Awarded third place in contemporary spirituality by the Catholic Media Association and third place in inspirational books by the Association of Catholic Publishers.Do you long to feel more alive, to see the vibrancy in your daily life? Do you feel the seeds of a new calling tugging at you?  Look to the Blessed Mother for help. In Birthing the Holy, Christine Valters Paintner—abbess of the online Abbey of the Arts—invites you to better know Mary and her heart through thirty-one of her titles, and, along the way, you’ll nurture the new growth in your life.  The Blessed Mother is known by many beautiful titles, some of which are familiar—Virgin, Queen of Peace, and Star of the Sea—and some we may not be aware of—Vessel of Grace, Greenest Branch, and Our Lady of Silence.  Paintner offers a flexible format to reflect on Mary’s titles through a thirty-one-day personal retreat, a series of novenas, or with visio divina exercises using striking images by printmaker Kreg Yingst. As you reflect on Mary in her role as Mother of Good Counsel, Woman Clothed with the Sun, Mystical Rose, Mother of Sorrows, Queen of the Angels, and other titles, Paintner invites you to hear what God calls you to develop in your life, help that dream or vision grow, and then nourish it in the world.  Whether you’re meeting Mary for the first time in these magnificent titles or revisiting her as a beloved companion, Birthing the Holy invites you to see the exploration of Mary and your life as a spiritual and creative act, one that can help deepen your faith even as it sparks new growth within you.

Supersensible Impulses - in the...

Rudolf Steiner

'When you perform a ritual, it is an appeal to the spiritual powers of the universe, an appeal to the powers that are meant to connect with the earth precisely through what people do…'  – Rudolf SteinerWith rituals or cultic forms as his central motif, Rudolf Steiner refers extensively to Indian, Persian and in particular Egyptian initiation rites, and how these enabled people of antiquity to connect with specific spiritual beings. He explains the practical purpose of mummification for the religious life of ancient Egypt, and of the use of ritual in certain secret societies or brotherhoods today as, in turn, a mummification of Egyptian rites. But he also points to the future, describing how truly-formulated rituals have a positive effect on human development. Whilst inhalation exercises were relevant to cultures of the past, the principle of 'exhalation' is important for future evolution.On the one hand, these extraordinary lectures relate to Rudolf Steiner's ceremonial work in the Esoteric School of 1906-1914, but more significantly they were given in parallel to the founding of the Christian Community, for which Rudolf Steiner mediated its sacraments. Today, he states, Christ must be sought through a new access to the spiritual world, and any remaining traditional ritualistic forms should be permeated with the power of the Mystery of Golgotha. The lectures are accompanied with an introduction by Dale Brunsvold, editorial notes and an index. Eight lectures, Dornach, Sept.-Oct. 1922, GA 216

Chosen - A Journey of Victory...

Anna Pranger

Chosen, a sequel to Loved, is a redemptive message to reveal the nature of Jesus and His love for you. The heart of Jesus is revealed through His joy and plan for you as you step into His world. Though redemption is often defined through the glory and sacrifice of the cross, the goal of this book is for us to truly see Jesus and His compassion for our journey as He answers the question, "Who is Chosen?"
The enemy has tried to fill our hearts with lies convincing us that we are unworthy of redemption. We come face to face with the feeling of "not enough" and yet Jesus speaks the truth, that because of Him we are worthy. Stepping into your identity that you are, in fact, chosen is the answer to overcoming those lies. Each chapter will challenge readers to look within and overcome fear as they step onto the path that has been laid before them. Through an inner healing journey, the reader will not only experience victory in overcoming the temptations that Jesus faced, but will overcome with compassion for others. Redeemer embodies the true identity of Christ and His love and adoration for you.
Chosen carries a depth of wisdom and will encourage the reader to not give up their fight. The reader will discover that each battle is won in the secret place. The message of this book is counter-cultural as it fills you with purpose and passion. Your journey as chosen has just begun.

Clinging to Hope - What...

Charles R. Swindoll

Respected Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll opens God's Word to help you understand how you can find hope in times of crisis. 
 
 
 
All of us are in desperate need of strength to endure and hope to carry on. Life is difficult and demanding. It's often filled with pain, heartaches, setbacks, and detours. Disappointments in others sadden us, scandals among those we respect shock us, and disputes in our families, churches, or workplaces demoralize us. When such troubles strike, they can be downright devastating. But they don't have to be! 
 
 
 
In Clinging to Hope, Chuck Swindoll reassures us that we can endure unexpected calamities. How? By taking our stand on the strong foundation of God's Word. When trials and tribulations rumble in like a fleet of bulldozers to demolish our lives, we can emerge from the rubble with a strong resolve to recover and rebuild. Not just to survive, but to thrive. 
 
 
 
In Clinging to Hope, Chuck will help you answer questions such as: Why is there so much suffering?; Why did my family member or friend succumb to health issues?; How can I carry on when I have no strength left?; Why is there so much conflict in the world?; and Where can I find hope when there is none to be found?
