Pets and the Afterlife 2: Signs from Pets That Have Passed
From the best-selling, award-winning "Pets and the Afterlife" Series
Pets and the Afterlife 2 is a follow-up to pet medium, Rob Gutro's Best-seller "Pets and the Afterlife." The book explains how all pets can provide signs from the afterlife, including messages Rob received and stories from others. These stories show ways dogs and cats (and other domesticated animals) are linked to their loved ones on Earth.
This book builds off the first volume of "Pets and the Afterlife," as Rob continues to develop his abilities to tune into pets on the other side who want to pass on messages. In this book, you will learn the who, what, when, where, why, and how our pets' spirits can give us signs. Many of the experiences you will read about in this book are my own; others have been shared with the gracious permission of the grieving pet parents to demonstrate how their pets have communicated with them from the afterlife.
The personal detail that pets can convey is amazing. For example, one dog gave specifics on his unique and favorite place in the world and spelled out his grandmother's name with a different pronunciation!
Pets and the Afterlife 2 was written to help grieving pet parents understand how pets in the afterlife share signs from the afterlife. This book addresses domesticated pets including dogs, cats, birds and horses. All domesticated pets have the ability to provide signs.
The author is a medium, paranormal investigator, pet parent, and scientist. He explains the science of energy, what happens when pets pass, and the intelligence of pets. *It is through understanding that our pets are still with us from the other side, that it lessens the effects of our grief.* You'll also learn the difference between a ghost and spirit, and the types of signs our pets can give us from the other side. Read amazing messages that the author received and fantastic personal experiences shared by others to help the reader better understand the many ways your spirit pet is trying to communicate with you.
This is part of the author's "Pets and the Afterlife" series. Other series include "Ghosts on a Medium's Vacation" and "Ghosts and Spirits."

Lifting Our Voices: Readings in the Living Tradition
"As the generations rise and fall, the wars of the past are surpassed by the wars of the present age, prosperity and poverty diverge in new ways, and new technology remakes the world in ways Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ken Patton, Olympia Brown, or Francis Watkins Harper could hardly have comprehended. New words of love and truth, new memorable phrases, new encouragements are in order. Assumptions, sometimes unconsciously made in previous eras, have been challenged and rethought. Contemporary voices in this new century still revere both love and truth and find ways in worship of moving out of the familiar and into new territory. Styles of imagery and poetry that might have startled our ancestors encourage us to live out lives of depth."--Mark Belletini, from the PrefaceMore than 250 readings are collected here to reinvigorate and update Unitarian Universalist worship. Just as Singing the Journey supplemented the hymns in Singing the Living Tradition with more diversity in perspectives and styles, Lifting Our Voices supplements the SLT readings with modern voices from an array of cultures and theological perspectives. Chosen with care by Revs. Mark Belletini, Kendyl Gibbons, Angela Herrera, Abhi Janamanchi, and Hope Johnson, these new readings, from Unitarian Universalists and acclaimed authors and poets are sure to become instant classics.Sold out -

How to Listen
In a time of great division and discord, our capacity to listen deeply and with compassion is paramount to solving pressing issues--across the realms of global politics, interpersonal relationships, and our own hearts and minds. In How to Listen, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh demonstrates how deep listening is a fundamental building block of good communication. But perhaps more fundamentally, listening is central to our practice, a basic ingredient to strengthen our capacity for mindfulness, concentration, insight, and compassion. Learning how to listen with equanimity to life itself, we generate insight into the true nature of our deep connection to all things. And from this place of understanding--when we know that we aren't separate--our capacity to listen deepens even further. With clear and gentle guidance from Thich Nhat Hanh, we learn how truly listening--to ourselves, to each other, to Mother Earth, and to the many "bells of mindfulness" that are available to us in each moment--is the foundation of our practice, an expression of love, and a solution to our deepest and most urgent large-scale conflicts. All Mindfulness Essentials books are illustrated with playful sumi-ink drawings by California artist Jason DeAntonis. -

The Promise of the Land: A Passover Haggadah
Explore themes of nature and the land within the Passover seder.From the unassuming matzah that reveals the simplicity of earth, wheat, and water, to the first fruits of the soil that the Israelites offered in gratitude, the earth has always been at the center of who we are as a people.
Passover marks the Jewish people's liberation from slavery in Egypt and the coming of spring. Yet it is also a story about land and the natural world. All our biblical holidays - Passover included - originally commemorated the agrarian and pastoral soil of of which Judaism grew. This haggadah keeps the earth at the forefront of our minds.

Dayeinu is seen as a commentary on appreciating what we have and avoiding waste and overconsumption. Stunning artwork enhances the moods and themes of the seder in warm tones that are at once vibrant and earthy."A marvelous new contribution in an ecological vein . . . a haggadah in the spirit of Abraham Joshua Heschel" --Rabbi Jonathon Seidel, PhD, spiritual leader of Or haGan, Eugene Oregon

The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism
The Triumph of Life is Rabbi Irving Greenberg's magnum opus--a narrative of the relationship between God and humanity as expressed in the Jewish journey through modernity, the Holocaust, the creation of Israel, and the birth of Judaism's next era. Greenberg describes Judaism's utopian vision of a world created by a God who loves life, who invites humans to live on the side of life and enables the forces of life to triumph over death. The Bible proclaims our mission of tikkun olam, repairing the world, such that every human image of God is sustained in the fullness of our dignity. To achieve this ideal, Judaism offers the method of covenant--realistic, personal, incremental--a partnership between God and humanity across generations in which human beings grow ever more responsible for world repair. Greenberg calls on us to redirect humanity's unprecedented power in modernity to overcome poverty, oppression, inequality, sickness, and war. The work of covenant requires an ethic of power--one that advances life collaboratively and at a human pace--so that the Jewish people and all humanity can bring the world toward the triumph of life.

Woven throughout is a timeline of the development of tarot, as well as miniature profiles of women from cultures around the world whose work has impacted divination and fortune telling, including Nefertiti, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans Marie Laveau, author Zora Neale Hurston, and contemporary artist Nanse Kawashima. -

Ordinary Mysticism: Your Life as Sacred Ground
"This gorgeous, transformative, welcoming book is for anyone who longs to feel more present, more alive, more joyful and aware of the holiness of daily life."--Anne Lamott, author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, Wow
A stunning exploration of finding the extraordinary in the everyday from beloved spiritual teacher and interspiritual leader Mirabai Starr.
For Starr, the everyday is not boring or routine; it is sacred. In Ordinary Mysticism, she helps readers discover their own inner mystic and let go of the limiting belief that spiritual life exists only in traditional places of worship. Mysticism, she explains, is a direct experience of the sacred--no church or clergy required. Our everyday life can be imbued with spirit if we pay attention. Starr explores the magic of mundane life, from weeding in our humble gardens to a slow evening walk with a friend to a full kitchen table surrounded by family. Embracing mysticism in our everyday is a way of being more alive in the world, an awakening to the interconnectedness between all things.
To become a mystic, you don't need to visit an ashram in the Himalayas or kneel in a church pew to connect to the sacred or to life's big questions. Life, she says, is holy ground--"welcome to the temple of your regular life." Lyrical and tender, filled with profound wisdom and mind-opening insights, Ordinary Mysticism is about finding the extraordinary in the everyday, grounded in lessons from spiritual teachers across the centuries--from Julian of Norwich to Ram Das. Starr combines their sagacity with the story of her own personal and spiritual journey--from surviving the heartbreak of her fourteen-year-old daughter's death to growing up amid the 1960s counterculture that introduced her to mysticism to her self-made spiritual practice of today.
By inviting readers to walk with her on path of the mystic, Starr reveals how the mundane is miraculous, how the boring becomes fascinating, and how we can ultimately recognize our own innate wisdom. May we all find meaning and wonder in our most ordinary moments.
