Sinossi

Mystic Orders explores the captivating realm of religious brotherhoods and secret societies, examining their profound, yet often hidden, influence on history. Delving into the core of these esoteric traditions, the book uncovers how spiritual practices, such as meditative techniques and ritualistic ceremonies, bind members and drive their actions. It also reveals the internal hierarchies governing these groups, highlighting the power dynamics that enable them to maintain secrecy and exert influence.

 
The book argues that understanding these mystic orders provides crucial insights into the evolution of religious thought and the dynamics of power throughout history. For example, some orders emerged as dissenting voices within established religions, triggering significant social change.

 
The book progresses through an introduction of key concepts, followed by case studies of prominent orders across religions like Sufi brotherhoods and Kabbalistic circles, and culminates in a synthesis of their historical impact and modern relevance. By examining diverse religious movements and spiritual practices, Mystic Orders provides a valuable lens for understanding the interplay between religion, power, and society. It traces these brotherhoods' involvement in pivotal events, emphasizing their role in shaping the world, and offers an objective analysis, drawing from historical chronicles and religious texts to illuminate the hidden influences of religious brotherhoods.

    “I have counted the days until you would return to my waiting arms, my insistent kisses.  
    But now I know you never will...” 
    On a rainy hike by Loch Lomond, Eve Waldman stumbles upon a perfectly preserved journal in a hidden cave. The time-worn lettering details the illicit affair of two Jewish lovers that sent a shiver of shame through a Scottish family — and echoes down the bloodlines.  
    Born of Highland aristocracy, Mac Monteith prefers to spend his days behind the bar of the family pub, rather than live the life his parents desired for him. Then Eve walks through the door, stirring more than Mac’s long-dormant heart. 
    When Eve traces the cave documents to the Monteith line, scandals and secrets spill out from all sides. Eve remains committed to the truth, but when being truthful means hurting the man she loves, she is forced to make a bigger choice: righting the wrongs of the past, or building the future she’s yearned for. 
    A contemporary romance with hints of magical realism, Cave of Secrets is about family heritage, intergenerational trauma, and finding the courage to be honest with ourselves — and those who love us. 
    “A masterful blend of suspense, romance, and self-discovery, CAVE OF SECRETS is the tale of an intrepid young archivist’s pursuit of history, unveiling a secret love affair and a powerful family’s hidden Jewish roots. Gorgeous prose will bring you to the edge of your seat...” 
    Lisa Williamson Rosenberg, author of Embers on the Wind 
    "Cave of Secrets is an engaging, thought-provoking read, illustrating the power of courage to unveil past secrets, make tough choices and live an authentic life against all odds." Annie Cathryn, author of The Friendship Breakup

    At its heart, Ignatian spirituality is practical and experiential, offering modern audiences a structure for pursuing inner growth that results in transformed action. While it is a deeply contemplative practice, Ignatian spirituality appeals to many of us who are looking for purpose and meaning, and who are wondering how to live out that purpose in a way that addresses the brokenness of our world. 
     
     
     
    At the heart of this thoughtful introduction to Ignatian spirituality are the Spiritual Exercises, developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola of Spain. Using ordinary language, these meditations point to the ways in which this spiritual path not only "grows our souls" but also inspires us to defend human rights, respect and listen to other cultures, find common ground between science and religion, struggle for justice, and honor a Divine Spirit who is actively at work in each aspect of our world. As twenty-first-century spiritual seekers, we do not need to be Jesuits, Catholics, or even Christians to make use of Ignatius's methods; some of history's most important thinkers—from René Descartes to Carl Jung—were influenced and inspired by the Spiritual Exercises. Let them guide you to transformation in the ordinary, everyday world.

    This four-volume work entitled Treasures from the Book of Mormon, was originally prepared as a university course, but each volume is easy and comfortable to listen to and has therefore proven highly popular with seminary students and those preparing for missions. It is also used extensively as a "Come Follow Me" course of study for adults. This audiobook is a narration of the Book of Mormon along with historical commentary by W. Cleon Skousen, who taught the Book of Mormon at Brigham Young University for many years. The narration of the scriptural verses is by the spiritually compelling voice of Wendell Noble.
