Book Description
Taking a look at today's Church and religious situation, Neuhaus argues that there is a necessary awkwardness about Christian ministry because we are ambassadors of a "disputed sovereignty". Neuhaus also discusses the minister as leader of worship and the art, discipline, and "absurd responsibility" of being a preacher.

Book Description
According to Henri Nouwen, the bestselling spiritual writer, every Christian is a minister-trying to live his life in the light of the Gospel. Creative Ministry is a thoughtful examination of the various complex tasks that are part of that way of life.Separate chapters treat each of the five areas that Nouwen considers the primary responsibilities of the minister: teaching, preaching, counseling, organizing, and celebrating. He shows how these main functions are inextricably tied to the minister's spiritual life and why they must be directed toward a creative dialogue with other Christians if they are to be rewarding. It is also essential, he maintains, that the minister leave himself open, take risks, and "lay down his life for his friends" in order to give new life."There is today a great hunger for a new spirituality," observes Nouwen, a hunger that requires new and creative forms of ministry. Citing numerous examples from his rich experience, the author offers practical advice for infusing daily pastoral work with meaning. The result is an insightful presentation and a resonant spiritual guide for every man and woman who wants to be of service.

Hardcover Vanguard Pr
From Publishers Weekly
Written by the author of ReillyAce of Spies, this is an impressive book about the monastics of the order founded 900 years ago by St. Bruno. After sharing in a retreat at the Charterhouse in England, Lockhart steeped himself in the study of the Carthusians and their ancient examplars, among them Christ himself, John the Evangelist, the Essenes, later St. Anthony and others known as Desert Fathers. Cut off from the world, the ascetics devoted themselves to prayer, seeking direct communion with God; enveloped in silence and solitude, they have continued to follow the same way of life. Lockhart visited charterhouses for men and women in European countriesthere is now one in Vermont as wellwhile researching his beautifully written, fervently felt history. The photos here visually convey the calm, spiritual atmosphere of enclaves "halfway to heaven."
