This AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI will astonish... "This is a riveting read of the spiritual journey of one of the most deeply disciplined seekers I have ever met. You'll find it provocative, entertaining, and spiritually sobering. It's hard to put down. Read it, digest it and be challenged. There's more to this story than meets the eye!" Philip Johnson, co-author, Riding the Rollercoaster and Sacred Quest "Today, many have embarked on a spiritual journey, but few have done it with the enthusiasm dedication and intensity of Michael Graham. While still a teenager, a twenty-eight-year odyssey began, leading him to India where he had dramatic encounters with some the 20th Century's most famous Eastern religious teachers. In this personal account he tells of these meetings and spiritual 'awakenings' and then his subsequent efforts to reconcile his amazing experiences with his questioning intellect. At the same time, he presents an eloquent insider's account of the Western world's fascination with Eastern Mysticism. This enthralling story will stimulate and challenge all spiritual seekers." Martin Roth, author Zen Guide and Living Water to Light the Journey "If you enjoyed Death of a Guru, you will devour this and it will be compulsory reading for all who take seriously the impact Eastern spirituality is having on the Western world." Ross Clifford, Principal, Morling Theological College, Sydney "This is a gripping personal account of how an honest and passionate seeker of truth found the One who is the Truth. This book is a record of a fascinating quest and an amazing discovery, and must be read by all who are seeking for meaning and love in the growing postmodern spiritual market place." Dr. Robert Solomon, Principal Trinity Theological College, Singapore

A spiritual walk, while wondrous, tantalizing, and mystical, can also be grueling and traumatic. It tests us beyond our limits, and we do not organize its itinerary For Carla Mancari, walking through walls and traveling miles in states of heightened awareness were easy feats. But when her quest required her to plumb the depths of total despair, only the grace of God allowed her to go on. In When Jesus Is the Guru, Carla shares the pitfalls she encountered along her journey, as well as the mystical experiences, realizations, and triumphs. Travel with her as she learns to relate to Jesus's personal humanity. As you do, you may find yourself reconnecting with your own Christian roots, where Holy Scripture becomes the living word it is purported to be.

Rabindranath R Maharaj was descended from a long line of Brahmin priests and trained as a Yogi. He meditated for many hours each day, but gradually disillusionment set in. In DEATH OF A GURU he describes vividly and honestly Hindu life and customs, tracing his difficult search for meaning and his struggle to choose between Hinduism and Christ. At a time when Eastern mysticism and religion fascinate many in the West, Maharaj offers fresh and important insights from the perspective of his own experience. DEATH OF A GURU has long been an excellent seller on HCB's backlist. It is the best-known Hindu to Christianity conversion story and has been used widely for evangelistic purposes. This edition carries an exciting new cover.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

For centuries, readers have turned to the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and guidance as they chart their own spiritual paths. As profound and powerful as this classic text has been for generations of seekers, integrating its lessons into the ordinary patterns of our lives can ultimately seem beyond our reach. Now, in a fascinating series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism’s most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or “paths for coming to union with God.” In Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita’s principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life. While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.

Ma Jaya's memoir leads us through her adventurous childhood in Coney Island, her awakening as a spiritual guru, and her life of fearless love and devotion."With this book, I give you my history, primitive as it is, my history of learning how to live in a world this is filled with so much hate and at the same moment filled with so much beauty and love . I never wanted to teach. I only wanted to share my life. There is a sacred river in India, so brilliant in her love as she continuously flows toward every human being, and everyone that comes toward her is blessed and purified. My wish was that I could always be like that river. Now when there is so much pain in the world, the whole river is in my heart, and the river has overflowed her banks."
