~Becoming: As Truth Is and As Love Does~ by Elmore Giles, Jr. This
new, inspirational, aphoristic and profound book is a fine
introduction to theosophy. As the title suggests, both wings of
spirituality, Wisdom-- realization of truth, and Love -- compassionate
action, are equally emphasized. The main sections focus on Ethics,
Values & Ideals and Spirituality. The middle section is the largest,
with many virtues and vices and ideals touched on in short chapters.
Virtually every sentence is a powerful seed thought for meditation and
action.
Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon have it.
Best,
Nicholas
