Devotions: Wisdom from the Cradle of Civilisation is the sixth instalment in Danielle and Olivier Follmi's project Offerings for Humanity, which spans the world's cultures and traditions. In this new volume, the authors have travelled to the Middle East and captured images from Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, United Aran Emirates, Jordon, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and many other places. Each photograph is accompanied by a quote for each day of the year. Devotions presents not only religious quotes taken from the Koran, the Hebraic tradition and Eastern Christianity, but also from noted authors such as the Sufi poet and jurist Rumi, the Persian writer and mathematician Omar Khayyam and the Lebanese-American Artist Khalil Gibran. A daily dose of wisdom coupled with breathtaking photography, Devotions allows the reader to move a little closer to the heart of the wisdom found in the Cradle of Civilisation.

Indian Wisdom 365 Days celebrates those who live in harmony with the forces of earth and sky, who aspire to nirvana — the highest level of heart, body — and mind-consciousness. This beautiful daybook by Danielle and Olivier Follmi presents the wise words of a great master, philosopher or poet for every day of the year, accompanied by Olivier's sensitive and moving photographs of Indian people and places. The effect is transformative, awakening our senses and preparing our souls to receive these simple yet profound teachings. Contemporary specialists on Indian culture have also contributed to Indian Wisdom 365 Days, which draws on such ancient yet timeless sources as poems by Rabindranath Tagore and Krishnamurti; the longest epic in world literature, the Mahabarata; and the most significant of the Hindu sacred writings, the Veda. A treasure in both content and form, this insprational book artfully conveys the essence of India.
