Two decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism, nearly everyone is or at least should be aware of the immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatched when Karl Marx penned his Communist Manifesto two centuries ago. Far too many people, however, separate Marx the man from the evils wrought by the oppressive ideology and theory that bears his name.

When all appears lost, the miraculous power of the atonement of Jesus Christ can heal in the most unlikely places and in the most unlikely ways. In a world where addiction has become the epidemic of despair, Between Monsters and Mercy is the incredible true story of author Kelly Thompson's struggle to overcome drug abuse, escape from her life as a prostitute, and leave behind the loneliness and isolation that accompany them.

In this short book, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz invite you to join an urgently needed conversation: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem drawn to extremism? What do words like Islamism, jihadism, and fundamentalism mean in today's world? Remarkable for the breadth and depth of its analysis, this dialogue between a famous atheist and a former radical is all the more startling for its decorum. Harris and Nawaz have produced something genuinely new: they engage one of the most polarizing issues of our time - fearlessly and fully - and actually make progress.

The Dark Night of the Soul explores not only the torments and elations of a soul’s spiritual journey, but also expounds on man’s relationship with God and the natural longing for union with the Creator. Known as a doctor of mysticism, St. John of the Cross uniquely and profoundly delves into the intimidating world of spirituality and Christianity. In this work there are ideas explored that bring light to the deep afflictions of the soul as well as the true exaltation and joy that occurs closer on the path to communion with God.

At first, he finds failure - until he receives a special gift from someone he has not seen in half a century. He then returns triumphantly to his homeland to write his own 10 vows of success to be shared with all who seek a better life - including you. 

Jesus said, leave your material belongings to follow me. Televangelists say money is proof that Jesus loves you, and we accept all major credit cards. I once went to a church in San Diego, and the preacher's sermon was on tithing and how "we need to tithe and not be a spiritual leach". I never went back to church again. Well, that and some other reasons, for such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Lo studioso di antropologia troverà nelle leggende, nei costumi e nella storia di tutti i popoli le testimonianze delle guarigioni ottenute per mezzo di qualche forma di pratiche occulte. Queste forme di terapia hanno molto differenziato fra esse: dalle ripugnanti pratiche delle più barbare superstizioni fino alle più raffinate forme di procedura che si trovano in alcuni dei più moderni culti metafisici d'oggi.

L'Aura umana costituisce una parte molto interessante degli insegnamenti occulti, e riferimenti ad essa si possono trovare negli scritti e nelle tradizioni di tutte le razze umane Ma molta confusione e molti malintesi sono sorti a riguardo dell'Aura umana e la verità è stata oscurata dalle varie speculazioni esposte da coloro che hanno scritto su questo soggetto. Ma non vi è da stupirci di ciò se consideriamo che quest'Aura è visibile soltanto a coloro che hanno altamente sviluppati i poteri psichici.

L'Abbé de Lamennais était tourné vers une pensée chrétienne tolérante et libérée. Il était même qualifié de révolutionnaire. Paroles d'un croyant, qui fut sévèrement condamné par l'Église, en appelle d'ailleurs à l'insurrection contre l'injustice au nom de l'Évangile.

For nearly a thousand years following its foundation, there was only one Christian church. Centered in the city of Rome, the church expanded and grew until it became the dominant religion in Europe and beyond. The early growth of the Church had been suppressed by the Romans until the Emperor Constantine became the first to convert the empire to Christianity. From that point forward, the growth of the Church was inextricably linked with the Roman Empire - the most powerful military, economic, and political force in the ancient world.

The United States is recognized as the most religiously diverse country in the world, and yet its laws and customs, which many have come to see as normal features of American life, actually keep the constitutional ideal of “religious freedom for all” from becoming a reality. Christian beliefs, norms, and practices infuse our society; they are embedded in our institutions, creating the structures and expectations that define the idea of “Americanness.”

"Cet ouvrage de quelques heures pour livrer une histoire - presque complète - de l'islam politique. Cette idéologie qui est née et qui a évolué dans l'ombre de la Grande Histoire de la civilisation musulmane s'est nourrie, à chaque époque, de contextes particuliers et de luttes intestines. Appelée communément islamisme cette pensée - qui instrumentalise des lectures littéralistes du corpus islamique - est méconnue."

From jewelry to meditation pillows to tourist retreats, religious traditions are being commodified as never before. Imitated and rebranded as “new age” or “spiritual,” they are marketed to secular Westerners as an answer to suffering in the modern world. In Buying Buddha, Selling Rumi, Sophia Rose Arjana examines the appropriation and sale of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam in the West today, the role of mysticism and Orientalism in the religious marketplace, and how the commodification of religion impacts people’s lives.

An ancient and deeply revered practice, Buddhism is even more popular now than it has been in decades.

Those wonderful benefits can be a part of your life as well through the careful study of its various tenets.

Écrit en 1840, les idées révolutionnaires de Lamennais possèdent un accent prophétique quant aux incidences du capitalisme sur la liberté des hommes. Les prolétaires ne sont-ils pas en effet inféodés à un système - social, culturel et économique - qui ne profitent in fine qu'aux plus riches ? La réflexion de l'abbé reste à ce sujet d'une criante actualité. Extrait : "Le capitaliste et le prolétaire sont donc entre eux, de fait, à peu près dans les mêmes relations que le maître et l'esclave des sociétés antiques."

In autumn 1942, Anna Goldenberg's great-grandparents and one of their sons are deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Hans, their elder son, survives by hiding in an apartment in the middle of Nazi-controlled Vienna.

Goldenberg reconstructs this unique story in magnificent reportage.

First published in 1903, James Allen's As a Man Thinketh has become an inspirational classic. A beautifully thought-provoking work, Allen's contribution to the New Thought Movement continues to encourage each of us to reflect on our thoughts and to work to regain possession of them.  Using Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he", as inspiration, Allen describes how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the very thoughts which he thinks. "A man is literally what he thinks."
