Description

Seeking Compassion for the Bitter Demons of Our Nature

N. Michel Landaiche, III
This intensely powerful and personal piece opens with a question: "In the beginning — well before words, much less the means to write — how did we transmit from one to another, from generation to generation, our sense of the transcendent, our awareness of a larger pattern, purpose and meaning, our feel for a welcome moral order?" Themes weaving through "Seeking Compassion" include moral evolution and maturity, the spiritual substance found in death, violence in relation to the sacred, and the uglier traits of humans, such as shaming, stealing, killing and deceiving. A stunning essay, and one not to be missed.

A Peek Between the Covers

Joanne Winetzki
Joanne Winetzki says of Rabbi Rami Shapiro's Holy Rascals: Advice for Spiritual Revolutionaries, "Caution: This book could blow your mind. Then again, many of us might already be holy rascals." Or, in Shapiro's words, "We are not antireligion; we are anti-unhealthy religion.... We are not antibelief; we are anti-irrational belief.... We are not anti-God; we are anti-mad Gods."
