Book excerpt: Using insights from the brain science of emotions, Love Beyond Belief: Finding the Access Point to Spiritual Awareness narrates two millennia of lost-and-found stories about love beyond belief as the access point to the heart and soul of spiritual life. Many of today's "spiritual but not religious" people - one in four US adults - have found the access point to spiritual experience that Western Christianity lost: unconditional love. Love Beyond Belief tracks the history of this lost emotion. Thandeka has written Love Beyond Belief with two goals in mind: to resolve the emotional-deficit problem in so many "corpse cold" (Ralph Waldo Emerson s words) mainline congregations today; and to offer a primer for "spiritual but not religious" people to build up and network their spiritual communities. "Thandeka has written a book of rigorous scholarship, brilliant original insight, and great practical importance. ... Having read it, I will never be able to think of my theological heritage in the same way again. ... Thandeka sees in the emergence of the "spiritual but not religious" community a great potential for her goal of "love beyond belief." She has demonstrated in practice how, by paying close attention to the affects, dying established churches can come alive. She hopes that those who are alienated from these churches, often for excellent reasons, can develop community activities that will lead them to experience love beyond belief. With her leadership and the support of progressive churches, perhaps this project will succeed." -From the foreword by John B. Cobb, Jr., Center for Process Studies

I fell for her smile. My story is ordinary like yours, But situations are so different. That makes it special, I belong to a small and poor family with a tag of scheduled caste and She was exactly opposite to my status. Rich, bold, courageous born in orthodoxy Brahmin family. if you see, it wasn't even a perfect match but love could happen to anyone. We met for the first time in catering college. Our story started there. We were so close But never had the opportunity to express our feelings. There were many situations in which We felt for each other. But circumstances never had their ways in . We faced a lot of hardship. Her love was true in all dimensions sometimes I had disbelief and sometimes she had. The situation kept digging and checking inside our heart whether it was or not. Through this wonderful journey, You will realize the true love can't be confined to a cage. It's beyond faith, It's beyond restrictions, It's beyond any cast and religion. In the later part of the story, you might feel I am being selfish but that's how human nature would be. My story will bring excitement to you.

Book excerpt: "You are loved beyond words. Do you yet realize this? The sun rises in your honor. The moon beams its smile upon you each night. The earth revolves around you. You are the center of the universe, the heart of the world. You are the love that you seek." So begins the first of 365 messages from Sanaya, a spirit-teacher in the tradition of White Eagle and Silver Birch. "You are loved beyond words," she says, and reading this collection, you will feel love beyond words, for the messages contained here carry an energy that is felt intuitively and intimately, coming as they do from a dimension beyond the physical world. Those who know and love Sanaya believe that she is speaking directly to them. She is, for, as Sanaya says, there is only One Mind. Reading Sanaya's words, you will feel as if you are being consoled and counseled by a concerned and loving friend, connected with the essence of your true self. Love Beyond Words will answer your most basic questions about life and give you reason for reflection. In this collection of spiritual wisdom, Sanaya addresses universal concerns while speaking directly to your heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays presents groundbreaking work from an interdisciplinary group of leading theorists and scholars representing the fields of history, philosophy, political science, sociology, and anthropology. The volume will introduce readers to some of the most compelling new conceptual and theoretical understandings of secularism and the secular, while also examining socio-political trends involving the relationship between the religious and the secular from a variety of locations across the globe. In recent decades, the public has become increasingly aware of the important role religious commitments play in the cultural, social, and political dynamics of domestic and world affairs. This so called ''resurgence'' of religion in the public sphere has elicited a wide array of responses, including vehement opposition to the very idea that religious reasons should ever have a right to expression in public political debate. The current global landscape forces scholars to reconsider not only once predominant understandings of secularization, but also the definition and implications of secular assumptions and secularist positions. The notion that there is no singular secularism, but rather a range of multiple secularisms, is one of many emerging efforts to reconceptualize the meanings of religion and the secular. Rethinking Secularism surveys these efforts and helps to reframe discussions of religion in the social sciences by drawing attention to the central issue of how ''the secular'' is constituted and understood. It provides valuable insight into how new understandings of secularism and religion shape analytic perspectives in the social sciences, politics, and international affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rate of interfaith marriage in the United States has risen so radically since the sixties that it is difficult to recall how taboo the practice once was. How is this development understood and regarded by Americans generally, and what does it tell us about the nation's religious life? Drawing on ethnographic and historical sources, Samira K. Mehta provides a fascinating analysis of wives, husbands, children, and their extended families in interfaith homes; religious leaders; and the social and cultural milieu surrounding mixed marriages among Jews, Catholics, and Protestants. Mehta's eye-opening look at the portrayal of interfaith families across American culture since the mid-twentieth century ranges from popular TV shows, holiday cards, and humorous guides to "Chrismukkah" to children's books, young adult fiction, and religious and secular advice manuals. Mehta argues that the emergence of multiculturalism helped generate new terms by which interfaith families felt empowered to shape their lived religious practices in ways and degrees previously unknown. They began to intertwine their religious identities without compromising their social standing. This rich portrait of families living diverse religions together at home advances the understanding of how religion functions in American society today.

The author draws from Christianity's sacramental consciousness of baptism, loving service of the Yamuna River in Hinduism, and the compassionate wisdom of the bodhisattva to develop 'an integral approach to water ethics.' Building on but distinct from the foundation laid by Christiana Zenner's Just Water, this book is a welcome addition to the growing field of concern surrounding global water crises"--

Book excerpt: When God created Adam and Eve, He did not build a church or organize a religion. He created them for relationship. So, He simply walked and talked with them and they walked and talked with Him. When Adam and Eve sinned, they were ushered out of the Garden, not thrown out of a church. Sin damaged the relationship that Jesus died to restore. What was true in Eden remains true for all eternity: A love relationship with us is all God ever wanted.
