A selection from Underhill's enduring devotional writings, chosen
for their pertinence to Lenten themes. Half a century has passed
since Evelyn Underhill's death, yet her devotional writings have
endured as a beacon to those who seek a deeper understanding of the
interior life in the mystical Christian tradition. The editor's
personal discovery of Underhill's works when he was a young student
at General Theological Seminary moved him to pursue an extensive
knowledge of her writings. From these he has skillfully culled
readings appropriate for every day of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to
Easter Eve and broadly following liturgical themes. Now back in
print, these selections were chosen with the purpose of deepening
Lenten observance by allowing the reader to follow the thought of
Underhill, from the spiritual stocktaking theme for Ash Wednesday
to Easter Saturday's joyous anticipation of God's ultimate Gift.

greater confidence, increased success, and inspired openness to let
our "light shine" forth for others.

Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) has long been known as a great spiritual
master. His many works of prose and poetry are beginning to be more
accessible in translation in Western languages. They possess the
remarkable quality of being able to speak to people of all walks of
life and belief, across the apparent barrier of many centuries and
differing cultures. Despite this growing interest, the prayers
which are attributed to him remain little-known. They provide a
most precious glimpse into the real practice of the mystical life
within the Sufi tradition. This is the first time that any of Ibn
'Arabi's prayers have been published in another language. This
particular collection is one of the most beautiful, having been
revered in the Islamic world for centuries. There are fourteen
prayers, one for each day and night of the week. They include not
only the most astounding expressions of contemplation and devotion
to God, but also an unparalleled depth of knowledge of Union
(tawhid). As the translators show in their introduction, the very
structure of the prayers is a mode of contemplation, since for Ibn
'Arabi the weekly cycle itself is sacred. These prayers are
presented with notes and appendices.
Women who are facing the reality of widowhood are often connected
by a common thread of grief and uncertainty. "Hope for an Aching
Heart" offers encouragement to help readers handle the challenges
of each day with God's grace. Sharing from a widow's heart, the

of inspirational thoughts that motivate readers to draw closer to
God. This heartfelt and engaging devotional helps to broaden
women's understanding of the depth of God's love, His tender care,
and His promise to always be with them.
Designed to be read in 15-20 minutes a day, this liturgical
devotional guide will give readers focus and purpose in their daily
quiet time while teaching them historical prayers, creeds, and
catechisms that point them to Christ.

This incredible though little-known classic of Catholic
spirituality presents before the reader the entire school of true
Christian holiness and the means and exercises necessary to attain
sanctity. As no one shall enter Heaven who is not perfect, then if
we wish to attain to that perfection which will gain us entrance to
eternal happiness with The Blessed Trinity, with Jesus, with Our
Lady, St. Joseph and all the Saints and Angels, we need to start in
earnest and with a sure method to correct every aspect of our
lives. The Imitation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Fr. Peter
Arnoudt, S.J. is just such a "sure method" that the soul needs as a
guide to perfection. For it begins at the beginning and covers
every means at our disposal as Catholics, which we have and which
we need to perfect ourselves plus it covers every pitfall that we
face in the daunting task of attaining holiness.
