  DIET FOR TRANSCENDENCE Vegetarianism and the World Religions - Steven Rosen
"Drawing from a wealth of original religious documents and texts, author Steven Rosen takes us on a fascinating journey back in time to explore the essential and often misunderstood roots of the world's major religious traditions, to discover how vegetarianism was a cherished part of their philosophy and practice"-Nathaniel Altman. 1997, 6x9" 136 pages $11.95
   
         
  LOST RELIGION OF JESUS, THE Simple Living and Nonviolence in Early Christianity -Keith Akers
Jesus' preaching was first and foremost about simple living and pacifism-never intended to create a new religion separate from Judaism. Moreover, Jesus' radical Jewish ethics, rather than a new theology, distinguished him from other Jews. Akers uncovers the history of Jewish Christianity from its origins in the Essenes and John the Baptist, through Jesus, until its disappearance into Islamic mysticism; only by understanding this mysterious, misunderstood strand of early Christianity can we find the heart of the radical message of Jesus of Nazareth. 2000, 6x9" 260 pages, $20.00
   
         
  PEACE PILGRIM Her Life and Work in Her Own Words -Compiled by Friends of Peace Pilgrim
"It has been 20 years since Peace Pilgrim concluded her physical pilgrimage. In the intervening years, her lived message of personal internal peace has rarely been far from me-an inspiration to all who knew her then and now to those of this generation who are finding the authenticity of her selfless self. Collected sayings from her talks, letters from hearers, reminiscences of friends, interviews, and news clippings. Gold"-Roshan Dinshah. 1998, 5½x8½" 206 pages $12.00
