Letters of the Faith Through the Seasons: A Treasury of Great Christians’ Correspondence by James M. Houston

James M. Houston

Thoughts/Words/Reviews:

If you want to follow a daily discipline of devotional reading — but want to be challenged daily to grow in faith and knowledge of the Lord and want that knowledge to have heart too — welcome to daily doses of wisdom from the greatest minds in Christian history. These letters help reorient readers from generalizations to particulars, from conventions to specific actions, from theory to practice, and from the profession of faith to the pulsating, living, inner, and intimate expressions and experiences of “walking with God,” and indeed, of “being open before God.”

Features and Benefits

  • A rare collection of devotional nuggets that will challenge the mature believer.
  • Letters are from great Christians throughout history such as Augustine, Leo the Great, John Newton and C. S. Lewis.
  • Each letter concludes with a Scripture Meditation, Thought for the Day, and Prayer.

Contemplating the Cross: A 40 Day Pilgrimage of Prayer by Tricia McCary Rhodes

Tricia McCary Rhodes

Thoughts/Words/Reviews:

Few times of year lend themselves to pilgrimage and contemplation like Easter. For forty days, Christians have before them the opportunity to examine their own path and compare it with the incredible journey undertaken by Christ, from the agony of the garden to the glory of the resurrection. By sharing her journey, Tricia Rhodes provides the tools to cultivate the cross within and the inspiration to accept the Father’s summons to kneel in its shadow. Scripture and daily exercises gently nourish the spiritual traveler, while journal pages wait to hold the story of personal reflection.

More encompassing than a devotional, more intimate than a mere yardstick of faith, Contemplating the Cross will become a treasured keepsake.

“May God touch your deepest soul and brand you with the fire of His devotion as you contemplate the cross of Christ.” Tricia Rhodes

Winter Flowers: And Other Signs of Redemption by Jo Kadlecek

Jo Kadlecek

Thoughts/Words/Reviews:

Even in the intricacy of creation we see the proclamation of God’s redeeming love at work. Jo Kadlecek pieces together a tapestry of essays that reveal God’s constant though sometimes innocuous works of reclaimation. These stories, many personal in nature, will inspire a new sensitivity to God’s work in this post-modern world.
