Alexander, Bill, A
Man's Book of the Spirit: Daily Meditations for a Mindful Life.
We are taught to be strong - not to cry or feel. We courageously
blaze trails through the wilderness, oblivious to the beauty
surrounding us. Our spirits are lost in a maze of misapprehensions,
false pressures, and misleading media messages extolling the virtues
of power and success. It is time for man to get in touch with his
truest and most sensitive nature - to explore the realities of his
life and his history. Here is the guidance and empowering affirmation
you need to tune out the deafening clamor and focus on healing. Here
is comprehension and truth that will enable you to achieve your
greatest potentials - a success by your own stars, a lover in your
own right...and a possessor of untold inner riches. Avon, Books, 1350

Alexander, William,
A Father's Book of the Spirit: A legacy of love
for fathers and sons and the generations that follow them. Daily
Meditations. What is a father? A man is called a
father the day his firstborn enters this world. In truth, the quest
for fatherhood has just begun, and it will last a lifetime. Father is
the proud young man filled with joy at the sight of his newborn and
the exhausted, frustrated caretaker of a baby, wide awake at 3 a.m.
As the child grows, Father is the rule maker, and the rule breaker.
He is the invincible hero to his son; the knight in shining armor to
his daughter. Father is all powerful, all knowing, all wise and
wonderful...until his child reaches adolescence. Now Father is
patient and kind, loving and proud, helpful and understanding.
Everything he wished his own father would be. Everything he wishes he
could be. And when his son becomes a father, he will understand. Here
for every man striving to be the father he always wanted to be, are
daily meditations offering understanding, compassion, reassurance and
spiritual guidance on life's most exciting and rewarding journey -
that of becoming a father. Avon 1997, 800.238.0658

Berger, Bradley Ian
& Kalev Pehme, Men are: A Book of Inspiration. Men
wake up! This book is for you. We men must start to take a
positive outlook on our lives. We must do it ourselves; no one is
going to do it for us. Television, radio, newspapers, magazines and
books have pummeled us enough. A day doesn't pass where there isn't a
story bashing men. It's in vogue and this is the alternative. By
reducing men to stereotypes, men are made adversaries to everyone.
Men are finding it harder and harder to make friendships, to be
lovers, and to fulfill their familial duties. In the age of Men
Bashing, men have been taught that men lack sensitivity and have
primitive emotions; that they consciously and unconsciously use their
sexuality not as an expression of love, but as a desire for
domination; that to be a man is something less than human. Young men,
in particular, need to know that to be a man is good. A fulfilling
meaningful life as a man is a goal to strive for. To be a good man
means to be a good human being. This book is meant to serve as an
inspiration to men. It consists of words describing men.
Inspirational words that state what men are and what they are capable
of being. This book is for you! Self Published, 11 Oak Valley Drive,

Boykin, Keith, Respecting the Soul: Daily
reflections for black lesbians and gays. We're all looking for
answers to life's questions. We all want to reach our goals, maintain
a loving relationship, and strengthen our ties to family and
community. But how do we face our doubts and fears? How do we
reconcile the prejudice of others with the truth we know about
ourselves? And how do we deal with the obstacles that stand in
our way? The primary challenges facing black lesbians and gays are
internal, not external. The deepest wounds are usually
self-inflicted, leaving behind the scars of internalized racism and
homophobia. With a unique insight for each day of the calendar year,
this book can help change this reality by provoking, inspiring, and
empowering you, sensitizing your families and friends, and sharing
the wisdom and experience of hundreds of well-known people who have
contributed to our collective history. This book gives you the
encouragement you need to respect your own soul. Avon Books, 1999,

Dreamer, Oriah Mountain, The Invitation.
One night, after an unsatisfying evening at a party, the author wrote
the start of this book. By the light of her streetlight, she began,
"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what
you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's
longing...I want to know if you have touched the center of your own
sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become
shriveled and closed from fear of further pain..." Her profound
invitation became the framework for this wise and inspiring book.
Chapter by chapter, the author uses passages from her "Invitation" to
welcome readers into a life that is more soul fulfilling and
passionate, and has far greater truth and integrity. In a sense, she
invites readers to get a life instead of buying into a lifestyle.
Each chapter ends with a guided meditation specific to the theme of
the chapter, such as "The Joy" and "The Failure." Despite her
suspiciously New Age-sounding name, she is a highly grounded,
practical, and honest writer. This fresh and beautifully packaged
book is destined for great acclaim in the realm of spiritual
inspiration. HarperCollins, 1999 ISBN 0062515745 Buy

Glennon, Will, Practice Random Acts of

"Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty" in a

that the idea would take root to become a global goodwill movement.
From classrooms to boardrooms to the streets, it spread person to
person across the world and was even featured in Life
magazine's Special Millennium issue as one of the 50 Most Important
Things in the last 100 years. This book is a compilation of inspiring
meditations, quotes, and true stories collected from the growing
number of "kindness experts" in the world who demonstrate the
incredible power one tiny act can have. Written with heart and deep
understanding of the times in which we live, this book offers us the
spiritual and psychological impetus to "pay it forward" in a
meaningful way. During times of disaster, war and poverty, simple
human kindness can restore hope and reconnect us all. Conari Press,

Kabat-Zinn, Jon, Wherever You Go There You
Are: Mindfulness meditation in everyday life. Mindfulness is
considered the heart of Buddhist meditation but its essence is
universal and of deep practical benefit to all. In essence,
mindfulness is about wakefulness. Our minds are such that they are
often more asleep than awake to the unique beauty and possibilities
of each present moment as it unfolds. While it is in the nature of
our mind to go on automatic pilot and lose touch with the only time
we actually have to live, to grow, to feel, to love, to learn, to
give shape to things, to heal, our mind also holds the deep innate
capacity to help us awaken to our moments and use them to advantage
for ourselves, for others, and for the world we inhabit. Just as a
garden requires attending to if we hope to cultivate flowers and not
have it be overrun with weeds, mindfulness also requires regular
cultivating. In this book, the author maps out a simple path for
cultivating mindfulness in one's own life. It speaks both to those
coming to meditation for the first time and to longtime
practitioners, anyone who cares deeply about reclaiming the richness
of his or her moments. Hyperion, 1994 ISBN 0-7868-8070-8

came from a man and spoke directly to men about the unique issues
that men face in their lives. The quotes in this book are
wonderful! Having become a mini-expert on quotes, I am
thrilled to say that most were new to me and are powerful and to the
point. Rarely have I seen such a rich and delicious variety of
memorable quotes. And, they are used beautifully to lead into
exquisite tidbits of thought-provoking and soul-stirring words for
daily reflection for men. I am glad the men I know will have the
possibility of this little book in their lives and I am glad that I
will have a new gift item that can offer doors of options from the
self-abuse and self-destruction patterns I see lived out in many of
the men for whom I care a great deal. May we as men and women find
new, full, life--enhancing ways to live with ourselves, with each

Lewis, Richard,
Living By Wonder: The imaginative life of childhood. Too
often a child's imagination is seen as merely a passing phase of
childhood which has little or no relation to the real work of
learning. Too often we educate the imagination out of children
thinking it has no practical role in how they ultimately perceive and
create their individual worlds. This is a collection of essays by the
author, a teacher and writer, which considers the life of the
imagination as a necessary part of every child's growing
consciousness. In each of these thoughtful essays, he explores the
diverse facets of a child's imagination and its rich expression
through language-making, play, art, stories and poetry. Whether he is
observing the laughter of children or reflecting on their questions
of "why?"; whether watching children catch fireflies or search for
their solitude; whether seeing them dance or run through the waters
of a sprinkler, what becomes clear to the reader is the vitality of
imagination as the source of our learning and understanding.
Addressed to anyone concerned with the emotional, spiritual, and
intellectual life of children (and adults), this book makes a
compelling and timely statement. Its importance lies not only in its
application to children, but in its exploration of values which we,
as adults, need to keep alive in ourselves and in the culture at
large. A Parabola Book in association with Touchstone Center

uncertainty - yet his twenty-year reign has been historically
remembered as a golden age of justice, logic, moderation and
consistency. Composed while on military campaign in his later years,
the meditations are more than the spiritual diary of a remarkable
leader and philosophic sage. Serious, clear-headed and insightful,

meditations written especially for gay men in recovery. These simple
yet powerful words of wisdom speak to our own unique experience - and
reflect upon issues that are rarely addressed by support groups or
recovery literature. These day-by-day messages of hope and healing
offer refreshing new insights into our most personal
concerns: homophobia, self-acceptance, coming out,
same-sex relationships, civil rights and much more. There are the
affirmations we need to grow with each passing day. To take charge of
our lives. And to empower our spirits with the brilliant light of
truth, beauty, encouragement and love. Perigee Publishing, 200

Moore, Thomas, Meditations: On
the monk who dwells in daily life, what every man needs to know.
Sometimes in their chanting monks will land upon a note and sing it
in florid fashion, one syllable of text for fifty notes of chant.
Melisma, they call it. Living a melismatic life in imitation of
plain-chant, we may stop on an experience, a place, a person, or a
memory and rhapsodize in imagination. Some like to meditate or
contemplate melismatically, while others prefer to draw, build,
paint, or dance whatever their eye has fallen upon. Living one point
after another is one form of experience, and it can be emphatically
productive. But stopping for melisma gives the soul its reason for
being. Harper, 1994 ISBN 0-06-017223-1 Buy

Osho, What is Meditation? In these pages, a
thoroughly modern mystic answers the question in dozens of thoroughly
modern ways. Meditation is fun, he says, a celebration and
relaxation. Meditation is scientific, he says elsewhere, an
experiment and a transformation. Everyone who has wondered what
meditation is will find that the author paints the answer with a
broad, inviting brush and with a remarkable variety of colors. And
those who have already begun to explore meditation will find their
understanding deepened and enriched by the author's expansive view.

Parker, Mina, Half Full: Meditations on
hope, optimism and the things that matter. Filling up our
metaphorical glasses makes our glasses more full. The best way to
feel like we've got a lot to give in this world is to give a lot. The
more we count our blessings, the more blessings we have to count.
This book is full of safe advice from a young writer who knows, first
hand, what to do when looking at the bright side fails. She puts her
fingers in her ears and sings loudly until she can't hear her own
negative messages. So sit back, put your feet up. Take some time to
get to know your inner optimist. And, if you inner pessimist tries to
take over, follow this simple procedure: the glass is half empty
anyway, so drink it, or dump it over someone's head. Shake things up,
exaggerate your troubles until you can laugh them away. The next time
you're tempted to daydream - do it! Each of the mini-essays or
meditations is an invitation to look at your life. Based on wise
quotes from an eclectic collection of folks, these little essays
speak to our hearts and minds, our funny bones and optimist muscles.

Rosemond, John,
Because I Said So: 366 insightful and thought-provoking
reflections of parenting and family life. The author's latest
work covers every conceivable aspect of parenting from Allowances to
Sibling rivalry with the same characteristic wit and practical wisdom
that millions of parents have cherished in his six previous books.
This day-to-day collection contains 366 tips or "reflections" for
battle-worn parents, one per dated page. True to form, the
reflections are often humorous, always commonsensical, and always
thought-provoking. Taken together, they illuminate the complex web
that exists between child rearing, marriage and the family. The
author's philosophy harkens back to a simpler time when "because I
said so" was the only reason a parent ever needed to give a child.
Nothing has changed. Successful parenting still calls for the same
basic ingredients that worked for thousands of previous generations.
By following his old-fashioned, common sense advice, parents can
avoid raising children who are spoiled and sassy, and deal
effectively with daily problems as diverse as bedwetting and boredom,
territoriality and television. Andrews & McMeel, 4520 Main

Schaef, Anne Wilson,
Laugh! I Thought I'd Die (if
I didn't): Daily meditations on healing through
humor. Whether we're in recovery for alcoholism, codependency,
gambling, drug or eating disorders, we all share one basic
experience: recovery is hard work. And often it's when we're
pushing our programs the hardest that recovery seems more elusive
than ever. At these times, letting go, even laughing at ourselves,
can be the most healing gift of all. Here is a daily meditation book
that addresses the need for laughter and lightness in Twelve Step
living. Each entry takes a humorous, ironic, or rueful look at such
aspects of recovery as denial, grandiosity, gratitude and change. The
meditations show us that humor can be a great way to tease ourselves
into new awareness - awareness that often emerges when we least
expect it. By turns irreverent and provocative, this book will serve
as a daily reminder that we all have the right to experience a full
range of emotions in our lives, especially joy and laughter. After
all, that's what recovery is all about. Ballantine Books, 1990

Meditations for Men Who Do Next to Nothing: and would like to do

choices every day that have far-reaching effects on our health,
happiness and how often we score with the babes -0 or, indeed, if we
ever do. Do we couragesouly negotiate the potholes on the running
track of life? Or do we take stock of our situation and
realize that victory is hollow, and that what we really want to do is
sit down, crack a frosty, turn on the tube, and watch some other
loser run the race? Here, then, is a man's treasury of
quotations, ruminations, and belly-scratching fits of mumbling to

Steinsaltz, Adin, Simple Words: Thinking about what really
matters in life. The real quest is to understand the words that
we use constantly, for these are the foundation of our existence.
What are they? What are they made of? These words, as
powerful as they are, are also very foggy. They have a meaning for
each of us, but what precisely is that meaning? Clarifying our
understanding of simple words will not just change our way of
speaking - it will also change our way of thinking and change our
basic feelings. When we know certain things about those words, we
become different people; we are recreated. Simon & Schuster,

Affirmations: What I Am Has Beauty
& Strength. Most of the organizations and structures in
the world around you are designed to take away your individual power.
This book serves not so much to give you nice words to say to
yourself, but as a magnificent and devastating battle-plan, where you
learn to expand the power you already have in order to win back
absolute control of your life. That is the only true spiritual path
for you. Everything else is just a way station while you gather
enough confidence to step out on your own. You need your power back
and fast. To get it you will have to become like a "gorilla on the
path" and walk up to the system and lovingly demand your bone back.
At this point in your life you have enough courage, power and
charisma to push against the manipulations that are imposed on you
and win back absolute control. Using the power of the light within
you, you are able to pull energy from the Universal Mind. It will
give you a transcendent view that you can use for any endeavor you
choose. From time to time men and women like Thomas Jefferson,
Einstein, Francis Bacon and Ayn Rand have understood the simplicity
of this power and used it to exhibit genius. The same is easily

Zubaty, Rich, Water People. On South
Pacific islands, when the sun sets over the lagoon and the fishing
boats return, a stream of men carrying guitars and ukuleles forms
around the palm huts on the beach and flows up onto somebody's front
porch. While young kids splash and bathe in the turquoise light, old
men, married men, young men and boys wrap broad shoulders and thick
forearms around delicate instruments and begin singing in the
high-pitched voices of sea birds calling from another century. They
sing of love and courage and spiritual awakenings. Of sea journeys
and mystical roots and the wisdom of fish. They pluck their notes
from the surf and rhythms from the tide and melodies from the
currents of time. They've been doing this for thousands of years -

Have one at work, one in your home office or beside the phone, maybe one in your workspace at home or beside the john to remind you to be a human being rather than a human doing all the time, and a special one if you have children to give you ideas that remind you to spend more time with them.
