BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
"Calm Is Greater Than Joy" describes how the man of understanding lives his life without the sense of separation (without seeing the manifestation as the face of an enemy). The Sage is in perfect harmony with whatever happens in the manifestation. He is able to use his working mind because the 'me' mind, the thinking mind, has merged into the Heart. Here four renowned Masters describe how they are able to live in samsara (in the eye of the storm) in total peace without isolating themselves. Their calm is quite contagious because the mind in them has stopped creating problems; they have no issues either with God or with the society they live in.
