| | Cloister Talks: Learning from My Friends the Monks
Jon M. Sweeney
Retail Price: $12.99
CBD Price: $6.99
Buy 24 or more for $6.64 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
"We can show you how to be quiet, how to listen, but only God can show you the other stuff," Father Ambrose told Jon Sweeney long ago. "What stuff?" he replied. "You."
This is just one of the many conversations Sweeney shares in Cloister Talks-a series of glimpses into his decades-long friendships with Cistercian and Benedictine monks in various monasteries across the country. The contemplative way embodied by these communal brothers has been the single greatest source of guidance in Sweeney's journey of faith. Here he shares with poignant honesty the wisdom and insight for everyday living he has gained along the way. Readers will emerge with a deeper understanding of this ancient way of Christianity (stillness, solitude, simplicity, contemplation, and clarity of purpose) -a much needed antidote to the hurry of contemporary life.

| | The Orthodox Heretic and Other Impossible Tales
Peter Rollins
Retail Price: $19.99
CBD Price: $14.99
Buy 40 or more for $14.24 each.
( Only 1 in stock - order soon before they are gone! )
Excerpt
Peter Rollins believes the Christian faith has meaning only if it affects the way that followers of Jesus live their lives. For many who are not Christians, a "faith" otherwise would appears all-too commonplace and no different than anything else. In the The Orthodox Heretic Rollins has crafted a series of parables that shatter these commonplace realities and demonstrate how genuine faith is radical-and has never been concerned with escaping the world we inhabit, but rather, engaging it more fully. A genuine Christian faith has never capitulated to injustice but to the contrary has fought against it at every turn. In opposition to those who would claim that Christianity embraces God at the expense of a suffering world, Rollins shows how the true believer only embraces God inasmuch as he fully embraces our needy world.

Graham Ward

Excerpt
Coming Soon!
This fourth addition to the Church and Postmodern Culture series, written by internationally acclaimed theologian Graham Ward, examines the political side of postmodernism to better describe the characteristics of a faithful, political discipleship. In two sections, Ward provides an accessible guide to contemporary postmodernism with its wide-ranging implications. He then elaborates on a discipleship informed by a faith which seeks understanding - something he describes as "the substance of the church's political life." The Politics of Discipleship is an engaging account of the inherently political nature of postmodernity infused Ward's elaboration on what it means to live our Christian faith within this setting.

| | Fasting: The Ancient Practices
Scot McKnight
Retail Price: $17.99
CBD Price: $13.99
Buy 24 or more for $13.29 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Is the practice of faith centered solely on the spirit? Can the body actually play a role in our pursuit of God? In Fasting, Dr. Scot McKnight reconnects the spiritual and the physical through the discipline of fasting. The act of fasting, he argues, should not be focused on results or used as a manipulative tool. It's a practice to be used in response to sacred moments, just as it has in the lives of God's people throughout history. McKnight gives us Scriptural accounts of fasting, along with practical wisdom on benefits and pitfalls, when we should fast, and what happens to our bodies as a result.

With the depth of theological expertise and broad perspective he has gained as a pastor, writer, and as a leader of this movement, Jones invites readers into the Emergent conversation and offers a new way forward for Christians in a postmodern world. With journalistic narrative as well as authoritative reflection, he provides fascinating examples and first hand stories that mark this new and revitalized incarnation of Christianity.
