Waking the Buddha: How the Most Dynamic and Empowering Buddhist Movement in History Is Changing Our Concept of ReligionIs there more to Buddhism than sitting in silent meditation?

Is there more to Buddhism than sitting in silent meditation? Is modern Buddhism relevant to the problems of daily life? Does it empower individuals to transform their lives? Or has Buddhism become too detached, so still and quiet that the Buddha has fallen asleep? Waking the Buddha tells the story of the Soka Gakkai International, the largest, most dynamic Buddhist movement in the world today and one that is waking up and shaking up Buddhism so it can truly work in ordinary people s lives. Drawing on his long personal experience as a Buddhist teacher, journalist, and editor, Clark Strand offers broad insight into how and why the Soka Gakkai, with its commitment to social justice and its egalitarian approach, has become a role model, not only for other schools of Buddhism, but for other religions as well. Readers will be inspired by the struggles and triumphs of the Soka Gakkai s three founding presidents individuals who staked their lives on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and the extraordinary power of those teachings to help people become happy."Binding Type: Paperback

A precious book for all ages.
Format: Hardcover
I just received this beautiful book and like all of Sharon Garlough Brown’s books it touched my heart. I know and love Wren as an adult from Sharon’s novels. The artist captures young Wren perfectly. When I say this book is for all ages I found the message to be a personal blessing as I travel a season of some tough feelings. I was also reminded how important my role of Grandmother is, Please Dear Lord give me a heart like Gram’s. “Not Finished Yet” will now always be sitting out on a table in my home as a daily reassurance of God’s love of all my feelings and to provide beautiful words and artwork to share with others.

A children's book that adults will love
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for my granddaughter's birthday but when I read it myself, it so resonated with my own childhood story, I know God used it to heal some of my own wounds. I can't wait to give it to my
granddaughter.

Engaging, well researched, well written and easy to understand!
Format: Kindle
This is the first time I have read a book of David Jeremiah. I think I have seen him preach on Television at my parent's place when I was on holidays one Sunday morning.
This is a very well researched book, that is easy to read, and not too complicated to follow. It is not dry or overly theological like some books tend to be and I have found what I have read so far to be very engaging and the book is a real page turner.
I love the subject of Revelations and I find that many of the people who write a lot of them have really differing ideas and a lot of opinion. It is refreshing to see an author do a lot of research and find an amazing amount of quotes to back up what he is saying, yet at the same time be engaging and not dry.
I find that at 20% of a book read, that I have already decided whether to shelve a book, or to continue reading in a second session and this will be a book that I read right to its end. As a write myself, I am so impressed with the simplicity of the authors writing, and the subjects that he covers extensively, and yet dare I say it again in an engaging way that is not dry at all.
The way he opens each topic up and uses stories, Bible verses and quotes to back up everything he says is the skill of a master communicator.
I recommend this book to you
