“No se trata de un libro escrito por mí, sino que me ha ocurrido a mí”. —Neale Donald Walsch Había llegado al límite. Se encontraba en ese momento en que el dolor —el peor dolor, el que produce la soledad de espíritu —amenazaba con llevarle a la más terrible desesperación. ¿Qué mejor prueba podía tener de la inexistencia de Dios que su sufrimiento sin sentido? Y si Dios existiera ¿no podría, en su soledad, hablarle? Fue este último gesto de esperanza el que obró el milagro. A partir de esta reveladora experiencia, Conversaciones con Dios es la transcripción del más infrecuente —aunque quizá el más necesario— de los diálogos, a través del cual se revela un Dios tolerante, conocedor profundo de las virtudes y las debilidades del ser humano y, por ello, más interesado en proponernos una actitud en la vida que en exigirnos rígidas normas. Un Dios, pues, humano, en la medida en que los hombres estamos hechos a Su imagen y semejanza. Sencilla, clara y, sobre todo, esperanzadora, Conversaciones con Dios es una obra que tiene vocación de dejar huella, de ayudar a los seres humanos a ver sus relaciones con Dios desde otra perspectiva, de permitirles ser mejores sin por ello deshumanizarse con un exceso de exigencias.

A renowned, respected teacher and mentor to thousands, Sobonfu Somi is one of the first and foremost voices of African spirituality to come to the West. 
Somi was born in Dano, Burkina Faso, a remote West African village with a population of about two hundred people. Dano has preserved the old ways of African village life, with family structures, spiritual practices, and methods of living that have been in place for more than ten thousand years. In The Spirit of Intimacy, Somi distills the ancient teachings and wisdom of her native village to give insight into the nature of intimate relationships. 
Somi generously applies the subtle knowledge from her West African culture to this one. Simply and beautifully, she reveals the role of spirit in every marriage, friendship, relationship, and community. She shares ancient ways to make our intimate lives more fulfilling and secure and offers powerful insights into the "illusion of romance," divorce, and loss. Her important and fascinating lessons from the heart include the sacred meaning of pleasure, preparing a ritual space for intimacy, and the connection between sex and spirituality. Her ideas are intuitively persuasive, provocative, and healing--and supported by sound practical advice, along with specific rituals and ceremonies based on those used for thousands of years. 
With this book, the spiritual insights of indigenous Africa take their place alongside those of native America, ancient Europe, and Asia as important influences on Western readers.

Divine Hierarchies: Class in American Religion and Religious Studies

Placing the neglected issue of class back into the study and understanding of religion, Sean McCloud reconsiders the meaning of class in today's world. More than a status grounded in material conditions, says McCloud, class is also an identity rhetorically and symbolically made and unmade through representations. It entails relationships, identifications, boundaries, meanings, power, and our most ingrained habits of mind and body. He demonstrates that employing class as an analytical tool that cuts across variables such as creed, race, ethnicity, and gender can illuminate American religious life in unprecedented ways.Through social theory, historical analysis, and ethnography, McCloud makes an interdisciplinary argument for reinserting class into the study of religion. First, he offers a new three-part conception of class for use in studying religion. He then presents a focused cultural history of religious studies by examining how social class surfaced in twentieth-century theories of religious affiliation. He concludes with historical and ethnographic case studies of religion and class. Divine Hierarchies makes a convincing case for the past and present importance of class in American religious thought, practice, and scholarship.

About the Author\nDaniel Walker Howe is Rhodes Professor of American History, Oxford.

Dating back 450 years and still evolving, Unitarianism is a faith which imposes no creed or dogma on its followers. It is a community of individuals, each on their own spiritual journey, each guided by their own reason and conscience. So what, if anything, binds them together? The author set out to discover what contemporary British Unitarians actually believe, and how they give expression to their faith in their daily lives. She conducted an in-depth survey in 2017, seeking answers to questions such as: How do you perceive 'the Divine'? ... What is your relationship with Christianity and other faith traditions? ... Do you have a regular spiritual practice? ... What happens after we die? ... Should religion and politics be kept separate from each other? ... What are your views on gender, sexuality, and marriage? ... What is the basis of your personal morality? ... and many more. This book presents the findings of the survey. In attempting to assess the range and depth of present-day Unitarian beliefs, values, and spiritual practices, it explores what it is that holds Unitarians 'together in diversity'.

Sacred Nature: The Environmental Potential of Religious Naturalism

Sacred Nature examines the crisis of environmental degradation through the prism of religious naturalism, which seeks rich spiritual engagement in a world without a god. Jerome Stone introduces students to the growing field of religious naturalism, exploring a series of questions about how it addresses the environmental crises, evaluating the merits of public prophetic discourse that uses the language of spirituality. He presents and defends the concept of religious naturalism while drawing out the implications of religious naturalism for addressing some of the major environmental issues facing humans today. This book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scholars specializing in contemporary religious thought or environmental studies.
