Excerpt from the book:
"A Clear Midnight
This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best,
Night, sleep, death and the stars." --Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
* Features selections from Mitch Albom, Emily Dickinson, William Penn, Rumi, Carl Sandburg, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and William Butler Yeats.

The book's chief maker, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, created it as the authoritative manual of Christian worship throughout England. But as Jacobs recounts, the book has had a variable and dramatic career in the complicated history of English church politics, and has been the focus of celebrations, protests, and even jail terms. As time passed, new forms of the book were made to suit the many English-speaking nations: first in Scotland, then in the new United States, and eventually wherever the British Empire extended its arm. Over time, Cranmer's book was adapted for different preferences and purposes. Jacobs vividly demonstrates how one book became many--and how it has shaped the devotional lives of men and women across the globe.
Besides the most common prayers (Hail Mary, Apostles' Creed . . .), this treasury of prayer includes the Ordinary of the Mass, prayers for confession and Communion, prayers of devotion, prayers for the sick and deceased, the Ten Commandments, the Stations of the Cross, the Rosary, prayers from the ancient Hispanic liturgy, traditional favorites such as the much-loved Spanish Poetic prayer to Mary (found at the end of Midday Prayer), and much more. Textos en espa�ol e ingles de las Oraciones mas gustadas y mas com�nmente usadas son presentados en letra grande y legible en una presentaci�n paralela, f�cil de seguir. El texto en ingles aparece en la pagina de la izquierda, con el texto en espa�ol directamente al otro lado de este a la derecha.
Adem�s de las Oraciones mas comunes (Ave Marie, Credo de los Ap�stoles . . . ), este tesoro de la Oraci�n incluye el ordinario de la misa, Oraciones para la confesi�n y la comuni�n, Oraciones para los enfermos y difuntos, los diez mandamientos, las estaciones de la cruz, el rosario, Oraciones de la antigua liturgia hispana, favoritos tradicionales Como la muy gustado Oraci�n po�tica espa�ola a Maria (que se encuentra al final de la Oraci�n de mediod�a), y mucho mas.
This isn't the way it should be. Our prayer life, our family life, and our work life should — and can! — be in harmony. When they are, our family is a powerhouse of grace, and Our Lord transforms our home into a little Eden — a little bit of heaven on earth.
With simplicity and holy wisdom, authors David Clayton and Leila Marie Lawler show you how to bring peace to your home by integrating your family into the calm, truly joyful way of Mother Church. Her feasts and seasons, prayers and devotions are gifts that draw us closer to God and unfold before us His marvelous plan of salvation.
To help you live the liturgical life of the Church more fully, David and Leila reclaim here an almost lost tradition that families used for centuries to build a beautiful bridge between home and church: the little oratory.
Consisting of a modest table and icons, the little oratory is a visible sign of spiritual awareness and devotion. It extends the Eucharistic worship of the Mass into the heart of your home, spiritually nourishing your family and preparing them to transform the world through prayer and charity.
Building your own little oratory is simple, and in these pages you'll discover just how easy it is. In fact, you likely have most of the pieces in your home already except, perhaps, the sacred art. That's why we've included here seven full-colored icons that are ready for framing, enabling you to get started right away!
By following the wise advice in this book, you'll discover the peace and love that flows from a home that is focused on Christ. You'll also learn . . .

By God's grace, presented to you here is the translation of the JAPJI SAHIB(composed in Gurumukhi script by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the First Guru and founder of the Sikh Religion) into English.
At the end of the translation, I have also offered to you the Transliteration of JAPJI SAHIB, for those who may wish to recite as a prayer in the original Gurumukhi language.
JAPJI SAHIB is a universal sacred hymn(prayer) about God and creation, composed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith. The Japji Sahib consists of the Mool Mantra(Root Mantra) as the beginning followed by 38 hymns and a final Salok at the end of this composition.
The Japji appears at the very beginning of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs. It is regarded as the most important Bani or 'set of verses' by the Sikhs and is recited every morning by all practicing this faith.
The word ‘Jap’ means to ‘recite’ or ‘to ‘chant’. ‘Ji’ is a word that is used to show respect as is the word ‘Sahib’.
You are encouraged to read the translation several times, and the beauty of this glorious script will manifest in your mind. Harmony will come to your life as you begin to understand God and his attributes(as can be comprehended by a human), as revealed to us by God through Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
In these powerful pages are the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart. Words of reassurance, comfort, and hope. Words that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.
Jesus is calling out to you in the same way. Maybe you share the author’s need for a great sense of “God with you”. Or perhaps Jesus seems distant without you knowing why. Or maybe you have wandered farther from Him that you ever imagined you would. Here is a year’s worth of daily readings from Young’s journals to bring you closer to Christ and move your time with Him from monologue to a dialogue.
Each day is written as if Jesus Himself were speaking to you. Because He is. Do you hear Him calling?
It is also a common practice to recite it at a funeral, when the body is cremated.
Three Sikh Gurus – Guru Nanak, Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjan - contributed five shabads in total to this bani on the pain of separation, and celebrating the bliss of union with God.
The first three shabads were uttered by Guru Nanak, the fourth by Guru Ram Das, and the fifth by Guru Arjan Dev.
The first Shabad (verse) reminds us of the day, when death will eventually come. Those fortunate souls, that succeed in achieving union with God are referred to as happy brides, who attain union with their Husband (Lord) amid songs of joy.
The second Shabad tells us that God is the Supreme Creator of all, including the Sun, which is the cause of time, days, nights, months, seasons etc. Likewise, God Who is One, is the cause of countless manifestations.
Satguru reminds us that the school of thought, which teaches us to sing God's praises and worship Him sincerely, is the only profitable way.
The third Shabad emphasizes that there is no benefit in the empty observance of the ceremony of Arti (worship with small lamps placed on a platter). Nature (Moon, Stars, and Sky) and the entire Universe is constantly performing the Divine and True form of Arti for God. This verse also requests God for His Mercy.
The fourth Shabad describes the deplorable condition of a sinner. His love for ego causes him to suffer pain and grief. Emphasis is laid on achieving union with God, through living a virtuous life and the True Worship of God and His Name; for this is the True object of human life.
The fifth Shabad asserts that man can only obtain union with God only in this life; he will repent in failing to do so. Pray to God to seek from Him the Divine Name and the society of True Saints (Enlightened Beings).
For the times when you are led to pray, but don't know what to say, this book will help you find just the right expression for the situation.
In The Simplest Prayer, the Irish Franciscans show us how to achieve a sense of calm and peace by incorporating prayer into our lives in the simplest way and with the simplest prayer - to Jesus, and, in doing so, show us how we can open our lives to acceptance, love, happiness and inner peace.
Based on a website created by the Poor Clares and the Irish Franciscans for the Year of the Holy Name of Jesus, the book will include reflections and thoughts from the Irish Franciscans on Jesus' words and how they can relate to us in our daily lives, along with scripture quotations for use in times of loss, grief, gratitude, happiness, self-doubt and depression, and practical advice on meditation and mindfulness. The Simplest Prayer will show us how, by introducing moments of calm into our everyday lives, we can achieve a sense of happiness and peace.
Prayer is the first step one can take on the path to 'God Realization', which is the true purpose of human life.
Pain and Pleasure are the two sides of the same coin that act as the primary driving force of all human actions. Everybody wants to avoid suffering and yearns for peace and happiness.
While all prayers are good and bring about peace and happiness, Sikhism offers two special prayers that address peace and suffering.
The first one is Sukhmani Sahib which brings about peace and contentment, and the second one is Dukh Bhanjani Sahib which focuses on removing pain and suffering.
Only The Lord's Name can bring about peace, and can shield one from suffering. The verses in each prayer guide the mortal to attempt to understand and live life in tune with the Will of The Immortal, thereby removing all hardship and suffering.
The word 'Dukh' means a hardship or ailment, or suffering, causing a pain. The word 'Bhanjani' means destroyer or crusher; hence the phrase "Dukh Bhanjani" means "Destroyer of Pain".
All the shabads in this composition are composed by Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
Dukh Bhanjani is a composition of sacred hymns put together in three Raags(musical measures) - Raga Gauri,Raga Bilaval and Raga Sorath.
This prayer is done in order to alleviate any form of ailments ("Dukh") or hardship experienced.
Presented in this book is the Translation and Transliteration in English for those who cannot, or are not well versed in the Gurmukhi script.
While every effort has been made to simplify the transliteration, I encourage the reader to read the prayers while listening to them in audio format a couple of times.
This will help them grasp the correct pronunciation.
There is a link to the prayer in YouTube. This will help to get the correct pronunciation, or if you wish to just listen to the prayers.
After doing prayers regularly, one can look for translation books to assist in helping understand the Bani.
Suitable to gift friends and family too. The gift of 'Dhamma', or 'Gian', is the ultimate gift that brings joy and peace to the giver and the receiver.
There should be no hindrance on your part towards making the first step to God. PRAY!
Worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger and feelings of condemnation: all these are attacks on the mind. If readers suffer from negative thoughts, they can take heart! Joyce Meyer has helped millions win these all-important battles. In her most popular bestseller ever, the beloved author and minister shows readers how to change their lives by changing their minds.
She teaches how to deal with thousands of thoughts that people think every day and how to focus the mind the way God thinks. And she shares the trials, tragedies, and ultimate victories from her own marriage, family, and ministry that led her to wondrous, life-transforming truth--and reveals her thoughts and feelings every step of the way.
This special updated edition includes an additional introduction and updated content throughout the book.
Prayer is an essential part of Sikhism. As food nourishes and strengthens the body, prayer purifies the mind uplifts the soul.
Sikhs are ordained to rise in the morning and meditate on the Name of God ‘Waheguru’.
They are also expected to do ‘Nitnem’ which literally means ‘Daily Routine’.
Nitnem is composed of a collection of five prayers to be done during different periods of the day.
Morning (3 prayers) Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib and Sawaiye.
Evening (1 prayer) – Rehras Sahib
Night (1 prayer) – Kirtan Sohila
Ardaas should be done after every prayer session.
I have included Ardaas for the reader in this book too.
The person who forms the habit of doing Nitnem daily, ultimately experiences bliss and peace.
While the best experience would be derived from reading the prayers in Gurmukhi, there should be no hindrance for anyone who does not know the Gurmukhi script, to do Nitnem
While every effort has been made to simplify the transliteration, I encourage the reader to read the prayers while listening to them in audio format a couple of times.
This will help them grasp the correct pronunciation.
There is a section for links to the individual prayers in YouTube. This will help to get the correct pronunciation, or if you wish to just listen to the prayers.
This prayer book is perfect to carry around in one’s device, so the prayers can be performed from anywhere.
It is also a wonderful gift to offer to friends and family.
After doing prayers regularly, one can look for translation books to assist in helping understand the Bani.
I am certain that by Waheguru ji’s grace, the reader will eventually seek to learn the Gurmukhi script.
1. To refresh your remembrance and awareness of God.
2. To bring your wandering mind into the present moment.
3. To understand the meaning of the prayer and imbibe its teachings into your life in order to further your spiritual progress.
By God's grace, presented to you here is the translation of the REHRAS SAHIB into English.
At the end of the translation, offered to you is the Transliteration of REHRAS SAHIB, for those who may wish to recite as a prayer in the original Gurumukhi language.
The REHRAS SAHIB is the evening prayer in Sikhism. It is recited at the end of a working day, around sunset.
This evening prayer is recited by many Sikhs after a hard days work.
Praying after a hard day refreshes both body and mind.
Five different Gurus contributed to the evening prayer - Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Amar Das Ji, Guru Ram Das Ji, Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Each one enlightens another aspect of God.
The Benti Chaupai is Guru Gobind Singh Ji's personal prayer for protection and is said to liberate the soul.
The recitation of REHRAS SAHIB adds energy to one’s body and mind. It allows one to conclude the day and thank the Almighty. The verse speaks of the greatness of Waheguru (God) and the ways in which ones actions will assist in attaining spiritual elevation. This prayer assists the person when he or she is weak physically, or financially, or with any other material and earthly matters. When you feel hopeless, or gloomy, it will elevate you mentally and give you a fresh and positive view of things.
The REHRAS SAHIB as recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji contains hymns of only Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Amar Das Ji, Guru Ram Das Ji and Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
The compositions of Guru Gobind Singh Ji were added in REHRAS SAHIB in the late 19th century. This was later approved by the supreme Sikh religious body.
Whether you call it following your heart, a gut feeling, a hunch or intuition, instinct-the inner knowledge bubbling up from a wellspring of wisdom within-can lead to a bigger, elephant-sized life.
Combining social, business and personal examples with biblical insights, in INSTINCT Bishop Jakes shows readers how to rediscover their natural aptitudes and reclaim the wisdom of their past experiences. Knowing when to close a deal, when to take a risk, and when to listen to their hearts will become possible when they're in touch with the instincts that God gave them.
If readers are ready to unlock the confines of where they are, and discover where they were meant to be, then INSTINCT is their key!
Combining magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies around the world and transforming the lives of countless readers across generations.
Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.
Broken into thirty-one segments, this book defines the most powerful blessings in Scripture and encourages readers to declare one each day for a month. The declarations will affirm God's blessings in the area of health, family legacy, decisions, finances, thoughts, outlook, and overcoming obstacles.
When Navy SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn’t know he would die that night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan—but he was ready: In a letter to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, “I’m not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.”
Long before Adam Brown became a member of the elite SEAL Team SIX—the counterterrorism unit that took down Osama bin Laden—he was a fun-loving country boy from Hot Springs, Arkansas, whose greatest goal had been to wear his high school’s football jersey. An undersized daredevil, prone to jumping off roofs into trees and off bridges into lakes, Adam was a kid who broke his own bones but would never break a
promise to his parents.
But after high school, Adam fell in with the wrong crowd, and his family watched as his appetite for risk dragged him into a downward spiral that eventually landed him in jail. Battling his inner demons on a last-chance road to redemption, Adam had one goal: to become the best of the best—a U.S. Navy SEAL.
An absorbing chronicle of heroism and humanity, Fearless presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior who would enter a village with weapons in hand to hunt terrorists, only to come back the next day with an armload of shoes and meals for local children. It is a deeply personal, revealing glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood that also shows how these elite operators live out the rest of their lives, away from danger, as husbands, fathers, and friends.
Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination was fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses and persevered to reach the top tier of the U.S. military. Always the first to volunteer for the most dangerous assignments, Adam’s final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice.
Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as fearless.
The use of prayer beads, which has a long history in practical spirituality, is now becoming more widespread among Protestants. Doerr and Owens here show readers how to use what have become known as Anglican or Christian prayer beads. Readers can then use the basic prayer structure provided by the beads to pray their way through each day -- morning, noon, and night -- and through the church year. These prayers -- a thoughtfully chosen combination of quotations from Scripture and gleanings from the Book of Common Prayer -- can be enhanced and enriched by the mindful and meditative practice of using beads.
Doerr and Owens encourage readers to use beads as "something to hang onto, a lifeline to the Presence that lies, often hidden or forgotten, at the center of our lives." Praying with beads, as outlined and embodied in this little book, has the potential to transform one's prayer life.
This prayer was compiled by the Fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
This prayer eradicates worries, fear, anxiety and all negativity while bringing peace and joy to the one who reads, understands and practices it.
It is divided into 24 Hymns with 8 Stanzas each, with each Hymn describing the ways to attain God and peace.
Besides enjoying this composition, it is also a perfect gift to give anyone you know, for what greater gift than the gift of peace?
There is no greater worship than remembering God, and this humble translation attempts to provide the reader with a better understanding of life and attaining God.
God is Perfect and no words could ever describe Him completely. This humble translation attempts to invoke the reader to understand the importance of repeating God's Name as well as other attributes.
If even one line of this glorious composition, can, by God's mercy, change the life of the reader or the people around them, I would consider this tough endeavor a fruitful deed.
May these hymns bring peace and prosperity in your life, by the Almighty's Grace.
May you always be Happy.

“Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.”
When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren’t expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed—a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy’s trip to heaven and back.
Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery–and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.
With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.”
Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.
