  Named one of the best spiritual books of 2022 by Spirituality & Practice. 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.

  The old axiom is true: people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We find ourselves in a cultural moment where people simply want to feel seen, heard, and loved. The good news? A little kindness goes a long way. It's time for this overlooked and underappreciated fruit of the Spirit to get its due. 
   
   
   
  Ready or not, be kind. —From the Preface

  Gratitude - The Joyful Heart -...

  Gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions a person can experience. It has the ability to shift our focus, change our perspective, and even improve our overall well-being. At its core, gratitude is the simple act of recognizing and appreciating the blessings, both big and small, that we encounter in our lives. When we focus on what we are grateful for, we begin to experience a greater sense of happiness and contentment. 
  Research has shown that gratitude is linked to numerous benefits, including better mental health, stronger relationships, and improved physical health. The practice of gratitude can lower stress levels, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and increase overall life satisfaction. This is because when we focus on the positive aspects of our lives, we train our brains to look for the good rather than dwelling on what is lacking or going wrong. 
  The impact of gratitude on our lives is not just emotional. It also has profound physical effects. Studies have demonstrated that practicing gratitude can help boost the immune system, improve sleep quality, and lower blood pressure. When we are in a state of gratitude, our bodies release feel-good hormones such as dopamine and serotonin, which contribute to an overall sense of well-being and relaxation.

  What sets the historic Christian faith apart from all other religions and worldviews? Nothing less than the good news of God’s saving grace in Jesus Christ. The Protestant Reformers boldly declared the marvelous message of the gospel: Salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. Together, these “alone” statements are called the five solas of the Reformation.  In this book, Dr. Gabe Fluhrer explains how the five solas give us the heartbeat of the gospel and the road map for the Christian life. By knowing these core biblical truths, we can cultivate deeper delight in God’s grace and greater devotion to His glory.
