Psalms and Proverbs: A Spiritual Life Study Guide

Ligon-Borden, B. Lee

This book provides an understanding and practical application of the Spiritual Journey as presented by St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. The author uses his personal experience and insights provided by his spiritual director, who described the spiritual journey as a "spiral whereby we pass through the same spiritual regions several times at different levels while we move closer in union with Christ." He carefully explains elements of the spiritual journey that Christians will recognize in their own pilgrimage. The book examines landmarks in stages described as the pre-purgative way, the purgative way, the illuminative way, and the unitive way, providing explanations for many of the questions that baffle, and often defeat, Christians as they struggle to understand events in their lives that seemingly make no sense but that God is using to conform them to the image of Christ.

The Spiritual Journey: Mountain Tops, Dark Nights, and Dangerous Deceptions

Bishop Bill Atwood relates a few of the different instances when he has encountered the living Lord Jesus, which he says are more times than he can count. He explains how the Lord revealed Himself, made the impossible possible, or led him through complex and even dangerous places with astounding clarity. He explains that none of these encounters happened because he's special, but because Jesus is more special than be described or imagined. His hope is that the reader, too, will learn how to hear from Jesus Christ.

Journeys in Grace and Truth: Revisiting Scripture and Sexuality

A message that can no longer be ignored... Drawing on the personal experience of survivors of abuse and their allies, Letters to a Broken Church speaks directly into the existential abuse crisis facing the Church of England and other Christian denominations right now. Its powerful message is that the structures, leadership, practices and culture of the Church must change radically to face up to the historic scale of abuse within its institutions at all levels. The clear requirement for transparency and accountability after decades of evasion and denial is also highlighted in these essays, along with the need to make proper recompense to those whose lives have been impacted. Contributors to Letters to a Broken Church include a serving bishop, a well-known newspaper columnist, several theologians and others from public life -- but principally people in the shadows whose voices and experience as survivors have frequently been pushed aside, marginalised or silenced within the Church. Here is a searingly honest, multi-voice call for action and redress that can no longer be ignored.
