Sinopse

In "Solomon and Solomonic Literature," Moncure Daniel Conway delves deeply into the multifaceted representation of King Solomon and the body of literature associated with him. Through a meticulous examination of biblical texts, apocryphal writings, and various historical interpretations, Conway employs a rich, analytical style that intertwines literary criticism with philosophical inquiry. This work is set against the backdrop of 19th-century thought, where the idealized nature of Solomon serves as a mirror for contemporary societal values and intellectual pursuits, making for a compelling analysis that transcends mere historical account. Moncure Daniel Conway, a prominent American abolitionist, minister, and biographer, draws upon his diverse background to infuse his work with a critical perspective on power, wisdom, and morality. His experiences as a Unitarian preacher and a vocal advocate for social justice imbue the text with a profound ethical dimension, as Conway interrogates the implications of Solomon's legacy in the modern world. His insightful synthesis of Judeo-Christian tradition and rational thought enables him to approach these ancient texts with a progressive lens. This book is essential for readers interested in biblical studies, literature, and the philosophical implications of historical figures. Conway's erudition and engaging prose make "Solomon and Solomonic Literature" not only a scholarly resource but also an invitation to reflect on the enduring significance of Solomon's wisdom in today's society.

    Combined Volume — Books One and Two of the Love and Devotion Series 
    A quiet light lives within us all. It calls us home through love, devotion, and longing. 
    In this deeply spiritual and poetic volume, Donna Goddard brings together two luminous works—The Love of Being Loving and The Love of Devotion—offering a heartfelt journey into the soul’s awakening. 
    In The Love of Being Loving, we are gently guided through the early stages of spiritual growth, where healing begins with forgiveness, clarity, and a return to love as our natural state. 
    In The Love of Devotion, the path deepens. Here, devotion is not a discipline, but a surrender. It is the joy of alignment with divine presence—the stillness that heals, the love that asks nothing, and the beauty that shines beneath all appearances. 
    Together, these books invite us to become a beneficial presence in the world—not by striving, but by remembering who we truly are.

    Book media-giant Kirkus says, “Impassioned, extensive, and dense. Well versed in esoteric topics ranging from alchemy to past lives to Kundalini energy; The author expresses his truth with a desire to help the reader think beyond what they might expect to find in common accounts of spiritual searching. It is clear that Krishnanand has reasons for sharing it all.” 
    On June 19, 2013 I was killed. 
    Dead in the street... Mangled, bloody and…               
    DEAD. 
       Life can go from light to dark in an instant. 
    Krishnanand catapulted to the other side when he was hit in the face by a full-size SUV. While he remained in a Stage 3 Glasgow coma for nine days, he remained fully conscious in a celestial dimension he now calls The Portal—what Tibetan Buddhists call The Bardo and what Vedic/Sanskrit philosophy calls The Akashic Records.  
    He awoke without an identity, having no recall of his name, his partner of 11 years, or his 20-year-old son. Krishnanand’s traumatic brain    injury and near-death experience persisted for over nine years. The only thing that sustained him was his ability to connect—at will—to The Portal dimension where he receives guidance from akashic-agents (angels) of destiny.  
    This groundbreaking memoir fuses this world’s most ancient and authentic spiritual paths with a contemporary understanding. It is a portal to spiritual awareness that transcends religion, yet remains devoted to the Eternal Truths of all spiritual paths. You will see how to apply Eternal Truths of spirituality into worldly life in order to progress on the Soul’s Journey toward Divine Love Consciousness.

    Some people are lucky enough to get paid to do what they love. But many are not. 
     
     
     
    What if your vocation doesn't align with your passion? In You Have a Calling, award-winning author Karen Swallow Prior has encouraging news: If we pursue the good, true, and beautiful in all our work, we will find our greatest fulfillment. 
     
     
     
    In an age when passion and calling are often confused, Prior helps listeners understand that passions come from within, while our calling, or vocation, comes from without and is about being called by others to serve. That crucial distinction can help us understand how God can use both our passions and our work, even if for different purposes. 
     
     
     
    This book will appeal to everyone who wants to know that their daily work, ordinary though it may be, can fulfill a higher calling to God. Listeners will emerge with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing they are created for virtue in all they do because they are created in the image of God.
