Book Description
In Divine Audacity, Peter Dillard presents a historically informed and rigorous analysis of the themes of mystical union, volition and virtue that occupied several of the foremost theological minds in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. In particular, the work of Marguerite Porete raises complex questions in these areas, which are further explored by a trio of her near contemporaries. Their respective meditations are thoroughly analysed and then skilfully brought into dialogue. What emerges from Dillard's synthesis of these voices is a contemporary mystical theology that is rooted in Hugh of Balma's affective approach, sharpened through critical engagement with Meister Eckhart's intellectualism, and strengthened by crucial insights gleaned from the writings of John Ruusbroec. The fresh examination of these thinkers - one of whom paid with her life for her radicalism - will appeal to philosophers and theologians alike, while Dillard's own propositions demand attention from all who concern themselves with the nature of the union between the soul and God.

Book Description
MARY MROZOWKI WAS AN ORDINARY NEW YORKER WHO BECAME EXTRAORDINARY. The Audacity to be Divine is a revelatory tale of transformation, resilience and unparalleled truth-seeking. Mary was a quintessential New York housewife living in the depth of despair. Bearing the secret of her family's tumultuous past, Mary reclaimed her truth and strove for redemption against all odds -- transcending as a social activist, international organizer, and spiritual leader for the masses. Mary was able to transcend worlds. Having integrated Christian modalities with Eastern philosophies, she established a lay monastic house of contemplation called "Chrysalis House." She mingled as an equal with spiritual and religious leaders, companions and strangers. As her teachings led her across five continents, thousands followed, considering her a modern day saint, role model for transformation, and sage for self-fulfillment. Seeking truth was her religion. Amidst a sea of neutrally-dressed spiritual leaders, out would walk Mary - a vision in a bold red dress and heels. She did not fit in and she did not want to -- she was embraced by those who found solace in her relatability and charisma beyond measure.

Book Description
At eight years old in 1968 Magnus Duruji saw the evil of Communism and Islamic fundamentalism through the ravages of a civil war, his mother dragging him and his four little siblings into an underground bomb bunker behind his house, built by his father with the help of his brother and a male refugee. Then in 1970 at age eleven Magnus , his parents and his seven siblings survived the civil war after barrage of roaring and thundering brutal bombardment in my little farming country hometown from then Soviet Union, now Russia, and from the Arab Islamic fighter pilots in Russian MIGS and British Harrier Jets on behalf of then divided national Nigerian government , but, only to make it into the United States for freedom to be thrown into Prison on a disguised U.S. Department of Justice Immigration illegal imposition when applicable laws weren't retroactive in non criminal dynamic events relevant to Magnus Duruji. Unconstitutionally imprisoned by the U&.S. department Of Justice Immigration ICE, and consequently shuffled from one prison to another in his quest to become a United States citizen, Magnus fasted and cumulatively cried out to God for Divine intervention. Magnus exchanged a solemn oath of promise with God if He will intervene and make His presence practically clear that He God exists. Well, the rest of the fight for for freedom to become an American Citizen was Divinely written. This is the story about my childhood journey for Freedom from age eight to now 52, tipping in the United States of America. " In America you fight, you don't give up" Magnus Duruji, quoted in the Columbus Dispatch February 23, 2012; Associated Press February 24,2012The Audacity of Courage challenges our conscience in relation to our belief in a free democratic system by taking us back to examine our relationship with the Purest form of Goodness: God. Through perseverance , a new level of humility was attained but not without audacious spiritually directed content of missteps and emergentic guidelines that may lead freedom. But, for this quest of freedom to be romantically fulfilled, the emergentic driving energy will challenge the very pristine document that currently holds the conscience of mankind to order: The Constitution of the United States. The issues that emerge in an effort to derail the mother of life known as "freedom" as enshrined in the U.S. constitution will also escalate through invisible rowdy noise of energy calling for the release of an innocent man through pious legal frame work. Interestingly, the journey of freedom for American citizen Magnus Duruji only serves as an instrument or tool if you will to showcase the the character of the American mind. "What is the mind mind"? The American mind is the in-dominate spirit of the American people to sacrifice their blood, their reputation, their wealth and their character for the good of all. This spirit of true will of character representative for all Americans in the people of the Great State Of Ohio ( my adopted home State) is what makes America " The Land and Home of the freest people in the world. Ohio fought for me and my family free of color and accent. They only had interest in the preservation of the Great Constitution of the United States of America. Well, the audacity of courage is a politically incorrect book of the 21st century. it calls out the blights of arrogance in the current politically correct world we live. The American mind endures the truth it hurts in the politically correct society we live in. Thus, the Audacity of Courage highlights the story of a man who by his fathers mythological bedtime stories aspired for the United States of America. Having obtained permissible work student Visa directly from then U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Thomas Pickering Jr. Magnus Duruji arrived in the United States in 1981. "Will Magnus Duruji be welcomed by ICE" To say the least, his welcome will only become unfolding unconstitutional events in profiling.

Book Description
Experience Oneness with the Divine and Light Up the World On the publication of her first book, Larry Dossey, MD, author of Prayer Is Good Medicine , wrote: “Martella-Whitsett is a wise guide." Her new book makes the audacious claim that each of us can be “the light of the world” Jesus instructed his followers to be. Martella-Whitsett offers a path for living a deep and authentic life outside of the strictures of traditional religious categories. A refreshing approach, in essence, on how to be spiritual without being religious. We need to jettison the idea of a God who is out there and above us. God is not a super-human who gives and takes, punishes and rewards. God does not require human suffering and repentance. We truly find God when we go inside to connect with divine light, realize our oneness with God and others, and let our light shine in the world. Martella-Whittset looks at what “divine light” is and how it is both audacious and normal to claim it for ourselves. Next she introduces us to 12 spiritual powers we can all develop and learn to use on a daily basis: faith, understanding, will, imagination, zeal power, love, wisdom, strength, order, release, and life itself. When we consciously shine our spiritual powers on ourselves, not only are our lives improved, but all of humanity can be enriched and transformed. Let your light shine!

She provided leadership and service in a wide range of organizations concerned with improving the conditions of women, African Americans, and other disadvantaged groups and also participated in peace activism. Among her many accomplishments, she created the first junior high school for black students in Washington, DC. In this long overdue biography, Carroll L. L. Miller and Anne S. Pruitt-Logan tell the remarkable story of Slowe's steadfast determination working her way through college, earning respect as a teacher and dean, and standing up to Howard's President and Board of Trustees in insisting on equal treatment of women.

Journalist Maximillian Potter uncovers a fascinating plot to destroy the vines of La Romance-Conti, Burgundy's finest and most expensive wine. In January 2010, Aubert de Villaine, the famed proprietor of the Domaine de la Romance-Conti, the tiny, storied vineyard that produces the most expensive, exquisite wines in the world, received an anonymous note threatening the destruction of his priceless vines by poison—a crime that in the world of high-end wine is akin to murder—unless he paid a one million euro ransom. Villaine believed it to be a sick joke, but that proved a fatal miscalculation and the crime shocked this fabled region of France. The sinister story that Vanity Fair journalist Maximillian Potter uncovered would lead to a sting operation by some of France's top detectives, the primary suspect's suicide, and a dramatic investigation. This botanical crime threatened to destroy the fiercely traditional culture surrounding the world's greatest wine. Shadows in the Vineyard takes us deep into a captivating world full of fascinating characters, small-town French politics, an unforgettable narrative, and a local culture defined by the twinned veins of excess and vitality and the deep reverent attention to the land that runs through it.
