DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:

An Everyday God: Insights from the Ordinary

Great Books from Wood LakeJames Taylor | 160 PP | 5.5" x 8.5" | Paper | List Price: $19.95 | Jim Taylor is a master at finding God in the stuff of ordinary life. He teaches the way Jesus taught - by telling stories about everyday things: an old song remembered from years ago, an arthritic pet cat, a lost contact lens. Along the way, he opens our eyes, ears, minds, and hearts, to the discovery that God is not only present in religious ceremonies, but in everything we do, whether we're studying the universe or diapering a baby, taking out the garbage or playing touch football. At any time, God may be telling us something new, or helping us to understand something old. The first book in Taylor's "Everyday" series, An Everyday God remains a rewarding guide to spiritual growth. Jim Taylor is one of Canada's best known authors and editors among mainline churches and denominations. He is the author of twelve books and was the Managing Editor of The United Church Observer.

True North Strong and Free

Great Books from Wood LakeNew Ways of Looking at Canada on the 150th Birthday of the Country | Brian Arthur Brown | 136 PP | 11" x 9" | Paper | List Price: $24.95 | Canadian author Brian Arthur Brown and internationally renowned map maker Ward L. Kaiser, both United Church ministers, team up with Canada's National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, the Leader of the Green Party, the Bishop of the Arctic, and political visionaries from Niagara to Yukon to put Truth & Reconciliation into the heart of the 2017 sesquicentennial. True North Strong and Free is a souvenir book that celebrates Canada's dynamic history, its exciting present opportunities, and looks to the country's promising future. Always writing collaboratively, in True North, Strong and Free, Brian Arthur Brown goes full circle in analysis of Canada's interesting history, dynamic present and promising future, assuming that Quebec is probably here to stay now, and reaching out to First Nations for a similar resolution of long-standing grievances and lost opportunities. Brown is the author of over 20 books on the quest for peace and harmony between First Nations and other Canadians, French and English in Canada, Canadians and Americans at war and in peace, and Jews, Christians and Muslims worldwide. His magnum opus is a bestselling two-volume compendium Three Testaments: Torah, Gospel and Quran (2012) and Four Testaments: Tao Te Ching, Analects, Dhammapada, Bhagavad Gita (2016). This set is of particular interest and some importance since "faith relations" have joined "race relations" as the hot button issues of the twenty first century.

Move: What the Body Wants

New from Wood LakeCynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter | 320 PP | 6" x 9" | Paper | List Price: $24.95 | What If the Hokey Pokey Really Is What It's All About? If you were to look one place in the world to find a more embodied, playful and grace-filled life, the InterPlay people would tell you to go straight to the source! Your own body! Move: What the Body Wants introduces readers step by step into InterPlay, a practice for creative and spiritual development that reintegrates the body into all aspects of life.

Included with the book is online access to the full-length Interplay album Like Breathing, which will help awaken your body wisdom.

Time: From Famine to Feast

Great Books from Wood LakeRev. Donna Schaper | 88 PP | 5.5" x 8.5" | Paper | List Price: $14.95 | Help! I just don't have enough time! If this sounds like you, know that you are in good company. There is a time famine out there - a pervading sense that we have more to do than we can possible get done in the time we have - and most of us live with some version of it. The trick, of course, is to move from famine to feast, from a sense of not having enough time, to a sense of freedom, enjoyment, and fulfillment within the time we have. In Time: From Famine to Feast, Donna Schaper offers encouragement and advice on how to leave the land of famine and find a seat at the feast. Discussing and then moving beyond the systemic sources of the time famine, Schaper's ultimate goal is to explore "the inner way, the way we have internalized the commandments of multiple systems and feel bad or wrong or in violation or out of compliance if we don't obey our orders to be busy, active, connected, overworked, and time famished." This is a spiritual journey that will require us to be honest about just how starved we really are, as well as navigate our "work-family time dilemma," discern what "coheres" us, begin to use "spiritual technologies," and get comfortable with play. Of course, practice is required, so Schaper provides 52 of them - a "spiritual practice," for each week of the year designed to bring us to our place at the feast.
