First published in 1937, Letters by a Modern Mystic is a
compilation of excerpts from letters Christian missionary Frank C.
Laubach wrote to his father. Within them, Laubach shares his
findings of the greatest experiment of his life: attempting to live
in moment-by-moment communication with God. Short, simple and
extraordinarily powerful, this little book offers a profoundly
challenging but life-changing way of living. Laubach's letters are
thoughtful and honest, documenting his failings and struggles with
this spiritual discipline - but also showing the joy, wonder and
transformation he experienced by connecting with God and living in
communion with him every minute of the day. Easy to read and full
of wisdom, Letters by a Modern Mystic is essential reading for
anyone seeking to deepen their connection with God or wanting to
make their spiritual formation part of their everyday life. With a
foreword by Pete Grieg show its continued relevance for today, it
will challenge you to see that it is possible to live in communion
with God in every moment and change the way you approach your
faith. Included at the back of this book is 'The Game with
Minutes', the practical guide Laubach developed to assist others in
applying the principles and spiritual practices in his letters. It
is a game that has transformed countless lives - and it is time for
a new generation to play.
Liturgies for Hope expresses eloquently the collective ache felt by
many in modern society today - burnout, anxiety, daily stresses -
and reminds us how important it is to turn our focus outwards, to
each other and importantly, to our ever-loving God. Born during the
Covid pandemic, authors Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore asked
each other: what can we, lovers of words, create to defy the
darkness? Inspired by Christian liturgies-a type of prayer-poem-
they created Liturgies for Hope, resolving to offer something more
beautiful and trustworthy in response to the world around them.
Deeply uplifting, this beautiful collection of 60 comforting
prayers for modern life will help readers speak to the God who
knows them, supports them, and see that whatever their
circumstances there is always more hope to be had.
From devastating natural disasters to deadly highway accidents,
tragedies occur every day around the world and in our own lives. As
we face death, grief, loss, we become angry and our faith is tested
as we ask, "Is God really in control?"Navigator author Jerry
Bridges helps answer that question positively in this topical Bible
study, offering comfort and hope by exploring the greater purposes
and character of God.- Includes discussion questions- Can be used
by men, women, and teens
In 1969, the writer and her husband set off for what is intended to
be a short holiday in Ibiza and end up taking the so-called hippie
route to Katmandu in Nepal. It is the true account, written first
as a journal and then daily, by a woman who takes this journey
without preparation, planning or travel agent and before the
instant communication of mobiles, tablets and email. In this fresh
and engrossing account of a journey taken nearly 50 years ago from
Europe to Asia, Carol Carlton vividly describes a world which has
changed dramatically in the decades since; as she travels, an inner
journey emerges as the landscape, people and the journey itself
have their effect upon the writer. This book is a must-read for
readers who are interested in travel and also for those who see
life as an adventure, not only through what we do, but how we view
the world, who we are and who we become. What emerges from this
wonderfully described travel account is an approach to the unknown
in the widest sense through life's journey. While their wanderings
lead them into many kinds of hardships and dangers, it seems as if
their spirit of open-heartedness itself keeps them safe from the
unexpected risks that present themselves. At the same time, it
reveals how this spirit of innocent curiosity allows people from
many countries, religions and ways of life to reveal their
innermost convictions and feelings to her. Nowhere is this more
poignant than in Syria.
