"This book nailed me to the wall! It has given me the power to change the way I believe, the way I feel, and the way I behave toward others. I'm very grateful." Finally, you can read the book we've all been waiting for, the book that will change forever the way you see yourself and your relationships. At the root of all our anger, our feelings of separation from one another, and our problems in relationships is our belief that we have been victimized. In Real Love and Freedom for the Soul we learn about the "secret disease" of victimhood, which is a primary component of almost all conflict in the world. As you read Real Love and Freedom for the Soul, you'll learn: - the real reason you often feel angry and resentful toward other people - how you can eliminate the anger that is destroying your happiness and relationships - why businesses often fail - why so many of our children are angry and rebellious - the real cause of racial prejudice in the world - how you can achieve a level of freedom and peace you never before imagined possible

One of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century shares his philosophy on self-discovery, free will, and the search for a place and purpose in life. “I myself am a question. I know not who I am. What to do? Where to go?”—Osho Destiny, Freedom, and the Soul: What Is the Meaning of Life? explores deeply human questions, such as: Is there really such a thing as “soul,” and if so, what is it? Where does the concept of karma fit in? Does my life have a special meaning or purpose? Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

The Baptist tradition stands in great peril of losing the cherished principles of the free exercise of religion, the freedom from political interference with faith, and the right of self-determination in all matters related to religion.The authors discuss the importance of the Bible in the Baptist faith and the responsibility of people for their actions regarding church, family, and beliefs. Our relationship with God is an individual responsibility. It is God to whom we are ultimately responsible. Soul freedom, all freedom, and responsibility are God's supreme gift to humanity. The dignity and respect afforded to persons come from God as revealed in Scripture.Soul Freedom contains essays that examine considerably controversial issues. This book comes at a time when the Baptist commitment to soul freedom feeds the deeper hunger of the hearts of millions of persons seeking authenticity in religion.
