Wonderful Introduction to the Spirituals!
This is a wonderful introduction to the beautiful art form, the Spiritual. Bryan's selection is broad and include familiar tunes along with those not so widespread. The colors are inviting and seem to dance along with the melodic melodies of the notes.

simply stated... REQUIRED READING
In the preface of the book the author states, "The author feels that many of the insights were given him by the personal ministry of the Holy Spirit through the Word." ...to this I could not agree more. Outside of the Bible, this was one of the most enlightening books (if not the most) I have ever read concerning SO MANY vital aspects of a Christian's walk with God. In a nutshell, the author ...

Believing In Place: A Spiritual Geography Of The Great Basin

University of Nevada Press, 2003

Joseph Campbell meets Barry Lopez
This book held my attention and is a rich experience in the geography, history, comparative religion and spirituality of the Great Basin. If the mythologist Joseph Campbell sat down with the poet Barry Lopez the resulting discussion might look a lot like this book. Yet the book is richer than such a discussion because of Francaviglia's rich nuances and deeply personal take on the Great Basin. ...

Bethany House, 2005

Be still and know that I am God
A friend gave me this book as a gift, and I love it! Each set of pages has a few scriptures, a small prayer and a 'devotional' (which I usally skip honestly). To find a quiet place every day and to meditate on one or two scriptures is a good place to start. Through reading this book I am getting a better understanding of God's personal love for ME.

an innovative way to read the Gospels
This is a wonderfully readable book that should appeal to a number of different audiences. It is an excellent way for people searching for a deeper understanding of Sacred Scripture, particularly the Gospels, but who are not looking for an overly scholarly approach or academic explanation of the text. There are several layers to the writing that in other hands could have proved awkward and ...

Brendan - Reissue

ANOTHER GEM FROM FREDERICK BUECHNER
This is the third of Buechner's works I have read, and I have loved and devoured them all. The author takes us breathtakingly into the life and times of Brendan, a 6th century Irish saint -- Brendan the Navigator, as he is known by many. The language, imagery and power of this novel is astonishing. Brendan's story is related here by his long-time friend and travelling companion Finn -- ...
