A Fragile Hope

Christian Living

“Charles Ringma’s beautiful and struggling reflections are a great source of encouragement for anyone seeking to build a hermitage of the heart in daily spirituality. Maturity and applicability in faith over the long haul is a hard-won and humbled thing. Glories shine and shadows loom together in this remarkably concrete and earthy book of spiritual reflections. For practical and inspired reflections on the difficult business of the ordinary Christian life, do read this book.”

Divine Presence

Theology

“This is a beautiful introduction to a Christian understanding of the most primary relation defining our experience of reality—that of the relation of God to humanity. . . . Highly recommended.”

Jacques Ellul

Theology

“This book is a triumph of beautifully sensitive synthetic analysis on one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. Highly recommended.”

The Fable of Joseph and Aséneth

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is an exquisitely beautiful story, told in spellbinding verse. The richness of its allegorical wisdom and the evocative imagery of its poetic landscape feed and delight the soul. Father Robert Nixon’s translation transmits this ancient tale from an exotic time and place into words and pictures in the mind that we can all appreciate. The translation is like a window—all you see is the beauty of the poem. A treasure!”

When All Else Fails

Christian Living

“As Charles Ringma points out, ‘Love needs its inner resources.’ These poems of wounded yet glorious hope are such a resource. Drink deeply from the tender and bracing waters of this restorative well and be humbled and refreshed.”
