DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:

Lenten Lent: A Way to Refresh & Renew Your Spirit

New from Wood LakeDonna Schaper | 72 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $12.95 | Donna Schaper, author of more than 30 books, engages the sometimes gritty, often chaotic and challenging realities of our lives. With great honesty and humanity, openness and hope, she offers readers a way through Lent inspired by the ecological metaphors of renewable and sustainable energy - a truly healing "ecology" for the spirit. Each of the 41 daily devotions - including one for Easter - feature a scripture reference, meditation, prayer, and action step. Lenten Lent also includes guidelines for study groups, making this a perfect resource for both individual and group use.

Time: From Famine to Feast

New from Wood LakeDonna 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. 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.

Soul Quest A Spiritual Odyssey of Mountain Solitude

New from Wood LakePaul Hawker | 224 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | List price $22.95 | Finding himself at midlife feeling hollow and a like fraud, Paul Hawker embarks on a journey into the wilderness. In the tradition of the vision quest, like a hero in a mythic tale, he leaves his family and community to spend 40 days and 40 nights on a New Zealand mountaintop knowing full well the solitude, deprivation, and dangers he will face from exposure to the elements. But like many mystics and sages before him, he chooses a path of physical and spiritual testing as way to break through the veneer of his life. Soul Quest: A Spiritual Odyssey through 40 Days and 40 Nights of Mountain Solitude is the ruthlessly honest account of Paul Hawker's attempt to open himself to the Source, and to discern the voice of God in his life.

Sabbath Pause: Seven Weeks of Daily Practices

New from Wood LakeTerry 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. Sabbath Pause offers daily writings that encourage us to make time for small Sabbaths each day - a time to stop, breathe, reflect, and direct our focus with a particular intention, be it listening for God in the noise of life or dreaming the impossible dream. Each day for seven weeks, Chapman uses a combination of poetry and prose as well as quotations from scripture and literature to explore a theme. 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. Sabbath Pause offers daily writings that encourage us to make time for small Sabbaths each day - a time to stop, breathe, reflect, and direct our focus with a particular intention, be it listening for God in the noise of life or dreaming the impossible dream.
