Book Review:

In The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore, spiritual author and teacher, Deepak Chopra, sets forth an evocative notion that in addition to the “historical” Jesus and “the one appropriated by Christianity,” there is a third Jesus, “who taught his followers how to reach God-consciousness.” This focus on Consciousness will likely be a new way for Christians to think about Jesus, and Chopra provides a wonderful context for thinking about Jesus in a new light. Chopra explores Jesus’s vision for human existence via eight areas, including nature, society, relationships, psychology, emotions, behavior, biology, and metaphysics, and contrasts it with how the reality of existence in these areas was actually experienced.

For the typical Westerner, the word yoga brings to mind a series of postures designed to increase flexibility and improve strength. But could yoga also have the power to increase awareness, change how you think and act, and provide a guiding set of principles from which to center your life? Stephen Cope shares how in his fascinating book The Wisdom of Yoga: A Seeker’s Guide to Extraordinary Living. Cope reveals practical principles for living drawn from “a two-thousand-year-old treatise called the Yoga-Sūtra.”
