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.
The God of All Comfort is an inspiring manual of faith by Hannah
Whitall Smith, who was one of the leading authors of Christian
advice in the late nineteenth century. Smith, having lived and
witnessed a life of supreme faith to God, writes her account of the
principles of the Lord and Jesus Christ. Her aim is to inspire
Christians who may be doubting their faith, as well as those who
need guidance through crises or struggles in life. With a close
reading of the Bible, Whitall Smith is able to demonstrate the
sublime comfort and serenity which the Lord God can dispense
through His love. Blessed with a gift for words and eloquent turns
of phrase, Hannah Whitall Smith places both her faith and her
affinity for language front and center in this book. For many years
this book has been consulted as a sublime manual of true Christian
advice, notable for the greathearted way in which lessons on how to
live and take joy as a follower of God are dispensed.
