tangible projects such as films and activist movements can readily manifest when we follow our dreams.  
    In this fascinating story, Omananda describes how he lived with indigenous medicine tribes in Mexico, the Huicholes. These ancient medicine cultures have used psychoactive cacti, like the peyote, to pray in sacred ceremonies. The author spent years making films that, together with the combined effort of passionate people, helped to kick out billion dollar Canadian mining companies from Mexico that were in direct violation of the law and a threat to the indigenous cultures. The German-born author and filmmaker transmits what he has learned about the indigenous ways of life. 
    In the first two books of this series, readers experienced more travel stories and less contemplative content, but in this third part, channeled information appears in periodic intervals and the author gets more philosophical towards the end of the book where he lists easy-to-practice, non-religious, yet powerful, spiritual methods and exercises for personal transformation.  
    When Dream and Reality Merge into ONE is the continuation of the author’s transcendental journeys. Character names have been changed to protect the individuals' privacy. Everything else remains authentic to the facts as it was experienced.

    How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
    Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
    In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
    In Faithful Politics, you'll find
    
    - Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
    - A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
    - Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
    Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.
