Love, Henri: Letters on the Spiritual Life
Over the course of his life, priest, professor, and spiritual teacher Henri Nouwen wrote thousands of letters to friends, acquaintances, parishioners, students, and readers of his work all around the world. This audiobook collection of previously unpublished letters stretches from the earliest years of Henri's career to his last ten years at L'Arche Daybreak.
Stars at Night: When Darkness Unfolds as Light
Paula D'Arcy was only 27 when a drunk driver killed her husband and young daughter. But in the midst of her crushing despair—and to her complete amazement—she discovered a presence within her that responded to her fearful cries for help. In this captivating new work, D'Arcy brings the reader with her, explaining how the enveloping darkness eventually began to lift and how night slowly became day again.
"There are precious few trustworthy doctors of grief and loss, but Paula D'Arcy is one of them. … Stars at Night offers a guide, a GPS, of how to find your way through grief and struggle."
-Ronald Rolheiser, OMI, author, The Holy Longing, The Search for a Christian Spirituality and president, Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas
Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi
Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved of all saints. Both traditional and revolutionary, he was a paradox.
Francis found an "alternative way" to follow Jesus, one that disregarded power and privilege and held fast to the narrow path of the Gospel. Franciscan friar Richard Rohr helps us look beyond the birdbath image of the saint to remind us of the long tradition founded on his revolutionary, radical, and life-changing embrace of the teachings of Jesus.
"A gift to all Franciscan-hearted people everywhere!"
-Daniel P. Horan, OFM, author, The Last Words of Jesus: A Meditation on Love and Suffering
Prayer in the Catholic Tradition: A Handbook of Practical Approaches
Within the Catholic tradition, there are many ways to pray. Yet there is no truly comprehensive work available on how to learn, practice, and teach ways of prayer. This handbook breaks new ground, offering 45 important voices on essential topics for a comprehensive look at the learning, practice, and teaching of all that it means to pray in the Catholic tradition.
"In every area of life we stand in need of mentors and models. Robert J. Wicks has found 45 of them, individuals who write out of experience, sharing their love for and understanding of prayer. What a gift we have here. A transformative book!"
-Robert F. Morneau, Pastor of Resurrection Parish, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Green Bay
