“Carl McColman offers an inspiring introduction to a broad range of 108 Western Christian mystics, helpfully divided into nine different kinds of mystics. The book is written in lucid, nonacademic language that allows it to be accessible to a wide range of people.”
Invitation to Solitude and Silence
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Ruth Haley Barton has gifted us with a vital way to deeper intimacy with God and our own true self in God through the neglected disciplines of solitude and silence. Along with her own honest biographical witness, she offers us a variety of concrete practices that can help the reader enter solitude and silence with greater ease and understanding of the ways God is present for us in such times, often in the face of our resistances. What she has given us can contribute significantly to a more mature and full spiritual life. She convincingly shows us the vital spiritual importance of an intentional rhythm of work and rest, solitude and community, silence and word.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“[Keller] offers fresh, valuable insights into Jesus' prayer and actions in the context of first-century Jewish understanding. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to steep their minds and hearts in the full range of Jesus' life of prayer, and his invitation for us to share his direct availability to God's living Spirit.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This is a mature, practical, and inspiring expression of the promise of contemplatively oriented spiritual life, practices and community for ordinary people who seek to be vulnerably grounded every day in the interior loving and guiding presence of God, as they cope and care for life within our frenetic culture that is so full of false promises.”
Soul Support: Spiritual Encounters at Life’s End
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Maxwell's many riveting and poignant stories of encounters with a broad range of seriously ill and dying people are a great gift. The stories reveal the amazing fruit born of her sustained desire to be present, soul to soul, with each very different person, as she opens to the promptings of the loving Mystery who she deeply trusts is always present. . . . I expect you will find it both a valuable education and a personal blessing.”

“Tears are a little-known subject spiritually to most people, and Maggie Ross is very helpful in giving us both a historical grounding and a contemporary personal relevance for it.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Beth and David Booram bring us the fruit of their mature life and spiritual experience in helping the reader to recognize, reflect on, and respond to God's loving and guiding presence in their lives. The many examples of how this shows itself in people's lives who come to them for spiritual direction provide much concrete help in understanding how God's presence uniquely shows itself in our experience, even in times when that presence feels totally absent. The authors also offer fresh interpretations of many scriptural passages where people speak of their transcendent experiences. . . . The lucid, personal, and honest writing style of the authors contributes a lot to the book's readability. I think it is a valuable complement to other contemporary books about the spiritual journey and the ministry of spiritual direction.”
