The Inner Alphabet offers a spiritual approach for learning the ABCs. While most alphabet books are externally focused, The Inner Alphabet is internally focused. Each letter has a word and corresponding statement to help children understand the word’s meaning. The age-appropriate statements are intended to be conversation starters for adults to teach children about the mind-set and choices that form the foundation for healthy, balanced living. For instance, A is for “Appreciation,” encouraging kids to look for things to appreciate. The letter B is for “Body;” children have bodies, but they also have souls. C is for “Confidence;” children should believe in themselves and know they are capable, and so on. This book is an excellent tool for adults who want children to develop the habit of being self-aware, which is a key component to social and emotional well being. Not only does The Inner Alphabet guide children on a path to self-realization, but it also builds literacy and vocabulary skills. Help your child learn the ABCs of authentic and happy living. It’s an alphabet book for the soul!

This book-length meditation on the Hebrew alphabet offers profound insights into many important ideas found in Jewish thought. From time immemorial, the Hebrew alphabet has been considered to be more than a collection of individual letters. Indeed, the essence of each letter of the Hebrew alphabet can be seen as a fundamental building block of the world. Jewish scholars throughout the ages have meditated on these letters, deriving spiritual inspiration in the process. In The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters, Robert M. Haralick looks closely at each of the Hebrew characters, helping us to gain insight from this remarkable tradition. Drawing primarily upon traditional kabbalistic and chasidic thought, Haralick combines his own insights with those of great Jewish personalities such as Moshe Chayim Luzzatto and Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, as well as drawing upon classical texts, including the Bahir, the Zohar, the Midrash, and the Talmud. One of Haralick's main sources of inspiration is the ancient Jewish art of gematria, where each letter has a numerical value as does each combination of letters. Through this traditional methodology, Haralick shows his readers the many, often dazzling, ways that the Hebrew alphabet has been examined.

From minding your Ps and Qs to wondering why X should mark the spot, Alphabetical is a book for everyone who loves words and language. Whether it's how letters are arranged on keyboards or Viking runes, textspeak or zip codes, this book will change the way you think about letters for ever. How on Earth did we fix upon our twenty-six letters, what do they really mean, and how did we come to write them down in the first place? Michael Rosen takes you on an unforgettable adventure through the history of the alphabet in twenty-six vivid chapters, fizzing with personal anecdotes and fascinating facts. Starting with the mysterious Phoenicians and how sounds first came to be written down, he races on to show how nonsense poems work, pins down the strange story of OK, traces our seven lost letters and tackles the tyranny of spelling, among many, many other things. His heroes of the alphabet range from Edward Lear to Phyllis Pearsall (the inventor of the A-Z), and from the two scribes of Beowulf to rappers. Each chapter takes on a different subject - codes, umlauts or the writing of dictionaries. Rosen's enthusiasm for letters positively leaps off the page, whether it's the story of his life told through the typewriters he's owned or a chapter on jokes written in a string of gags and word games. So if you ever wondered why Hawaiian only has a thirteen-letter alphabet or how exactly to write down the sound of a wild raspberry, read on . . .

A startling and gorgeous work by Denmark's most admired poet finally available in English translation.

The Sacred Phoenician Alphabet is the foundation stone upon which many Legends and Stories have been based, including the 'Story of Creation' in Genesis, the 'Mystical Kabbalah', and the 'True Art of Astrology'. And while it is highly probable that most people have some knowledge of these Ancient Traditions, the majority of Humanity have no understanding of how they originated, or of the message they convey to us, concerning our 'Perception of Reality'. This is because since their original conception, the context of these stories has been altered to reflect the philosophies and lifestyle of successive generations, until the Spiritual Wisdom which they exemplify is now often misunderstood, and even feared by many. The original Symbols of the Sacred Phoenician Alphabet are alleged to have been devised by a tribe of Canaanites around 2000 B.C., who later became known as the Phoenicians. And the Symbols are a simplistic representation of the Phoenician perspective of our 'Journey through Life', and tell the story of the Beneficent, Androgynous, Mother God-dess of Pure Magical Light, and the 'Miraculous Process of Self-Creation' which takes place within us when we pronounce the resonant sounds of the Spoken Word. The Sacred Phoenician Symbols were later adapted into Letters to record the Hebrew 'Story of Creation', 'Kabbalah' and 'Astrology' in written form; possibly first in the 'Sefer Yetzirah', (Book of Creation), and later in the Bible, to show us the 'Way to our Salvation'. However, the Phoenicians maintained that we do not need 'saving', only to change our present Life Story. The Tarot is also mentioned in the Manual, since although not directly related to the Sacred Phoenician Alphabet, it too tells the Story of our Journey through Life to our Divine Destination.
