Social Psychology of Inter-Group Reconciliation: From Violent Conflict to Peaceful Co-Existence

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

The volume begins with an overview by Herbert Kelman discussing reconciliation as distinct from related processes of conflict settlement and conflict resolution. Following that, the first section of the volume focuses on intergroup reconciliation as consisting of moving beyond feelings of guilt and victimization (i.e., socio-emotional ...

Islam and the West: Conflict, Co-Existence or Conversion

Colin Chapman

Paternoster Publishing, 1998

A Great Survey of the Issues
My title says it all. Chapman reviews all of the major questions of Christian/Western-Islamic relations with knowledge and objectivity. Good sources. Clearly written. I would recommend it highly.

How to Want What You Have: Discovering the Magic and Grandeur of Ordinary Existence

Timothy Miller

Henry Holt & Co, 1994

Timeless Wisdom Made Accessible and Practical
This is a funny sort of book. It is an incredible masterpiece disguised as a gimmecky self-help book. The presentation is clear, and demonstrative, yet the effectiveness is so subtle that you might not notice at first that your outlook on the world is changing, and ...

People and Wildlife, Conflict or Co-existence? (Conservation Biology)

Cambridge University Press, 2005

As humans continue to encroach into natural habitats, and conservation efforts restore wildlife to areas where they have been absent, contact between humans and wild animals is growing. Some species, even the endangered, can have serious impacts on human lives and livelihoods. Tigers kill people, elephants destroy crops and African wild dogs ...

The Sun Goddess: Myth, Legend and History

Sheena McGrath

Sterling Pub Co Inc, 1998

She Shines For All
"The Sun represents the God; the Moon represents the Goddess." Not always true. This book challenges the idea that female moons and male suns were the norm in ancient cultures, citing extensive mythology and folk legends involving the sun as a goddess. I found ...

Conversations with God, Book 1 Guidebook: An Uncommon Dialogue

Neale Donald Walsch

Hampton Roads Pub Co, 1997

What IF
It seems to me that the people who have given this book a less than desireable review are the ones who are steeped heavily into the brainwashed religious diatribes of what religions have been pushing down their throats as the truth. What they forget is that the bible ...

A Reasonable Life: Toward a Simpler, Secure, More Humane Existence (Albetruss House)

Ferenc Mate

W W Norton & Co Inc, 1993

WE NEED THIS BOOK MORE NOW THAN EVER
Today, the day after the election, I took this book off the shelf to read again. This country might be on fast slide down to disaster and I want to be reminded about what I can do to live a reasonable life. There is no stopping the slide now, it's out of control as ...

Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities: Essays on the Importance of Alternative Possibilities

Ashgate Pub Co, 2006

This book explores an important issue within the free will debate: the relation between free will and moral responsibility. In his seminal article "Alternate Possibilities and Moral Responsibility", Harry Frankfurt launched a vigorous attack on the standard conception of that relation, questioning the claim that a person is morally responsible for ...

Free Will and Determinism: A Dialogue

Clifford Williams

Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1980

a good little introduction to the free will debates
I found this book to be a useful introduction to the free will debates. One character is a compatiblist, the other a hard determinist, and the other an indeterminist-free willist. While the free-willist's position sometimes seems to be presented as a rather weak ...

Intimacy With God

Thomas Keating

Crossroad Pub Co, 1994

An excellent introduction to a very valuable practice
This is another excellent book from Father Thomas Keating and signifies a solid introduction to the theory and practice of Centering Prayer. I encourage anyone who has immersed themselves in any of the wonderful eastern meditational practices, but who have always ...

Twelve Lies You Hear About the Holy Spirit (Twelve Lies)

Tim Riter

Cook Communications Ministries (CO), 2004

A Must Read for ALL Believers!
Tim Riter, an unpretentious non-charismatic, evaluates the Twelve Lies You Hear About The Holy Spirit in layman's terms. Debunking charismatic stereotypes, Riter's message about the Holy Spirit's infilling is for all believers. Not an "anti-charismatic" but ...

Invitation to a Great Experiment: Exploring the Possibility That God Can Be Known

Thomas E. Powers

Crossroad Pub Co, 1990

Excellent manual on how to search for and find God.
The first edition of this book was published in 1959, under the title of FIRST QUESTIONS ON THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT. It is a beautifully done, no- nonsense method for developing a relationship with God, for attaining a connection to God. It would be hard for me to ...

She Who Is: The Mystery of God in Feminist Theological Discourse

Elizabeth A. Johnson

Crossroad Publishing Co ,U.S., 1992

The world needs She Who Is
Johnson writes with an ultimate goal in mind, that of a transformation into new community. Her vision is one in which harmony with each other and with the earth are realized; an eschatological dream of a new heaven and a new earth where justice dwells and partnership ...
