A universal pattern can be found in all societies and in fact in
all of creation. We see it in the seasons of the year, the stories
of Scripture, and even in our own lives. In The Wisdom Pattern,
Father Richard Rohr illuminates the way understanding and embracing
this pattern can give us hope in difficult times and the courage to
push through messiness - and even great chaos - to find a new way
of being in the world. A new version of his earlier book Hope
Against Darkness, Father Rohr offers reflections in The Wisdom
Pattern that bring together a deep spirituality with Jungian
psychology. They have been thoroughly updated for today's world,
and reveal a vision of Christianity that speaks to the heart of
twenty-first century society. The Wisdom Pattern is a book for
anyone looking to understand better the patterns in the world
around us, and seeking hope for a divided and turbulent world. It
will leave you with a vision for moving forward with faith and
courage, as well as renewed empathy and compassion for those around
you.
Longing. Hope. Love. Fear. These are just some of the experiences
embodied in the infinitely rich Christian life. In Under the Wings
of God, seasoned author Cornelius Plantinga explores these facets
and more, reflecting on the joys and challenges of a life following
God. Rooted in Scripture, this book offers wisdom about topics
including the problem of suffering, the nature of Christian virtue,
love of God and our neighbor, longing for redemption and
reconciliation, humility, and hospitality. Plantinga delves into
hard questions with a calm and pastoral authority that offers the
perfect antidote for the unrest in the world and the church right
now. Each reflection is presented with a Bible text and a brief
prayer, useful for personal devotions or small group discussions.
Readers will emerge with a deeper understanding of and appreciation
for the Christian life, equipped with timeless insights into the
ups and downs of a life lived in the presence of God.

'The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation.
They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way
for this, or results from this.' This is the key statement of
'Miracles', in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not
only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique
personal involvement of God in his creation. Using his
characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis
challenges the rationalists, agnostics and deists on their own
grounds and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles
really do occur in our everyday lives.
