Collection: Spirituality & Religion

Ten years ago, Kate Braestrup and her husband Drew were enjoying the life they shared together. They had four young children, and Drew, a Maine state trooper, would soon begin training to become a minister as well. Then early one morning Drew left for work and everything changed. On the very roads that he protected every day, an oncoming driver lost control, and Kate lost her husband.

Stunned and grieving, Kate decided to continue her husband's dream and became a minister herself. And in that capacity she found a most unusual mission: serving as the minister on search and rescue missions in the Maine woods, giving comfort to people whose loved ones are missing, and to the wardens who sometimes have to deal with awful outcomes. Whether she is with the parents of a 6-year-old girl who had wandered into the woods, with wardens as they search for a snowmobile rider trapped under the ice, or assisting a man whose sister left an infant seat and a suicide note in her car by the side of the road, Braestrup provides solace, understanding, and spiritual guidance when it's needed most.

Here if You Need Me is the story of Kate Braestrup's remarkable journey from grief to faith to happiness. It is dramatic, funny, deeply moving, and simply unforgettable, an uplifting account about finding God through helping others, and the tale of the small miracles that occur every day when life and love are restored.

The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian Hindu text written by Vātsyāyana. It is widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behaviour in Sanskrit literature. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sexual intercourse. "Kāma" which is one of the four goals of Hindu life, means desire including sexual desire the latter being the subject of the textbook, and "sūtra" literally means a thread or line that holds things together, and more metaphorically refers to a formula in the form of a manual.

Contrary to western popular perception, the Kama Sutra is not exclusively a sex manual; it presents itself as a guide to a virtuous and gracious living that discusses the nature of love, family life and other aspects pertaining to pleasure oriented faculties of human life. Kama Sutra, in parts of the world, is presumed or depicted as a synonym for creative sexual positions. Much of the book is about the philosophy and theory of love, what triggers desire, what sustains it, and how and when it is good or bad.

An empowering guide to help you heal the pain of the past, find emotional balance, and achieve the abundance, success, and happiness you deserve.

Has anyone ever told you that you can make good things happen if you just think positively? The law of attraction, which is largely based on the idea that positive thoughts and emotions attract positive outcomes--is one of the most popular self-help movements of the last few decades. But if you've experienced trauma, you may struggle to think positively, or feel too anxious to believe in an abundant and joyful future. This is especially true if you have unhealed childhood trauma.

Written by a psychologist and trauma expert, Heal Your Past to Manifest Your Future acknowledges the profound impact of past trauma on your ability to imagine, move toward, and create a life you truly love; and offers a three-step process to regulate your nervous system, "reparent" your inner child, and rewire your brain to open to new possibilities.

If you've been curious about manifestation but are wary of the "hashtag blessed" and "good vibes only" aspects of this practice that are so often front and center on social media, this compassionate guide offers a unique, trauma-sensitive approach to help you heal the past, release emotional blocks, reclaim a sense of safety and hope, and make your dreams a reality.

Deepen your connection to Allah and set purpose-based intentions for the year ahead with a daily guided journal for prayer, healing, and reflection during Ramadan.

Ramadan is one of the most sacred and spiritually intimate months of the Islamic calendar. It is a time of devotion, where one can nurture their relationship with Allah--breaking away from normal daily routine and spent in a constant state of faithful awareness.

Divided into three 10-day sections, this beautiful book takes you on an inward journey to heal from your past, immerse yourself in the present and plan an akhirah-focused future. Each section is comprised of ten chapters with each representing one day of Ramadan. Aliyah encourages readers to use each chapter on their designated day--echoing how the Qur'an was revealed, gradually, in order for listeners to savor the messages and decipher their meanings on a more profound level.

Ramadan Reflections is filled with practical exercises, journaling prompts, and Du'aa invitations, all designed to enable deeper reflections on the learnings and further your ability to manifest this into actions. Each chapter concludes with extra writing space for contemplation both on the theme that day as well as their overall spiritual transformation.

In this inspiring book, based on her twenty years of research, highly acclaimed author and teacher Louise DeSalvo reveals the healing power of writing. DeSalvo shows how anyone can use writing as a way to heal the emotional and physical wounds that are an inevitable part of life. Contrary to what most self-help books claim, just writing won't help you; in fact, there's abundant evidence that the wrong kind of writing can be damaging.

DeSalvo's program is based on the best available and most recent scientific studies about the efficacy of using writing as a restorative tool. With insight and wit, she illuminates how writers, from Virginia Woolf to Henry Miller to Audre Lorde to Isabel Allende, have been transformed by the writing process. Writing as a Way of Healing includes valuable advice and practical techniques to guide and inspire both experienced and beginning writers.

The perfect gift for seekers, the curious, and the spiritually hungry, The Little Book of Prayers now has a stunning new cover and a more prayer book-like format.

Gathered from holy books and prayer books, from songs and spirituals, spoken traditions and poets, it is an unexpectedly approachable collection of common and uncommon prayers from around the world. The entries, one per page or spread, are chosen for their depth of feeling, beauty of expression, spiritual intensity, and sense of the universal. The book is organized into broad categories of praise, entreaty, contemplation, mourning, and grace; and two indexes--one by authorship, and the other by topic--make it immediately accessible.

There are familiar prayers, like the Lord's Prayer and 23rd Psalm, which, placed in new context, shine with a renewed beauty and wisdom. You'll find prayers unfamiliar to many in the West, such as the "Opener" from the Koran or the four vows of the Boddhisattva, chanted every evening in Zen monasteries around the world. And the surprising--from the "Prayer of the Unknown Confederate Soldier" to the blues of Lightnin' Hopkins to the poetry of Rumi.

God help us to live slowly:

To move simply:

To look softly:

To allow emptiness:
To let the heart create

for us.
Amen.

You, whose day it is, make it

beautiful. Get out your rainbow

colors, so it will be beautiful.

"How are things here, you ask. Things here are past insane."

In The End of Israel, acclaimed journalist Bradley Burston's dispatches for Haaretz newspaper trace the deep roots of the horrific Israel-Hamas war, exploring how the country could have chosen a different path, and possible options for its future.

The columns detail the decline and sudden fall of a failed nation, which - even before the war erupted - had begun to question whether this year's Independence Day would be its last. An Israel where the delusional and the fanatic were sovereign. A land which, the biblical book of Numbers warns us, eats its inhabitants alive.

Praise for The End of Israel:

"Heschel wrote that the prophet's word is a scream in the night.

While the world is at ease and asleep, the prophet feels the blast

from Heaven.

"It's not just that Bradley Burston saw what only few others could

see, it's that he found the courage to share it-urgently, honestly,

relentlessly.

"Burston has been a voice of moral clarity for decades. If only

more had listened... we might not be where we are today. And even

still, he wouldn't stand for us giving up hope-and so the struggle

goes on."

-Rabbi Sharon Brous

Author of the forthcoming The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to

Mend Our Broken Hearts and World

"Bradley Burston has warned for years that Israeli Jews would

never be truly safe until Palestinians are free. Now Jewish safety and

Palestinian freedom look further away than ever.

"Still, his essays don't counsel despair. They model wisdom,

decency, and hope."

-Peter Beinart

Author, The Crisis of Zionism

"Bradley Burston is 'the kind of person who loves Israel and hates

occupation, ' in his own words about another Israeli. On every issue

Burston touches, his passion for Israel, its beauty and potential and

tragedy, bursts out of these pages.

"His writing reflects his fierce and intimate devotion to Israel,

alongside unflinching observations about what's going wrong, and

how it could be better.

"Burston's collected works represent an essential warning cry, a

fine and complex tableau, and a roadmap to a better Israel."

-Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin

Political scientist and author of The Crooked Timber of

Democracy in Israel (2023).

Montana remains a wilderness paradise with a relatively small human population. History here witnessed gold fever draw thousands of prospectors up into the Rockies in the 1860s, their boom towns just as quickly turning into ghost towns once the gold ran out. At the same time, cattlemen carved out ranches in the valleys and out on the high plains. That hardy breed is still here. American Indians fought great battles against the invaders and marked some of their last stands in Montana. In the two short centuries of recorded history in the region, a surprising number of ghost stories have been told. This book shares some of them: -Long-standing legends of the restless dead persist in the halls of Helena's Caroll College. The blood of a dead, once drunken student, will not wash from the bathroom sink in St. Charles Hall, no matter how hard the custodians scrub. The college is still haunted by the spirit of a troubled young scholar who jumped from the top floor. And the ghost of a kindly nun has been known to lend comfort to distraught women residing in St. Albert Hall. -A camper in the Lewis and Clark National Forest encounters a terrifying apparition in the middle of the night. -Tireless still, Old Judge Theodore Brantley still haunts the stately Victorian home where he worked late into most of his nights in the last century. -Out on the windswept ground of the Little Bighorn battlefield, long-dead combatants continue to linger over the place where they waged their bloody and momentous struggle. -And there's more
