 The Praying Peace Cards, by James Twyman. ISBN 1899171096. This book is a practical guide to peacemaking. And yet it comes at the subject from a perspective that is perhaps different than most people expect. Through the 'Seven Pathways to Peace,' the book demonstrates that love is the only real force in the universe. Therefore, peace is always present, even when conflict seems to prevail. When we 'Pray Peace,' we actually increase the peace that is hidden beneath layers of hatred, pulling it into conscious experience.
 Ten Spiritual Lessons I Learned at the Mall, by James Twyman. ISBN 1899171835. If you were told that you are already enlightened, would you believe it? If you were told that enlightenment is as easy as doing your weekly shopping, what would you say? If you were told that the person serving your cappuccino is your spiritual teacher, would you just laugh? Most of us have been taught that we must enter a spiritual path in order to 'become enlightened'. The idea is that if we work at it hard enough, attend dozens of seminars on spiritual topics, read enough books, etc., then someday, in this lifetime or the next, we will be struck by a cosmic lightning bolt, and in a sudden flash of insight will achieve full enlightenment. Consider the possibility that we have been sold a myth, the 'myth of enlightenment'... In fact, we can find enlightenment anywhere, at any time, even in that most commercial and stressful place, the Shopping Mall. What if enlightenment is something you can pick up with your groceries, or doing your Christmas shopping? What if the person serving you behind the jewelry counter is as much your teacher as the leader of your latest workshop? What if it's all as simple as keeping your eyes and ears open while you live your daily life, doing all those mundane chores you dislike so much? This could change your attitude in every moment, making all that you do much more fun and interesting. In Ten Spiritual Lessons I Learned at the Mall, James Twyman takes a humorous and insightful journey through a place where few would ever go to attain enlightenment. He discovers that we can find ourselves anywhere, even in a place where we would rather not be... especially in such a place. You will be with him as he spends five days at a mall in Toronto, acting as if he was on a retreat in a monastery or an ashram, asking the big questions and finding some amazingly simple answers. This book will change the way you experience your ordinary environment.
 The Prayer of St. Francis, by James Twyman. ISBN 1899171541. The story begins in Assisi, Italy when St. Francis goes to St. Clare, his spiritual partner, with a question. He has decided to travel to the Crusades and arrange a meeting between himself and the Sultan in Syria, believing that if the Sultan knew what Jesus was really trying to say that he would stop the terrible war on his own. It is Francis' desire, if Clare agrees, to cross over into the Muslim territory and deliver this holy message. Pope Innocent III has already sent a letter to Francis saying that he will be excommunicated from the Church if he leaves for the Crusades. And yet, in spite of this threat, St. Clare and Francis both agree that Francis must go. It is God's will that Francis follow a higher call than any human authority can understand. Meanwhile, Brother Leo has been waiting for Francis outside the chapel of San Damiano. He has been asked by the superior of the order to accompany his brother on this journey and to return to Assisi with an official portrait of the saint. Francis has never allowed his likeness to be drawn before, but since he believes he is not likely to return from the trip alive he has now agreed. Leo will travel with him only as far as the Muslim territory, then return to the other brothers with the drawing. During the trip he will sketch the portrait, capturing his holy image for generations to come. Brother Leo has a special request to make of the saint. Since they will be together for several weeks, Leo asks Francis to teach him everything he knows about peace. Francis agrees and says that he will give Leo a different lesson every day, and when they finally arrive at the Muslim territory nothing will be hidden from him. The journey begins.
