This book is a program of contemplative study and monastic formation offered for explorers who are between religions, those who have abandoned faith but yet seek, those who are interspiritual or multi-religious, or those who are rooted in their faith tradition and are on the edge of going deeper. This is both path and accompaniment for the journey, offering a contemplative frame and everyday spiritual practices for all who have a dawning sense that at the heart of all religious and spiritual traditions lies a truth-we have what we need inside each of us to co-create with God the embodiment of a sacred life on Earth. Included are spiritual practices, journal reflections, meditative exercises, and examples of a daily schedule, personal vow, rule of life, and ceremony of profession that stabilize andaffirm a new monastic way of life.

From the French Abbey of St Wandrille to the abandoned and awesome Rock Monasteries of Cappadocia in Turkey, the celebrated travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor studies the rigorous contemplative lives of the monks and the timeless beauty of their monastic surroundings. In his occasional retreats, the peaceful solitude and the calm enchantment of the monasteries was passed on as a kind of 'supernatural windfall' which A Time to Keep Silence so effortlessly records.

Poetry. "Observant, musical, coheres to nature; it's been a pleasure to read Jospeh Massey for some years now. A poetry pared down to the essential inside the world where language interacts with itself and becomes the landscape it emerges from. Musically tipped-in to a vigilant consciousness. Cool clear eye and careful ear make for distilled moments of the real. Making a whole from fragments: keeping the now always new."--Tom Pickard

This book is about silence and power and how they interact. It argues that only by studying how silence works-how it is implicated in the construction of meaning-can we arrive at the elusive roots of power in all its dimensions. Silence becomes the currency of power by delineating the margins or what we perceive and through a sleight of hand wherein behaviors undertaken in the service of self-interest appear instead as inevitable and devoid of human agency. The theoretical load of this argument is carried by vivid ethnographic material dealing with music, linguistic behavior, racial conflicts, work dislocations, and the construction of anthropological subjects and texts.

From the National Book Award–winning author of Underworld, a “daring…provocative…exquisite” (The Washington Post) novel about five people gathered together in a Manhattan apartment, in the midst of a catastrophic event. It is Super Bowl Sunday in the year 2022. Five people, dinner, an apartment on the east side of Manhattan. The retired physics professor and her husband and her former student waiting for the couple who will join them from what becomes a dramatic flight from Paris. The conversation ranges from a survey telescope in North-central Chile to a favorite brand of bourbon to Einstein’s 1912 Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity. Then something happens and the digital connections that have transformed our lives are severed. What follows is a “brilliant and astonishing…masterpiece” (Chicago Tribune) about what makes us human. Don DeLillo completed this novel just weeks before the advent of the Covid pandemic. His language, the dazzle of his sentences offer a kind of solace in our bewildering world. “DeLillo’s shrewd, darkly comic observations about the extravagance and alienation of contemporary life can still slice like a scalpel” (Entertainment Weekly). “In this wry and cutting meditation on collective loss, a rupture severs us, suddenly, from everything we’ve come to rely on. The Silence seems to absorb DeLillo’s entire body of work and sand it into stone or crystal.” —Rachel Kushner

In a world ever more congested and polluted with both toxins and noise, award-winning photographer Pete McBride takes readers on a once-in-a-lifetime escape to find places of peace and quiet—a pole-to-pole, continent-by-continent quest for the soul. We tend to think of silence as the absence of sound, but it is actually the void where we can hear the sublime notes of nature. In this National Outdoor Book Award winning work, photographer Pete McBride reveals the wonders of these hushed places in spectacular imagery—from the thin-air flanks of Mount Everest to the depths of the Grand Canyon, from the high-altitude vistas of the Atacama to the African savannah, and from the Antarctic Peninsula to the flowing waters of the Ganges and Nile. These places remind us of the magic of being “truly away” and how such places are vanishing. Often showing beauty from vantages where no other photographer has ever stood, this is a seven-continent visual tour of global quietude—and the power in nature’s own sounds—that will both inspire and calm.

But what if she has more to learn about herself and how far she is willing to push for what she believes in?

The addition of representation by a Deaf character was really beautifully done. Highly recommend for people looking for a sweet, engaging, and educational romantic read.” (YA and Kids Book Central)

In this groundbreaking new book by Gordon and Sandra Lawrence, the complex mysteries of Revelation are divided into SEVEN BASIC STAGES in an attempt to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of past history and future prophecy. It is the author's hope to paint a realistic picture of the second coming of Christ, and to prepare the next generation of Christians for inevitable persecution and unprecedented global crisis. Section 1, Chapters 1-4 provide critical background information: Israel, The Apple of God's eye; The Spirit of Amalek; Daniel, Man of Prophecy; The Olivet Discourse; Section 2, Chapters 1-7 outline the book of Revelation as follows: The Beginning of Birth Pangs; The Tribulation; Gathering His Church; The Wrath of God Begins; The Day of Atonement; The Millennium; The New Jerusalem; Lawrence addresses what he calls 'the great theological debate of the 21st century': the issue of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture vs the Pre-Wrath rapture of the Church. The Day of Atonement chapter provides unique scriptural insight called: The Journey of the Mighty Angel. The author describes this book as: expositional, encyclopedic and editorial. The reader will delight, perhaps for the first time, in learning the systematic progression of events that break the code of end-time mystery. Be prepared to learn new truth from the pages of scripture. A great tool for small group study!
