Psalms For Sojourners
$18.00
“The Psalms address the days of our lives, in times of hurting as well as happiness, helping us to learn how to pray and also how to praise,” says James Limburg. Newly updated, his little classic invites Christians into the spiritual depths of the Bible’s prayerbook. With examples of each type of Psalm–psalms of lament, trust, pilgrimage, hymns, and creation–and with engaging stories from his own experience, Limburg acquaints the reader with “the strength, the passion, and the fire” of this ancient hymnbook and its relevance to our daily lives. Joining Christians of twenty centuries, Limburg invites and incites fellow sojourners to a deeper encounter with the Psalms and with God.

7 Last Words
$18.99Add to cartBased on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.

Problem Of Pain
