The worth of any book is not only to be measured by the joy that you derive while reading it, but by what you can actually glean and carry away. It is a treasure trove laden with pearls of wisdom, and the tenets of ‘Art of Healthy and Joyful Living.’ It is a soothing elixir to the world torn with tears, wounds and scars. It makes one think in a new direction and induces to explore. As the words sink into us slowly page by page, the literary journey takes a very pious turn to become a holy pilgrimage. It shows the answer is best sought in self-realisation. The author is an intrepid traveller and a sensitive poet. With his repertoire, he has tried to seek the answers to the enigma of life, and many everyday issues that baffle us. The author here extols, ‘one who looks around is intelligent and experienced, but the one who looks within is learnt and wise. To, one who is on a journey within this is a companion and a friendly guide. It tells, ‘Love the life you live, and live the life you love, enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy.’

Religion and spirituality are common motivations for travel, with many major tourist destinations having developed largely as a result of their connections to sacred people, places and events. Describing practical applications, models and case studies, this book provides an insight into the management of religious tourism, covering both ancient sacred sites and emerging destinations. It fully explored the pressures on sacred spaces to become commercialised and festivalised areas, while still maintaining their religious and spiritual integrity.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men today, closely following lung cancer. About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. But only one in 35 will die from it. More than two million men in the United States who have been diagnosed at some point are still alive today. I am one of them. My book, Cancer is a Four-Letter Word: A Pilgrimage into the Emotional, Sexual, and Spiritual Aspects of Prostate Cancer, chronicles my own experience with this terrible disease. From early diagnosis, fear, and panic, to shopping for the best treatment, to surgery and subsequent recovery, I trace not only the physical journey of getting my stamina and good health back, but also the psychological and sexual implications. My format includes an interweaving of my own story of prostate cancer with other men's stories, along with open-ended questions at the end of each chapter to keep men and their partners talking late into the night. Theres also a resource list to provide support for a lifetime. Although concise and easy to read, my book doesnt hold back any personal details. Readers will learn what to expect in regard to diapering oneself post-surgery, working through debilitating depression, and forging the uncharted territory of a different kind of sexual intimacy. More importantly, theyll hear about learning to accept support from loving friends and how to talk to God in a whole new way. Rarely does a reader find an account of experiencing Gods overwhelming love and grace in the same chapter as explicit details on how to give oneself penile injections to overcome erectile dysfunction!

This is both a remarkable journey through sacred India, and a pilgrimage to the immortal self. With his ever inexorable determination to pursue his highest path, Jack Haas visits many holy areas within the subcontinent of India, and communes with numerous masters who have passed from this plane, but who remain in the subtle realm to assist mankind in its growth towards freedom and eternity. These include Krishna, Guru Nanak, Ramana Maharishi, and Shiva himself. Within the pages of this book Haas describes his own evolution towards an expanded, unlimited consciousness as well as his unique relationships with many aspects of the divine feminine, including Mother Mary, Sophia, Parvati, Gauri, Kali, Saraswati, Durga, and Gaia. Haas' path eventually leads him to the absolute union of spirit and flesh, and to the inextinguishable Tao running through all of life.

What do people think of when they hear the word Druidry? The real questions, not questions about the old men in white robes stereotypes. What makes a Druid? What do they do? Having been a practising Druid for over ten years, Cat Treadwell wondered too. Asked to present a talk at a national Pagan Festival, and unsure exactly what the audience would want to hear, she started a blog, asking friends and colleagues (Muggle and Pagan) what they would like to know about the Druid Path. Two years later, they are still asking. This book answers some of those questions. Cat has compiled and expanded on the common queries (So, do you worship the sun?) as well as the day-to-day aspects of Druidry as a lived path. She reveals how Druidry is constantly evolving to be relevant and accessible in the modern world.

Walking Life: Meditations on the Pilgrimage of Life considers lessons I have learned throughout my life and reinforced during several pilgrimage walks in Spain. It relates these lessons to our daily walk through life. Walking Life is richly illustrated with photos from several pilgrimage walks. You can take Walking Life along with you on your next retreat or just sit with it under a tree. Walking Life is at its best when you read it slowly one page at a time and consider how the spirit of that page fits into your life. This book is also available in a color edition at www.lulu.com.
