How to Know God
You don't have to believe in God in order to experience God.
—- Deepak Chopra
The celebrated author of Ageless Body, Timeless Mind and The Seven Spiritual
Laws of Success has written his most ambitious and important work yet, a
runaway international bestseller that has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers
to rethink their concept of God.
According to Chopra, the brain is hardwired to know God. The human nervous
system has seven biological responses that correspond to seven levels of divine
experience. These are shaped not by any one religion (they are shared by all faiths),
but by the brain's need to take an infinite, chaotic universe and find meaning in it.
How to Know God describes the quest each of us is on, whether we realize it or
not. For, as Chopra puts it, "God is our highest instinct to know ourselves." This
book makes a dramatic and enduring contribution to that knowledge.

Ten Commandments: The Significance of God's Laws in Everyday Life
The Ten Commandments are the first direct communication between a people and
God. Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the
sublime levels humanity is capable or experiencing, they are the blueprint of
God's expectations of us and His plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life.
Each commandment asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focal point
for real-life issues relating to God, family, sex, work, charity, property, speech,
and thought. Written in collaboration with Rabbi Stewart Vogel, The Ten
Commandments incorporates lively discussion of the Bible and the
Judeo-Christian values derived from it. Filled with passion, emotion, and
profound insights, it will move, enlighten, inspire, entertain, and educate you on
the meaning each commandment has in our daily lives today:
I am the Lord, your God, Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt, from the
house of slavery.
You shall not recognize the gods of others in My presence.
You shall not take the Name of the Lord., your God, in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day and sanctify it.
Honor your Father and your Mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your fellow.
You shall not covet.

Paul: The Mind of the Apostle
In this astonishing, gripping narrative, the bestselling biographer of Tolstoy, C.S.
Lewis, and Jesus presents an extraordinary new profile: the psychological journey
of Paul the Apostle, the man who invented Christianity.
From the Publisher
As A. N. Wilson, biographer of Tolstoy, C. S. Lewis, and Jesus, makes clear in
this astonishing and gripping narrative, Christianity without Paul is quite literally
nothing. Jesus, with the layers of exegesis, scholarship, and ceremony stripped
away, is a Jew, a fastidious and fervent Jew, who would lead his followers into a
stricter, purer observance of Judaism. It is Paul who will claim divinity for him,
who will transform him into the Messiah, center of an entirely new religion. In
Wilson's deft and psychologically astute narrative, we see Paul negotiating the
dangerous political currents of the Roman Empire; traveling everywhere; making
converts; writing the great epistles that define our understanding of Christ and the
sublime paradoxes of his teaching; defusing the natural antagonism of the supreme
temporal power to this dangerous spiritual force, Christianity, which would in
time consume that empire from within. What drove Paul? What fueled this act of
inspired creativity? What would he think of what his church has become? The
answers lie in Wilson's extraordinary biography, which lays bare the psychological
journey of Christianity's true inventor.
