Synopsis

The Cloud of Unknowing is a seminal work of mystical theology composed in the late 14th century, presenting a unique blend of contemplative prayer and traditional Christian thought. Written in Middle English, the text employs a distinctive epistolary style, addressing a spiritual seeker on the path to divine union. The author emphasizes the limitations of human knowledge when approaching God, advocating for a form of prayer that transcends intellectual understanding, encapsulated in the metaphorical 'cloud' that obscures divine truths. This work is part of the broader mystic tradition, resonating with the themes of unknowing and divine love found in the writings of figures like Julian of Norwich and Meister Eckhart. The anonymity of the author adds an aura of universality to this mystical classic, suggesting that the journey toward God is deeply personal yet shared among believers. Often interpreted as a response to the burgeoning interest in mysticism during the medieval period, the author's insights reflect both personal spiritual experiences and the larger cultural context of contemplative practices emerging within Christianity at the time. For those seeking a profound exploration of spirituality that transcends dogma, The Cloud of Unknowing is an essential read. Its meditative guidance and rich theological insights offer timeless wisdom for contemporary seekers, encouraging readers to embrace the mystery of faith and the transformative power of unknowing.

    The Memoirs of Blessed Ramon...

    Blessed Ramon Llull’s ultimate act of final perseverance was not one single decision made by grace, but the culmination of a life spent adhering to the will of God. The Memoirs of Blessed Ramon Llull is a thrilling narrative, reading almost like an action novel. In this autobiographical work, he humbly details his triumphs as well as his own weaknesses and disappointments. Due to rivalries between Catholic leaders, Bl. Ramon’s missionary zeal faced indifference from within the Church as well as resistance from without.  
    This Franciscan tertiary is known as the Doctor Illuminatus because he wrote over 300 works that span dozens of disciplines, not least of which is his Greater Art (Arts Major). TAN’s edition of Llull’s autobiography also includes substantial extracts from his Booklet about the End. Translated in English for the first time, by Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB, this work gives a detailed outline of his request made to Pope Clement V and the College of Cardinals for the establishment of monastic academies to train future missionaries in foreign languages. Unfortunately, his request was denied. A visionary among his fellow clergymen, Bl. Ramon was alone in recognizing the importance of learning the vernacular of the unconverted nations. Despite this and various additional disappointments he experienced, Bl. Ramon never swayed from the work Christ called him to.

    Richard Wurmbrand (March 24, 1909 - February 17, 2001) was a Romanian Christian minister of Jewish descent. He was a youth during a time of anti-Semitic activity in Romania, but it was later, after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as Messiah, and daring to publicly say that Communism and Christianity were not compatible, that he experienced imprisonment and torture for his beliefs. After serving five years of a second prison sentence, he was ransomed for $10,000. After spending time in Norway and England, he and his wife Sabina, who had also been imprisoned, emigrated to America and dedicated the rest of their lives to publicizing and helping Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He wrote more than eighteen books, translated into more than 60 languages, the most widely known being "Tortured for Christ." He founded the international organization, Voice Of The Martyrs, which aids Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith.

    What if the Brontës had a brother? What if they grew up in the early 2000s? What if they wrote about the agonies of being rejected via text message and the joys of finding dates who read books? 
    In this volume, the lives of three sibling dreamers play out in verse, threading enchantment into the challenges of growing up. As they find humor in tiny ordeals, meaning in disappointment, and beauty even in tragedy, their poems will open your heart, offering vulnerability and transparency on every page. In Sunshine or in Shadow is a treasure of laughter and tears that will stay with you forever. 
    Editorial Reviews: 
    "Underscoring these poems is a profound yearning to break open the world, and to be broken in turn, with the knowledge that the unmatched love of family will be there to pick up the pieces." 
    -DJ Hills, author of Leaving Earth 
    "This book is an invitation to feel something. If you've been out of touch with your ability to see, to seek, then by all means, wander in this world of misty-eyed dreamers and grapple with what it means to be alive, to suffer loss, to experience joy, to face death." 
    -Seth Johnson, author of Generational Verse 
    "These disarming poems, aimed at that elusive audience of readers who don't normally read poetry, do a beautiful job of introducing the art." 
    -Chris Nealon, author of The Shore 
    "To read In Sunshine or in Shadow is to be invited into the private language of siblings. Peterson, Flaherty, and Angel's poems chart an intimate emotional landscape of joy and disappointment, of grief and triumph in a manner that is at once anchored to literary tradition and entirely singular. This volume is homelike in the best possible way." 
    -Grant Shreve, Washington Post contributor

    Political Gospel - Public...

    Christians are constantly being accused of being too political or not political enough.  Often, the accusations are fair. Christians tend to get stuck in one of two political ditches: we either privatize our faith or make it partisan. We think religion and politics should be separate and never intermingle, or we align so tightly with a political party that we conflate the gospel with a human agenda.  In Political Gospel, Patrick Schreiner argues Christianity not only has political implications but is itself a politic. The gospel at its very core is political—Jesus declared Himself to be King. But He does not allow you to put Him in your political box.  In a supercharged political climate, Political Gospel explores what it means for Christians to have a biblical public witness by looking to Scripture, the early church, and today. Should we submit to governing authorities or subvert them? Are we to view them as agents of the dark forces or entities that promote order? In this book, we’ll see that Christians live in a paradox, and we’ll see how to follow Christ our King right into the political craziness of our day.
