In her distinctive style, Richardson invites us to perceive what makes its home here, too: the joy, solace, grace, and, most of all, the love that moves through it all, illuminating and transforming what seems most hidden or hopeless. “A blessing has the ability to enter into our pain,” Richardson writes in the opening pages, “not to dismiss or gloss over it but to name it, and to name also the love that connects us and holds us: the love that is continually working for our wholeheartedness.” These blessings welcome us wherever we are, offer us a space of healing for as long as we need, and call forth our courage, that our broken heart might become a path back into the world. Born of Richardson’s deep knowing of grief and love, these blessings are a luminous gift to savor and to share. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/8ef55150-7ba5-4225-aeff-d00def5f34de/9781514000489-us.jpg Spiritual Formation - Lent The Season of Repentance and Renewal "At a time when I felt adrift spiritually, Lent helped me be aware of the nearness of God. These outward practices took me on an inward journey further into the awareness of God. What follows then is an attempt to point out the things that I've seen along the way. It is not just an explanation of Lent but an invitation to experience it, a chance to meet our risen Lord who always runs just ahead of us, beckoning us forward." --Adapted from the introduction of Lent by Esau McCaulley "Esau McCaulley is a gift. He is the rare blend of a first-rate mind married to a huge heart for God and neighbor. This neighborliness comes out in two ways. As a public theologian writing for the New York Times and others, Esau shows his ability to provide clear thinking at the intersection of church and culture. In Lent: The Season of Repentance and Renewal, Esau shows his pastor's heart, his love for the church, and his passion to help Christians grow in faith. I commend Lent to everyone who is curious about, or committed to, the practice of Lent in their local church." -- Todd Hunter, Anglican bishop and author of Deep Peace: Finding Calm in a World of Conflict and Anxiety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/1d3a7864-54be-4366-9e0b-b230f47215a3/91JJlX3JuaL._AC_UF1000%2C1000_QL80_.jpg Spiritual Formation - Epiphany Fleming Rutledge is an Episcopal priest and a bestselling author. She was in full-time parish ministry for twenty-one years, fourteen of them at Grace Church in New York City. Her other books include Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ and The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ (winner of Christianity Today's 2017 Book of the Year Award). Credo Book Award Winner – Imagination, Beauty, and Liturgy The feast of Epiphany and its following season are not as well observed as they should be. Many of us associate Epiphany with the visit of the Magi but don't know much more about it. In this short volume, priest and theologian Fleming Rutledge expounds the primary biblical texts and narrative arc of the season, inviting us to discover anew "the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. "This book isn't just about Epiphany; it is filled with epiphanies. In the way only she can, Fleming Rutledge points us anew to the glory of Christ with insight after insight. Thanks to this book, even this low-church evangelical will mark Epiphany this year and, more importantly, will be reminded all year of the way God speaks to us in both the mysterious and the ordinary." Russell Moore, editor in chief of Christianity Today https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/1d38e5e2-1bbf-42a4-b048-8c61fca14741/71WYtFxWWdL._SL1500_.jpg Spiritual Formation - Grace (Eventually) Anne Lamott is the New York Times bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow; Small Victories; Stitches; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; Traveling Mercies; Bird by Bird; Operating Instructions, and the forthcoming Hallelujah Anyway. She is also the author of several novels, including Imperfect Birds and Rosie. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame, she lives in Northern California. In Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith, the author of the bestsellers Traveling Mercies and Plan B delivers a poignant, funny, and bittersweet primer of faith, as we come to discover what it means to be fully alive. "Anne Lamott is...a swearing spiritual pundit who prays for redemption but brags about her offenses. Lamott's latest tell-all is Grace (Eventually): Thoughts of Faith, a searching memoir full of...offbeat spiritual humor. What makes Lamott's writing powerful isn't her unconventional faith. Rather, it's the profound message about God's grace and redemption often lurking underneath all the...brutal honesty." -Chicago Sun-Times "Lamott's self-deprecating stories are refreshingly frank and endearingly fun." -Washington Post https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/978daca1-8828-487b-b8e1-9091f1f159c5/91hPlor7taL.jpg Spiritual Formation - The Church Of vs. Them We are living in angry times. No matter where we go, what we watch, or how we communicate, our culture is rife with conflict. Unfortunately, Christians appear to be caught up in the same animosity as the culture at large. We are perceived as angry, judgmental, and defensive, fighting among ourselves in various media while the world looks on. How have we failed to be a people of reconciliation and renewal in the face of such tumult? Claiming that the church has lost itself in the grip of an antagonistic culture, David Fitch takes a close look at what drives the vitriol in our congregations. He traces the enemy-making patterns in church history and diagnoses the divisiveness that marks the contemporary evangelical church. Fitch shows a way for the church to be true to itself, unwinding the antagonisms of our day and making space for Christ's reconciling presence in our day-to-day lives. He offers new patterns and practices that move the church beyond making enemies to being the presence of Christ in the world, helping us free ourselves from a faith that feeds on division. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/61e34a98-b043-4f68-9f7b-f8fb4294011d/A1hvoq5GxqL.jpg Spiritual Formation - Becoming Human This book reflects upon various dimensions and implications of the astounding fact that Christ shows us what it is to be God by the way he dies as a human being and, in so doing, simultaneously shows us what it is to be a human being. Connecting the end -"It is finished"- with the beginning - "Let us make a human being"- Fr John Behr challenges us to think again about who we are, as male and female, what we are called to become, and the relation between life and death in this journey. Presented in a poetic and meditative manner, adorned by images and offset quotations, this book inclines the reader towards a meditative reading, weighing, rather than skimming, each word and image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/106fab4b-376b-441f-8b75-617aa2fef133/Answering+God.jpg Spiritual Formation Eugene H. Peterson speaks to Christians who realize the necessity for prayer and yearn for it but who find their prayer unconvincing and unsatisfying. Addressing the causes of this dissatisfaction, Answering God offers guidelines for using the Psalms as dynamic tools for prayer.Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. "Thoroughly grounded theologically, in touch with the reality of life, and vigorous in its articulation." -Walter Bruggenman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/272a772f-14b9-40ec-9c7d-debafd2ab6e1/unnamed.jpg Spiritual Formation "This book has helped me--genuinely. James Smith has helped me think about the subject of time in a fresh way. I greatly enjoyed the distilled wisdom, the broad philosophical engagement, the connecting of Scripture, tradition, and culture. Truly this book is a gift which has engaged my awareness of how we are called to live the gifts which are our lives. My hope and prayer is that the impact of this book on how we live--on the times of our lives--will be exponentially more than the time it took to read it." --The Most Rev. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury "James K. A. Smith shows us that time is a gift waiting to be redeemed, and a central conviction of this book is that 'the Lord of the star fields' is intimately attuned to our haunted, beautiful histories. Dwelling with these lucid, winsome meditations on 'spiritual timekeeping' was like listening in on a lively conversation between St. Augustine, Gustavo Gutiérrez, James Baldwin, and Marilynne Robinson, while Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon played in the background." --Fred Bahnson, author of Soil and Sacrament https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/9cb36534-ef6d-4b7c-bb12-9d5f67d362de/63767220.jpg Spiritual Formation "Nobody can help you navigate a faith crisis with more candor, grace, and humor than Pete Enns, and you'll even learn amazing things about the Bible in the process. This book is a grand slam." — Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and Do I Stay Christian? "This is a road map for the deconstruction journey that we’ve all been waiting for. Curveball reminds readers that faith crises are not something to be feared but are opportunities for spiritual growth that can help you re-embrace God as more beautiful, loving, and mysterious." — Jonathan Merritt, contributing writer for The Atlantic and author of Learning to Speak God From Scratch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/4ca46e39-f99a-4e15-a13d-d88c12007160/81-jdeqSJkL.jpg Spiritual Formation Moore has brought together compelling selections from more than a hundred writers to call for the formation of a fellowship of disciples who will simply live as Jesus taught us to live. I strongly recommend this book for study, reflection, and prayerful living. —Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline There are no words more important than the Sermon on the Mount. And I can think of no better cloud of witnesses to reflect on those words than the people in this book. It is a gift to the world.—Shane Claiborne, author and activist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d2cd9959cc68940eaf41da/f7751d88-be6f-40f6-978b-5a1c4c022f42/the-sin-of-certainty.jpg Spiritual Formation “Seldom have I read a book that I so totally agree with! This is a very fine, very readable, often humorous, and much needed analysis of what Western Christianity is up against.”—Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upward “If you’re afraid that your theological questions and doubts disqualify you from being a person of faith, theologian Peter Enns has good news for you. Really good news.

Now she works as an editorial freelancer and pursues independent research on Christianity and the arts, with a special interest in visual art that engages with biblical narratives, especially from the twentieth century onward and/or from non-Western cultures. The mission of Art & Theology is to help the church rediscover its rich heritage in the visual, literary, and musical arts and to open it up to the activity of contemporary artists, whose giftings can enable us to see God in new and different ways. Art can enhance our spiritual perception, enrich our prayer lives, stimulate renewed engagement with the Bible, make us more empathetic, challenge our beliefs in a healthy way, and bring us into more intimate contact with the world.
