 The Camino
by Shirley MacLaine
This captivating book chronicles MacLaine's pilgrimage across northern Spain on the scenic 500-mile long Santiago de Compostela Camino. "It is said that the 'Camino' lies directly under the Milky Way and follows ley lines that reflect the energy from those star systems above it...The Santiago Camino has been traversed for thousands of years by saints, sinners, generals, misfits, kings and queens." It is traveled with the intent to find one's true spiritual Self and to find peace within one's self. Guided by unseen friends, MacLaine conquers the Camino's vast emotional and physical obstacles, resulting in an incredibly profound understanding of her spiritual identity, human origins, and time. Inspiring and affirming, you may read this book more than once as you, too, move along your journey of the spirit. Reviewed by Renee Rathman, a friend of NRB.

 Meetings With Remarkable Women
Revised, updated edition by Lenore Friedman
For a decade Meetings With Remarkable Women has stood out as a landmark book. Author and Buddhist practitioner, Lenore Friedman set out to interview women who became lineage holders of Buddhist Traditions in the West. These women are not only strong practitioners of Buddhism but strong leaders within their traditions. Previously it was thought that one shouldn't look at the cultural conditioning of Buddhist literary beliefs about the female. The looking was considered 'un-dharmic'. Since Buddhism is now grounded in the West, we are setting a new tone and attitude about being female and Buddhist. It is not only inspiring to read the interviews and to catch up on the last 10 years in this revised edition, but also to see the ground breaking steps these women had to take to get to where they are. Each story is different yet similar. Each woman put her heart into the practice of Buddhist meditation and it shows. What a great contribution not only to Buddhist literature but to Women's literature as well. Savor each story, be inspired by these remarkable women's journey and allow them to deeply guide you. May all benefit from reading about remarkable women. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell.
