FINDING YOUR PLACE
WITHIN THE CIRCLE
We each live in a personal universe of
ever expanding circles. The closest circle is the one that defines our personal
relationship with our own immortal, divine nature – our Actual Self. This exists
within the circle that defines our Immortal relationship with Father/Mother Creator God of
the Cosmos and all God Children. We are an important part of other circles that define our
relationship to others, ranging from close, personal and intimate, to professional, to
community, to nation, to planet, and finally the planet’s relationship to the All.
With this selection of titles, many of
which have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list, we
offer the thoughts, wisdom, and experience of authors who have searched within their own
hearts, minds and experiences for keys to understanding that special "sweet
spot" which defines an
individual’s relationship to other components of any circle.
From the close,
intimate expressions of the personal Heartsongs of Mattie Stepanek, to the
exploration of group dynamics in communication presented by William Isaacs; from the
Native American wisdom shared by Jamie Sams to the ancient wisdom of the East explored by
Chatterlee, and all those in between, our selections will help you not only find your
place within each circle, but to do so with clarity, inspiration
and enlightened power.
 JOURNEY THROUGH
HEARTSONGS
Mattie J.T. Stepanek
Making it to the top of the New York
Times Bestseller list is a remarkable feat for any author. In the case of
Journey Through
Heartsongs, it is absolutely amazing! This is a book of poetry written by a
remarkable, eleven-year-old boy, who uses this medium to share his Heartsongs – his
thoughts, perceptions and feelings about life, death, the beauty of nature, Angels and the
gift of God’s love.
Be prepared to laugh and to cry as you
take the Journey with Mattie.

 HEARTSONGS
Mattie J.T. Stepanek

 HOPE THROUGH
HEARTSONGS
Mattie J.T. Stepanek
“...A heartsong is something deep
inside each of us. It’s our sense of why we are here and how we can keep going. It is
like a purpose. It may be to live as a mommy or a daddy, or a firefighter or a deliver
person, or a child with a disability who teaches others about patience and love and
acceptance. Heartsongs are usually easy to hear when we are young, but we sometimes
get too busy or hurt or angry to listen to them as we get older. And, just like any gift
that isn’t cared for or used well, it is possible to forget how to listen to the
message of each song, But even if we completely lose our heartsong, we can share someone
else’s song until we are able to reawaken or recreate our own. ...”
“Hope for Within”, “Hope
for Each Other” and “Hope for Our World” are areas for which Mattie shares
his Heartsongs. “9-11...2001” and “For Our World” are two especially moving pieces in
this collection of remarkable wisdom from Mattie – Poet and Peacemaker.

 THE SOUL’S
RELIGION
Thomas Moore
“Cultivating a
profoundly spiritual way of life” and “turning spirituality upside down
to find one’s own path” are two subtitles for Thomas Moore’s new
publication – The Soul’s
Religion.
Those familiar with
Moore’s gentle philosophy will find this new release a long-awaited companion to the
best seller, Care
of the Soul. Going beyond the traditions and rituals of organized religion, Moore
challenges the reader to build the sacred space in which each of us exists by awakening
awareness to the miraculous journey of the individual Soul. It is in the day-to-day
experiences that we find life’s deeper meanings which the Personality uses as
building material for this sacred “Temple of the Living God” through which the
Soul experiences and expresses itself.
