Clearly you are someone who is looking for meanings to life. In your search for them you have perhaps been spending an inordinate amount of time strolling and basking in say the company of Tolle, Dyer, Chopra, Winfrey, Coelho, Meyer, Jakes, O'Donohue, Glenstal, Byrne and Nietzsche and even the Dalai Lama. Howsoever, of late you have been feeling the need to be on the look out for possible alternatives; alternatives that would be edging out of the ordinary, if not in fact hovering outside it for extended periods of time. If such is the case, then you owe it to yourself to give this present contemplative work some serious consideration. Assuredly, it will not disappoint for here is an exceptional book; a virtual cornucopia of original accumulated wisdom; a treasure trove of creative philosophical allegories that you will greatly enjoy delving into.

"The I one Jesus of Sepphoris of Galilee clearly state that herein is carried my true and consistent testimony as written in my own hand from the time of my appearing on a bank of the Jordan River to my post-resurrection on the outskirts of Jerusalem." There thus begins this one of a kind harbinger of goodness. Written with much enthusiasm and passion the narrative movement is lively and yet of a comfortable pace having as it does an attractive sensibility and quest. It invites the reader to a refreshing manner of wisdom and thought which encourages an earnest commitment to live a morally good life. It puts forth the view that to be truly human we need to live nobly and that to live nobly we need to be of a fearless trust. This is a work of fiction fashioned from a single source, namely The Gospel According to Mark. It presents an authentic eye-witness testimony; a first person narrative of certain events which took place in the life of a one Jesus of Sepphoris.

From Ireland: a mystical and beautiful isle of the north eastern Atlantic Ocean renowned for its mighty storytellers comes a collection of ten original long stories for children aged 8-12 their parents, grandparents, and their teachers. These are imaginary stories told by an imaginary schoolteacher to imaginary students in an imaginary Irish countryside primary school. Principal, Declan McGrath is highly respected by parents and greatly loved by his students not alone for the way he admirably teaches them but also for the marvellous lively-paced contemporary narratives he shares with them. In his voice is found a lovely natural rhythm and rhyme that is pure music to the ears of his students. Although the stories have a local Irish setting or bearing they are not parochial; far from it for they aspire to and deal with universal themes and concerns in a way that a reader in any part of the world will be able to relate to and enjoy.

Monk Colombano Europaggio of Bobbio, Italy is a passionate mettlesome heir to St. Columbanus of Bangor, Ireland. His heart-wrenching vexations, frustrations, and anxieties with so many pressing concerns such as absolutism, totalitarianism, puritanism, fanaticism; the biosphere, conflicts, wars, belief, vocation, chastity and marriage, and of the Church hierarchy's lack of courage to take action on what is happening to Christians in for instance Syria are also among our own pressing concerns. His courageous journeying through these potentially hazardous fields leading to his discovery of a treasure trove of solaces unfolds for us a contentment and a hope for a better tomorrow. The work which appears on this the 1400th anniversary of the passing of St. Columbanus is dedicated to the Vatican Secretary of State: His Eminence, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. It is ornately illustrated with 112 original dream depictions.

While it is customary to have a spiritual book be solely on spirituality; a philosophical on philosophy, and a romantic on romance, it is rare indeed to come across a work that incorporates all three. Such a work is Visitant Eve. All saffron hued in a delightful Taoist sunshine is it a uniquely innovative work; a work of spirituality, philosophy, and romance having distinct Jewish, Christian, and Islamic associations. Save for the dream 'Right to live' which was written in June 2013, the work dates from December 2009 to August 2010. The charming interwoven love story is an adaptation of Scottish poet Andrew Lang's beautiful 1887 translation of the 12th century French work, Aucassin et Nicolete. At a time when the world is felt to be greatly in need of some genuine moral courage, does this succinct work from a nuptial hermit of the isle of Éire (Ireland), admirably go someways towards an attempted response to that need. ONLY AVAILABLE from this store.

Of an eve in December 2013, the voice of Khalil Gibran visits Irish philosopher, poet, publisher, Richard of Éire while the latter is enjoying a cup of tea in a hotel lobby in Cork city in Ireland. He has an extraordinary favour to ask. He explains that while he was in this life he had never produced a literary work dedicated to William Butler Yeats. He expresses that he has a growing need to sing a deeper song to the world; to build a greater tower in the sky which he would dedicate to Yeats. To give light of day to this aspiration he has sought out the attentive ear and diligent pen of Richard of Éire. Bradawn Yeats is this deeper song; this greater tower. This is a work that could also very well serve as an enlightening resource for both the everyday-in-the-world lay contemplative of any or no creed, and the cloistered; a means of introducing them to the possibility of familiar concepts having surprising and endless associations.

Richard of Eire the self-originating philosopher, poet, artist, and publisher presents this metaphor rich life regression work as a miracle for our own day and a blessing for the generations to come. By means of dialogues, poems, letters and articles on love, culture, heritage, morality, and the environment he visits a past of himself in the 'present' rather than a past of himself in the 'past' per se. This beautifully engaging compact offering is a work of fiction based on a good deal of factual input; a cornucopia of literary unpredictability. The transcending message of this chanson d'amour parfumée may be best summed up by stating that while love invites us to love it is to friendship that we are we called. The work is presented in a 'status update format' embroidered with the author's own exquisite digital artwork. A beautiful volume inspiring ardent trust, hope, and love in self throughout the ages. A CD/Mp3 album of poems from the text is also available.

A purely philosophical-poetic work, Hearing in the Write shows a marvellous fluidity and rapidity of thought... While it neither advocates nor adheres to any philosophy per se; a philosophy in the sense of being a time-honoured discipline hauling and dragging after itself otiose luggage of correct principles of reasoning, it definitely does concern itself in its own lyrical way with profound questions on what exists, what are some of the essential natures of things, how we live our lives, what 'knowledges' are thought to be, and above all it concerns itself with safeguarding the spontaneity of speculation... This delightfully exhilarating work has healing qualities about it in that through means of its powerfully nebulous thought engagements it encourages the mind back out into the heartland of wondrously uninhibited speculations... Hearing in the Write presents diversion and digression in thought and expression as essential ingredients for the good of our intellectual health.

Profound reflections by Richard Mc Sweeney on a sampling of life's eternal concerns.... Like all Richard's writings, [Generations Reaching] is being presented as a time barque for the generations of our future, thence enabling them to know and to come to appreciate the reflections and aspirations that one of their ancestors had with respect to a sampling of life's eternal concerns, while happily living simply and plainly with his wife and two children in a 21st century of his era, in a beautiful border village that the people of his day called Tallow, on the lovely isle they called Eire, of the fragile planet they called Earth, of the.... As honoured guests, does Richard cordially invite we his contemporaries on board the exquisite Time Barque of the Eternal Ocean for its precious cargo to bethink for ourselves, and to bless before it sets sail from out of the bay of our own day, for the unknown worlds of the future................

This unique work, established on Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet was debuted and warmly received at an International Conference on Gibran held in Beirut in April 2006.... Given the state that the world is in today, the author is of the strong opinion that a woman's word would be more effective in bringing about a qualitative change, and even more warmly received by peoples of the world, and of his native Ireland, than say a man's, especially, if she were perceived by them to be in every way exceedingly beautiful. The work Myriam of Lebanon has been his answer.... It presents a philosopher-poetess called Myriam from the Phoenician port city of Byblos of the land of Lebanon who visits the isle of Eire and while there shares of her profound wisdom.... This work is a bright beacon of hope and strength for our times and beyond; a beautiful and endearing work born of the green fields of Eire and the snow-capped mountains of Lebanon.

A genre-breaking work readily encouraging and lending itself to comparison and contrast with the Holy Bible, the Holy Qur'an, and the Holy Tanakh as well as with the principal philosophical Taoist texts, namely the Tao Te Ching and The Chuang-Tzu....Essentially a contemplative work, written as it is to be interpreted both exoterically and esoterically is an attempt to restore to the bright - the light, the memory, and the power of insight, dream, and intuition....A necessary caveat respectfully to the reader: neither the Jesus of the Gospels nor the Isa (Arabic for Jesus) of the Qur'an exists here within no more....Rather what exists here within is a Jesus of Richard's own inspiration, and, who to his own heart is eminently credible, enjoyable, and profound....The work traverses the lands we in modern times would refer to as the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria....See Preface for more.
