    <![CDATA[In this timely book, authors Matthew and Terces Engelhart present the idea that<em> love before appearances</em> is the antidote to our spiritual, environmental, and social degradation. Exploring topics such as mission statements, manager as coach, human resources as a sacred culture, and inspirational meetings, they offer a manual for building a spiritual community <em>at the workplace</em>&#8212;a vital concept in an age when work consumes the bulk of most adults&#8217; time. Business, the authors explain, is all about providing a service, product, or experience the market wants, and no business can succeed by failing to understand this point. However, integrating the concept of &#8220;Sacred Commerce&#8221; into business can provide both financial success and spiritual satisfaction. Stressing that every business is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of both clients and employees, the Engelharts share the tools they&#8217;ve learned in their own enterprises to fulfill this vision. <em>Sacred Commerce</em> is the ideal mix of the personal and the practical&#8212;a guidebook written by people who have felt success, not just spent it. Dissatisfaction with work is at record levels, and the Engelharts show that you don&#8217;t have to suffer personally&#8212;or give up your humanity&#8212;to pay the mortgage.]]>

    <![CDATA[Abundance is a quality of Spirit, a property of our being just as joy, love, peace, and happiness are. Our access to a world of plenty is not doing more, manipulating, figuring, winning, competing, hoarding, or luck. Abundance is a way of being alive, a mindful practice that replaces scarcity and survival with an awareness of the always being provided for. <br/><br/>Matthew and Terces Engelhart are parents, entrepreneurs (owners of Cafe Gratitude LLC, a chain of vegan restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles), and &#8220;lifers&#8221; in the field of transformation. With humor, authenticity, and passion they have us get present to the depth that our human consciousness is steeped in scarcity, not enough love, money, time, etc. Then in the awareness of that almost unbearable trap they provide an awakening to being at the source of infinite supply. Readers are left with a solid stake in the experience of being provided for and a forty-two day practice to establish their lives in the flow of the Abounding River.]]>
