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 | The 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.


Embodied Prayer: Toward Wholeness of Mind, Body, Soul


Great Books from Wood LakeCeleste Snowber | 192 PP | 5.5" x 9" | Paper | List Price: $19.95 | Our bodies have too long been in exile. We listen or pray with our hearts and minds, but ignore much of our bodies; we become "disembodied." This illuminating book is about honoring what our bodies have to teach us. Brimming with words of wisdom that will allow you to discover what a gift your body is, Embodied Prayer invites you towards wholeness of body, mind, and soul. Embodied Prayer is an invitation to experience prayer from the inside out, awakening our soul through our bodies, allowing us to integrate our body, mind, and soul.

New from Wood LakeBruce Sanguin | 250 PP | 6" x 9" | Paper | List Price: $22.95 | These are new prayers for a new age. They spark the spiritual imagination back to life and reorient us to a mystical unity with the universe, Spirit, and all of creation. Emerging out of the conversation between the science of evolution and spirituality, these prayers continually surprise with their earthy wisdom and profound celebration of life. They awaken in us a sacred impulse to evolve in and toward the heart of the divine.

You'll find prayers for every season of the year as well as for special occasions. As an aid to private devotional practice, they stir the soul to awaken to a cosmic identity - being the presence of the evolving universe in human form. The prayers are also being used as devotions to open sacred gatherings and meetings. A collection of prayers like If Darwin Prayed comes along once in a very long time.


Pastoral Prayers to Share Year B: Prayers of the People


Great Books from Wood LakeDavid Sparks | 270 PP | 5.5" x 8.5" | Paper | List Price: $29.95 | Just what is pastoral prayer all about? When we pray for others and ourselves, what are we attempting to do? As David Sparks explains, as pastoral pray-ers we are about bringing ourselves into right relationship with God, both as individuals and as a faith community. As pastoral pray-ers, we are about expressing our compassion for suffering humanity, and fulfilling God's intention of establishing God's realm on earth. Pastoral pray-ers are also about being involved in the answers to our prayers. There's no trying to persuade God to do what we ourselves could do with some energy and effort here! David writes his prayers with a view to awakening in us an awareness of where to put our energy and use our faith to bring about God's kingdom on earth. They cover local and worldwide events, individual and congregational concerns. They are all lectionary-based and responsive and can easily be adapted to particular circumstances and used in a variety of settings. Each weekly prayer is divided into four sections: world, suffering, church, and ourselves. Each week offers two or three specific prayer formats to choose from; the "How to Use" section provides 16 broad variations. The book also includes a data CD with text files, thematic and scripture indices, and icons in the margin for quick reference.
