Coming Home to Your True Self

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Albert Haase has captured the simple essence of the spiritual life in this readable treatment that flows easily from Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. Illustrating his points with lively personal stories, Fr. Haase illuminates such classical spiritual terms as detachment, discernment and penance, making them live for the modern reader. He draws deeply on the teaching of Jesus and shows us how to 'come home' to our true selves. A fine guidebook for those who long for a deeper relationship with the Lord.”

Deep-Rooted in Christ

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Western readers will be blessed by this book. The thought and writing are simple and fresh. Pastor Joshua Choonmin Kang brings his own insight and gentle spirit to Christian life. His work will regenerate and enliven us as he teaches us how to become 'deep people.'”

Gospel Midrashim

Arts & Literature

“Bazyn's knowledge of ancient wisdom, the Greek and Roman classics, and more, is joined with a personal love of Jesus as Savior and Lord. These poems reflect a lifetime of learning and simple, passionate devotion.”

Invitation to Retreat

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“A wise new guide to retreat, dealing not just with practical questions on how but the even more significant why. Ruth Haley Barton reminds us we need to pause, rest, relent, and let God take charge. She mentions many guides and wisdom figures, but the best is God's Spirit working in us when we let go. I was struck by her final chapter about coming back from retreat strengthened to bless others who need our counsel. Invitation to Retreat is powerful.”

Living the Christian Year

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Bobby Gross has written a jewel of a book about the depth and riches of observing the Christian year. Christians in nonliturgical settings will be touched by his understanding, not to mention those who are already living the Christian feasts and seasons in liturgical churches. They, too, will gain insight to match their customary practice. This is a book to dip into and enjoy.”

Remembering Jesus

Arts & Literature

“Touching. John Leax invites us to know Jesus deeply by telling his story again in new ways, new words, flashes of heartbreaking beauty. Some phrases are etched in memory: 'Where the deep water darkens Galilee.' Remembering Jesus is a work to savor and cherish, a treasure-box of insight, wonder, and devotion.”

Room of Marvels

Fiction

“Takes us on a marvelous Christian journey, freighted with broad humor and biblical wisdom. This book helps me to remember that the spiritual realm is more real than any other.”

Spirituality of Gratitude

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Pastor Joshua Choonmin Kang's slender book is a powerful invitation to wonder, beauty and the mysterious grace of God. Through brokenness we know gratitude. Through our wounds we experience Christ's love and healing power. How do we practice such gratitude? What pries away our armor of self-seeking and lets us be clothed in the Lord's beauty and power? Pastor Kang's lovely wisdom opens us to God's full weight and glory. He invites us to be thankful for a deeply transforming love.”

The Fire of the Word

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Chris Webb is a man of prayer, action and commitment, fueled always by his love of God. His warm, welcoming new text captures the high beauty of his Colorado dwelling place with his simple dwelling in Christ. Evoking world images from the green spaces of his own Welsh homeland to the dry wilderness of Jesus's own journey, he pours out his love of all Christ's people on the planet, teaching and encouraging us all the while. Here is a new, engaging master of the spiritual life.”

This Sacred Moment

Christian Living

“Good teachers of the spiritual life—who open up the gospel so that we can live it ourselves—are rare. Father Albert Haase is one of these wise people. He joins biblical wisdom with centuries of lived experience. In This Sacred Moment he focuses on the inward deepening that shows itself in a generous outward life. And blesses us.”
