Henri's Mantle (Paperback): Chris Glaser Henri's Mantle (Paperback)
Chris Glaser
R664 R593 Discovery Miles 5 930 Save R71 (11%) Ships in 10 - 17 working days

In biblical terms, mantle is the equivalent of legacy. Henri's Mantle takes its name from the mantle that fell from Elijah to Elisha, passing on spiritual strength and wisdom. Henri Nouwen's mantle consists of more than 40 books -- many on how to cultivate a spiritual life -- that he has passed on to his readers. Glaser, a student and friend of Nouwen for over 25 years, interprets Nouwen's sacred writings and presents 100 meditations on his words, in the hope that Nouwen's ministry will continue to thrive. Glaser covers a wide range of topics that will uplift and encourage spiritual seekers, and the result is a touching, accessible book on the inner struggles of the spiritual life.

Each meditation is divided into a portion of Nouwen's writings, a reflection on Nouwen's insights, and a brief prayer.

Coming Out as Sacrament (Paperback, 1st ed): Chris Glaser Coming Out as Sacrament (Paperback, 1st ed)
Chris Glaser
R646 R575 Discovery Miles 5 750 Save R71 (11%) Ships in 10 - 17 working days

Gay Christian author and activist Chris Glaser believes that sexual minorities, often denied their churches' traditional sacraments, have found unique access to the sacred in their lives: coming out of the closet. Glaser persuasively argues that coming out--as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered--has biblical precedence and sacramental dimensions. Using personal and biblical illustrations, he discusses coming out as an act of vulnerability, much like a sacrificial offering of ancient times, that invokes God's presence and effects atonement, or reconciliation. In this engaging book he shows how coming out, like other sacraments, may serve as a means of grace--that is, an experience of God's unconditional love.

Uncommon Calling - A Gay Christian's Struggle to Serve the Church (Paperback): Chris Glaser Uncommon Calling - A Gay Christian's Struggle to Serve the Church (Paperback)
Chris Glaser
R972 R876 Discovery Miles 8 760 Save R96 (10%) Ships in 10 - 17 working days

Chris Glaser describes his personal journey of coming out to his family, friends, church - and to himself. He tells the story of how the church reacted to his disclosure and his subsequent "uncommon" calling that led him to devote his professional life to reconciliation between the lesbian, gay, and bisexual community and the church. By openly and honestly telling his story, Glaser furthers his calling - demonstrating that lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals are not abstractions, but real people struggling to remain faithful. Gay Christians will recognize elements of their own stories in Glaser's narrative. And the whole church may discover its own uncommon calling to fully welcome all Christians into the family of faith.
