Congrats to Edward Sellner, whose new book on Thomas Merton, Jack Kerouac, and Zen, KINDRED SPIRITS, is out today!

“This ambitious work aims to draw parallels between two post–World War II luminaries: the Trappist monk Thomas Merton and the Beat writer Jack Kerouac, two men who, as the author states, were ‘so different in personal choices and lifestyles’ yet united by their shared interest in Buddhism. In alternating chapters, the lives of Merton and Kerouac are relayed chronologically. Sellner relies on primary source material—letters, diaries, interviews, recollected conversations—to tell their stories.”—Kirkus Reviews

Congratulations, Rami Shapiro!
His new book, Love and the Bible, is out today.

“Incisive and thought-provoking, Love and the Bible goes beyond the constraints of religion to advocate working with the Bible as an active pursuit from the position that all that exists is an expression of the divine, which becomes clear ‘when love lifts you beyond the self and into the Self.’”--Foreword Reviews
