This book teaches step-by-step how early practitioners may have meditated in all three religions springing from the Middle East. Based on translations from Jesus' native language, Aramaic, Neil Douglas-Klotz links Jesus' own way of meditating to that of early Jewish and Islamic mystics. What he finds is a shared focus on sacred "beginnings" rather than on apocalyptic "endings." As he says: "This original meditation lies behind the Christians' awe at the rebirth of the Christ Child each midwinter. It fuels the heartfelt hope of Jews in the New Year celebraations of Rosh Hashana. And it roots the devotion of Muslims each year during the fast of Ramadan. These are all celebrations of hope, not fear, and of love, not hatred. By experiencing the creation story as our own, we have the same opportunity to renew ourselves and to deepen our connection with the Divine every day." We also experience the one meditative practice that might unite our Christian, Judaic, and Islamic communities in a troubled world.

1990: by Neil Douglas-Klotz- The author shares with us the Aramaic Language spoken when Christ was on the Earth.

In this dual biography, Douglas B. Craig examines the careers of two prominent American public figures, Newton Diehl Baker and William Gibbs McAdoo, whose lives spanned the era between the Civil War and World War II.Both Baker and McAdoo migrated from the South to northern industrial cities and took up professions that had nothing to do with staple-crop agriculture. Both eventually became cabinet officers in the presidential administration of another southerner with personal memories of defeat and Reconstruction: Woodrow Wilson. A Georgian who practiced law and led railroad tunnel construction efforts in New York City, McAdoo served as treasury secretary at a time when Congress passed an income tax, established the Federal Reserve System, and funded the American and Allied war efforts in World War I. Born in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, Baker won election as mayor of Cleveland in the early twentieth century and then, as Wilson's secretary of war, supervised the dramatic build-up of the U.S. military when the country entered the Great War in Europe.This is the first full biography of McAdoo and the first since 1961 of Baker. Craig points out similarities and differences in their backgrounds, political activities, professional careers, and family lives.Craig's approach in Progressives at War illuminates the shared struggles, lofty ambitions, and sometimes conflicted interactions of these figures. Their experiences and perspectives on public and private affairs (as insiders who nonetheless were, in some sense, outsiders) make their lives, work, and thought especially interesting. Baker and McAdoo, in league with Wilson, offer Craig the opportunity to deliver a fresh and insightful study of the period, its major issues, and some of its leading figures.

An all-star cast led by Gabriel Byrne, Ben Kingsley, Mimi Rogers, Jeffrey Tambor, Illeana Douglas, Paul Mazursky, Chris Mulkey and Kathy Baker takes on a shattering expose of the back-stabbing world of big business from the award-winning pen of Larry Gelbart (Tootsie/TV's M*A*S*H). Two media moguls with the world at their feet - under their feet in fact - want more. Each wants the other out of his way so he can be No. 1 and what starts as battle to buy football team ends up as a media war with n

Four Tet expands on the new age meditations of his recent singles with a freshly focused New Energy. Fully formed within the endlessly possible creative confines of Ableton Live, New Energy follows on from 2015's Morning / Evening and features contributions from Tom Baker & Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. - Mixing his usual classic trip-hop leanings with a digitized melodic and at times melancholic edge, New Energy neatly pulls together the lighter ends of Beautiful Rewind's house moves and Morning / Eve

Turns an ordinary ride up an office escalator into a meditation on our relations with familiar objects--shoelaces, straws, and more. Baker's debut novel, and a favorite amongst many of us here.

87 pages : illustrations, map, portraits ; 30 cm. Putting up a statue of Sherlock Holmes marked a real coming of age for the Society. The long held dream of the Society to have an image of Holmes in or near Baker Street had become a reality. A six day Festival was organised and a Handbook produced. Douglas West was specially commissioned to paint a picture for the cover. The editors pulled off two major coups by getting Prince Charles and Tony Blair to write brief foreword (Charles has been a 'life long devotee of the great detective' and Tony Blair not to be outdone, says that 'The Great Detective is a great British institution'. Not surprisingly there is a fair amount about the statue and John Doubleday's account of his approach to creating the statue is fascinating. John also compares the impression of the image he wished to convey of Sherlock Holmes with that he attempted to achieve when recording the personality of Nelson Mandela. His articles are accompanied by many photographs recording the birth of the statue. Richard Lancelyn Green looks back at the history of the Baker Street statue discussion, while Akane Higashiyama and Gordon MacNeill recall the statues of Holmes that already adorn Karuizawa and Edinburgh respectively. Other highlights are pieces by Bernard Davies and Roger Johnson about the Underground and the trains that ran on its rails, and an up-to-date look at Baker Street then and now from Catherine Cooke.

Douglas Kelly here reintroduces one of the richest periods of evangelical history, spanning the years 1791-1902, and captures its ethos in the lives of four of its most influential men: Daniel Baker, who spent his life as a missionary and itinerant evangelist though sought by a church and two U.S. Presidents for Washington; James Henley Thornwell, equally able as a pastor and professor but best remembered as a preacher 'wrapt in wonder at the love, humiliation and condescension of the Trinity'; Benjamin M. Palmer, who, in the words of a Jewish rabbi, 'got the heart as well as the ear of New Orleans'; and John L. Girardeau, 'the Spurgeon of America', who was so remarkably used among the black people of South Carolina. In addition to these moving lives, Dr. Kelly gives us many illuminating side-lights on Christians of the South, such as those of the Midway Church, Georgia, for whom 'religion was a matter of their brightest hopes, their warmest feelings, their deepest convictions'. The author is not only well-qualified to write on 'the old South' but, more important, he inspires a fresh vision of the great lessons embodied in his subjects. He convinces us of the truth of the words of R.L. Dabney: 'The real desideratum is not new methods, but fidelity to the old, a real revival in the hearts of ministers and Christians themselves, a faith that 'feels the power of the world to come", a solemn and deep love for souls. What we need most is repentance, and not innovation.'
