The Way of Zen
by Alan Watts
"Watts' conversational style of explaining the Zen lifestyle/mindset shines throughout this title. If you've never studied Zen before, or if you've been practicing for years, you will undoubtedly find something in this title that will speak to you. It's been called "the most explicit and orderly account of Zen Buddhism that has appeared in English." "

by Abe Streep
"A true story about the Arlee Warriors Basketball team and their road to winning a Class C State Championship! This story is about so much more; it touches on struggles of growing up, losing family, tradition and social expectations that come with living in a small town. A must read for anyone!"
