How could God work through religions that are often seemingly contradictory? The Wisdom Tree uses the analogy of a genealogical tree of mankind’s main religions to show how our beliefs are uniquely distinct yet part of one system. Each chapter goes into the center of a prevailing world faith to show how one message comes through various traditions and cultures.
Gary D. Guthrie, a world authority authority on comparative religion, demonstrates that there is not just a marvelous “light at the end of the tunnel,” but an accessible Light now within each of us.
Happy Birth Day Planet Earth
The Instant of Co-Operation
Barbara Marx Hubbard
$6
ISBN: 978-0-943734-08-8
64 pages, perfectbound
We stand on the threshold of a "planetary pentecost" and a new era in the human adventure: consciously cooperating in the process of universal creation. In Happy Birth Day Planet Earth, respected futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard opened the door for people attracted to the spiritual transformation of themselves and the earth—to begin to live as co-creators with the designing intelligence of the Universe.
Barbara Marx Hubbard foresees an "Instant of Co-Operation," a tipping point, a moment of critical mass where many will join this exciting new phase of human evolution. Here is a short guide to the nature of that moment and its promise.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Barbara Marx Hubbard, who helped introduce the concept of futurism to society, is the best-informed human now alive regarding futurism and the foresights it has produced."
— Buckminster Fuller
