“A great gift of a distillation of 108 wise and worthy guides on the mystical way, each entry offering a spark for further exploration.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I so love this book! Richard Bruxvoort Colligan's voice is full of humor, depth, and transparency. With great wisdom and passion, he excavates what the Psalms offer to us for an unfolding life that includes danger and desolation as much as joy and jubilation. Highly recommended for a rich spiritual encounter.”
Christian Living
“Tara Owens offers us a wise and tender exploration of the gifts our bodies offer to us as portals into God's grace and wisdom. This book is much needed and should be required reading in every church's adult faith formation program. Tara doesn't just invite us to read, but to ponder, to engage and to practice so that we might claim the truth of the incarnation in new ways.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Carl McColman offers us another gift of contemplative insight and illumination. Eternal Heart invites the reader into various themes of the mystical life, deepening each one with wisdom from mystics of various traditions to reveal the way to oneness as one of unity rather than division. He encourages us to embrace in our own lives this mystical gift and vision for which our world is so hungry, and he charts the way through accessible practices. Reading it left my heart kindled by both joy and possibility.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Kreg Yingst is an artist of great craft and soulfulness. His images are windows into the holy. This book of reflections is such a gift. The sheer breadth of mystics included is marvelous. The written invitations to companion his icons are a call to sit and be with the wisdom offered and let them transform you. Highly recommended!”

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Red is a story many of us who love dogs will deeply relate to and find inspiration in. Ed Sellner explores the beautiful geography of our intimacy with companion animals and the graces they offer to us with loving attention. Read this book to fall even more in love with the gifts animals can bring to our lives.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Carl McColman writes from a heart transformed by mystical love and invites the reader onto a powerful journey of seeing Scripture in new ways. What a gift this book is, to help save the ancient texts sacred to Christian and Jewish traditions from fundamentalist agendas, and to invite us into ways of reading that are spacious, imaginative, full of mystery and wonder, and overflowing with deepened love and transformation. Carl gives his readers a generous map to the heart of wisdom through imaginative encounters with the sacred texts. Highly recommended reading for all contemplatives.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation

The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Carl McColman’s wise and clear writing takes us on a wide journey through both classical and contemporary mystic guides. Ultimately he invites us to catch a glimpse of the heart of Mystery through concrete suggestions for mystical practice and be transformed ourselves.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The desert mothers and fathers offer spiritual wisdom that every contemplative should read and ponder. Lisa Colón DeLay offers us a lively and thoughtful guide to several of these ancient mystics through the lens of the seven deadly sins. Colón DeLay invites the reader to identify these universal human patterns within ourselves. She then offers rich practices that are antidotes to open the door to genuine transformation. Highly recommended for serious spiritual seekers.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“From shimmering moments to synchronicities to following the threads of our lives, Beth Booram and David Booram have written a truly lovely guide to paying attention to those moments of the divine breaking into ordinary moments. This book sparkles with possibility and gives language and practices to help us recognize and savor those moments.”
Arts & Literature
“Klein's first collection of poems is a glorious hymn of praise, inviting us into intimacy with things both known and unknown, earthy and sublime. Her language lifts you from the page into a poetic reverie and deeper reverence for life.”
