Hardcover Multnomah

From the Publisher They were the most critical hours in history. For during those six hours on that Friday, God embedded in the earth anchors sturdy enough to withstand any storm-even the ones Christians face today. Challenges, temptations, and tragedies threaten to overturn and sink every believer-but it'll be okay, says Max Lucado. Just anchor deep. In this audio release of the empowering bestseller, Lucado reveals the three solid anchors believers can count on today: their lives are not futile, their failures are not fatal, and their deaths are not final. Those Six Hours One Friday equip readers to hold on no matter what the forecast.

Hardcover ACTA Publications

From Publishers Weekly This collection opens with a beautiful story by Kass Dotterweich about the Christmas when her five-year-old son gave unusual gifts to all the family. This is followed by a moving array of personal tales from Tom McGrath, Michael Leach, Carol DeChant and John Shea, among others. Most of the stories are informed by an explicitly Catholic perspective, but the values embraced will resonate with all Christians. Writers muse on the Christmas presents they remember most, which turn out to be either intangible blessings or simple, tangible things (a toaster, in one case) invested with special meaning. Patrick Hannon contributes a particularly marvelous story about not getting a puppy for his eighth Christmas, and Vinita Hampton Wright offers a beautiful tribute to family, storytelling and tradition. This collection moves from strength to strength with nary a weak link. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description Christmas Presence opens at #2 on the Catholic Bestseller List. This Christmas open your heart and your home to twelve of the finest contemporary spiritual authors and their insights into the true meaning of Christmas. In heartfelt stories from their own lives, they share the simple truth they have come to know about the greatest of all mysteries. Christmas Presence is a collection of twelve touching stories about gifts that were "more than they seemed." Each author recalls a special Christmas gift and how it evoked emotions and feelings that are both priceless and unforgettable. With a style that is warm and engaging the stories explore how the true spirit of Christmas--the presence of the divine in the world--can be experienced in the gifts we give and receive during the holiday season. This beautiful hardcover book makes a great present for friends, family, even yourself. Christmas Presence has been selected as the Featured Book for November 2002 by the Spiritual Book Associates.

From Library Journal In a deeply meditative and insightful book, Shea explores the central Christian celebration of the light in the darkness, of truth that cannot be destroyed, and of the union of knowledge, compassion, nature, and history found in the birth of Jesus. In the process, he cites many of the best spiritual writers, poets, and psychologists. This is a wise and beautiful book for both the beginner and the theologically knowledgable.

Paperback Paulist Press

Book Description We all cherish the stories of our growing up, our family events, our relationships with loved ones. These stories give us a sense of where we've been, and, most importantly, help us to determine where we are going. The Bible is just such a collection of stories - the lived experience of a people that informs the lives of people today. Biblical Meditations for the Easter Season focuses on the stories provided by the Church's cycle of readings for the seven weeks of the Easter season. The author provides a meditation that combines scriptural scholarship with insights from contemporary life. Readers who profited from Father Stuhlmueller's previous book, Biblical Meditations for Lent, will find in this current volume the same blend of solid Scripture study and sharing of the author's own prayer experience. As Most Rev. Charles Buswell, Bishop of Pueblo, notes in his introduction, "Many will be helped greatly to come to or advance in Christian maturity as they make use of Biblical Meditations for the Easter Season."

Hardcover Sorin Books

From AudioFile Drawn from 40 books written by Henri Nouwen, this is an inspiring collection of passages to be heard throughout the liturgical year. Nouwen was a profoundly inspiring writer who taught at Harvard, Yale, and Notre Dame. His editor and longtime friend, Ford, explains that the year's cycle of liturgical feasts--Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost--gave the author a framework for exploring how to know Jesus throughout the year. Listening to the inner substance of the church's rituals and customs offers guidance for handling life's ups-and-downs and for finding joy in one's daily existence. Paul Smith is a comforting and genuine interpreter. T.W. AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Hardcover Westminster John Knox Pr

From Library Journal This collection contains approximately 100 attempts to capture the meaning of Christmas in Scripture, theological writing, liturgy, literary prose, and poetry from Old Testament prophecy to the present. The early traditions show the most diversity, using not only scriptural sources but also pseudoepigrapha, Syrian, Chinese, and European material; the medieval tradition is represented by European and British material. With very few exceptions (e.g., Kierkegaard and a Mexican nun) later material is British and American. With brief, useful headnotes to the selections; recommended for public and seminary libraries.
