Theology and the Religions: A Dialogue 4 reviews
Eerdmans Publishing, 2003
A good text
This is a good text on interfaith/multicultural dialogue. Do not let the low reviews be an indicator because they bought without looking to see if Aragorn was actually a professor of theology and then panning the book with a bad review and not chalk it up to their own impulsiveness.

Whispers from Eternity: First Version 9 reviews Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-Realization Fellowship, 1929
A Masterpiece of Mystic Poetry
+ Swami Kriyananda tells the story about his decision to edit this great book.
This is a beautiful book, filled with poems that not only touch the heartstrings, but uplift and expand the spirit. In the West we've had some great mystic poets (St. John of the Cross, et al), but in my opinion, these verses surpass in beauty and inspiration anything of their kind written to date. ...

The Enlightened Mind 8 reviews Stephen Mitchell
Harper Perennial, 1993
So many stars, one sky.
+ The Enlightened Mind + Remove the log from thine own eye first.......
This is an excellent anthology of sacred prose. Stephen Mitchell was very ecumenical and egalitarian in his selection process. Such a lack of bias is clear evidence of his own enlightened understanding where the universality of truth is concerned. No one, no cult, no philosophy, no religion, has a ...
