The extraordinary discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library and other early Christian documents over the last century has sparked a revolution of understanding. We can now imagine the possibility of moving from the Christian Gospel as dogmatic tradition about Jesus, to the teachings of Jesus as a wisdom tradition. That is truly "good news." These early texts give us another view, one that is luminous with insight. Open these pages and enter a new world of early perennial wisdon. As you enter their world, you are invited into a way of knowing that is essential for receiving the gift of wisdom. Ancient Songs Sung Anew - New Small Edition
This concise edition of just the Psalms themselves, without notes or meditations, is small enough to be carried for personal use. It contains the same poetic translation as the larger text in a beautiful new font and cover that complements the original text. These songs and prayers are the heart-felt cries of men and women as they journey across the troubled landscape of our world. Love is Stronger than Death: The Mystical Union of Two Souls
"Sacred tradition is full of stories that illustrate the ongoing transcendent communion across the spiritual body of humanity, which in Christianity is called 'The Communion of the Saints.' There is a thin line between life and death, the living and the so-called 'dead'. We imagine it to be a chasm, but it is not. In the Islamic world such an intimate and deep communion existed between Jalaluddin Rumi and Shams-i Tabrizi prior to and following Shams' disappearance and death. Like Rumi and Shams, the communion between Rafe and Cynthia was a true 'conversation of the heart' (sohbat) that continues to this day. We are privileged to listen in." - Lynn C. Bauman, Author of The Gospel of Thomas: Wisdom of the Twin Spiritual Commentary on The Gospel of Thomas: In Trouble and In Wonder, Vol. I (Logia 1-43)

This is a new and extensive spiritual commentary on the wisdom tradition of the Gospel of Thomas.
A number of recent commentaries have focused on the historical-critical issues concerning the text of the Gospel. The focus of this commentary, however, is primarily upon the inner meaning of Yeshua's teaching found in Thomas and the way in which women and men in the contemporary world may use that teaching as a guide in the learning of wisdom. It is constructed as a multi-layered and interactive text which allows a person to enter into it at many different levels. This is the first of three volumes of the commentary and is based upon Lynn Bauman's translation of the
