Prayers for the Pilgrimage

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Prayers for the Pilgrimage is a thoughtful and delightful pairing of perceptive petitions and sensitive paintings, designed to tune the mind and heart to whispers of the eternal hidden in the everyday.”

The Mission of the Body of Christ

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“The best gift (among many) that Russ Ramsey offers the body of Christ is the gift of greater context. His writings have the power to lift readers from their present surroundings and set them down amid the clamoring, bustling, peopled streets of the ancient world. Ramsey's deep biblical knowledge and disciplined imagination serve to gently illuminate oft-overlooked nuances of culture, custom, and language, thereby allowing readers to experience these old stories as if for the first time.”

Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart

Arts & Literature

“You approach Russ Ramsey’s writings expecting to learn about art and artists, only to realize he has flung open a window to your own deepest griefs, hopes, and longings. Ramsey’s essays are highly entertaining and informative, yes, but in the end they reveal themselves as hospitable invitations to get to the transcendent heart of things.”
