Featured Titles:

 

The Alchemist — Paulo Coelho Selected by Jacquelyn VanWeelden, Parish Coordinator      "A story about a boy in search of his destiny, this book will remind you that every day is full of wonder, every little thing its own tiny miracle. To acknowledge and follow your dreams is to encounter God and be connected to the universe."

Jesus and the Disinherited — Howard Thurman Selected by the Rev. Zack Rugenstone     "Jesus and the Disinherited flipped my understanding of the context that Jesus had growing up. Dr. Howard Thurman understands the identity of Jesus and His context in a way that brings the story of Jesus to life around us in real time, and how we are to love those who may be different from ourselves."

Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith & Art — Madeline L'Engle Selected by David Sinden, Organist & Director of Music     "Madeline L'Engle's wide-ranging, heartfelt essays get to the intersection of creativity and the Divine imagination like nothing else I know."

In the Spirit of Happiness — The Monks of New Skete Selected by The Rev. Dr. Nathan Haydon The elements of a monk's life -- self-discipline, solitude, prayer, acts of love and forgiveness -- are pathways that anyone can follow to achieve true happiness and spiritual fulfillment. Reading In the Spirit of Happiness, “is like taking a monastic retreat in book form,” says the Rev. Dr. Nathan Haydon.
