Things Hidden: Scripture As Spirituality

978-0-86716-659-0 1

Richard Rohr In this exploration of central themes of Scripture, Richard Rohr

transforms the written word, discovering in these ancient texts a

new and vital meaning, relevant and essential for modern

Christians. He uncovers what the Bible says about morality,

power, wisdom and the generosity of God in a manner that

demands a life-changing response from believers.

The Naked Now: Learning to See as the

Mystics See

978-0-8245-2543-9 1

Richard Rohr Franciscan priest and spirituality author Rohr (Everything

Belongs ) again brings his energy to the reclamation of the

Christian mystical tradition. He has a lot of scripture on his side,

with many citations from the gospels and epistles. He also offers

a distinctive definition of prayer as a nondualistic way of seeing

the moment. To see as a mystic sees is to pray continually, as

scripture enjoins. Some of his criticisms of institutional forms of

religiosity as a barrier to seeing with insight are familiar.

Falling Upward:

A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

978-0-470-90775-

72

Richard Rohr In Falling Upward , Fr. Richard Rohr seeks to help readers

understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them

that those who have fallen, failed, or "gone down" are the only

ones who understand "up." Most of us tend to think of the

second half of life as largely about getting old, dealing with

health issues, and letting go of life, but the whole thesis of this

book is exactly the opposite.

Contemplative Prayer

Thomas Merton In this classic text, Thomas Merton offers valuable guidance for

prayer. He brings together a wealth of meditative and mystical

influences–from John of the Cross to Eastern desert

monasticism–to create a spiritual path for today. Most important,

he shows how the peace contacted through meditation should

not be sought in order to evade the problems of contemporary

life, but can instead be directed back out into the world to affect

positive change.

978-1-57174-624-

Carl McColman Mysticism is a topic many people associate with eastern spiritual

practices such as Zen Buddhism or yoga. But Christianity has its

own mystical tradition with a long and rich history that reaches

back to the New Testament -- and remains surprisingly relevant

today. The Big Book of Christian Mysticism explores this rich

tradition and shows how it can be a powerful tool for

transformation and the experience of the Divine.

reader to the main parables of Jesus in an engaging and

accessible way.

Just Walk Across the Room: Simple

Steps Pointing People to Faith

978-0-310-26669-

31

Bill Hybels Evangelism is as simple and as scary as walking across the

room, according to Hybels, well known senior pastor of Willow

Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Ill. His heartfelt

burden for sharing the Christian message is clear as he guides

readers to a new understanding of why and how they can help

others meet God. He offers solid advice on evangelism, yet

does so without sounding like he's checking off items on a

spiritual list. His form of evangelism is relational, what he calls

"Living in 3D." Hybels enlarges on the three Ds—develop

friendships, discover stories, discern next steps—in a clear,

conversational way, all the while challenging Christians to move

beyond their insulated "evangelism-void vacuum."

Holy Conversation:

Talking About God in Everyday Life

978-0-8308-1119-

Richard Peace In Holy Conversation Richard Peace teaches us how to engage

in easy and comfortable conversation about the good news of

Jesus--the pressure is off. Using small, easy steps, he explains

the gospel in plain language and encourages us in practical

ways to share our faith with friends, neighbors and colleagues.

Written as a guide for small groups, Holy Conversation is

designed to be completed in twelve weekly sessions (other

options are provided). Not only do group members read about

holy conversation, they actually engage one another in spiritual

conversation

John O. Gooch Jesus used food and mealtimes to build community and to teach

about the Father, Son and Kingdom. (Some of the numerous

examples include the wedding at Cana, the call to Levi and to

Zaccheus, the banquet parables, eating with Pharisees and also

with persons of ill repute, the miraculous feedings with fish and

bread.) Table Fellowship will deal with the concepts of miracle

meals, eucharist, hospitality, etiquette, clean and unclean, and

others. This volume will help participants to experience and

appreciate the eucharistic quality of daily life through meals with

family, church and other communities and to invite people to

God’s table. 8 sessions.

Moral Teachings of Jesus

978-0-687-03865-

71

Foskett In terms of Christian discipleship, morality is rooted in the

imitation of Jesus’ actions and teaching. The Sermon on the

Mount urges Christians to put into action a particular vision of

discipleship and community. Here Matthew’s vision of the

kingdom of heaven is foundational for how one understands

discipleship and the life of the faith community. The Sermon

focuses on setting before readers not specific commands, but

paradigms that help them first to imagine the kingdom of heaven

and then to practice its moral precepts.

The Miracles of Jesus

978-0-687-09020-

41

David Otto 6-8 sessions. The Miracles of Jesus will help learners

experience the miracles as part of the redemptive work of Jesus

and to understand these miracles as a testimony to Jesus’

identity, as depicted in the Gospels. Included are: Jesus as a

miracle-working figure, Healing as symbolic action, such as

rethinking the purpose of the Sabbath, Exorcisms,

“Portents”—miracles showing Jesus’ divine authority and Old

Testament predecessors, such as Moses and Elijah, Miracles,

or signs, in the Gospel of John, Miracles as signs of the early

church, Miracles of healing and touch, and Jesus and miracles

beyond the Gospels.

much to say to the world today as it did two thousand years ago.

Rick Richardson Many of us have tried various spiritual activities--church

services, meditation nurturing our souls through listening to

spiritual teachers or reading books by those who seem to be

ahead of us. And yet we feel empty. We have questions like:

What is spirituality? / Do all religious leaders basically say the

same things? How do I find what works for me? / What is so

unique about Jesus? / Why is it so hard to stay spiritually

focused? / How can I pray?
