DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:

Adventures of the God Detectives

Nancy Reeves and Linnea Good | 96 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $8.95 | When seven-year-old Tabitha hears a message from Jesus while listening to a Bible story, she tells her three best friends - Emma, Jacob, and Fu-Han (who are aged eight and nine). Intrigued by her experience, the friends find themselves wondering about how God speaks to people, and to kids in particular. And with that simple question, the God Detectives are born. Adventures of the God Detectives is about a group of young friends who form a club to discover the variety of ways God invites us into a relationship. The book contains seven stories for children aged six to ten years old, and is illustrated with black and white line drawings. Each story includes "Notes for Adults," and "Questions to consider with Children," designed to help parents talk with children about spiritual experiences. Adventures of the God Detectives chronicles the discoveries Tabitha, Emma, Jacob, and Fu-Han make, as they meet a native elder and a Franciscan monk, encounter a little sister's "imaginary companion," interpret a dream, wrestle with their conscience, read the Bible, and pray.

The Alligator in Naomi's Pillow

David Giuliano and Marlene McBrien | 28 PP | 9" x 8" Paper | List price $12.95 | The Alligator in Naomi's Pillow is an engaging story about a little girl struggling to overcome her fears. The text and the delightful illustrations are infused with humour and allow an easy rapport with Naomi and her nightly situation.

What can be seen as a troubling and upsetting event (for both parents and child) is sensitively and realistically dealt with by the author's deft and light hand.

Arousing the Spirit: Provocative Writings

Susan McCaslin | 240 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $24.95 | These writings by author-poet Susan McCaslin offer fresh and alternative ways of seeing and understanding our relationship with the Spirit. Christian-based, the 14 pieces that make up this collection (on topics such as perfectionism, paradise, the Beatitudes, Revelation, and presence) range beyond the compass of traditional Christianity to reveal universal wisdom and meaning. Written in beautifully nuanced language that articulates her clear thinking and captures her poet heart, the book reflects the central passions of McCaslin's life: "mysticism (or the direct experience of the sacred) and its place in everyday life; peacemaking and justice; the relation of spirituality and sexuality; and the significance of Jesus of Nazareth once divested of outworn theology and his sappy Hollywood persona." McCaslin believes that actions speak louder than words or beliefs, and her pieces encourage us to explore ways to live life as a "mystical dance." Each chapter is prefaced by one of McCaslin's exquisite poems, leading the reader into a place of quiet contemplation from which to explore the writing.

Sabbath Pause: Seven Weeks of Daily Practices

Terry Chapman | 224 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $24.95 | The original Jewish "Sabbath" referred to a 24-hour period every seven days which was set aside for worship, rest, and renewal.

This exploration is followed by questions for reflection, a breath prayer, and an "intention" for the day. Using this daily spiritual practice, Chapman opens us to a new rhythm or way of living life with and in God - a way that can nourish our deepest needs.
