Maximized Manhood : A Guide To Family Survival (Revised)
$15.99Add to cartThis is a book that is unabashedly, uncompromisingly written to men. There are many books about us, but precious few written to us.

It is long overdue.
Pungent and direct, this is a book that challenges today’s man. Some may be so angry at the ascertions that they will want to slam the book down and quit. Others will be tempted to fire off a hot letter to “get Ed Cole straightened out.”

Sabbath : Finding Rest Renewal And Delight In Our Busy Lives
$19.00Add to cartIn today’s world, with its relentless emphasis on success and productivity, we have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between work and rest.

Millennia ago, the tradition of Sabbath created an oasis of sacred time within a life of unceasing labor. Now, in a book that can heal our harried lives, Wayne Muller, author of the spiritual classic How, Then, Shall We Live?, shows us how to create a special time of rest, delight, and renewal–a refuge for our souls.
We need not even schedule an entire day each week. Sabbath time can be a Sabbath afternoon, a Sabbath hour, a Sabbath walk. With wonderful stories, poems, and suggestions for practice, Muller teaches us how we can use this time of sacred rest to refresh our bodies and minds, restore our creativity, and regain our birthright of inner happiness.

Pilgrim People : Learning Through The Church Year
$17.95Add to cartAs a people whose faith is formed and nourished by the Bible’s stories of creation and fall, salvation and redemption, Christians hunger to order their lives by the church’s story and their own. Our journey to God leads us through the cycle of the church year?from Advent and Christmas to Easter and the season called “ordinary time”?as we tell and retell God’s story and make it the story we live by. In A Pilgrim People John Westerhoff looks at the gospel texts season by season and relates their teachings not only to Christian life and ministry but to the life cycle of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
In teaching the lessons of the church year, Westerhoff starts not with Advent but with Holy Week and Easter, which marks the birth of Christian faith and its vision of a dream come true. Commenting briefly on each of the gospel readings for each Sunday, he moves from Eastertide through Ascension and Pentecost, the season after Pentecost, Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, and Lent, offering useful themes for preaching and education. The final chapter incorporates a radical proposal for Christian education to reform the church’s organization, worship, education, and outreach.

Premeditated Mercy
$16.95Add to cartWe normally hear the word premeditated in conjunction with murder. One has deliberated for a long time, covered every option, thought about every detail in taking another?s life. Premeditated mercy is the parallel opposite of premeditated murder. It implies a deliberate, thoughtful and willful act to give life: to forgive, to be reconciled, to live at peace with others, even those who have betrayed us, forsaken us, abandoned us, threatened us. In Premeditated Mercy Father Joe Nassal outlines a comprehensive and transformative spirituality of reconciliation. He offers a recipe for preparing a meal of mercy in the pattern of the Gospels. Jesus? challenge is clear enough: We are to reconcile with one another before bringing our gifts to the altar, for that table reflects God?s desire that we live in a holy communion with all people. Premeditated mercy suggests that in our silent prayer before the altar we ponder the breach in relationship and plot a strategy that will lead to reconciliation. Includes: 1.Revolutionary recipes for communal as well as one-on-one reconciliation 2.Scripturally sound, freshly creative ways to set the table for forgiveness and communion 3.How to find room at the table for all ? the beloved as well as the betrayer 4.How to find common ground amidst the variety of values and wounds we bring to the table 5.How we can make sacred connections within ourselves and in our relationships 6.Helps us see our shadows on Mercy Street 7.Helps us learn prayer from the crawl space 8.Helps us find our footing in the shadow of the cross Employing engaging stories from a variety of faith traditions, from real life as well as original tales, this poetic manual for becoming a minister of reconciliation brings a radically challenging spiritual work within the reach of each of us. A fresh Lenten resource for pastoral ministers, for disciples of the Preacher of the Sermon on the Mount and all who seek to live more fully the way of reconciliation.

From Advent To Pentecost
$31.95Add to cartThe author writes with warmth, with learning, with passion and with humor. The reader can enter into something of the accumulated wisdom of an Order whose members ‘have carried out the same little series of exercises since the eleventh century’. Each season has its special appeal for Carthusians – as the Conferences on Mary and on John the Baptist in the Advent and Christmas seasons show. The great Sunday Gospels of Lent – the Transfiguration, the Samaritan woman at the well, the raising of Lazarus – are expounded; the Passion of Christ is the subject of meditations that are profoundly and sometimes startlingly direct in their candour.
Yet perhaps the most remarkable part of this unusual book the author’s capacity to speak at length and to the point about the Resurrection and the coming of the Spirit. Here, where Christian teachers and preachers have so often been either hesitant or dogmatically remote, we have someone who clearly participates in the mysteries of which he speaks. It is a priceless gift to us all.

Final Steps In Christian Maturity
$10.95Add to cartThe King of France ordered Jeanne Guyon to appear before Archbishop Bossuet for interrogation. This would be a fateful event for her, for the results of that interrogation would decided whether or not she would be imprisoned.
Jeanne Guyon made the decision to present to Bossuet a clear statement – and defense – of her teachings. The result was a massive three-volume work entitled Justifications.
This work was later printed in French, probably appearing in only one printing. Justifications has never appeared in English, and has been virtually forgotten. Final Steps In Christian Maturity is a careful selection of some of the very best material found in that original three-volume work.
Here, then, is some of the finest literature ever penned on the deeper Christian life.

Spiritual Torrents
$10.95Add to cart120 Pages/17 Chapters
Additional Info
SPIRITUAL TORRENTSThis book is a spiritual autobiography in which Jeanne Guyon likens her life to a torrent making its way out of the high mountains down into the canyons and chasms of life, passing through many experiences until finally coming to the spiritual experience of death. From there the torrent experiences resurrection and a life lived in concert with the will of God while still going through many stages of refinement. At last the torrent finds its way into the vast, unlimited sea. Even here the torrent does not totally come to be one with the vast ocean until it has once more passed through final dealings by the Lord.
The reader will find this book to be the saga of one believer’s journey with Christ. It does not serve as a pattern for any other life, but simply allows the reader to see how Guyon viewed the Lord’s work in her life. Nevertheless, this is one of the greatest books ever written on the subject of the cross as it works in the life of the believer.

Poor Therefore Rich
$29.95Add to cartFollowers of the way of Jesus Christ through two millennia have engaged in the joyful yet life-costing struggle of responding to the challenge of being transformed into his likeness. This further volume of Carthusian Novice Conferences offers the father-master’s words of instruction on poverty to the men who have been drawn to the Carthusian form of the Christian way.
As with all of us, ‘poverty’ operates on many levels, and one of the most remarkable qualities of these talks is that they range over the economic history as well as the more traditionally spiritual teaching of the Carthusian Order in its own struggle to seek Christ in simplicity and silence.
Like all Christians, the Carthusians find Jesus the great Exemplar of the poverty that is desirable and yet ‘costs not less than everything’; and once again we are reminded, with characteristic directness, of the source and fount of the desirable poverty – the total mutual self-giving of the Persons of the Holy Trinity.

Spiritual Journaling : Recording Your Journey Toward God (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99Add to cartThe SPIRITUAL FORMATION STUDY GUIDES explore and explain how the use of disciplines (such as journaling, Bible reading, prayer, and others) can deepen both our walk with God and our community with other believers.
THE FIRST STEP TOWARD GROWTH IS NOTICING. What are the life-style characteristics that distinguish a follower of Jesus from those who share no interest in Him? Widespread research suggests that in our society there are none.
Why is that? Surely one would expect a follower of history’s most influential person to stand out from the crowd. Perhaps it relates to the pace of contemporary life. By running so fast, we miss the meaning of our actions, and the cultivation of our characters.
hough many of us do try to capture each day’s experiences in a journal, few take that practice to the level of a spiritual discipline by using it to explore the work of God in our lives.
In Spiritual Journaling, you will learn to recognize the progression from who you have been to who you are meant to become. By taking time to go back and understand the critical elements of your life-the events, relationships, patterns, and experiences that shape you-you will gradually find yourself viewing the future through the lens of conformity to the way of Jesus.
Whether you choose to explore this new skill with a group of friends (recommended!) or on your own, you’ll benefit from the thoughtful exercises presented in this study guide.

Freedom Of Obedience
$24.95Add to cart‘The spiritual centre of the human person, the self’, writes the author, ‘maintains its fundamental identity for the whole of life on earth and is destined for participation in the eternal life of God… The person is not a succession of separate points at the mercy of the conditions of the moment. God has given us a share in his power as creator, and to create ourselves through our liberty, to go beyond ourselves towards absolute values’. These reflections by a Carthusian novice master for those training for the life of silent love show that in the obedience born of love, one responds to the all encompassing, deeply intimate and sustaining love of God.

FOLLOWING CHRISTDo you want your life to count for Christ? Would you like to make a real impact for God’s kingdom in this world? You can-and you don’t have to be a great leader for it to happen. Just a good follower.
In Following Christ, Joseph Stowell shows why Christ’s command to “Follow me” isn’t merely the starting point of Christianity. It’s the very heartbeat of vibrant, effective faith. And its not just for a few gifted leaders, but for all believers.
“Christianity is a relationship, an adventure, a passionate pursuit of Christ,” says Stowell. “Followers escape the drudgery of a system of rituals and regulations, and revel in the discovery of the ever-interesting Christ.”
Stowell shows you what happens when an ordinary man or woman pursues not the trappings of Christianity, but Christ himself.
You’ll discover:
– What a “non-negotiated” follower looks like
– Why God does his best work through followers
– Why self-directed living is a recipe for emptiness
– What makes Christ so worth following
– How Christ transforms our character
– What it means to pick up your cross
– Why a close walk with Jesus is the key to effective livingThis inspiring book cuts through the side-issues of Christianity to reveal its true, compelling object: Jesus Christ. As his fully devoted follower, you’ll discover a dynamic and refreshing way of living-one that will sustain you through life’s valleys and provide breathtaking spiritual vistas from its peaks. Its Christianity the way God intended it, marked by simplicity. Vigorous faith. Purpose and direction. Soul-winning impact on those around you.
And above all, a joyous, growing closeness with Christ.
