Spiritual Arts : Mastering The Disciplines For A Rich Spiritual Life
$18.99
There are martial arts, culinary arts, fine arts-and spiritual arts. “Spiritual art is the Holy Spirit’s work in your life in character, gift, and blessing,” writes Jill Briscoe. Spiritual intimacy, spiritual harmony, humility, serenity … like any art, these can be learned and developed through consistent practice. And also as with any art, there is a transcendent element to them that makes them personal, powerful, able to transform your life and other lives through you.
In The Spiritual Arts, Briscoe shows how you can develop skill in such key arts as contentment, intimacy, simplicity, ministry, practicality, and more. Some will come more naturally to you than others, but all of them are important and all of them can be developed with prayer and patience. Weaving together in dynamic counterpoint, they will help you experience and express God’s presence in your life more fully and deeply.
Includes group discussion questions and personal applications.

Great Divorce
$17.99Add to cartC.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

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.
