Maya Angelou is hailed as one of the great voices of contemporary
literature, having authored twelve best-selling books, including I
Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. In this slim volume the legendary
wisdom of this American poet, educator, historian, actress,
director, and civil-rights activist is clearly evident in her own
words. Editor Donna Schaper selects forty inspiring passages for
readers to ponder while taking a spiritual journey with Maya
Angelou. Such a journey may be made at any time but, as with other
titles in the 40-Day Journey series, is especially inspiring to
take in the seasons of Advent and Lent.
Walter Wink's writing has been described as brilliant, provocative,
passionate, and innovative. His skills in critical scholarship were
matched by an engaging and honest style that make his work a must
read for twenty-first century theologians and all who seek deeper
understanding at the intersection of Bible, theology, social
ethics, and more.
This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of
this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
Prayer is often identified by people of faith as of first
importance in the life of faith, at the same time, it is one of the
least understood and least consistently used of spiritual practices
among ordinary Christians. Prayer: A Primer, clears up
misconceptions and myths about prayer that often stand in the way
of actually praying, and offers the reader "a way in" to a life
grounded in and enriched by daily prayer. A variety of forms of
verbal prayer, meditation, and contemplation (or the prayer of
silence) are clearly described with the needs and questions of
beginners at prayer in mind. The book aims - through prayer - to
move beginners at prayer to a growing and deepening awareness of
God's presence in our complex and often morally ambiguous world.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
This volume provides access to selections from Martin Luther's
Table Talk, Volume 54 of Luther's Works. Editor Henry F. French has
carefully chosen some of the best of Luther's conversations with
many guests who frequented the dinner table in the home of Martin
and Katie Luther. Following the afternoon supper served at around 5
p.m. in the Luther household, guests ranging from exiled clergy,
escaped nuns, government officials, visitors from abroad, and
colleagues of Luther in the University stayed on in the rlaxed and
hospitable atmosphere to engage in spirited conversation. From 1531
till the year Luther died in 1546, colleagues and friends took
notes of the table conversations in the Luther home. Topics ranged
widely as Luther commented on his personal life and family; his
perspectives on theology, Scripture, and the life of faith; his
comments on political and social topics; and more. Almost no
current issue was "off the table." Those who read this book will
join the conversation with Luther and friends as they wrestle with
important questions of the day. Pull up a chair and join the
circle. Henry F. French has written a brief new preface to
introduce this abridged volume.
