Spiritual Guidance 26 Spiritual Wisdom 26

SkyLight Paths Publishing is creating a place where people of different spiritual traditions come together for challenge and inspiration, a place where we can help each other understand the mystery that lies at the heart of our existence.

Through spirituality, our religious beliefs are increasingly becoming a part of our lives—rather than apart from our lives. While many of us may be more interested than ever in spiritual growth, we may be less firmly planted in traditional religion.

Yet, we do want to deepen our relationship to the sacred, to learn from our own as well as from other faith traditions and to practice in new ways.

SkyLight Paths sees both believers and seekers as a community that increasingly transcends traditional boundaries of religion and denomination— people wanting to learn from each other, walking together, finding the way.

What Are We Doing?

SkyLight Paths recognizes that believers and seekers of different faith traditions, or no specific tradition, want to listen to and learn from each other as never before. We want to help them. This does not mean that our readers leave their own religious traditions behind. It does mean that they are open to one faith enriching another. SkyLight Paths will help believers deepen their faith and help seekers in their search.

We will succeed only if our books make a difference in your life. We are all walking together, finding the way.

Discover Henri Nouwen’s authentic, spacious spirituality of being deeply beloved.

This introduction to the spiritual thought of Henri Nouwen distills his key insights on the realm of the spiritual life into an inspiring overview of Nouwen’s spirituality of the heart.

Thematically assembled to direct readers to the corresponding primary sources, it explores the three spiritual constructs—solitude, community and ministry—that Nouwen addresses in much of his writing, and how they form what he saw as a balanced, authentic spirituality.

“ This is a life-giving reminder that spirituality is not a program added to one’s life, but it spills from our heart and from the very core of our being.

This book is both an invitation and an essential encouragement.”

To play by the Golden Rule often means shifting the game.

This provocative and challenging exploration of the Golden Rule, for people of all faiths or none, neither praises the Rule uncritically nor naively insists that it is applicable in every situation. Rather, it looks critically at the Rule in the context of game theory, showing you a powerful way to transform your life and be driven by love.

“ The Golden Rule may not be golden for the reasons you think! In this provocative book, Rabbi Rami leads us to a life of infinite play, where the outcome of the game is a gorgeous paradox: everyone wins.”

In this way, grief is a pathway to a more soul-centered life.“ —from the Introduction by Thomas Moore This soulful companion for grief offers wisdom and creative spiritual practices for expressing and experiencing sorrow while keeping a life-giving connection to the past. Whether you need to grieve in words or silence, in solitude or in company with others, this gentle guidance from across spiritual traditions will meet you where you are and help you find wholeness and a renewed vision of yourself and the world.

Daniel F. Polish, PhD

Reuven Firestone, PhD

This fascinating and accessible introduction to the theologies of four modern religious thinkers will help you break through the superficial generalities to plumb the depths of religious differences and embrace the commonalities.

What does it mean to be “chosen”? Why did God have to choose? Explores the idea of covenant and the expressions of supersessionism as articulated through the scriptures of the three major monotheistic religions.

“ A very well written introduction to [religious] aspects of these influential writers....

Excellent reading.”
