Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

Download or read book The Book of More Delights written by Ross Gay and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savor and share.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is Gods gift of love to the world. It is centuries of history acting as a faithful witness to the fact that God keeps His promises, every one. Glad Tidings of Great Joy explores five of these wonderful promises, that through these, we might celebrate Him all the more! For God so loved explores what it means to believe even as God promises that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Come and See explores the meaning of faith wherein God has promised that we are saved by grace, through faith. Faith is not blind; rather it is founded on the truth of Gods Word and anchored in the proofs (the evidence) of everything He has shown us through it! Come and see God with us is a refreshing look at Psalm 23 wherein David gives us a vivid and vibrant picture of life with God; Gods promise to ever be with us! Unto us a Child is Born is a study of Gods first and greatest promise, the promise given to Adam and Eve whereby redemption and reconciliation would be ours through the Seed of the woman. Christmas is the celebration of Jesus birth, and the basis of our faith that He will similarly keep all of His promises! Our God reigns is a glorious picture of Jesus, He who holds the keys of Death and Hades; He who stands strong, victorious, our Savior; the everlasting Lord of lords and King of kings, our amazing God! Glad Tidings of Great Joy is good news of enduring hope.
