DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:

Oil & Water: Two Faiths, One God

Great Books from Wood LakeAmir Hussain | 256 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $24.95 | Written for Christians by Muslim world-religions scholar Amir Hussain, Oil & Water is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the Islamic faith and of the lives of Muslims in North America today. Part 2 explores the key points for dialogue today, including issues of violence and jihad, the roles of women and men, and the mystical tradition within Islam. In all of this, the book invites the reader to a place of reconciliation, to a place where the truth and value of each of these great faith traditions can be recognized and honoured by the other. In the end, the metaphor of oil and water is an interesting one for the reality of conflict and the hope for reconciliation between Islam and Christianity today..

Darwin, Divinity, and the Dance of the Cosmos

Great Books from Wood LakeBruce Sanguin | 256 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $27.95 | In March 2005, the United Nations released its Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. Among the findings: 2/3 of the world's ecosystems are seriously degraded; 90 percent of the world's fish stocks are depleted; and climate change is not just something that might happen, it is already upon us. Many people, including many Christians, will hear this and delude themselves into thinking that technology can and will save the day. A wiser and more helpful response, especially for Christians, is to find a way to step back into the flow of nature from which we have extricated ourselves. In Darwin, Divinity, and the Dance of the Cosmos, Bruce Sanguin shows us the way. Sanguin draws on the latest scientific understandings of the nature of the universe and weaves them together with biblical meta-narratives and frequently overlooked strands of the Judeo-Christian tradition to create an ecological and truly evolutionary Christian theology - a feat few theologians have even attempted. The importance of this accomplishment can hardly be overstated.

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 | So begins this long-awaited reissue of James Taylor's bestselling, timeless classic, An Everyday God. 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" trilogy, An Everyday God remains a rewarding guide to spiritual growth. Timeless insights from a master at seeing God in everyday life.

Angels in Red Suspenders

Great Books from Wood LakeAn Unconventional & Humorous Approach to Spirituality | Ralph Milton | 288 PP | 6.25" x 9.25" Paper | List price $24.95 | Ralph Milton is an angel. He may not look the part, but then, who does? In Angels in Red Suspenders, Milton shares stories of everyday miracles, hope, and the discovery of meaning. With characteristic zip and humour, he offers readers food for the spirit. Ralph Milton is one of Canada's best-known religious communicators, and a recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Sacred Letters from St. Stephen's College, Edmonton. He also has an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Vancouver School of Theology. A former news broadcaster, open line host and church administrator, Milton is the author of seventeen books including the bestselling Family Story Bible.

Cause for Hope: Humanity at the Crossroads

Great Books from Wood LakeBill Phipps | 224 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $23.95 | This provocative book from one of the most provocative leaders in the Canadian church challenges the governing story that has shaped and defined Western culture and society - a story that has manifested itself in ecological destruction, war and the obscene military expenditures that go with it, unprecendented consumerism, economic disparity between rich and poor, mistreatment of non-white cultures and races, sexism, and fear. Clearly, it is time for a new story. Bill Phipps takes on the task of outlining the core themes of this new story with the passion and vision of a modern-day prophet. He shows us the deeply spiritual nature of the issues and choices that confront us. Cause for Hope is part warning cry, part visionary exploration, part encouragement for the journey. As such, it is itself a cause for hope. Each chapter concludes with questions for discussion, making this book a valuable resource for study group use.

A Special BONUS - Yours FREE when you order.

Great Books from Wood Lake If you purchase this Leader's Package, we'll also send you the bookThe A.W.E. Project: Reinventing Education, Reinventing the Human by Matthew Fox | 192 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $24.95 | Matthew Fox has done it again. As one of the most prophetic voices of our time, he has created a unique new project that speaks the concerns and hopes of all of us who care about creating lives of meaning - for ourselves, our communities, our children and our children's children. Imagine how much richer learning will be for all ages when we intentionally cultivate a sense of appreciation and wonder. A.W.E. is the acronym for Fox's proposed style of learning - an approach to balance the three R's. This approach to learning, eldering, and mentoring, is intelligent enough to honor the teachings of the Ancestors, to nurture Wisdom in addition to imparting knowledge, and to Educate through Fox's 10 C's. The 10 C's are the core of the A.W.E. philosophy and process of education, and include: compassion, contemplation, and creativity. With passion and conviction, Fox turns conventional "education" upside down, shakes out what is no longer working, and offers visions of what can be.
