What if you could heal relationships, break through strongholds, and be free of the shackles that bind you to negative experiences from your past? What if you learned to use your challenging emotions as a portal to a higher way of being? Kindred’s quest shows how she transformed both traumatic crises and everyday trials into diamonds of insight, healing, and well-being—permanently. Although her experiences with death, divorce, addiction, parenting challenges, conflict-ridden relationships, and personal failures bound her to inner fear and pain, she reveals the paradigm shift that allowed her to experience divine love and release suffering and burdens.

First published in 1974 Beyond the Gods argues that true mystics transcend religious boundaries, and that Eastern mysticism has increasing relevance for the troubled minds and spirits of the West. Blofeld’s approach is a highly personal one based on encounters with monks, lamas, and recluses in their mountain retreats. He also includes a vivid description of the Chinese religious scene and chapters on the mystical practices of Taoism, Ch’an (Zen) and the Tantric Buddhism of Tibet. The book seeks to answer broader questions like – what has Eastern mysticism to offer the West, how can we free ourselves from the pressures of modern life or benefit from eastern methods of cultivating the sublime mystical experience? This is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of Buddhism, Taoism, and religion in general.

When life becomes complicated with problems too painful to face, we seek refuge -- we turn to God as a way of turning off the world. For Dr. Hall, prayer is more than a shield from trouble or a source of comfort. He calls Christians to experience exciting prayer possibilities that lift us out of our self-concern into a vital worldly stewardship in harmony with the purpose of the gospel.Rather than a Òhow toÓ guide, this thoughtful study asks two significant questions: ÒWhat is prayer?Ó and ÒWhat should we be doing when we pray?Ó Exploring the nature of prayer and the relationship between prayer, thought, and action, Hall observes, ÒLove for God and love for the world are not alternatives; they are part of the same seamless robe.Ó Through prayer, ÒGod separates us from the world in order to send us back into the world with renewed spiritsÉÓThese Bible-based perspectives challenge believers to develop more disciplined, thought-directed prayer. This is the kind of prayer that leads us to act in obedience to Christ -- to love, comfort, and forgive others; to liberate those suffering oppression much greater than our own; and to mature in discipleship to the world.
