DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:
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.
Going Beyond Words: 12 Practices for Spiritual Unfolding
 Lois Huey-Heck | 128 PP | 6" x 7" Paper | List price $24.95 | Contemplation, meditation, and prayer are some of the ways we "practice" our spirituality. Like learning new music on an instrument or drawing in a sketch book, we mature as spiritual beings as we practice being "present to the Presence." By slowing ourselves down (even for just a few minutes a day) and bringing our focus to that-which-is-bigger-than-us, we are transformed. This book offers spiritual practices that have their roots in ancient tradition and have been adapted and refined to be relevant and accessible to anyone interested in spiritual unfolding. Utilizing word, image, sound, and silence to engage our cognitive, emotional, and physical intelligences, the practices encourage and celebrate the ongoing process of spiritual transformation. They are designed to expand our repertoire of ways to be present to ourselves, to each other, to the cosmos, and to the Holy - in other words, ways to do our part in serving the Great Work. This practical book is illustrated with black and white images by the author. It is small enough to carry around in a shoulder bag or jacket pocket, and comes with an audio CD containing background music for the practices, timed intervals for meditation/contemplation/prayer, and verbal instructions. You will find it easy to begin the practice of engaging your whole self in your spiritual journey.
I'd Say Yes, God If I Knew What You Wanted
 Nancy C. Reeves | 224 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $19.95 | "What do you want from me, God?" If you've ever struggled with this question, but haven't found a way to answer it, then this book is for you. Real-life stories from 75 men and women open up a world of spiritual discernment practices inviting you to find one that works for you. Easy to read, yet rich with information, this book draws on faith traditions as diverse as Baha'I, Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Sikh, and Sufi. Stories from every day people living everyday lives are interspersed with biographical accounts from C.S. Lewis, Albert Schweitzer, Shoghi Effendi, Mahatma Ghandi, Matsuo Basho, Thomas Merton, and Mother Teresa. Over 40 discernment concepts and methods are illustrated including prayer, worship, pilgrimage, labyrinth, Enneagram, I Ching, pendulum, angels, the medicine wheel, and the use of sacred texts. Suitable for individual use, this book lends itself to group settings such as workshops or retreats.
A Match Made in Heaven: Deepening Relationship with God
 Nancy C. Reeves | 96 PP | 5.5" x 8.5" Paper | List price $14.95 | Improve your relationship with God, using the original "how to" book - the Bible. Books, magazines, and talk shows are full of advice on how to improve our love lives. Psychologist and spiritual director Nancy Reeves points out that some of these same principles apply to our relationship with God. The principles include: Say "I Love You" Frequently; Tell Your Loved One What You Need; Share Your Pain as Well as Your Joy; Take Time Just to Be Together. Each of the 12 chapters includes a psychological principle, the corresponding scripture passage, stories that bring the principle to life, and a relationship-building exercise. A discussion guide is included to facilitate small group use.
Mothers & Daughters
 Madeleine L'Engle | 88 PP | 9" x 6" Hardcover | List price $24.95 | Award-winning writer Madeleine L'Engle and her photographer daughter Maria Rooney created this inspiring book of poems, prayers, photographs, and reflections on the special relationship between mothers and daughters.
Time: From Famine to Feast
 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 fulfillmnent within the time we have. 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.
