Best Spiritual / Peace Book
The Gift of Change by Marianne Williamson
In this relatable, down-to-earth book, Williamson explicates A Course in Miracles, which she describes as "a self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy." Both A Course in Miracles and Williamson's work borrow heavily from the Christian lexicon: she refers to God as "he" and speaks often of the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Her take-home message is that we must submit not to our egos, which tell us we are separate from God, but instead surrender to God, of whom we are all a part. While she does refer to all minds being joined and describes the world we know as a dream from which we must awaken, she differs from other New Thought and New Age thinkers by balancing an assumption that the negative things of this world (especially illness and adversity) are illusory with the fact that they feel real to us and that we must take practical steps to overcome them. She recommends embracing love and eschewing fear, arguing that we will encounter a loving world when we stop assuming it is hostile. She says that while we are not responsible for the bad things that happen to us, the universe is always primed to give us a new beginning, if only we can forgive, atone and trust that our loving attitudes and good works make a profound difference.

Best Kabbalah Book
Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation by Aryeh Kaplan
Before his tragic death, Rabbi Kaplan was a practicing Kabbalist who wrote several ground-breaking books on Kabbalah. Notably, he wrote 3 books on Jewish Meditation and commentaries on both the Sefer Yetzirah and the Book Bahir. His Sefer Yetzirah provides considerable commentary and explanation of the text, though much of it is still a mystery--so don't expect a complete exposition of a definitive sort. None exists at least in English as far as I can determine. But, this one is about as good as you get today. The so-called Book of Creation (actually in Kabbalah/Hebrew it's really the book of Formation since Yetzirah is the World of Formation and Beriah is the World of Creation) is replete with esoteric symbology. Symbols (as opposed to signs) do not have a definitive meaning. They aren't supposed to. They have many "meanings." Thus, this text, though obviously very heavy duty metaphysically, is very difficult to understand today. It is also one of the 3 main texts in Kabbalah. So, this is a book for the serious student of Kabbalah to ponder and meditate upon for a long, long...time.

Best Historical Interpretation
Rabbi Jesus by Bruce Chilton
Beginning with the Gospels, interpretations of the life of Jesus have flourished for nearly two millennia, yet a clear and coherent picture of Jesus as a man has remained elusive. In Rabbi Jesus, the noted biblical scholar Bruce Chilton places Jesus within the context of his times to present a fresh, historically accurate, and revolutionary examination of the man who founded Christianity.
Drawing on recent archaeological findings and new translations and interpretations of ancient texts, Chilton discusses in enlightening detail the philosophical and psychological foundations of Jesus’ ideas and beliefs. His in-depth investigation also provides evidence that contradicts long-held beliefs about Jesus and the movement he led. Chilton shows, for example, that the High Priest Caiaphas, as well as Pontius Pilate, played a central role in Jesus’ execution. It is, however, Chilton’s description of Jesus’ role as a rabbi, or "master," of Jewish oral traditions, as a teacher of the Cabala, and as a practitioner of a Galilean form of Judaism that emphasized direct communication with God that casts an entirely new light on the origins of Christianity.
Seamlessly merging history and biography, this penetrating, highly readable book uncovers truths lost to the passage of time and reveals a new Jesus for the new millennium.

The Truth Behind the Christ Myth: The Redemption of the Peacock Angel by Mark Amaru Pinkham
The legend of Jesus Christ is based on a much earlier Son of God myth from India, the legend of Murrugan, the Peacock Angel. Consider: * The symbol of the Catholic Church is Murrugan's symbol, the peacock, native to S.E.Asia. * Murrugan evolved into the Persian Mithras * Saint Paul came from the center of Mithras worship--Tarsus in Asia Minor-- and folded the Mithras legend into Jesus' life story * The Three Wise Men were Magi priests from Persia who believed Jesus was an incarnation of Mithras * The 'Christian' Emperor Constantine was a lifelong devotee of Mithras and was baptized on his deathbed * Hitler, the Knights Templar, and the Illuminati sought to use the power of the Peacock Angel to conquer the world.

Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 : The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-Date by John Major Jenkins
These two works press beyond the boundaries of conventional scholarship to explore the alternative world view offered by Maya culture. Brennan, an artist and longtime student of prehistoric rock inspirations throughout North America and Mexico, examines the hand signs shown in Maya glyphs and art work in search of an interpretation of the Maya system of writing, which has long interested interested and puzzled scholars He contends that the Maya used a sophisticated gesture language similar to that of the Plains Indian groups of North America. Many useful illustrations and compelling examples support Brennan's theory. While the conclusions drawn are equal parts scholarship and hypothesis, this thorough and detailed study of the relationships among writing, art, symbolism, and meaning fascinates. The Maya Long Count calendar, a complex system for measuring time, was developed around 2000 years ago, possibly at the pre-Maya site of Izapa in southern Mexico. Jenkins, an independent researcher, presents a wealth of information about Maya astronomy, mythology, and caledrics in support of his analysis of the Long Count calendar end-date, scheduled to occur on December 21, 2012. Providing evidence that the end-date corresponds with a rare alignment of our solar system, Jenkins contends that the Maya were aware of this celestial event and believed that it portended a dramatic rebirth for humanity. Good illustrations, maps, and an extensive bibliography complement this detailed work. Ultimately, however, Jenkins' well-researched and interesting interpretation remains speculative.

Best Healing Book
The Book of Shamanic Healing, by Kristen Madden
From the Author Courtesy Amazon.com
This book is the result of decades or growth, learning, pain and healing. The great physicist John Wheeler once said that universities exist so the students can teach the professors. This holds true of any profession and healers learn a great deal about themselves through working with others. The credit for this book goes to all those people that have graciously taught me by coming to me for healing.
My intent in writing this book was to provide an in-depth look at the healing experience in order to assist other healers and the people they work with. It is a manual of sorts for anyone using or wanting to get involved with shamanic healing. Throughout the book, I offer history, case studies, and relevant research along with first-hand examples of methods and suggestions.

Stardoves
Book of the Month Selection for Three Solid Months
GOING DEEPER is written for the 70 million Wanderers (advanced souls who came from distant dimensions to help with the impending shift) currently incarnated on planet Earth. These magnificent beings are strangers in a strange land . . . humans who somehow know they're not of this world but can't quite remember their true home. If this sounds like you or someone you know, this book provides the missing links and dissolves the dream that keeps Wanderers from awakening. It provides a no-holds-barred look at the myths and twisted realities that lock the human race, and those who came to serve them, into the illusion.
It's not that your parents and the rest of society intentionally misled you - they simply never knew the truth. Until recently, much of the information you are about so receive was deliberately withheld to allow the perceived realities of this planet to remain in place.
What you will read in these pages is disturbing, challenging, and threatening. However, you will never again forget who you really are.
According to Linda Salvin, host of the Visions & Solutions radio program, Going Deeper is "the hottest metaphysical book of the millennium…" It is, in the words of internationally known author, anthropologist, and social visionary Jean Houston, Ph.D., “an extraordinary work that harvests the wisdom of many times and peoples ... Mythic and masterful, it is a work to be read and reread.”
