Charles Of The Desert
$21.00Charles of the Desert is a novel-in-verse accompanying Charles de Foucauld, hermit and writer of “The Prayer of Abandonment,” as he explores and adapts desert spirituality, monasticism, and contemplative prayer. Charles is an unusual and compelling figure and Charles of the Desert is unusual and compelling as well — different from nonfiction books which focus on instructing in or explaining these subjects. It also explores Charles’ profound respect for Muslims, his pioneering efforts at interfaith dialogue, and his commitment to live among Muslims as a “universal brother” known for his compassion and solidarity.
Born in 1858 to a family of French aristocrats, Charles was torn between his ambition to do great things and his desire for the hidden life, between public service and private prayer. Charles of the Desert uses elements of fiction and poetry to follow him to Morocco, Syria, Israel, and Algeria, as he becomes a cavalry officer, explorer, geographer, pilgrim, Trappist monk, priest, abolitionist, translator, folklorist, hermit, fort-builder, and martyr. Throughout these travels and transformations, Charles searched for a vocation that would reflect his convictions and his experience of God. In his last fifteen years, he settled in a remote part of the Sahara, and focused on self-denial, contemplation, and charity. He claimed the nomadic Tuareg as his brothers, the desert as his earthly home.

I Pray In Poems
$21.95Ideal gift book
* Field-tested as a small group study resource; useful in small groups and for individual devotionI pray in poems explores the intersection of great works of poetry and faith, offering meditations on what these works illustrate about Christian living. Readers will encounter authors as diverse as William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Rumi, Mary Oliver, and Anna Kamienska. Each poem is followed by an analytical reflection that explores the work and places it within the context of one or more biblical passages. These meditations will assist the reader in understanding and appreciating the poetry, and will also offer insightful, perhaps even inspiring, thoughts on what it means to live a life in faith.
The book is designed to engage all Christians (especially those who don’t think they like poetry), and to challenge anyone who thinks the arts are of little significance to religious life. The study of poetry, its rich language and evocative imagery, deepens an understanding of our spiritual lives and our relationships with God and each other.
I pray in poems contains 20 meditations, organized around the liturgical seasons, and can serve as facilitation for personal devotion or as a resource for small group discussions.
For individuals, gift purchase, small groups.

For Better Or For Verse
$9.95So tiny and helpless, so sweet and so mild,
so dependent and loving-this beautiful child.
A gem, a jewel, a precious pearl-
such a wonderful gift, this little girl.
I can reduce any man to a weeping pile,
but all it takes is that little smile,
and now I’m mush …-Tom Gusky
Tom Gusky does not believe in fifty dollar words or mysterious hidden messages in his poetry. Instead, he prefers to share a tender and sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrical view of life that reflects on the bonds of family love, the trials and joys of raising children, and the experiences that draw all of us closer to God.
Tom injects humor and emotion in poems for the masses that reflect on his observations about the pilot of his family’s ship as well as an angel in diapers, the face of God, the cycle of life, and the journey of a man as he ages. Throughout each verse, Tom offers gentle reminders about the important things in life: faith, family, and unconditional love.
For Better or for Verse shares a collection of thought-provoking poetry as one man looks back on all the joys and sorrows of a life well lived.

Message Maker : Words From A World Away
$14.99Author Leta Rae Pereira is just an ordinary person who never envisioned writing any book of poetry, let alone one where verse after verse flowed freely from her. Even so, this was part of God’s plan and purpose for her all along. The Message Maker presents a collection of her inspiring poems, written to touch and minister to many hungry hearts. Some of her poems, such as The Eleventh Hour relate to events that have touched her life; others consider God’s love and Scriptures and their effect on His children. In the poem Inside Out we learn that when we forget about ourselves and minister to others, the door opens for Jesus to come in and minister to us. Her first poem, Come . . . Follow Me opened the gateway for all of the poems that followed. Each poem has been written with love and spirituality, and each has deeply touched her own prayer life. Now she shares them, seeking to guide you on your own journey and bring you the knowledge of God’s immense love for you.

Prayers Of A Young Poet
$21.00This volume marks the first translation of these prayer-poems into English. Originally written in 1899, Rilke wrote them upon returning to Germany from his first trip to Russia. He intended these poems as icons of sorts, gestures that could illumine a way for seekers in the darkness. As Rilke here writes, “I love the dark hours of my being, for they deepen my senses.”

Wild Things : Poems Of Grief And Love Loss And Gratitude
$13.99How does a person tolerate the intolerable, bear the unbearable? For Roberta Bondi, a more specific question arose. “How will I continue my life when my mother is not in it?” As Bondi put pen to paper, she gave voice to her grief – and created a resource for others who grieve. She articulates her pain so others can know that they are not crazy in their emotions, that they can live beyond the grief and pain and find a measure of comfort. Bondi loses a physical presence but comes to find her mother’s presence in new ways in her life. Just as the “light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it” (John 1:5), Bondi shines a light on the dark face of grief, reminding us of God’s enduring love.

Love Nature Faith And Cowboys
$15.49Love. Nature. Faith. Cowboys. Subjects of inspiration and wonder. Much could be said on any one of them: how they make us feel, how they change our perceptions of our world and of ourselves, how they fill us with hopes and dreams, and how our world is better for us having experienced them. Yes, even the cowboys.
Normally, an author would focus on a single topic, in the hopes of conveying a message. But, in love, nature, faith…and cowboys, Stephen M. Nichols shares four themes which, though disparate, lend themselves to his unique brand of poetry. Together, they share some common elements of interest and involvement to which most readers can relate.
You are invited to peruse the poetic thoughts and musing of Stephen M Nichols. May you be inspired, reminded of wonder, provoked to thought, and be moved by the emotions contained within his words.

Glimpse Into My Life Through Prose And Poetry
$14.49During my first years of school, I caught pure hell. I was bullied each and every day. Kids would attack me with “O dumb fly”; I would be standing, talking to some one and another person would pretend to smell me, then say ” he’s ate some shit because he stinks”! Then they would all run away from me. Just try to feel what I felt as a kid. Besides that, my cloths were tattered, faded and dyed. Same colored shirts and pants, but mine came from “GoodWill” and was either patched, sewed or faded. Coats had holes. Mama could only buy one pair of shoes for me/ no two, because I did have a dressed pair to wear to church, but my every day shoes were brogans. Brogans were black boots that had big steel taps on the front and the back of the soles. One could literally hear me coming from a block away.
I had a fight of some sort almost every day. Incidentally, my Mama enrolled me into Catholic School. (Light blue shirts dark blue pants and ties.). Had I been going to school in this day and time, I would have been a fashion statement.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Idiot Psalms : New Poems
$21.00A new collection from one of our favorite poets. Fourteen “Idiot Psalms,” surrounded by dozens of other poems, make this his most challenging collection yet.
“Idiot Psalm 1”
O God Beloved if obliquely so,
dimly apprehended in the midst
of this, the fraught obscuring fog
of my insufficiently capacious ken,
Ostensible Lover of our kind–while
apparently aloof–allow
that I might glimpse once more
Your shadow in the land, avail
for me, a second time, the sense
of dire Presence in the pulsing
hollow near the heart.
Once more, O Lord, from Your Enormity incline
your Face to shine upon Your servant, shy
of immolation, if You will.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

What Cannot Be Fixed
$16.00What Cannot Be Fixed is anchored in the terrain of the broken world: the old Adam, the prodigal son, loneliness, exile, and Christ’s cries of abandonment on the cross. There is much that cannot be fixed, but in the midst of the loss are the flashes and glimmers of promise, of Advent, of reunion, the empty tomb, and grace. Words uncurl in Eve’s throat, the conductor raises his baton in that split second before the music begins, the blind see, the atheist heart patient hears God in the music of the recovery room. God is there, his shape sometimes difficult to discern, his words often whispers amidst the daily-ness of life. This collection of poems is about living the paradox: simul justus et peccator-the believer is both justified and a sinner. It is true that much of what we see and live cannot be fixed. And it is also true that the potter reworks the broken pot.

2nd Sky Poems
$14.00In Second Sky, Runyan intertwines the life and writings of the Apostle Paul with the spiritual journey of a modern suburban woman confronting the broken world. Second Sky wrestles with the deeply personal challenges presented in Paul’s letters and experiences: putting on the new self, burying oneself with Christ, and counting all as loss while driving through snowstorms, reading horrific headlines, and bathing the family dog. These are not simple poems of religious inspiration; they are steely encounters with the living God. Runyan invites us to work out our salvation in rusted Cadillacs, operating rooms, and packs of wild coyotes. Meanwhile, Paul runs from the collapsing walls of his prison cell toward shipwrecks and vipers, meeting us on our own roads to Damascus, the earth breaking open to a second sky of faith.

Like the magi who travelled a long distance to search out and adore the infant Jesus, and who took some wrong turnings on the way, we too have a journey to undertake.

Sorry For Your Troubles
$17.99One of the most engaging voices contemporary spirituality in is that of the Irish poet, Padraig OTuama. This second poetry collection arises out of a decade of his hearing stories of people who have lived through personal and political conflict in Northern Ireland, the Middle East and other places of conflict. These poems tell stories of individuals who have lived through conflict: their loves and losses, their hope and generosity. One poem, Shaking hands was written when Padraig witnessed the historic handshake between Queen Elizabeth II and Martin McGuinness, who has since used the poem publicly. The phrase Sorry for your troubles is used all over Ireland. It comes directly from an Irish phrase, yet Irish has no word for bereavement – the word used is troibloid. So the phrase would be better translated Sorry for your bereavements. With this in mind, this new book speaks evocatively about a time when thousands of people lost their lives and many thousands more lived through the searing pain of grief.

Within This Tree Of Bones New And Selected Poems
$24.00Written over five decades, these poems begin fixed in the human condition, our common experience of an imperfect world. Slowly, under the aegis of the Spirit, they move toward a brighter vision of things: they ask us to ”dream in that fecund darkness until all shapes are shining.” Poetry offers us an experience of union with the alarming and enthralling world we live in, as well as glimpses of what transcends it and is beyond language. It reminds us that all is connected and supports the hope that light will triumph. The author trusts that these poems may do the same as they explore the chain of being from animal to human, from serpent to angel–and that joy is the final dominant note.

Imago Dei : Poems From Christianity And Literature
$17.99Imago Dei brings together a collection of poets who merge faith, literature, and art as a form of worship and inspiration.
An anthology of the best poems published in the journal Christianity and Literature over the past sixty years, Imago Dei brings together in one volume poetry which exemplifies the richness and variety of the art. These poems find beauty in the concrete and particular, but they also ask the big questions: Why do we exist? Who is God? Where do we find God? What does the Incarnation mean? When does God speak to us, and why is God silent?
These poets all have in common an awareness of human experience as part of a grand narrative, of the Imago Dei embedded in human nature, and of the sense of connection to something much larger than themselves. These are poems written from within a theological tradition, though they are not necessarily traditional in form or expression. They upset the usual in their originality; they are Worded words, connected to our earthly life but pointed toward the Kingdom of God; they are redemptive words made flesh.
Included in the over one hundred poets represented here are Wendell Berry, Mark Jarmon, Jeanne Murray Walker, Dana Gioa, Martha Serpas, Luci Shaw, and Robert Siegel. All of the poets in this collection grapple with what Imago Dei means for them as readers, writers, artists, teachers, and students.

Blessed By The Best
$10.99The poetic verses in this book express some of my beliefs on how faith in God can turn things around when dealing with life’s ups and downs. I have shared these verses with many in the course of my duties as a spiritual counselor. I use many of them on a daily basis to remind people about the power of God and his word. Although they are original verses, they are spiritually inclined, inspired by the Bible. They are designed to provide courage and strength as we encounter life’s trial and tribulations. This book is the result of the encouragement and inspiration he has received to publish his works.
