With his trademark wit and humorous stories from his personal life, Dr. Leman shows readers how to jump-start or revitalize their lives both spiritually and practically with words from one of the wisest men of all time. (Hint: It's not him.) Dr. Leman offers hope, courage, and a fresh perspective on living a great life, all in a compact, readable package. This lively and inspiring book makes the perfect gift for professionals, graduates, and anyone who could benefit from simple truths for living well.
The Way of the Wise, which is the main core of this book, is a desirable re-awakening of some neglected virtues of the Christian life in our time. Many persons feel that shouts of alleluia, exulting songs, praising and praying in more or less unknown tongues are proofs of being wise. As much as these may be true, they could be deceitful and without meaning. The early Christian fathers were wise in their own era with regards to knowing the wise way to reach God for their every day living. Author Benny Amu has taken time to delve into this subject with sanctified wisdom and revelatory knowledge that will enrich the reader's spiritual life.
The quest for discovering the inner person is pursued with a rare combination of perception, sensitivity and passion in this searching exploration of five key spiritual principles. In drawing on the insight of the great Masters from world religions across the centuries, Magdalena Lovejoy leaves no stone unturned in plumbing the depths of wisdom and hearing the truth from God. Universal laws are examined thoroughly that reveal the Way to inner fulfilment. The earnest seeker is challenged to distinguish between the true and the false self and engage in introspection to achieve self-empowerment. Calls to reject the world's inhibiting programming by looking within are signposts on the soul's journey. In learning to value the values that have been inspired by divine wisdom, the reader is encouraged to allow an inner mirror to reflect the reality of God's presence and be directed towards unlocking spiritual potential.
Now in paperback, here's the first nonfiction work from Joe Pistone since his New York Times #1 bestseller and hit movie, Donnie Brasco.

Now, years later, Pistone reassesses the underworld. Often poignant, and in startling detail, THE WAY OF THE WISEGUY gives readers a first-hand look at the psychology and customs of the wiseguy.The book features 34 chapters that reveal key principles of wiseguy life, including “How Wiseguys Carry Out a Hit,” “How Wiseguys Get Straightened Out,” and “A Typical Day in the Life of a Wiseguy.” Pistone's spellbinding stories provide a first-hand look at this lawless realm of badguys, which is often uncannily relevant to the workings of legitimate big business and everyday social discourse.

“If I had been present at the Creation,” the thirteenth-century Spanish philosopher-king Alfonso X is said to have stated, “Many faults in the universe would have been avoided.” Known as El Sabio, “the Wise,” Alfonso was renowned by friends and enemies alike for his sparkling intellect and extraordinary cultural achievements. In The Wise King, celebrated historian Simon R. Doubleday traces the story of the king's life and times, leading us deep into his emotional world and showing how his intense admiration for Spain's rich Islamic culture paved the way for the European Renaissance. In 1252, when Alfonso replaced his more militaristic father on the throne of Castile and León, the battle to reconquer Muslim territory on the Iberian Peninsula was raging fiercely. But even as he led his Christian soldiers onto the battlefield, Alfonso was seduced by the glories of Muslim Spain. His engagement with the Arabic-speaking culture of the South shaped his pursuit of astronomy, for which he was famed for centuries, and his profoundly humane vision of the world, which Dante, Petrarch, and later Italian humanists would inherit. A composer of lyric verses, and patron of works on board games, hunting, and the properties of stones, Alfonso is best known today for his Cantigas de Santa María (Songs of Holy Mary), which offer a remarkable window onto his world. His ongoing struggles as a king and as a man were distilled—in art, music, literature, and architecture—into something sublime that speaks to us powerfully across the centuries. An intimate biography of the Spanish ruler in whom two cultures converged, The Wise King introduces readers to a Renaissance man before his time, whose creative energy in the face of personal turmoil and existential threats to his kingdom would transform the course of Western history.
A sweeping novel of politics, war, philosophy, and adventure–in a restored edition, featuring never-before-published material from Gore Vidal’s original manuscript–Creation offers a captivating grand tour of the ancient world. Cyrus Spitama, grandson of the prophet Zoroaster and lifelong friend of Xerxes, spent most of his life as Persian ambassador for the great king Darius. He traveled to India, where he discussed nirvana with Buddha, and to the warring states of Cathay, where he learned of Tao from Master Li and fished on the riverbank with Confucius. Now blind and aged in Athens–the Athens of Pericles, Sophocles, Thucydides, Herodotus, and Socrates–Cyrus recounts his days as he strives to resolve the fundamental questions that have guided his life’s journeys: how the universe was created, and why evil was created with good. In revisiting the fifth century b.c.–one of the most spectacular periods in history–Gore Vidal illuminates the ideas that have shaped civilizations for millennia.
In the Spirit Worlds and the dimensions that exist, reside numerous kingdoms that house a plethora of Spirits that inhabit various forms. One of these tribes is called the Wise Ones, a darker breed in the spirit realm who often chooses to incarnate into a human body one lifetime after another for important purposes. The Realm of the Wise One takes you on a magical journey to the spirit world where the Wise Ones dwell. This is followed with in-depth and detailed information on how to recognize a human soul who has incarnated from the Wise One Realm. Author, Kevin Hunter, is a Wise One who uses the knowledge passed onto him by his Spirit team of Guides and Angels to relay the wisdom surrounding all things Wise One. He discusses the traits, purposes, gifts, roles, and personalities among other things that make up someone who is a Wise One. Wise Ones have come in the guises of teachers, shaman, leaders, hunters, mediums, entertainers and others. Realm of the Wise One is an informational guide devoted to the tribe of the Wise Ones, both in human form and on the other side. This book requires an untainted open mind to what's unseen or misunderstood. What readers have said about the "Realm of the Wise One": “Read the book Realm of the Wise One and what an awesome book! It was full of wisdom and beauty that it touched my heart.” - A Reader “Reading Realm of the Wise One had calmed my anxiety down within minutes. I have shared this book with a few people that are ready to receive the messages and they've told me it helped their journey tremendously. Thank you Kevin Hunter for your work here on earth and beyond.” - A Reader "I’m devouring Realm of the Wise One for the second time. I went through it so fast the first time it was a bit of a whirlwind. Much of it got blown away by all of the “Oh my God, so it’s not just me” emotions. I’ve read Doreen Virtue’s information on realms, but that was barely an appetizer. This book explains it to me with all the words I had inside me already. Fascinating!" - A Reader "I'm about 100 pages into the book, "Realm of the Wise One". I woke up at 2:45 one morning and rather than going online I started reading it. It has helped me connect to the spirit dimensions in a very visceral way. I feel the presence of the spirit realms in a way that felt more elusive before. I definitely see so much of myself in the wise one archetype. It has helped me own those parts of myself rather than thinking I should be different - in particular the introverted part of me that has about zero tolerance for small talk or BS. I don't identify with all of it so I am thinking I might have some other archetypes mixed in there, but I definitely have a lot of the wise one in me. And there are some definite unicorns in my life. It's fascinating to read about all of this. I look forward to learning more. Thank you to the author for gifting the book to the Universe!" - A Reader "I bought Realm of the Wise One and it had me hooked. I liked this one so much and would be interested to read more books on Wise Ones by this author." - A Reader "I'm on the last chapter of the book, “Realm of the Wise One”. I have so much to say I don't even know where to begin. First of all, AWESOME BOOK! It made me understand and see some people in my own life and where they are coming from. One of them being my uncle. I see so much of a Wise One in him that it's not even funny. But what made me laugh so hard is the way Incarnated Angels are portrayed. I loved that chapter because it's like it was describing me to a tee!” - A Reader "I've been reading the book, "Realm of the Wise One", and it's a page-turner to me! Wow!" - A Reader "Love the book 'Realm of the Wise One'! Actually reading the book again to absorb the invaluable information. The first time I came across the Wise One Realm was in Doreen Virtue's book. The information seemed a little limited. I had to find more information, but couldn't find it anywhere. I asked my Spirit Family for help for about a year. And one day I was guided to look for a new book to read. I almost fell out of my chair and started laughing when I saw this book! It definitely has answered many questions about who I am. Great book!" - A Reader "I am on page 99 of the "Realm of the Wise One" book, and this book is so positively energetic I love it!" - A Reader "I have been reading this book and can't put it down! It's so good! Kevin Hunter should be a teacher in a school or college, or counselor. This stuff he wrote is right to the point and right on the mark. I kept thinking, damn he's good! I'm just about to start chapter 8 and each chapter is like wow, "He's so right on! Great job with this. What a gifted Angel Wise One this author is and a true Warrior for sharing the right stuff! Thank you!" - A Reader "Wow! The "Realm of the Wise One" book arrived this afternoon (today – the day of the Equinox), I took it to the gorgeous Lake Alpsee and I read the first 29 pages. I could hardly stop. I am impressed! And moved. The unicorns have been knocking on my door for a few months now and they keep knocking. It’s like my heart is remembering something, and now I read in this book that there is a connection between unicorns and Sagittarius! Thank you for writing this great book!" - A Reader "I directed the Realm of the Wise One book to a Wise One who seemed to be in need of a change from his day job. He teaches meditation and self-empowerment courses, but he needed more stimulation, as he sounded bored with that, so I gave him this book and he said it helped him. We love this book!" - A Reader "I read the book "Realm of the Wise One" the other night in one sitting. When I got to the description of the author's home and the different beings I started to cry. I immediately recognized my friend in this as a Wise One. I messaged her and demanded, cajoled and begged her to immediately buy the book. I said to her...You KNOW this guy or you will know him. I can see it as plain as day. She's now read it and came back to me with, "You're right! There's someone like me!" So uh yeah, guilty as charged for that one." - A Reader "I recently picked up the book REALM OF THE WISE ONE from a stall in India. I turned over to the back of the book and a picture of the author was printed. I saw the picture and my heart started racing at like 250 bpm. I knew I had to buy this book and I'm glad I did. What an amazing book!" - A Reader "WOW! What a fantastic book Realm Of The Wise One is! I've been reading it off and on all afternoon. Great book! Makes you think whoa! Things were said that hit me like POW! This is such an insightful book! I’m loving it and will be reading it again." - A Reader "I'm not even a Wise One and I found the Realm of the Wise One book richly informative and a thoroughly enjoyable read. Hope the author gets inspired to write more on the other Realms someday. He has such an incisive way of animating the material." - A Reader "Realm of the Wise One was enchanting I loved it. This author is a trendsetter. A man writing the truth that others are drinking up. You know the magick. The magick of being a Wise One is showing others the truth and giving them the option to drink up the Truth or to spit it back out and keep grunting like Neanderthals." - A Reader "It has come to my attention that the author and I "see" the same places. I find this unusual. Thy Realms he speaks of in his book, "Realm of the Wise One", are known to me as Fey or Fae Realms. It is the places between The Veil. I am drawn in, but wary and I cannot place why. It is not fear of embarrassment (think me a fool it doesn't unsettle me). Rather a strange sensation of being seen, of knowing you are from my home, a nakedness of spirit perhaps. I have ridden the white horse with wings all my life, visited crystal cities that seem to burn in the setting sun only to return to cool shining glassy crystal in the purple of evening. Yet it was the waterfalls he describes, or most specifically the grass, of every shade of green that brought me to tears of knowing. Even the cover of the book is familiar to me. I called it my House Tree as a child with stairs that wind both up and down. And a doorway that is higher up to settle and watch the lights in the leaves in the evening. I will look for this author in my forest and perhaps in the mountains too, or maybe I will return to the crystal city and the dancing there. This was an amazing book to me." - A Reader

"When the Morning Stars Sang" by Scott C. Jones,Christine Roy Yoder Pdf
During a moment of exponential growth and change in the fields of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies, it is an opportune time to take stock of the state wisdom and wisdom literature with twenty-three essays honoring the consummate Weisheitslehrer, Professor Choon Leong Seow, Vanderbilt, Buffington, Cupples Chair in Divinity and Distinguished Professor of Hebrew Bible at Vanderbilt University. This Festschrift is tightly focused around wisdom themes, and all of the essays are written by senior scholars in the field. They represent not only the great diversity of approaches in the field of wisdom and wisdom literature, but also the remarkable range of interests and methods that have characterized Professor Seow's own work throughout the decades, including the theology of the wisdom literature, the social world of Ecclesiastes, the history of consequences of the book of Job, the poetry of the Psalms, and Northwest Semitic Inscriptions, just to name a few.
Wise Blood: A Re-Consideration is a collection of nineteen new essays on Flannery O’Connor’s 1952 novel about the spiritual journey of a young man raised in a fundamentalist Christian family.

The volume comprises five sections: Religious and Philosophical Thought; Comedy, Humor, and Animality in Wise Blood; Influences on Wise Blood; Structural Issues; and Gender, Culture, and Genre. An intensely religious novel by a Catholic author, Wise Blood continues to draw keen attention from literary scholars, theologians, preachers, and lay readers. This volume encompasses many new critical perspectives that will encourage greater insights, deeper understandings, and further investigations of the complexities of O’Connor’s modern classic set in the Deep South.
