The Edinburgh and Dore Lectures by Thomas Troward

The Edinburgh and Dore Lectures on Mental Science

by Thomas Troward

The lectures in this book were one of the earliest (1904-1909) explanations of how our minds control our lives. Unlike many of todays books on positive thinking -- which focus on material success -- this is a deeply spiritual book.

The philosopher William James characterized Troward's Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science as "far and away the ablest statement of philosophy I have met, beautiful in its sustained clearness of thought and style, a classic statement." It must be remembered in reading Troward that he was a product of his time. His books use scientific jargon that was present around 1900. He was raised in the Church of England and had read the Bible daily from boyhood.

Thomas Troward will be remembered as a pioneer of the New Thought movement from his contribution of a few small volumes that have had a profound effect on the understanding and development of spiritual metaphysics. His philosophy played a major role in the work of prominent New Thought teachers such as Emmet Fox and Ernest Holmes.


A More Ardent Fire by Eknath Easwaran (February_2010)

A More Ardent Fire

FROM EVERYDAY LOVE TO LOVE OF GOD

By Eknath Easwaran

A More Ardent Fire is the book chosen to accompany the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa theme for the month of February 2010

Our deepest need it to love completely, universally, without reservation - in other words, to become love itself. Where there is love, everything follows. To love is to know, is to act; all other paths to God are united in this path of love.

In form a verse-by-verse reading of a chapter on devotion from the Bhagavad Gita - the most popular spiritual document of India - Eknath Easwaran's words of practical wisdom guide us through the nitty-gritty challenges of everyday love, showing:

  • How to deepen our love for all those around us
  • How to seek the divine in all our relationships
  • What it means to "love the Lord"
  • Why it is so difficult to change entrenched habits - and how to make those changes
  • Effective spiritual practices for learning to love

"It is through deepening and strengthening our capacity to love those around us that we travel the most direct route to love of God."
It`s Okay to Be Different by Todd Parr

It's Okay to Be Different

by Todd Parr

For anyone who ever doubted it, Todd Parr is here to tell us all that it's okay to be different. With his signature artistic style, featuring brightly colored, childlike figures outlined in heavy black, Parr shows readers over and over that just about anything goes. From the sensitive ("It's okay to be adopted"--the accompanying illustration shows a kangaroo with a puppy in her pouch) to the downright silly ("It's okay to eat macaroni and cheese in the bathtub"), kids of every shape, size, color, family makeup, and background will feel included in this gentle, witty book. In this simple, playful celebration of diversity, Parr doesn't need to hammer readers over the head with his message.
