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.

Pastor Skip Heitzig breaks apart the basic components of today's society and looks at the threats that believers face at every level: personally, family, communally, nationally, and globally. This series focuses on what God's word says about each of these levels of society and how we can best follow God's original plan for our lives, our family, and the rest of the world.
