Psychology & Counseling, New Age & Spirituality 

Rich in profound and memorable insights, Life Lines is an illustrated anthology of 365 inspirations and meditations on love and peace intended for all those with a open mind and open heart.

The text selection has been made by Marcus Braybrooke, the Joint President of the World Congress of Faiths and a leading figure in the Interfaith movement, teaching universal spiritual values that transcend the limitation of doctrine.

He has drawn upon poetry and prose, sacred and secular, from all around the world and from all ages - from the Upanishads and the Tao Te Ching to the speeches of Mahatma Gandhi, from the Hebrew Bible to Great 19th and 20th century poets such as Walt Whitman, Rainer Maria Rilke, Wallace Stevens and Seamus Heaney.

The book shares wholeheartedly and delightedly in the ecumenical spirit of the 21st century, appealing to people of all faiths - as well as to those who believe in spiritual values without subscribing to a particular religion or even belief in a divinity.

The inspirations and meditations are arranged thematically, following a structure that reflects the idea of love radiating outward - from self-steem, the acknowledgement of spirit within onself; though love for family and friends; though love for humankind in general; to love for the One, the spiritual essence that animates all existence.

Approximately 80 colout photographs have been specially chosen to add dimension of visual beauty to the texts, serving as a meditative focus for contemplation and quiet thoughts.

Life Lines is a finely balanced collection of inspirations and meditations for a variety of moods and situations, but always with the emphasis upon the poetic and the positive - the life-enhancing, the love-enhnacing.
