Instructions, order, riches, wisdom, causeless curses, money, good men leaving an inheritance for their children's children, foolishness, slothfulness, greed, drunkenness these are some of the topics that Bishop George Bloomer tackles in this walk through the book of Proverbs. "Will you walk with me?" he asks. There are 31 days in most months, just as there are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs: a word of wisdom every day, for 31 days. Thirty-one days from now can be "the beginning of the rest of your life." This devotional has changed the lives of others, and it can change yours, too
We tend to think of Christmas as a day-December 25-that is preceded by a season of commercials, sales, shopping, rushing, hurry, frustration, spending money, standing in lines, worrying, cooking, wrapping, more shopping, spending more money, going in debt, and lots more frustration. But it doesn't have to be this way. In the traditional church calendar Christmas Day was preceded by the season of Advent. This was a time of spiritual preparation, a time of getting ready for the Savior's birth. Perhaps we would do ourselves a favor to once again observe Advent as a time of anticipation and preparation for Christmas, and then have a time of more relaxed merriment afterwards. Want to give it a try? This book offers a series of meditations for Advent. Within these pages you will be able to enjoy the time leading up to Christmas as a period of introspection, anticipation, and joy. Here you will meet saints both ancient and modern, and learn lessons from their lives. You will be guided in how to slow down, learn to pause, and discover how to wait. You will be able to restore spirituality (and sanity) to the weeks before Christmas. And you can prepare yourself to truly rejoice that the Savior has come. We hereby invite you to join in The Journey to Christmas

This collection of sermons arises from the culture of an active parish life as a part of its usual worship routine. With over sixty sermons spanning Pre-Lent, all forty days of Lent, and the Sundays after Easter, this book now serves as an excellent daily devotion for both pastors and parishioners.

As Luther explains in his catechisms, preaching the Word brings the kingdom of heaven from Christ, through the Holy Spirit, to the individual, always pointing us to Christ and Him crucified, died, and risen.

George MacDonald was a many-faceted nineteenth-century writer-an ordained minister without a church, a popular lecturer, college professor, and most famously, the author nearly 50 books. From sermons to poetry, scholarly essays to novels, and fantasy romances to fairy stories, his writing often combines the flavor of the fantastic with a scent of the spiritual-all the while evincing wisdom based in reality. Rolland Hein, eminent MacDonald scholar, biographer, and editor of this anthology, aptly quotes from MacDonald's novel The Marquis of Lossie, "Life and religion are one, or neither is anything...." The selections from Through the Year with George MacDonald are proof of the unity of MacDonald's vision. They are also proof of the decades Dr. Hein has spent immersed in the writings of this remarkable author, compiling a devotional book that readers will return to many times over for inspiration. Many who are aware of C.S. Lewis's indebtedness to George MacDonald and, as a consequence, have desired to know this Scottish author better, will find this anthology to be the perfect way into his writings. Rolland Hein is a wise and accomplished guide to MacDonald, presenting readers with selections that speak engagingly of deep spiritual truths such as kindness, trust, obedience, holiness-and chief among these always, the unending love of God the Father for each one of His children. Indeed, in this volume you will encounter, as MacDonald compellingly demonstrates, 'life essential.' Marjorie Lamp Mead, Associate Director The Marion E. Wade Center, Wheaton College C.S. Lewis said of George MacDonald, "I know hardly any other writer who seems... closer... to the Spirit of Christ Himself." In this devotional book, renowned scholar Rolland Hein presents gems from the rich array of MacDonald's writings-a rare treasure for all who wish to walk beside one who practiced the presence of God. Monika B. Hilder, Associate Professor of English, Trinity Western University, author of The Feminine Ethos in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia Rolland Hein is professor emeritus at Wheaton College and the author of several books about George MacDonald.
