A Handful of Prayers

Arts & Literature

“In these pages is a remarkable care of language and a rich generosity of spirit. Anyone who reads them will, I am sure, be wonderfully refreshed.”

Cup My Days Like Water

Arts & Literature

“This glowing volume beams with the ancient spirit of the Psalms—rebuking us with its truth and restoring us with its beauty. In that holy work, Abigail Carroll shines. Her eye is keen, her language is alive, and her sensitivity to the rich goodness of creation inspires us to see deeply and live with intention. A remarkable contribution to Christian poetry.”

Earth Filled with Heaven

Preaching & Worship

“The greatest promise of the Christian faith is not that we shall go to heaven, but that heaven is present here. In the raw, lovely stuff of which our world is made—water and oil, bread and wine, word and voice—God works and delights. No matter your tradition, your theology, or your tough questions, you'll find rich and honest hope in the promise of this book. Return here to our faith's deepest and most timely heritage—and rejoice.”

Looking Up

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“'My heart in hiding / Stirred for a bird,' Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote, and that stirring is felt on each page of Courtney Ellis's deeply felt exploration of grief. This is a beautiful and honest guide with which to watch for appearances of genuine hope in our own hiding hearts.”

Para subir hay que bajar

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Es un regalo poco común y sagrado que una autora nos sirva su corazón crudo—tierno y salado con lágrimas—para la nutrición del mundo. Para subir hay que bajar es un acto profundo de servicio cristocéntrico. Honesto, conmovedor y lírico, este es un libro que te muestra lo que dice. Es inolvidable, incisivo y de gran necesidad. Gracias, Marlena, por compartir tu regalo precioso—tu historia, tu deseo por un camino mejor. Estoy inspirado.”

Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart

Arts & Literature

“The large questions of art are the large questions of life. Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart will help you unlock the inner secret that all great art holds—that in the end we are all working to make peace with suffering. Russ Ramsey has presented us with a rare gift—a careful and tender book that boldly guides us to the spiritual core of some of our culture’s great treasures and, through them, to a better knowledge of our own ever-breaking hearts.”
