and international importance.
Have you ever felt far away from God? Though many Christians are
convinced they can't admit that, if you're feeling distant from
God, you're not alone. In fact, honesty about divine distance is an
important first step back to the presence of God. The truth is, we
all go through seasons when prayers seem futile, worship feels
empty, or we feel lonely, wondering if God cares or even knows what
we're facing. When those seasons come and our familiar spiritual
routines are no longer working, how can we recover the closeness
with God that we crave? With transparency and a pastoral heart,
Jamie Rasmussen reveals eight ways to navigate divine distance and
experience the nearness of God again. After unpacking why God
sometimes feels so far away, he mines the riches of the book of
Esther for principles that are available to us today. The result is
an intimate and practical guide to navigating seasons of divine
distance so we can once again feel closer to God.

Not another book about what we already know, but one about what we
overlook. In Ten Things They Never Told Me About Jesus John Bell
explores facets of the personal life, relationships and ministry of
Jesus which are seldom the stuff of preaching or conversation, but
which are all rooted in the Gospels and are necessary if we are to
be freed from the passive stereotypes which still dominate thinking
about Christ. Much of the book is rooted in encounters with people
on the periphery of religious life and in situations where
politeness was not a prerequisite for discussing faith. John Bell
is a member of the Iona Community, an ordained minister and an
occasional broadcaster who lectures and preaches across the globe.
Christ of the Celts
"I explore the Celtic image of Christ as the Memory of what we
have forgotten. He remembers the dance of the universe and the
harmony that is deep within all things. He is the Memory also of
who we are."
--from the Prelude
"Diagnosing the human soul with a longing for peace in the face of
fear and fragmentation nurtured by global political forces and
fundamentalisms, Newell offers the ancient traditions of Celtic
Christianity as a way forward in healing humankind and the
earth."
--Publishers Weekly
"This graceful, wise, and important book is a superb introduction
to the treasures of Celtic Christianity for our time."
--Marcus Borg, author, The Heart of Christianity

Rueben P. Job, author of Three Simple Rules, brings us a new
insight on how to live a Christ-like life and explores the three
most basic and profound questions at the center of our faith
questions that all major religions try to answer and around which
there seems to be much confusion: Who Is God? Who Am I? Who Are We
Together? How we answer these three simple questions has a big
impact on what we believe, how we live, and how we relate to other
people. In Three Simple Questions, Youth Edition based on Rueben P.
Job s book Three Simple Questions: Knowing the God of Love, Hope,
and Purpose youth will spend six weeks discussing and wrestling
with these basic but life-changing questions Who is God?: What do
we know about God? What can we learn about God through the person
of Jesus Christ and the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit? Who am
I?: What does it mean for us to be God s beloved children? How do
we reflect the light of Christ into the darkness we encounter? Who
are we together?: What does it mean to be the church? How do we, as
members of the church, practice our faith? Three Simple Questions,
Youth Edition responds to these questions with a host of
activities, challenges, and discussion questions. During these six
sessions, youth will gain a better understanding of how to live as
a child of God and a member of the body of Christ. "
The issue of homosexuality has become one of the most contentious
within the Christian church today. Urs Mattmann shows that the
spiritual and indeed practical aims of gay and lesbian people are
no different from those of others on the path of true spirituality
throughout the ages; in fact, their particular lifestyles and
experiences put them in a better position to work for good in the
world. The author explores a mystic spirituality and describes
numerous practical steps that gay men and women can take in order
to connect with their innate spiritual nature and express it in
their daily lives and relationships. He provides prayers,
meditations, rituals, exercises and other suggestions to foster
spiritual discovery. Addressing the unique gifts that gays and
lesbians have to offer to the rest of us - 'queer' gifts not only
for personal development but also for service in and to the world -
this book shows how a relevant and liberating spirituality can
enrich the lives of gay and lesbian people on a practical level.
Urs Mattmann is a social worker and a Psychosynthesis counsellor
who has studied theology and has a background in meditation. A
member of an ecumenical Christian order, he has initiated a number
of spiritual projects for gay and lesbian people, and also leads
retreats, workshops and seminars.
