The Power of the Feminine
The Power of the Feminine: Facing Shadow Evoking Light highlights women's role in global change. Authors are from Egypt, Ghana, Exile Tibet, and the United States. They discuss the dismantling of patriarchal and colonizing behaviors influencing political, economic, and religious paradigms. Colonization has caused great harm to people of color, indigenous cultures, and natural resources. Authors emphasize the need to face the human shadow. Patriarchy has suppressed women, Nature, and the power of the feminine. We have been unable to ground many of our religious and ethical ideals simply because of the suppression of the feminine-the relational archetype. Listening to the guidance of indigenous peoples is encouraged as they have maintained a stronger relationship to Nature, respecting all species throughout human evolution. Authors emphasize the need for healthier ways of living and relating in order to create a healthier future for our youth and the future of all humanity. An organization for change is presented: Face the human shadow, heal oneself, create healthier relationships from birth forward, and support the emergence of the feminine archetype in both women and men.

The Cave of Reconciliation
In the Southern Judea region, 3,050 feet above sea level, lies a city; some know it as Hebron, others Al-Khalil. In this city there sits a cave with three names: the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Ma'arat Ha'Machpelah, and al-Haram al-Ibrahimi. The cave is said to house the remains of a man and his family. The name can be pronounced Abraham, Avraham, or Ibrahim, but the man is the same. The Cave of Reconciliation is a book with two sides. Read from one end, it tells the story of Abraham and his son Isaac, flip the book and it recounts the tale of Ibrahim and Ismail. Told and illustrated in a simple style, The Cave of Reconciliation re-imagines the origins of one of the most complex conflicts of our...
The Good Delusion: An Unethical Response to Richard Dawkins The God Delusion
An unreligious and unusual response to Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" which largely discusses ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche and Buddhism.This book invites atheism in a direction that has not been yet been widely trodden with regards to its fundamental arguments, giving it in an unexpected and refreshingly unusual challenge.The philosophical root of atheism is challenged in a manner that Dawkins breezes over that he implicitly subscribes to and does not discuss at great length, which is an old philosophical standpoint that has interested philosophers for hundreds, if not thousands of years before Dawkins.Be prepared to never look at sanctity in the same way again as Jenman makes a highly strange, unethical and entertaining romp through the current foundations of human belief systems under the fire of modern scientific excellence, without claiming that Dawkins has made any real errors or arguing for the existence of any metaphysical or supernatural reality.
