Beauty in the Ordinary illuminates the spiritual significance, the existential ambiguity, and the profound beauty of ordinary life. A richly illustrated collection of daily readings and accompanying reflections written by the late Rev. Samuel Johnson Lindamood Jr., Beauty in the Ordinary communicates Big Sam's playful, realistic, humane, and deeply hopeful perspective on modern life. Love and death, forgiveness and friendship, suffering and hope: Lindamood addresses life's ultimate concerns in his friendly, down-to-earth, and refreshingly honest voice. The book is ideal for Lent or any other season dedicated to spiritual and personal growth. After you've worked through the daily meditations, keep the book on your coffee table to share the amazing photographs with others. During his life, Sam's compassion and wisdom were a profound blessing to his family, friends, and church community; now, through Beauty in the Ordinary, the same compassion and wisdom will be a blessing to anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual journey.

An expansive alternative for those who have struggled with the "higher power" of AA's 12-step program, Higher and Friendly Powers offers a sense of human decency, moral ideals, and even a better version of oneself. In Higher and Friendly Powers, Peg O'Connor addresses an audience much like herself: those in recovery who have struggled with the Christian-centric God at the heart of Alcoholics Anonymous. She brings our attention to a little-known fact: the term "higher power," a touchstone in the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, was coined by William James, philosopher, psychologist, and intellectual giant of the early 20th century. By acting as our personal field guide through the world of William James, Peg shows that "higher power" as James conceived it is far more expansive than we might imagine. The book, which combines Peg's deep personal wisdom with James's adventurous intellect, has the power to transform the way we live.

Meridian¿is a collection of poems that reflects the poet's deep and abiding love affair with the natural world. The poems draw on the alchemy that binds the visible and the invisible, capturing moments with people, places, and things that cannot be reduced and therefore diminished. Written over a span of years, the poems reflect the author's ongoing fascination with things that can be perceived but neither measured nor explained in surface conceptions. The two pieces that bookend this collection feature a mysterious hum, and that thread traces its way through the collection as a whole: the early poems begin with abstract ideas about time and binary thinking, subsequently widening the frame to explore the poet's expansive sense of humankind and her engagement with nature. With an architect's eye, she shapes these poems to meet the varied contexts from which they arose, opening to us a vision of creation that seeks to engage readers with a sense of wonder and invite them into the spacious embrace of gratitude.
