A comprehensive, fully illustrated overview of Christian spirituality from Jesus up to the present day. The contemplative tradition in Christianity traces its origins back to Mt. Carmel, the prophet Elijah's mountain-top place of encounter with divine power. In the Gospels, we frequently read that Jesus withdrew to quiet places to pray. These biblical precedents have inspired a tradition of contemplation through the centuries and this remarkable book reveals the life and teachings of the great spiritual teachers and Christian mystics, including St. John, Origen, St. Benedict, Julian of Norwich, St. John of the Cross, Meister Eckhart, and modern-day mystics like Thomas Merton, Simone Weil, Etty Hillesum, Bede Griffiths, and John Main. The contributors themselves offer an array of leading spiritual writers, including Laurence Freeman, Esther de Waal, Kallistos Ware, Shirley du Boulay, and many more.

Evangelization & Contemplation: The Gifts of Pope Francis and Saint Teresa By: Reverend Tracy O’Sullivan, O. Carm Over the centuries, indeed from the Gospel story of Martha and Mary (Lk. 10:38-42), Christians have struggled to integrate prayer and action. This book is a fresh look at the perennial problem in the context of evangelization and contemplation. In all things Christian and otherwise, the final measure of reality is how genuine is our experience God. This text looks to Pope Francis and St. Teresa of Avila for direction in the search for God and a balance in our prayer and action. These seemingly very different persons offer much clarity for our call to proclaim the Good News of a loving God to a world floundering in a search for meaning and direction. In both The Joy of the Gospel and The Interior Castle, we find a vast font of wisdom to guide us on our pilgrimage to God in the confusion and brokenness of our lives and of our world. Both the Jesuit Pope and the saintly Carmelite never tire of telling us to keep our eyes and our heart fixed on Jesus. Both agree that one of the major consequences of this continual encounter with Jesus will be a new and inviting awareness of the poor in our midst.

Drawing together scholars from fields of biblical studies, systematic theology, liturgics, and pastoral theology, In Praise of Worship questions an overemphasis on singing and music (alone) as worship in today's church. Whilst not minimizing moments of conscious and deliberate worship, the authors show that according to a close reading of Scripture and a clear understanding of theology, the whole of our lives is to be considered as worship-glorifying to the Lord who deserves such honor.

This book was derived through inspiration, research, and mostly the working of the Holy Spirit. Worship as a way of life was instituted from the foundations of this world and the worlds beyond. It was worship that inspired God to duplicate himself in definitive yet diminutive forms and create other beings beside himself. It was love that was the driving force behind the inspiration to create worshippers that propelled his desire for adoration. It is the heart of every living thing that creeps, crawls, or walks on this earth and other livable lands. Worship has been the source of healing and hurt, if abused mistreated or misused. Blasphemy is the contradicting attitude toward God in conflict and opposition to the idea of worship, reproaching deity. As is norm, the breaking sequence brings a consequence, so is the blasphemy of deity as I know it—Elohim. This book sheds light into deeper insights, truths, and candor into the existence and continuance of worship as the source and basis of happiness. Matthew 26:65 refers to Jesus, the author of worship, a blasphemer according to the Sanhedrin, sending him to his Crucifixion, death, burial, and Resurrection. The lack of insight of the Sanhedrin into his attributes and nature paradoxically brought about the consequence for defiance, reflecting the spiritual effects of rebellion and insolence. Some penalty came as sudden retribution; others, over time, became the cost of impudence and its audacity. Penitence (due process) is taught in this book as a system of redemption from the effects of insubordination as opposed to the means to the end, i.e., blasphemy! Enjoy the journey as the times of refreshing emanating from the throne of the Creator engulf you.
