The Thousand Teachings of...

Anthony Alston

The Thousand Teachings is the one work which almost all scholars agree was written by the original Shankaracharya, and which is not a commentary on something else. 
A number of texts that have been attributed to Shankara in the past are now believed to have been written by followers. And the majority of his own writings are commentaries on the Upanishads, Brahma Sutras and Bhagavad Gita. In the Thousand Teachings Shankara quotes these texts but the overall presentation is his own. 
Shankara's principal concerns are always to distinguish the Real from the apparent; to establish the identity of the Self and the Real; to understand and correct the way that juxtaposition of the Real and the apparent leads to false identification and human suffering; and to understand how right knowledge can occur. On these perennial questions, the experience of many enquirers has been that Shankara and those contemporary exponents who do not depart from his core principles, remain the most insightful and reliable of all guides. 
The Thousand Teachings is here freshly translated by A J Alston PhD, a Sanskrit scholar who also complied the six-volume Shankara Source Book, and lifelong member of Shanti Sadan. This version is intended particularly for those who wish to study Shankara's teachings in pursuit of the goal of inner illumination.

Life after God - Finding Faith...

Mark Feldmeir

The understanding of God that many Christians insist is so clear in the Bible makes faith seem like an all-or-nothing proposition. When much of that rigid projection seems in doubt, it's not surprising that many people leave behind this take-it-or-leave-it religion. Pastor Mark Feldmeir offers an introduction to a God that many people weren't aware existed—a mysterious, uncontainable, still-active God who loves and cares for real people with real problems. Life after God offers glimpses of the ineffable God, who can emerge when we forget what we think we're supposed to believe about God and open us up to the mystery, wonder, and compelling love we crave.
