Follow the Journey from Tradition to Truth in "Undeceived" by Eli Yoder At eighteen, Eli Yoder made the life-altering decision to leave the oppressive and often abusive confines of his Old-Order Amish community. Venturing into the unfamiliar "English" world, he sought freedom from condemnation and ultimately discovered the life-giving truths of the Bible and liberation from the deceptions of human traditions. "Undeceived" is more than an exposé of Amish life; it is one man's heartfelt and intimate search for faith, authenticity, and redemption. While critical of the heretical and harsh practices of his Amish roots, Eli's deep respect and love for the Amish people and lifestyle shine through as he pursues a reality that goes beyond the traditions of his upbringing. For anyone feeling bound by the customs and beliefs of their past or trapped by their life situation, Eli's testimony of tragedy and triumph is a powerful reminder that true freedom does not come through religious practices, institutions, or human ordinance, but through the simple grace and truth of Jesus Christ.

Mind and Its World I begins a detailed analysis of the subjective side of experience. It examines mind and how it perceives its world in valid and invalid ways based on the Classifications of Mind, which provides divisions and definitions of the types of mind identified in the epistemological tradition of Dignaga and Dharmakirti. The key point is the discernment of the aspects of mind that validly perceive things the way they are, which are distinguished from those aspects of mind that are mistaken and tainted by fundamental delusion, and thus keep one bound in samsara. It also introduces the two Hinayana philosophical systems, the Vaibhashika and Sautrantika schools, covering the two truths and the process of perception.
