Reaching Out The Three Moments of the Spiritual Life

Nouwen, Henri J.M.

$34.50
No Stock

With the clarity and depth characteristic of the classics, this spiritual bestseller lays out a perceptive and insightful plan for living a spiritual life and achieving the ultimate goal of that life -- union with God. Nouwen views our spiritual "ascent" as evolving in three movements. The first, from loneliness to solitude, focuses on the spiritual life as it relates to the experience of our own selves. The second, from hostility to hospitality, deals with our spiritual life as a life for others. The final movement, from illusion to prayer, offers penetrating thoughts on the most mysterious relationship of all: our relationship to God. Throughout, Nouwen emphasizes that the more we understand (and not simply deny) our inner struggles, the more fully we will be able to embrace a prayerful and genuine life that is also open to others' needs. Reaching Out is a rich book to be read, reread, pondered, and shared with others. "It does not offers answers or solutions," Nouwen cautions, "bu..

O MY JESUS The meaning of Fatima

Stephen Bullivant & Luke Arredondo

$27.99
No Stock

"In the twentieth century, the O my Jesus prayer became almost an essential part of the Rosary for Catholics around the world. And yet, what does the prayer mean? Over the centuries, countless commentaries on the Our Father and Hail Mary have been written. But what about the Fatima prayer? In O my Jesus, theologians Luke Arredondo and Stephen Bullivant take the reader on a guided tour of this important (and even controversial) prayer. The result is a thought-provoking window into the history and theology of the Fatima prayer and its place in the Rosary for today." --Brant Pitre, author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist Despite its brevity, the Fatima prayer is one of remarkable theological depth - not to mention, daring. In the space of just twenty-nine words,it broaches some of the great themes of Christianity: sin, forgiveness, mercy, heaven, and hell. it also touches on two hot topics within contemporary Catholic discussion - having a personal relationship with "my J..

It's Good To Be Here

Christina Chase

$34.99

My life is very little. "i can't walk; i can't sit up straight; i can't feed myself. If you and I meet, the first thing you'll notice will be my body crumpled in a wheelchair. Once I could at least sit up, but now my weak neck is bent over and my spine is bent so much that my head falls heavily upon my left shoulder and my hunched back." So writes Christina Chase, the twenty-first century Therese of Lisieux whose "Littleness" is humbler even than that of the Little Flower, but whose spiritual power is, by every discernible measure, of comparable intensity. Crippled though she is, Christina's fearful disabilities have led her not into anger, bitterness, or despair, but rather into a profound and exceptional encounter with God's love itself - an encounter that you, too, can experience through the gentle allure of Christina's witness. Locked now for decades within her own fragile, helpless body, Christina has been graced with extraordinary insights into the similar helplessness of Je..

The Divine Comedy, translated by Allen Mandelbaum, begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year 1300. It proceeds on a journey that, in its intense recreation of the depths and the heights of human experience, has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity. Mandelbaum's astonishingly Dantean translation, which captures so much of the life of the original, renders whole for us the masterpiece of that genius whom our greatest poets have recognized as a central model for all poets. This Everyman's edition-containing in one volume all three cantos, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso-includes an introduction by Nobel Prize-winning poet Eugenio Montale, a chronology, notes, and a bibliography.
