Over a 10-year period, Steve Lehman traveled beyond the mountain vistas and timeless temples to uncover a different Tibet—a land of lumberyards and uranium mines, of brothels and discos, of demolished temples and burned-out police stations in this ravaged country.

A classic of faith-based activism―updated for a new generation.           Why was Daniel Berrigan wanted by the FBI? Why did Robert Coles harbor a fugitive?                         Listen in to the conversations between                 these two great teachers as they struggle with what it means to                 put your faith to the test. Discover how their story of                 challenging the status quo during a time of great political,                 religious, and social change is just as applicable to our lives                 today.             Thirty years ago, at the height of U.S.                 involvement in the Vietnam War, Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit                 priest, was wanted by the FBI for his nonviolent protest                 activities. He hid in the house of Robert Coles, who would                 later win the Pulitzer Prize. The two began a dialogue that                 encompasses a fascinating range of topics, from war,                 psychology, and violence, to social institutions, compassion,                 activism, and family life.              With this expanded, anniversary edition of                 a classic, new generations of readers can examine for                 themselves how spirituality is not only for ourselves, but                 often demands action and personal risk in the public arena.              New to this edition, Robert Coles offers                 historical perspective on this turbulent time and assesses the                 progress of faith-based activism in the years since. Daniel                 Berrigan challenges today’s activists in a new afterword.             Finally, a glossary of terms helps to                 clarify the key people, places, and movements that are often                 the subject of the Coles/Berrigan conversations.

Simone Weil: A Modern Pilgrimage

A brilliant portrait of a beloved and controversial figure in twentieth-century spirituality. Simone Weil (1906-1943) was a writer and philosopher who devoted her life to a search for God―while avoiding membership in organized religion. She wrote with the clarity of a brilliant mind educated in the best French schools, the social conscience of a grass-roots labor organizer, and the certainty and humility of a mystic―and she persistently carried out her search in the company of the poor and oppressed. Robert Coles's study of this strange and compelling figure includes the details of her short, eventful life: her academic career, her teaching, her political and social activism, and her mystical experiences. Coles also analyzes the major themes her life encompassed: her politics, her Jewish identity, her moral concerns, her intellect, and her experience of grace. This is the best, most accessible introduction to the woman who was a spiritual influence on the life and work of so many, among them T. S. Eliot, Flannery O'Connor, Adrienne Rich, and Albert Camus. Robert Coles, M.D., was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his five-volume Children of Crisis series. He is Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Humanities at Harvard Medical School and the James Agee Professor of Social Ethics at Harvard University, and is the author of many books, including The Spiritual Life of Children, The Moral Life of Children, and Dorothy Day: A Radical Devotion.
