Some spiritual books that we recommend:

• George Crumpler, "David: The untold story," PublishAmerica, (2004). More than a biography of the Hebrew King David, this book covers the period from just before the death of Eli through the ascension of Solomon to the throne, a period of about eighty years. The author ....goes beyond a mere retelling of the events and takes the reader inside the mind and psyche of the characters of this epoch of biblical history.

• Nancy O'Meara, "Tolerance 101: Practical solutions for interfaith family problems." Foundation for Religious Freedom, (1999).

This book provides a valuable service to people of all religious persuasions."  Read reviews or order this book.

• Philip Zaleski, "The best spiritual writing 1999," Harper San Francisco, (1999). "...a significant addition to the spiritual literature of our time." Read reviews or order this book.
  
  
• Patricia Aburdene, "Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious Capitalism," Hampton Roads, (2005). Aburdene suggests that the next big change in American business will not be another technological advance. It will be the advance of the human spirit into everyday commerce. Amazon.com's reviewer writes:

  "....more and more companies are discovering that placing social and environmental values ahead of the bottom line is actually helping to boost profits....Aburdene investigates 'corporate social responsibility' and identifies seven new megatrends that will redefine business in the coming years."
