Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia (Paperback)
by Elizabeth Gilbert

From The New Yorker
At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for "balancing." These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, "It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.'"

Millionth Circle:
How to Change Ourselves and the World
The Essential Guide to Women's Circles

by Jean Shinoda Bolen

Having searched for years for a book to recommend while leading women's circles, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen decided to write her own. In The Millionth Circle, she explains how to form a circle, with whom, and how to anticipate and resolve conflicts as they arise. Written in poetic language that invites readers to use intuition and draw upon their own insights, The Millionth Circle is designed to be the tool and inspiration for women to create new circles or deepen and transform existing ones into vehicles of societal and psychospiritual change. A combination of vision and how-to, it is Dr. Bolen's most activist work to date.

The Tent of Abraham: Stories of Hope and Peace forfor Jews, Christians, and Muslims

by Rabbi Arthur Waskow,, Sister Joan Chittister, Murshid Saadi Shakur Chishti

From Publishers Weekly

The three coauthors, representing the three major Western faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), explain each religion's basis for a monotheistic multifaith movement by delving into ancient stories. Waskow, a rabbi, offers intellectual perspective on the Abrahamic story, explaining symbolic themes of Judaism. The Torah, for instance, is said to have been written with "black fire on white fire": The white fire is the blank spaces, where Jews of each generation are meant to read and reread the language contained in the black fire. Catholic sister and popular writer Chittister describes the Middle East conflict with compelling anecdotes from her own firsthand experience in founding an Israeli-Palestinian women's group. Finally, Sufi writer Chishti discusses the spiritual content and opinions related to Islam. The authors explore provocative questions, such as which son Abraham meant to sacrifice (Isaac, ancestor of the Jews, or Ishmael, ancestor of the Muslims) and the nature of the relationship between Sarah and Hagar: were they devoted friends, rivals or simply property of Abraham? Evoking the "open tent" policy of Abraham, who welcomed all visitors to his home despite social mores, the coauthors air out all options. (July)
