Mary appears only a few times in the Bible, but those few passages come at crucial moments. Catholics believe that Mary is the ever-virgin Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth. But she also was a human being--a woman who made a journey of faith through various trials and uncertainties and endured her share of suffering. Even with her unique graces and vocation, Mary remains a woman we can relate to and from whom we have much to learn. In Walking with Mary, Edward Sri looks at the crucial passages in the Bible concerning Mary and offers insight about the Blessed Mother's faith and devotion that we can apply in our daily lives. We follow her step-by-step through the New Testament account of her life, reflecting on what the Scriptures tell us about how she responded to the dramatic events unfolding around her. “This book is the fruit of my personal journey of studying Mary through the Scriptures, from her initial calling in Nazareth to her painful experience at the cross,” writes Edward Sri “It is intended to be a highly readable, accessible work that draws on wisdom from the Catholic tradition, recent popes, and biblical scholars of a variety of perspectives and traditions. With the riches of these insights, we will ponder what her journey of faith may have been like in order to draw out spiritual lessons for our own walk with God.” He add, “It is my hope, therefore, that whether you are of a Catholic, Protestant, or other faith background, this book may help you to know, understand, and love Mary more, and that it may inspire you to walk in her footsteps as a faithful disciple of the Lord in your own pilgrimage of faith.”

Richard Prince, a professor, had come to a dead end in his life. It was then he received a surprising invitation to speak at a conference in Bhutan, whose goal is "Gross National Happiness." Although he's skeptical, while trekking to the Tiger's Nest Monastery, the most revered of all Bhutan's spiritual sites, Richard falls and almost dies. During his recovery, he is visited by a Himalayan master who begins instructing him on the keys to personal and cultural transformation and how Bhutan and other countries can achieve the goal of "happiness" for their people and the world. Little does he know it, but he has begun the "hero's journey" to rediscover a meaning and purpose for his own life. As Richard travels the Bhutan countryside, he falls deeply in love with Sumitra, assistant to the minister of education. She reveals to him a great secret about their relationship and destiny, and he promises to return to Bhutan. "Unexpected Journey takes you on an exciting adventure to a mystical land where East meets West. Accompany our reluctant hero, Richard Prince as he searches for meaning and discovers love in this adventurous spiritual romance." --Ruth Drayer, The Spiritual Journeys of Nicholas and Helena Roerich "James has written an account that showcases the salient features of the hero's journey. He describes the magic of Bhutan that will captivate and exhilarate readers ready to travel to the remotest lands of the world as well as of the heart." --Alanna Kaivalya, Author, Educator, Mythologist "A modern "Lost Horizons" where our hero encounters a mysterious Himalayan teacher and a beautiful soul mate. Highly recommended." --David Tame, The Secret Power of Music

At the age of 22, Neal Tew had questions. Raised nominally Catholic and now a recent Harvard graduate, he wondered whether faith in God could withstand intellectual and existential scrutiny. He wondered whether God really existed. He earned an undergraduate minor in the Comparative Study of Religions and wrote an Honors Thesis on Anglican priest and poet George Herbert. But those studies did not bring him the certitude he sought. While taking graduate classes in Theology in Paris, Neal discovered two new monastic orders in France. Here he found the key that had eluded him. These men and women were staking their lives upon the tenets of the Christian faith. The intellectual positions they held were backed up by real sacrifices and intense life commitments. Theirs was a faith lived out in the day to day. A faith that brought Neal close in spirit to the shores of Galilee.Neal decided to drop his nets and follow the monastic way of life. To learn, as best he could, from the monks. He would ultimately spend three years in different monastic communities, observing their way of life, living their life and documenting it in photographs that offer an intimate look into the daily experience and practice of a monk. In the end, Neal's journey led him to enter the novitiate of one of the monasteries where he lived. A novitiate is the extended period of training and learning offered to young people who think they may have a vocation to become a monk. Neal's journey took him there and back again. What he learned has relevance for all of us. This book tells the story. Three years among the monks.
