Carl McColman introduces Cistercian spirituality as "the hidden
jewel of the Church," presenting a surprisingly contemporary path
grounded in monastic tradition. This accessible and comprehensive
guide highlights a unique focus on simplicity, living close to the
earth, and contemplative prayer, all of which make Cistercian
spirituality relevant today. Hailed by reviewers of his many books
as playful, and profound, McColman draws on his experience as a lay
Cistercian to provide insight into the relevance of the tradition
to contemporary issues and spiritual practice. He explains how
silence, simplicity, stability, stewardship of the earth,
contemplation, ongoing conversion, and devotion to Mary combine to
offer a rich and unique path to discipleship and intimacy with God.
From the author of the new BIG BOOK OF CHRISTIAN MYSTICISM comes an
engaging look at how the principles and practices of Christian
mysticism are illustrated in C. S. Lewis's Narnia series.
Releasing to time with the third film in the blockbuster Narnia
series The Voyage of the Dawn Treader December 10, 2010!!
The Lion, The Mouse and The Dawn Treader shows the reader how
C. S. Lewis was guided by two "templates" in writing Dawn Treader:
first, an ancient Celtic folktale known as the immram, or wondrous
sea-voyage, in which great saints like Brendan the Navigator sought
to reach paradise itself. But on another level, Lewis also built
his adventure story around the traditional stages of the Christian
life: from initial resistance to God's grace, to discovering how
sin enslaves us and "turns us into dragons," to experiencing both
the relief found in Christ and the cleansing waters of baptism.
