Where Are You? A Beginner's Guide to Advanced Spirituality by Dan Ehrenkrantz

Winner
Spirituality: Inspirational
2022 Best Book Awards

In Where Are You? A Beginner’s Guide to Advanced Spirituality, Dan Ehrenkrantz leads you on a journey of transformation. Drawing from multiple traditions, the reader finds a spirituality that fits within every religion, and within no religion. Atheists and believers, the faithful and the rebellious, will all experience a taste of enlightenment. There is no dogma to be accepted, no ideas to be believed. Instead, readers are asked to place authority in their own experience.

The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 is designed to take you on a journey to spiritual awakening. Part 2 explores life from within the awakened state.

Where Are You? explores what it means to live from the enlightened perspective. When we come home to ourselves, we allow others to do the same. Spirituality is not an escape. It’s a prescription for living fully and bringing a loving presence to the world.

Does My Voice Matter? A Journey of Self-Discovery, Authenticity, and Empowerment by Cynthia James

Finalist
Spirituality: Inspirational
2022 Best Book Awards

We live in a critical and oftentimes violent world. People are afraid to talk about what they feel, think, or believe. They withhold energy for fear of being ridiculed, punished, or excluded. They hide their deepest dreams and desires away and cover them up with doubt, insecurity, old experiences, and fears. Cynthia James know this—because that was her experience.

Covering seven decades of living, traveling, and growing, Does My Voice Matter? follows James’s journey of self-discovery and authenticity as she gradually recognizes that she has a voice—and learns how to use it. She uses her own life experiences as a backdrop for her exploration of how the voice is used as a tool of engagement; how a singular or collective voice can enhance empowerment, transparency, and accountability; and, finally, how expression can develop new ideas, shift cultures, political views, transform organizations, create laws, and improve lives.

Dying To See: Revelations About God, Jesus, Our Pathways, And The Nature Of The Soul by Janet D. Tarantino

Finalist
Spirtuality: Inspirational
2022 Best Book Awards

What happens after we die? What is consciousness? Are God, Jesus, heaven, and angels real? In the past, these age-old burning questions remained entirely unanswered until near-death experiences, like Janet Tarantino’s, have shed light on what lies beyond life on this earth.

Janet’s engaging story is passionate yet humble, thought-provoking yet mind-shattering, and leaves readers wanting a supernatural experience too—but Janet warns we need to be careful what we wish for. She says these types of experiences can blow one’s life apart like glass shattering to pieces until the NDEr understands the deeper meaning of what God was conveying. It is only after understanding the important messages within that bring wholeness, joy, and comfort to our lives in the fact that we never die and life goes on into eternity.

Janet says the narratives of her three near-death experiences hold characteristics that are not restricted to one religion but stretch the boundaries to contain aspects of Christianity, Buddhism, Spirituality, and possibly more because she says God is the superpower of everything.

Spirtuality: Inspirational
2022 Best Book Awards

After being married for ten years and having two children, author and yogi Molly Chanson lives with a nagging feeling that something is wrong.

Is It God Or Coincidence?...Coming To Grips With The Unexpected Wonders In Life by Rob Ekno

Finalist
Spirituality: General
2022 Best Book Awards

At what point does one consider the seemingly chance occurrences of life mere “coincidences” versus so-called “God shots?” You know, those events in life that—by virtue of their timing, clarity, or incredible odds—bring about improbable or unimaginable outcomes? In the search for meaning, each of us ultimately must find our own answers. In the pages of this book, however, you may find some welcome inspiration, encouragement, and hope for the journey.

Author Rob Ekno turned from a life of battling his demons to becoming remarkably attuned to the Spirit of the Universe. From the abyss of despair to the mountaintop of joy and bliss, a flow of timely and consistent happenings illuminated the pages of Ekno’s life like falling drops of light, and held him spellbound. So, too, is the reaction of people hearing his stories of these events—for in their telling, our eyes are opened a little wider to the ineffable grace all around us.

Qigong Grand Circulation is an ancient path toward spiritual enlightenment.

Spiritual enlightenment is a uniquely human endeavor; a universal and timeless quest to understand the mysteries of our lives. Perhaps it began when humans looked at the stars and first felt the enchantment of awe.

But today, with all of our comforts and technological advancements, we are not satisfied. Our lives are noisy.

  • Our bodies are under steady assault by pseudo-foods, poisons, and sedentary lifestyles.
  • Our spirit is chaotic, competing with dogma and fear.
  • We struggle to unplug, to disconnect, to deeply relax.
  • The search for spiritual development has never been more urgent.
