The Daily Tao: 365 Meditations on the Tao Te Ching by William Martin 

US pub date - 12/3/24

I’ve been meditating for 18+ months at this point and it’s changed my life for the better ❤️ I was, therefore, so thankful to receive early access to The Daily Tao and read it with gratitude. 

This book of daily meditations is one I plan to buy on audiobook upon publication so I can listen to one each day while preparing for meditation. The daily meditation thoughts  provide the reader with terrific and inspiring messages. 

I found so much within these pages and really appreciated my reading of this. 

A full recommendation from me. 

Thank you to Hachette Go and NetGalley for the DRC

“Earlier that day....” This morning, in Italy, a conference on new religions included what I can only assume was a stunning and fantastic presentation on “Pandeism, or the Creator Who Becomes the Universe: its Roots in Developments” by Michele Amicarelli.

Today, You Have Paradise

We often think about us being here and God being way over there.  We are often misled by the devil and our sinful nature that God is somewhere else and we are alone until that day.  Often times prayer may even seem like we are reaching out to God and hoping that He hears us and will answer.  We are constantly in this struggle between being a sinner and a saint.  We are both right here and now…

Biblical and Present-Day Capital Punishment

As of May 2019, twenty-nine states still support the death penalty. It has been abolished in Washington DC and in the rest of the states. In 2018, out of forty-two death sentences in the US, only twenty-five people were actually executed. And as of April 2019, there were a total of 2,673 people on death row in the US, including fifty-four women and twenty-two juveniles. Some Americans believe the death penalty to be unconstitutional and a grave offense against the most Supreme Judge of them all. Some people believe that every one of us deserves a second chance and that only God can take away the life that He gave. When we look more closely at the unbelievable crimes committed by the people now waiting on death row, or when we look at the crime rate in our society, can we honestly assert that the death penalty is really too much? When we protect the life and the rights of these grave offenders, including rapist and murderers, are we taking into consideration the life and the rights of their victims or their would-be victims if they are ever, somehow, released back to society? When we use God to argue the pros and cons of capital punishment, what does God really say about such a situation? The Bible prescribes death for a variety of criminal and social infractions, e.g., murder, adultery, witchcraft, worshipping other gods, and male-male sexual intercourse, among others. The Bible would have adulterous women, disobedient children, people who fraternize with believers in non-sanctioned religions, as well as other offenders, killed or, at least, stoned. Taking into account all these, are we too lenient in punishing crimes, or is the implementation of the death penalty justified? In a previous blog post, we discussed whether or not a stint in prison corrected behavior (INSERT BLOG 7 URL: Punishment or Primer: Does a Stint in Prison Correct Behavior?). If prison is not the answer—if a stint in prison leads merely to repeat offenses—then how should we, as a law-abiding society, punish gross acts of misconduct? Read the full article

The Healing Power of Your Subconscious Mind: A Powerful Guide to Heal Your Life by Joseph Murphy 

US pub date - 11/19/24

My own fault for not researching this author beforehand, but the title and entirely non-religious synopsis appealed but this trod far too heavily on the Judeo-Christian God aspect for my personal tastes (believer, but not religious). This definitely affected my reading enjoyment and if it hadn’t been a NetGalley title, I would have given up after the second chapter. 

While I do believe in the power of the subconscious mind and I’m sure others will find the positivity in this combination title - two reprint titles in one book, it didn’t work at all for me since it was really, really, really heavy on the God-Jesus mentions - it permeated each and every chapter and I had a difficult time separating the wheat from the chaff. And what I did get struck me hypocritical - if you don’t get what you pray for, you didn’t pray correctly - I don’t like this type of message; blaming the reader strikes me as the author being unable to explain the prayer-lifestyle connection with any cognizant and rational reasoning. 

For the hypocrisy alone, I cannot and do not recommend this.

Thank you St. Martin’s Essentials and NetGalley for the DRC

(via 'Meditation For People Who Can't Meditate' by Dr. Samuel Steinberg)

[authorlourdesduquebaron-blog]

A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called “leaves”) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time—proof that humans can work magic.
