City life can be hectic, fast-paced, jarring to the senses. Many urban souls feel the stirrings of spirituality but don’t have the tools they need to create deeper, more meaningful connections—with themselves and with the world around them. Urban Soul Warrior is an interactive book about living an extraordinary and powerful life, becoming aware of the miraculous state of existence we live in, and using that awareness to live fully, completely, and magnificently. Both a workbook and a sacred space for writing, the book provides simple and effective insights, advice, and creative exercises that are designed to infuse readers’ lives with rich meaning and beauty. Ultimately, the guide works to empower readers to become active participants in the conscious mapping of their own inner journeys. Written in an urban voice, its ancient and modern concepts are intertwined to familiarize readers with techniques to effectively chart the course of the experiences they desire.

Luke is sure his martial arts training is worthless. That's why he quit. But when Dirk and his thugs move into his school, Luke quickly realizes that he may be the only one who can save Lucy, Chuck, and his other friends from their relentless and violent gang. Only Luke can make the ultimate decision to help his friends and stand up to the gang. It's a stark choice, and one he can't make alone. "A Warrior's Soul" is Luke's journey as he struggles to cope with the gang, teachers who don't understand the threat, disbelieving parents, and his own lack of confidence. Will he have the courage to return to the dojo and resume his training? Will he have the wisdom to know when to confront the gang? About the Author SR Staley travels internationally, giving speeches and presentations on a wide range of topics. He is married with two teenage children, and is also the author of the young adult novel "The Pirate of Panther Bay." He currently splits his time between Dayton, Ohio, where he trains at the SKH Quest Center for Martial Arts, and Tallahassee, Florida, where he teaches at Florida State University. Endorsement "Staley's gritty and gripping story brings to life the kind of dilemmas today's kids can face on a daily basis. He also provides important lessons for how martial arts training can become a touchstone in finding our way through life. Bullying is a dirty blight in our society, and Luke's story doesn't shy away from the threats they pose to boys and girls, and the adults in their lives. I enjoyed reading the martial arts action scenes, which are believably intense. As founder of the To-Shin Do martial art, based on Japan's historical ninja defensive combat principles and techniques, I am personally excited to see "A Warrior's Soul" illuminate the impact of modern-day bullying, martial arts, and personal growth." -- Stephen K. Hayes, Black Belt Hall of Fame, Founder, To-Shin Do Martial Arts

I am a member of Christian Stronghold Church, located at 4701 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia, where Dr. Willie Richardson is Senior Pastor and Pastor Christopher Bell Sr. is Assistant Pastor. I crossed over from darkness to light on January 22, 1975, in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been walking the streets of many of our major cities for over forty years, sharing the gospel with primarily young black men. Inside the pages of this book, I share with you much of the statistics and data on the condition of the black man of America. I believe there are many factors involved in shaping him into the condition he is in today. The findings and experience I have undergone don't speak to the condition of all black men, but rather to those who were left fatherless and raised by a single parent or grandparents. Covered also is the gross disparity of the justice system, mass incarceration of black men, why black men are attracted to the Islamic religion, and the failed educational system, which all in many ways contributed to the condition of the fatherless men. I have a deep passion in my soul to help these young men see through the hearing of gospel. They can be delivered from the power of darkness into the kingdom of God (Acts 26:18). In most of the ministries that I serve in, my church consists of working with young problematic men. I teach evangelism in our church institute, teach in drug and alcohol rehabilitation houses, prison ministries, and am leader of a team of men called Urban Soul Warriors, a ministry that goes out in the nighttime hours, reaching out to drug addicts and dealers. We focus our ministry work primarily in the hood, which I consider the most neglected mission field in America.

In this lethally seductive alternate dimension the lines blur between good and evil, love and hate, and here lies the last hope for the Light.

Representing a synthesis of the author’s decades of multidisciplinary work in meditation, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and spirituality, Creating Peace by Being Peace guides readers in creating peace on seven levels of engagement, from the body to the ecology to God. Author Gabriel Cousens addresses the increasingly urgent need to transform humankind with the ancient peace wisdom of the Essenes, a Judaic mystical group that flourished two millennia ago. He begins by explaining the Essenes and the lessons they can teach us as creators of peace. Individual chapters cover a wide range of possibility, from the personal (“Peace with the Mind”) to the political (“Peace with the Community”). The final chapter, "Integrating Peace on Every Level," presents a comprehensive plan for peace with the body, mind, family, community, culture, ecology, and God as a pervasive experience in life—moment to moment, day by day. Cousens blends documentary evidence with original interpretation to show that the Essenes actually did live this experience of peace. Most importantly, he transfers their gift to modern seekers as a breathing blueprint for realizing this reality as we walk in our lives; work according to our gifts, joys, and sacred design; and live the path of spiritual awakening—the sevenfold peace.
