Be the Best: Do It Easy, Do It Now (Book No. 25)
By Uriah J. Fields
Paperback: 255 Pages
Dimensions: 5 x 8 inches
The title of this book "be the best: do it easy, do it now" more than suggests that a person can "be the best" with ease and in the momentary now. Being the best is within the reach of everyone, especially the person who will not merely read this book but experience what he reads. The latter can be accomplished by making application of the principles presented and practicing or engaging the theories in actual experiential operations, or, in a word, livingness.
The author admonishes readers that "there is no 'universal best' for the individual or best 'across-the-board' that is best for every situation or condition." The message presented here is: you can be the best without a struggle and in the here-and-now. The life- enhancing dividends for being the best are enormous.
The Mutuality Warrior: The Person Best Prepared
to Survive and Experience Meaning (Book No. 26)
By Uriah J. Fields
Paperback: 138 pages
Dimensions: 5 x 8 inches
"The Mutuality Warrior" answers the question, "How are we to live our lives reasonably safe from destructiveness without withdrawing or hiding to avoid things we fear and apparent danger?" This book is an expose on the preparation of the Mutuality Warrior. It tells the story of the travelogue of the journey of the Mutuality Warrior Omoro Kinte, how he handled challenges, rendered compassionate service and the role singing played in his life. "The Mutuality Warrior" establishes beyond any doubt the need for people to become Mutuality Warriors and shows why we, as a society, cannot afford not to.
Religion Par Excellence: Actualization of the
Seven Storey Nature of Man (Book No. 27)
By Uriah J. Fields
Paperback: 260 pages
Dimensions: 5 x 8 inches
"Religion Par Excellence" asserts that man is a religious being and offers guidelines and insights into how religion can be used to bring about inner harmony and promote human development. It further indicates that it is not enough for a person to be religious but emphasizes the need for him to possess a "religion of transcendence" if he is to experience potential living. This book can help a person extricate himself from the religious trap, if that is his condition, and embrace a 'religion of transcendence."
A "religion of transcendence" has nothing to do with faiths, such as Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism, or with denominations such as Catholic and Protestant, or whether a person belong to a sect or an organized religious organization or no religious organization at all. An adherent of a "religion of transcendence" may be affiliated with any of the above religious groups or he may not even belong to any religious organization.
A "religion of transcendence" is not geared to heredity and environment or cause and effect, as is true with other forms of religion, such as a "religion of conformity." It transforms form and religion, as well as those factors and forces which we hold to be supernatural by redefining them and disregarding illusions about them. In a "religion of transcendence" doing is manifested becoming and simultaneously in being becoming ceases, at least for the moment.

The Saint Troubadour: Speaking and Singing Truth and Love
By Uriah J. Fields
Paperback: 413 pages
Dimensions: 6 x 9 inches
Can the great troubadours, also known as warriors of the past, empowered by a Kierkegaardian philosophy and Jungian thought, offer meaning in our lives today? This collection of meditations, essays, prose poems, lyrics and commentaries, gathered by the author of his writings extending over a half century, forms a manifesto that summarizes his lifework. In the role of a troubadour with a philosopher's heart, he shares how infusing the activities of life with reverence, compassion and trust makes them come alive with meaning and purpose.
This book tells the story of the author's own personal evolution and transformation that took a leap of faith when he was a leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and his association with Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, E. D. Nixon and Ralph D. Abernathy. This book espouses a way of being that promotes optimum health, individual and social actualization, and the practice of community.
In this book the author unabashedly and unapologetically declares that he is a Saint Troubadour.
