“The pattern of Scripture, reflection, invitation to meditation in preparation for the liturgical celebration of a feast of Mary is once again the power of Father Mark's book on Mary. Even as a Protestant pastor I can find this book useful for prayer and liturgy and worship. The additional resources and appendices add to the depth of this book and so I highly recommend this book.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Boyer’s approach to scripture is refreshing in the sense that he invites us to reflect on the text of scripture at a deeper level of our spirituality. He gives insight into the biblical text and then invites us into a contemplative, reflective place to discover the deeper spiritual level of the text. Helpful for small groups and individual reflection.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Pauline scholarship has evolved adding new insights into Paul’s writings. Boyer’s book adds to the evolving scholarship allowing time for the reader to meditate and journal as they ‘eavesdrop’ into the letters of Paul.”
Fiction
“In Latin anima means ‘breath’ or ‘soul,’ and animalis, the adjective that comes from it, means ‘having breath or soul.’ Shelbydog was an animal, but in these chronicles, we come to know her as a true spirit being with a soul that touched many. Anyone who has had such an animal in their life will be touched by these stories. ‘Ask the beasts’ we are told in the Book of Job, ‘and they will teach you who God is’ (Job 12:7). Shelbydog taught Mark and many others about God.”
From Biblical Animals to Family Pets
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Boyer expands the notion of biblical spirituality to include the often forgotten or overlooked animals who are equally a part of God’s creation. The pattern of Scripture, reflection, and journaling makes for a great companion in each of our spiritual journeys. I highly recommend this book.”
Christian Living
“I have always found Boyer's books honest, straightforward, and rooted in Scripture, and this book does not disappoint. As the Introduction says, the book presumes that the reader already has a "favored companion on the journey," but even if the reader does not have such a friend, this book will help guide them to find wholeness and transcendence in their friendships.”
Praying Your Way through Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Moving from scripture to reflection to meditation and finally to prayer, Mark Boyer once again show his expertise not only with the Biblical text but also with his focus on spirituality and prayer. . . . I recommend this book for the way it will draw the reader deeper into the prayer of Jesus and the prayer of the early followers of Jesus.”
Smothered with Inexhaustible Mercy
Arts & Literature
“Having read Mark Boyer’s books and poetry over the years, this book of poetry is a metaphoric pilgrimage of Mark’s life, and we are privileged to journey with him on his pilgrimage of life. We are also invited to stop as he stopped to reflect on our own lives and discover just how risky our lives are. I would recommend a slow reading because each poem stands on their own and can be savored for their insight and wisdom.”
Christian Living
“Focusing on the psychological and spiritual tasks of taking leave of one's home, Boyer's latest book once again fills a niche of prayer and reflection. He provides prayers and rituals that will help individuals, families, and communities bring closure to traumatic and difficult moments we all face. I highly recommend this book and will make good use of it myself.”
History & Biography
“Boyer’s compelling narrative invites us to remember our own family members and how those memories might help us understand the way our own world works. Kudos, Mark, for pulling back the curtains of Brown Hollow!”
The Roman Catholic Lectionary and the Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Nearly sixty-one years after the liturgical renewal began, we now have a book that is honest about the Bible and how it is used in liturgy. As a preacher and teacher, I have struggled to connect biblical texts to their liturgical use, and so this book makes a significant contribution to making full use of the Bible in the church, both in liturgy and continuing Bible studies in parishes.”
