Choosing to Be Well
by Haven Logan"...Yet many of us with good intentions still struggle to adopt healthier lifestyles...Author Haven Logan, a psychotherapist in private practice, has found that unhealthy habits are almost always rooted in a lack of self knowledge about negative patterns and beliefs. These are usually expressed in internal dialogues between warring parts of ourselves. Logan employs the Hawaiian Huna tradition of basic, conscious, and High selves to explore these divisions. Dr. Logan's four-step program and the book's extensive exercises help us to integrate these misalignments, to listen to our bodies' cues, to identify and heal self-destructive patterns, and finally to consciously choose a healthy lifestyle. The goal is to support our natural inclinations instead of someone else's model of a "perfectly fit person." This is an original approach to the root cause of poor health, and a guide to living a healthier, happier life."

The Christ of the Mount: A Working Philosophy
by E. JonesThis book, which was first published in 1931, is for every person who suspects and hopes there is a better way to live responsibly and compassionately in the complex world we share. In this book, Jones challenges us to go deeper, question and ultimately discover the effect of Jesus’ principles on humanity, regardless one’s background or predisposed religious views.“I trust this book will be an unhesitating, but not a too-light, easy, ‘Yes’ to the question as to whether the Sermon on the Mount is practicable. If the reading of it brings to the reader what the writing of it has brought to the writer in these months of meditation, then we will both be repaid a hundredfold. A trusted friend said to the writer, ‘You are not a theologian; you are a divining rod. You tell us where there is water beneath—remember your function.’ In this book I have tried to remember my function. I have left to others the discussion of the critical questions involved in the accounts of the Sermon on the Mount as reported by Matthew and Luke. I have not been able to escape theological implications—who can escape them?—but I have tried to leave to the theologians the labeling of the wells and their more accurate description while I have endeavored to be true to my friend’s commission and have pointed to where in the Sermon on the Mount I think water may be found. There is water here—dig and drink!”—E. Stanley Jones, Introduction
Christ Our Mediator: Finding Passion at the Cross (LifeChange Books)
by C. J. MahaneyWHAT'S THE KEY TO HAVING MORE PASSION FOR CHRIST, THE CROSS, AND THE GOSPEL ? The answer is to look at the death of Christ not from our point of view, but from God's. That's what this book helps you do in a profound, strategic, and life-changing way. Author C. J. Mahaney exposes our human tendency to look at the Savior's death (and at everything else!) through our own subjective feelings and impressions, rather than from the standpoint of objective truth. By nature we always begin with ourselves rather than with God. But by following the God-first "Divine Order" in how we think--and by asking "What do I believe?" instead of "How do I feel?"--we're freed up to embrace the right truth in the right way. The right feelings quickly follow, and they're reliable because they're anchored in truth.The Secret to Sustaining Joy Do you desire more passion for Christ? Then learn to see His death not from our point of view, but from God's. Author C. J. Mahaney puts you at our Savior's side--and into His soul--during the most emotionally wrenching moments of His final hours. As you better understand the true nature of His struggle, you'll grasp more than ever the staggering significance of why Jesus died...and fully experience His sacrifice as a personal act of love for you. Allow the deepest truths of Calvary to stir your passion for Christ our mediator into a flame that burns your whole life long. Story Behind the BookThere's nothing more overpowering than to climb Calvary 's hill in childlike attentiveness and wonder, with all our distractions and wrong assumptions cleared away. This book was written that we might be gripped by gratitude and enflamed in passion for the Savior, Christ our Mediator, who suffered the Father's righteous wrath for us.From the Hardcover edition.
