A Fragile Hope

Christian Living

“Drawing from traditions as diverse as Sabbath, the Desert Fathers, and Mothers and the Franciscan way, Charles Ringma reminds us that ‘the hermitage of the heart’ is always accessible to those who seek deeper union with God. These different traditions are challenging and respectful of the individual, as well as safe both for beginners and those on the long journey of ‘Christing’! Charles’s thoughtful writing reflects his own long, open-hearted journey and gentle soul.”

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“The early fathers and mothers of the Church have provided us with a well of wisdom that was fed by their openness to God, so much so that their words flowing from that relationship have almost the quality of scripture about them. Charles has lowered his bucket and raised up a gift, brimming full of the grace of God. It is such a treasure to have so much of the original texts accompanied by very brief reflections that invite us to do our own work of opening ourselves to the truth and wisdom of God.”
