Shaped by the Word: The Power of Scripture in Spiritual Formation

M. Robert, Jr. Mulholland

Upper Room Books, 2001

Offers needed medicine to our souls
Quite rich - I just finished reading this book twice in the last week. A few chapters are a little dry in the middle, but otherwise a very fabulous work that completely overshadows the two tedious chapters; where he is laying some ground work. A very well-explained description of spiritual formation and description of spiritual disciplines. The chapter on doing/being as it relates to disciplines ...

Combining ancient practices of faith with contemporary realities, it offers an invitation for us to try something new, deliberate and life-giving. As a ...

A Guide to Prayer for All Who Seek God

Simply love it!
This has quickly become a part of my daily devotional reading. The format allows for it to be used as a mini-worship service. To date, however, I have primarily used it for suggested scripture readings and the wonderful readings from various sources accompanying each weeks program. I like the pattern of multiple, brief readings versus a single long offering.

Creativity And Divine Surprise: Finding the Place of Your Resurrection

Waking the slumbering creative spirit
If you ever thought you might have an interest in art, or if you never did, this book will open your eyes to the creativity that lies within you. The author is an artist but she writes for a much wider audience, comparing the artistic process to the spiritual journey. The last time I played with watercolors was 1977, but author Kincannon so inspired me that I signed up for a watercolor class and ...

Richard Lyon Morgan

Upper Room Books, 2002

Helpful for finding story in one's life at midlife
We used REMEMBERING YOUR STORY during a 10 week class in Midlife Transitions. Some of the group were experiencing changes in marriage, others in job, and still others with illness issues. Morgan's book helped us all to find the golden thread, the "story" in our lives which not only helped discern our pattern, but also gave directions for the changes which we face, Excellent book for group ...

The Godbearing Life: The Art of Soul Tending for Youth Ministry

12 reviews
Kenda Creasy Dean, Ron Foster

Upper Room Books, 1998

Excellent Read for Youth Ministers!
This book, more than any other I have read to date, describes the changes that must take place as youth ministry enters the 21st century. The authors focus upon the necessity of having spiritual, youth relationships rather than just social, youth recreation. The crying need today is for churches to minister as only they can do to the emptiness young people face in their lives. Rather than ...

Hearing God
Have you ever wanted to hear from God and just felt stuck? Has it ever confused you to hear someone talk about "hearing the voice of God?" If you are interested in a practical guide to interacting with the living God, then this is the book for you. This is not a book filled with quick fixes to your problems or easy solutions to the decision making process. What this book does provide is ...

Beatitudes Review
This workbook has been an excellent study selection for the small group I facilitate. The content is easy to read, easy to understand, and the study questions are thought provoking and insightful.

Heart Whispers: Benedictine Wisdom for Today

Elizabeth Canham

Upper Room Books, 1999

Benedictine Spirituality Made Contemporary
Most people find spirituality a wonderful concept, but they suspect that it is difficult to practice spirituality in the midst of ordinary daily concerns. Elizabeth Canham offers a wisdom of spirituality that is grounded in the classic practices of Benedict, and she helps readers understand that the spiritual practices described by the 6th century Benedict were intended for ordinary working ...

Prayer, Stress, and Our Inner Wounds

Prayer, Stress & Our Inner Wounds
If meditation, or even centering prayer, is a frustrating experience either because you're not disciplined enough or you're too perfectionistic about it, this book offers an alternative. It's the most practical book about prayer that I've read and is immensely reassuring. Chapter Two, "The Prayer That Nurtures," is a short chapter worth the (already modest) price of the book alone.

The Workbook of Living Prayer

Upper Room Books, 1994

The #1 book for getting started in a serious prayer life.
This notebook has been in print for 20 years, and has sold almost 500,00 copies. It is the best book I've ever seen for getting started in a serious prayer life. It is intended to be used in a small group setting for a six week study. It asks that you read only one page a day, and spend 25 minutes reading, making notes in the book and praying. If you don't take the time each day to do what it ...

Stretch Out Your Hand: Exploring Healing Prayer

4 reviews
Tilda Norberg, Robert D. Webber

Upper Room Books, 1999

Should Get Six Stars!
This book brought a turnabout to my thinking about healing and health and prayer. A friend gave the book to me after a long conversation about prayer and the television preachers who wave their hands and magically heal people. I still don't think much of those charlatans on television, but the book by Norberg and Webber talks about healing in a variety of ways, the least as physical. They ...

Wrestling with Grace is a handbook for the valley, a guide to being a blessing in the world even in the midst of life's challenges.

Family the Forming Center

Marjorie J. Thompson

Upper Room Books, 1997

A must read for parents and pastors!
As a pastor I have come to understand just how important the spiritual practices in the home are to forming faith in children. I place it higher than any program we do at the church. This is an excellent resource for helping parents with their role in nurturing a life of faith and I have begun to have extra copies available in our Foyer for parents.

A Mile In My Shoes: Cultivating Compassion

1 review
Trevor Hudson

Upper Room Books, 2005

Great little book on cultivating compassion
I really like this little book. Hudson serves on the pastoral team at Northfield Methodist Church in Benoni, South Africa. The book is primarily about cultivating compassion but I believe it has much to say about spiritual formation and living a missional life as well. In chapter one Hudson describes the birth of a Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope, an eight day pilgrimage experience for his largely ...

Creating a Life With God: The Call of Ancient Prayer Practices

Daniel Wolpert

Upper Room Books, 2003

Authentic Christian spirituality with breadth and depth
Having read a number of books on Christian Spirituality over the last few years, I can't think of one single book that does as good a job as this book in both introducing a number of significant prayer practices and doing so with such vibrancy and depth. It is obvious that Daniel Wolpert has a feel for this subject that is born of broad and deep experience in both using these practices himself ...

Anchoring Your Well Being: Christian Wholeness in a Fractured World

2 reviews
Howard John Clinebell

Upper Room Books, 1997

Wholeness Bible
A big YESSSSS for this book even though it is not a book to sit down and read anymore than I would sit down and read any other encyclopedia. Clinebell shakes up a lot of wholeness arguments by writing about the environment as well as about people. He is convinced that individuals do not receive healing or wholeness unless the earth is healed. He writes about pollution and the effects of ...
