El Nuevo Monaquismo by Rory McEntee and Adam Bucko
“The New Monasticism is a sensitive and often symphonic rendering of Wisdom’s irresistible call to participate in the life story of God through intimate gatherings with others, communion with Earth, and the discovery of the divine Artist who lives in every person. As more and more people feel themselves drawn to new and ancient models of community, creativity, prayer, and peacemaking, McEntee and Bucko have given us an indispensable handbook for what Thomas Merton calls ‘the work of new being in grace.’ This is an inspired invitation and blueprint, tested by the authors’ real-world experiences, for rediscovering Love and mystical theology as an integral way of life.”
-Christopher Pramuk, PhD, author of Sophia: The Hidden Christ of Thomas Merton
In honor of Reb Zalman’s 80th birthday, we invited thirteen of his students and colleagues to participate in a special tribute to the ‘Rebbe of Renewal.’ We felt it would give Reb Zalman true naḥas (satisfaction) to see the teachings he had learned from his own Hasidic rebbes (masters) through the eyes of his students and friends. Thus, we have collected eleven teachings and stories of Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn of Lubavitch (1880-1950), Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Lubavitch (1902-1994), and Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam of Bobov (1908-2000), and asked Reb Zalman’s own students and friends to create new versions of these teachings, according to their own paradigm-shifted understanding.— Netanel Miles-Yépez Executive Editor

“The monologue of the Religious Right is over. And a new dialogue has begun. This book is a sign of that dialogue. You may not agree with everything on these pages (I didn’t), but you can’t help but be stirred to join the conversation—and to dive into a movement that is reimagining the world. Matthew and Adam refuse to see faith as just a ticket into heaven, and they invite you to join them—and to join God—in bringing heaven down to earth.”

"Drawing on the wisdom of the world's great religions, lay monk Teasdale explores such fundamentals as the meaning of friendship, the inherent dignity of work, the nature of suffering, and ways to enact social change...Teasdale, who himself lives in the heart of a big American city (Chicago), explains how to cultivate contemplation and integrate monasticism into everyday life in a busy world...he advocates a truly kinder, gentler society, in which compassionate and loving hearts may transform the crass and dehumanizing aspects of capitalism...Teasdale depicts the contemplative person as an agent of social change, a revolutionary in the most expansive, spiritual sense of the word." - June Sawyers
Contrary to what most people think, Hasidism is as old or older than Judaism itself. Indeed, it is a perennial movement of the spirit arising again and again through the centuries in various contemplative movements in Judaism. Among these have been three significant movements, or revolutionary "turnings" in Jewish consciousness that have significantly impacted future generations. Now, the authors tell us, we are on the cusp of a "Fourth Turning of Hasidism," the foundations of which are outlined in this bold little book.
