  Pilgrim You Find The Path By Walking

  $21.00

  Sonnets are familiar to us, but not relevant. What do they have to do with our fast-paced, tech-driven, ever-shrinking contemporary world? But what if the sonnet–invented 700 years ago–could come back like a cat with nine lives? A sonnet in the twenty-first century might serve as a sacramental form, calling us from our work-mad lives to quietness and reflection.

  In Pilgrim, You Find the Path by Walking, Jeanne Murray Walker invites the reader to join her on a journey told in 58 colloquial sonnets, beginning in the slangy streets of New York and ending in the holiness of silence and praise. Stops on the journey include reflections on death and grief, but also praise for a migrating butterfly, a knock on the door, the astonishing ocean. This book is designed to be used as a devotional and read slowly; to be both a book of poetry and a spiritual companion.

  New Tracks Night Falling

  $23.99

  An award-winning poet, Walker reminds us that we are a people driven and divided by fear—and brought together by hope! Expectantly, she writes of sparrows, shadows, and sounds; racism and war; headlights and a leaf. Her lyrical, intelligent verse explores the depths of our sorrow and solitude, of our bottomless greed—and boundless grace. 80 pages, softcover from Eerdmans.
