TOUCHED BY FIRE: The Ongoing Journey of a Spiritual Seeker
by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Ph.D.
Himalayan Institute Press
www.HimalayanInstitute.org
273 pgs. $16.95
From a small, traditional village in Northern India to the present day Himalayan Institute in Pennsylvania, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait takes us on the autobiographical journey of a truth seeker.
We encounter saints and spiritual masters, experiencing miracles and mystic events that leave us shaking our heads in wonder. One cannot help but be moved by Tigunait’s deep and sincere desire to experience God. When his teacher, Swami Rama, sends him to a holy city to "find God," Tigunait finds only his own hidden anger and rage. When he returns to Swami Rama, questioning why he could not find God, he is told, "People build temples, churches and mosques for God as though God were homeless… But in truth, human beings are living temples of God." Touched by Fire is an engaging book, filled with wisdom and truth.

GOD WEARS LIPSTICK: Kabbalah for Women
by Karen Berg
Kabbalah Publishing

Taking responsibility for our thoughts, words and deeds is a huge challenge, one which most of us find quite difficult, if not overwhelming. In fact, we may avoid that challenge altogether. In God Wears Lipstick, Karen Berg teaches us how to say "yes," and to embrace our responsibilities through the wisdom of the Kabbalah. In witty and informative chapters, we are gently guided through learning how to bring light and consciousness into the world– every moment is an opportunity! All the important issues are discussed, including the purpose of life, soulmates, reincarnation, astrology, the meaning of sex, etc. A wonderful guidebook to assist a woman on her journey through life.
