Spirit Journey

01/08/08 • -1 min

Spirit Journey is a short glimpse into the Gospel of Matthew and the Parables of Jesus. This parable, 'The Salt of The Earth' gives us great insight into Jesus' understanding of the role of moderation in all things spiritual. He encourages us to be flavorful, but not overpowering. Focused on our beliefs and ability to inspire, but not overbearing. The text is Matthew 5:13 and I write a short commentary and offer a benedictory prayer.

The Tao of Christ

I wrote this book out of my astonishment at the similarity of the teaching of Lao Tzu and Jesus of Nazareth. The fact that they lived 25 centuries apart makes their consistency and comparability more amazing. The teachings in this chapter reveal the power of a small seed of self knowledge and hope to shape and reshape a life. This is a beautiful book and contains great insights from two of the world's greatest teachers.
