In this thought-provoking new book, the Dalai Lama argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather, focusing on tolerance and understanding between religions, as well as tolerance and understanding between believers (of any faith) and non-believers is the way forward. The way to achieve such an approach, he proposes, is through a system of secular ethics grounded in a deep appreciation of our common humanity.
With the highest level of spiritual and intellectual authority, in his latest work His Holiness The Dalai Lama makes a stirring appeal for what he calls a 'third way', a path to an ethical and happy life and to a global human community based on understanding and mutual respect. Read by Thandie Newton, the award winning actress who recently gave a 'Ted Talk' on her 'otherness', in growing up in two distinct cultures.

With robust clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which Hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix. God Is Not Great marvels at the possibility of society without religion.

Pleasure: We live in a world obsessed with finding it, passionate about enjoying it, and desperate about maintaining it. Chief among such objects of affection are sex and money - two pleasures unequaled in their power to captivate our attention and demand our worship. In what is sure to become an instant classic, popular author Paul David Tripp pulls back the curtain on the lies of our flesh and the ways we distort God's good gifts, examining the insanity of our culture and exposing our tendency to fall prey to the hollow promises of this world.
Justin Holcomb, pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle and executive director of the Resurgence, highlights Scripture's recurring emphasis on humanity's desperate need and God's extravagant grace. Holcomb convincingly demonstrates that grace - most powerfully manifested in the person and work of Jesus Christ - is the foundational theme and primary message of the whole Bible.
