Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In an easy, conversational style, the author, a nun for over forty years, gives readers the facts and fictions of the monastic life: how the choice is made; what lies behind the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience; the nuts and bolts of monastic calling; what monks and nuns do all day; how they support themselves; and why they live as they do.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. With increasing frequency, mainline Christians are challenged--by televangelists as well as by neighbors, friends, and coworkers--with the question: Are you saved? Not only are they stumped for an answer, but they may be unsure of exactly what salvation means. This book examines the concept of salvation in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the New Testament, showing readers that salvation, rather than simply the attainment of a faraway heaven in the afterlife, is also accomplished in the here-and-now through the Gospel of Jesus. In everyday language and an accessible, conversational tone, Saving Salvation helps Christians reach a deeper, more nuanced understanding of salvation than that provided by the dominant religious culture of our day. More than a heavenly reward for good behavior or right belief, Smith says, salvation is also the gift of God's abundant grace--through the love of family and friends, prayer, and service--in a Kingdom experienced here on earth. With its thorough grounding in Scripture, along with reflection questions posted on the Morehouse website, Saving Salvation will serve as an excellent resource for both individual, small group, and parish study.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When St. Benedict formed his first small community of monks at Monte Cassino on the hilltop, Italy--and much of Europe--was ravaged by war. The Roman Empire was breaking apart, and politics, cultural life, and even the Church, were all in disarray. In the midst of these tumultuous times, Benedict offered his followers a little rule, a guide about the size of a checkbook, that showed his monks the way to peace as they learned to prefer Christ above all things.Though it was written nearly 1500 years ago, the Rule of Benedict still offers the practical tools for living a Christ-centered today. Here in St. Benedict's Toolbox, readers will find a primer on how to use these tools in their own tumultuous lives. Each chapter examines one aspect of the Rule, from ways of praying to ways of embracing humility, and offers suggestions for prayer, reflection, journaling, and action. As they learn to use Benedict's tools, readers will discover the power--and the timeliness--of this ancient way of life.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is a book for people who are grieving, specifically for those who in their grieving are searching for answers to questions that might be called religious, for those who want to find hope when their world appears to be falling apart.A unique feature of the book is that it addresses those who grieve with the insights of two major traditions, Christianity and Judaism. These traditions assure those who grieve that they are not alone in their quest for insights, understanding, and meaning since both deal with such questions as: Are life and death part of a divine plan of reward and punishment? What kind of justice is it when some suffer and others die without pain? Must one accept death without kicking and screaming? Can we look forward to life after death? What is life after death like? How can a person move beyond grieving?The authors of this small book offer readers the opportunity to meet these age-old inquiries and to emerge with hope and acceptance in order to continue a meaningful life.Alan Weitzman is a Rabbi in the Reform movement in Judaism who has specialized in grief processes and is a grief counselor.…
