The Hidden Power of the Gospels Four Questions, Four Paths, One Journey - By Alexander Shaia, Michelle Gaugy

In the tradition of such writers as Thomas Moore and Don Hidden PowerMiguel Ruiz, Shaia reveals how the recurring cycles of change, loss, enlightenment, and maturation are illuminated by the Bible's four gospels. Combining ancient Christian traditions, anthropology, and modern psychology, he reveals what has been in front of our eyes for two thousand years: that each of the gospels is centered on a different core metaphor and each focuses on a vital spiritual question.  "Alexander Shaia reclaims the Christian gospels as religious practices shared across spiritual traditions-minds abiding in peace, guided by love, mandated to serve. This book is a jewel." - Sylvia Boorstein, Ph.D., bestselling author of Happiness Is an Inside Job

A Burning Desire - Dharma God & the Path of Recovery
by Kevin Griffin

A Burning Desire is a gift for those who struggle with the Twelve Step program's focus on  the need to surrender to a Higher Power. Taking a radical departure from traditional views of God, author Kevin Griffin shows how the Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha, can be understood as a Higher Power. Karma, mindfulness, impermanence, and the Eightfold Path itself are revealed as powerful forces that can be accessed through meditation and inquiry. Drawing from his own experiences with substance abuse, rehabilitation, and recovery, Griffin looks at the various ways that meditation and spiritual practices helped deepen his experience of sobriety. His personal story of addiction guides readers to an inquiry of their own spirituality. In doing so, he poses profound questions, including:
How can I understand God from a Buddhist perspective?
How can I "turn my will and my life over" as a Buddhist?
How can this idea of God "remove my shortcomings?
How do I learn this God's "will"?
