History & Biography
“What I like most about Another Way is the author's ability to see his past clearly, express/confess where he stands today, and explain that every spiritual journey is part of God's mystery, beyond our understanding. Kevin Brown gets it.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“I used to carry around Evelyn Underhill's classic, Mysticism. My copy of Bernard McGinn's anthology is marked on every page. But now, Carl McColman's Christian Mystics will be my go-to guide.”
From Gratitude to Blessings and Back
World Religions
“I’ve been learning from Jewish blessings for twenty years. They expand my practice of prayer into a daily posture of thanksgiving, wonder, and praise. The personal, interactive approach of Price and Teutsch open this tradition up as none have before.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This book helped me feel the difference between the din and the hum of the world. With its help, I'm learning to quiet the one and embrace the other.”
Arts & Literature
“Mosley understands both the human heart and the Christian mysteries. My favorite poems are in the sequence of the ‘Stations of the Cross’—he speaks to Christ, recounts what happened, asks questions, and stands in awe. This is a powerful, wrestling faith.”
“Caryn Rivadeneira finds holiness in wild and domesticated creatures. There are cuddly pets here, but there are coyotes, hedgehogs, and snakes as well. This is an honest God-experience. We feel stroked or companioned at times, but frightened and mystified just as often.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“On every page Wiens reveals where to find God. It isn't easy. It's really simple. Exactly.”
Christian Living
“Smith and Pattison marshal the wisdom of our greatest cultural thinkers—people like Berry, Heschel, Pollan and Vanier—in this tour-de-force manifesto. This smart book reveals the vacuity of fast church and realigns us with the locality, rest, unpredictability and simple delight that comes with the way of Jesus.”
The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“McColman’s book is wise and wonderful, deceptively simple! Are you interested in having a relationship with something that’s ultimately unknowable? Me too. It’s not easy, but dig in, here!”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The climatological and geological metaphors in this book were powerful for me. Chasms, fire, still water, wildness--all plunged me more deeply into confronting myself and God in those places I don't often confront or talk about. I was blessed by the dangerous adventure of The Wild Land Within.”
Arts & Literature
“This collection had me at the start with ‘the monk who wrote himself to death,’ which could be the drumbeat for anyone on a spiritual journey. One suspects there is a great deal of the poet in these poems, but then I’m not sure, since I find much of myself in them as well. Highly recommended.”
