  Living In Wonder

  $29.99

  The West has become “disenchanted”–closed to the idea that the universe contains the supernatural, the metaphysical, or the non-material. Christianity is in crisis. People today are leaving the Church because faith has become dry and lifeless. But people aren’t leaving faith for atheism. They are still searching for the divine, and it might just be right under their noses.

  In Living in Wonder, thought leader, cultural critic, and New York Times bestselling author Rod Dreher shows you how to encounter and embrace wonder in the world. In his trademark mixture of analysis, reporting, and personal story, Dreher brings together history, cultural anthropology, neuroscience, and the ancient Church to show you–no matter your religious affiliation–how to reconnect with the natural world and the Great Tradition of Christianity so you can relate to the world with more depth and connection.

  He shares stories of miracles, rumors of angels, and outbreaks of awe to offer hope, as well as a guide for discerning and defending the truth in a confusing and spiritually dark culture, full of contemporary spiritual deceptions and tempting counterfeit spiritualities.

  The world is not what we think it is. It is far more mysterious, exciting, connected, and adventurous. As you learn practical ways to regain a sense of wonder and awaken your sense of God’s presence–through prayer, attention, and living by spiritual disciplines–your eyes will be opened, and you will find the very thing every one of us searches for: our ultimate meaning.

  Plough Quarterly Number 11 Alien Citizens The Politics Of The Kingdom Of Go

  $10.00

  The gospel teaches that every human is sacred. Refugee children and Islamist terrorists. Police officers and young African Americans. Unborn babies, always, and also abortionists. Orange-haired casino owners, former First Ladies, progressive hipsters, prosperity-gospel televangelists, members of Congress, Confederate-flag-waving white nationalists? Sacred. This absurd claim is at the heart of the gospel. Each person is created in the image and likeness of God. Each is someone for whom Jesus died. And if this is true, we have much work to do. The writers in this issue may not agree on the best ways and means, but each challenges us to consider the implications of this gospel of life that makes no exceptions.

  Also in this issue:
  — A former asylum seeker returns to Iraq to stand with Christians on the run from ISIS.
  — Shane Claiborne tells us why abolishing the death penalty is the church s business.
  — Joel Salatin, America s most famous farmer, reveals what pigs can teach us about the glory of God.
  — John Dear reports on the Vatican s historic turn toward nonviolence.
  — Erna Albertz tells Richard Dawkins how her sister with Down syndrome can help him.
  — Gun owners respond to gun violence with a fresh take on swords into plowshares.
  — Ron Sider looks at the consistently pro-life witness of the early church.
  — A hospice nurse reflects on euthanasia and the value of being a burden.
  — Jason Landsel asks what made MohammadMuhammad Ali great.

  Then there s new poetry, book reviews, a children s story, insights from Pope Francis and George MacDonald, and art by Pawel Kuczynski, Xenia Hausner, William H. Johnson, Kathe Kollwitz, and Deidre Scherer.
  Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus message into practice and find common cause with others.
