Chernoch, Paul Anton Endless Hunt
CCTA 147762919X / 9781477629192 Trade Paperback NEW
Life is a treasure hunt. For what treasures have you been prospecting? Jesus said that we should lay up treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy. To which treasures was he referring? The Endless Hunt proposes a list of twelve spiritual treasures and argues why they should appear at the top of everyone's To-do list. The text is sprinkled with original poems and worship songs and includes a complete novelette, "The Disconnected", exploring loneliness and the universal need to get connected. For those who have questions about the Bible's accuracy, it includes a section addressing issues like creation and evolution, the age of the universe, archeology and prophecy. The text unfolds as a treasure hunt, complete with rhyming riddles, a treasure map, and a compass. Every point is argued both from the Bible and from the author's personal experience. Every treasure is carefully related to the human needs it addresses. Those needs range from existence and survival to personal relationships, and from basic spiritual nourishment to ultimate fulfillment. The book addresses problems like loneliness, depression, unfruitfulness, fear, and poverty. Some of the treasures listed in this book - such as life, liberty and happiness - won't surprise anyone, but two of them surprised even the author. He didn't add them to his list until the last chapters were being written, which is why even after finding God, he keeps on looking. If you are stuck in a spiritual rut, or think you've found all the answers, this book can help you rejoin the endless hunt.

Merullo, Roland Lunch With Buddha
PFP 2012 0984834567 / 9780984834563 Trade Paperback NEW Signed by the Author!
On the surface, LUNCH WITH BUDDHA is a story about family. Otto Ringling and his sister Cecelia could not be more different. He's just turned 50, an editor of food books at a prestigious New York publishing house, a man with a nice home in the suburbs, children he adores, and a sense of himself as being a mainstream, upper-middle-class American. Cecelia is the last thing from mainstream. For two decades she's made a living reading palms and performing past-life regressions. She believes firmly in our ability to communicate with those who have passed on. It will turn out, though, that they have more in common than just their North Dakota roots. In LUNCH WITH BUDDHA, when Otto faces what might be the greatest of life's difficulties, it is Cecelia who knows how to help him. As she did years earlier in this book's predecessor, BREAKFAST WITH BUDDHA, she arranges for her brother to travel with Volya Rinpoche, a famous spiritual teacher - who now also happens to be her husband. After early chapters in which the family gathers for an important event, the novel portrays a road trip made by Otto and Rinpoche, in a rattling pickup, from Seattle to the family farm in North Dakota. Along the way the brothers-in-law have a series of experiences - some hilarious, some poignant - all aimed at bringing Otto a deeper peace of mind. They visit American landmarks; they have a variety of meals, both excellent and awful; they meet a cast of minor characters, each of whom enables Rinpoche to impart some new spiritual lesson. Their conversations range from questions about life and death to talk of history, marijuana, child-rearing, sexuality, Native Americans, and outdoor swimming. In the end, with the help of their miraculous daughter, Shelsa, and the prodding of Otto's own almost-adult children, Rinpoche and Cecelia push this decent, middle-of-the-road American into a more profound understanding of the purpose of his life. His sense of the line between possible and impossible is altered, and the story's ending points him toward a very different way of being in this world.
