Christian Focus Publications Ltd Daily Readings – William Wilberforce
Book SynopsisWilliam Wilberforce is probably best known as the leader of the parliamentary campaign for the abolition of the slave trade in the United Kingdom. But behind his heart for justice lay a commitment and desire to serve God that permeated not only his life, but also his writings. Michael D. McMullen has worked extensively on the life and manuscripts of Wilberforce and has carefully selected these daily readings to help readers not only know the man better, but also to point their eyes to the God whom he served. Taken from his spiritual journals and his one published book, as well as his unpublished works, letters and recorded reflections on scriptures, we meet in these writings a man who is introspective and self–deprecating, believing he fell far short of the standards expected of a Christian. But his devotion and love for the God who called him to be an ‘Agent of Usefulness’ is abundantly clear. These words that he wrote to challenge and encourage himself will do the same for a new generation of readers.Trade ReviewWilliam Wilberforce is known as the leader of the Evangelicals in parliament who were responsible for the abolition of the British slave trade. Blessed with a sunny personality, he was also a genuinely humble man who laid out his inner thoughts in written musings on his faith. Michael McMullen has selected some of the best of them as daily readings. Each extract is given under a verse from scripture, the source of his reflections. -- David Bebbington (Professor of History, University of Stirling, Stirling)What a wonderful addition to Kevin Belmonte’s fine books! I can’t recommend his work highly enough. -- Michael D. McMullenWe can benefit greatly from taking unhurried time to reflect on these daily extracts. May our desire be as Wilberforce’s expressed in this book: ‘I would grow in grace, and labour to live a life more honourable to God and more useful to man.’ -- Marylynn Rouse (Director, John Newton Project)What a wonderful opportunity we now have daily to be getting to know Wilberforce through his letters and writings… I am grateful to Professor McMullen for this service to the church. -- Ben Virgo (Director, Christian Heritage London)What a gem this is and what thanks we owe Prof McMullen for his fine editorial skills. -- Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)Michael McMullen has done us a huge favour in making Wilberforce’s devotional reflections into a devotional source for us all. William Wilberforce was a man who had a real faith in Jesus that worked itself out in all of life. I pray these daily readings may inspire that same integrated faith in us all. -- Jago Wynne (Rector of Holy Trinity Clapham, London)

Rowman & Littlefield Mystical Hope: Trusting in the Mercy of God
Book SynopsisAt a time when people are yearning for good news, Cynthia Bourgeault’s new book invites us to find our way to the hope that does not disappoint or fail. In our usual way of looking at things, hope is tied to outcome: “I hope I get this job” or “I hope my mother gets well.” The Bible introduces us to a different kind of hope that has its source not in events but in the mercy of God, a lifeblood of compassion connecting our heart to God’s heart and the heart of all creation. In five interwoven meditations, Mystical Hope shows how to recognize this hope in our own lives, where it comes from, how to deepen it through prayer, and how to carry it into the world as a source of strength and renewal. Mystical Hope is one of our series of Cowley Cloister Books: smaller format, gift edition books designed for meditative and devotional reading.Trade ReviewThis is a grace-filled book for those who are learning to swim in the deep waters of God’s mercy and love—waters in which we already swim but hardly know it. Cynthia Bourgeault shows us the road to a deep and lasting hope -- Alan W. Jones, Dean Emeritus, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco; author of Soul MakingIt is unusual to encounter a book that brings together to this degree metaphysical depth, practical spirituality, and sparkling writing. True to the dynamic of the spiritual life, Cynthia Bourgeault follows the path of hope inward to the center and then back outward to the world. -- Bruno Barnhart, OSB Cam.Dr. Bourgeault, an experienced guide to centering prayer, offers some profound and amazing insights into an inner joy that can be found in the midst of personal disappointment. She reveals friendship as living together in hope, which she experiences as God’s ‘warm-heartedness.’ -- Beatrice BruteauCompelling! This is the one book I asked the entire parish to read, and it has initiated us into the deepest part of our spiritual vision of how to live with meaning with one another. Provocative and insightful, this book partners the head and heart in such a way that real transformation in daily living is not simply a possibility, but the longing from which one cannot escape. Ms. Bourgeault has captured a sense of Wisdom here that brings the Teacher into the lived moment. Hope and Mercy are no longer marginalized words, lost in an over-worked and trite lexicon of simplicity. They bounce and dance with life, and make sense for practicing this great faith we so desperately seek. -- David E. Stringer, Rector, All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Corpus Christi, TXThis is a lovely little book that invites the reader to undertake an inner journey that can be transformative if one gives oneself to its demands. [Mystical Hope] remains a thought-provoking book likely to be of interest to those who practice centering prayer as well as to those who are serious seekers after God. In a time when hope is frequently threatened and is seemingly more necessary than ever, it is good to hear her encouraging words: ‘. . . hope, the hidden spring of mercy deep within us . . . flows out from the center; . . . we discover within ourselves the mysterious plentitude to live into action what ordinary hearts and minds could not possible sustain. -- M. Zita Wenker, OSB * Cistercian Studies Quarterly *A highly condensed book by an experienced guide to the practice of Centering Prayer as taught by Fr. Thomas Keating. The book will be of enduring interest to mature meditators seriously committed to contemplative prayer. * Schola *In this illuminating volume on the dynamics of hope, Bourgeault suggests a new way of envisioning this Christian virtue that plays a major role in the Biblical account of God's dealings with humankind. . . . The author challenges the church ‘to become a sign of hope in a broken world,’ to walk the talk of love, compassion, forgiveness, and compassion. * Values and Visions Reviews Service *This short book is easily read, but putting its teaching into practice is the work of a lifetime and I, for one, will be happy to spend the rest of my life in practicing what Cynthia Bourgeault so gracefully preaches. * Salt, The Monthly Newsletter Of The Anglican Parish Of Salt *Mystical Hope is an inviting, warmhearted, and reflective introduction to Christian mysticism....Bourgeault's book beautifully balances teaching with illuminatingly illustrative autobiographical anecdotes. -- H.

SPCK Publishing Finishing Well
Book Synopsis'God's purpose for us is to show, as we get older, that he gives us his strength and, through our experiences of him, his wisdom,' says Ian Knox. 'God is not finished with us. In our later years we are not only to be blessed, but to be a blessing and bring a blessing.'Trade ReviewFinishing Well is an excellent read; enjoyable, accessible and comforting, with the constant reminder of what the Bible says about older age, and the plans God has for His people. As we are reminded of how God sees later life, we have so much to gain in our own lives as well as our churches and wider communities. This book will both inform and engage, and I commend it to you. * Carl Knightly, Chief Executive, Faith in Later Life. *Ian Knox’s wealth of wisdom, experience and research are all encapsulated in this book. In reaching out to those in later life we touch God’s heart and so does this book. It deserves to be read by every Christian. * Terry Puttick, Field Director, London City Mission *For some, this book could prove to be life-changing. Ian Knox has provided us with both an encouraging and challenging manuscript for those exploring one of the big questions of life, "How do I finish well?" * Steve Clifford, former General Director, Evangelical Alliance *Christian Churches, people and charities are conspicuously active in working with older people. Accessible to leaders and doers, this book is a vital call to set this activity in the biblical context of older age so that it can be of eternal significance. * Stephen Hammersley, Chief Executive, Pilgrims’ Friend Society *Ian Knox has written a book about aging that is full of wisdom and wit, from a global perspective, and redolent with Scripture. Thankfully, most of us will grow old (the alternative, as Ian notes, is to die young) and this book helps us approach that with hope and courage and purpose. He also writes as one who is arriving there himself, and so is mercifully short on glib responses to the challenges that come with the final stages of life. * Rev’d Dr Paul Goodliff, General Secretary, Churches Together in England *

Baker Publishing Group The Great Sex Rescue – The Lies You`ve Been
Book SynopsisWhat if it's not your fault that sex is bad in your marriage? Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign. The Great Sex Rescue pulls back the curtain on what is happening in Christian bedrooms and exposes the problematic teachings that wreck sex for so many couples--and the good teachings that leave others breathless. In the #metoo and #churchtoo era, not only is this book a long overdue corrective to church culture, it is poised to free thousands of couples from repressive and dissatisfying sex lives so that they can experience the kind of intimacy and wholeness God intended.

Rowman & Littlefield Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening
Book SynopsisPractitioners of Centering Prayer are known for the great enthusiasm they bring to the practice of this ancient discipline. Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening is a complete guidebook for all who wish to know the practice of Centering Prayer. Cynthia Bourgeault goes further than offering an introduction, however. She examines how the practice is related to the classic tradition of Christian contemplation, looks at the distinct nuances of its method, and explores its revolutionary potential to transform Christian life. The book encourages dialogue between Centering Prayer enthusiasts and those classic institutions of Christian nurture—churches, seminaries, and schools of theology—that have yet to accept real ownership of the practice and its potential.Trade ReviewIt is amazing how confirming, clarifying, and encouraging Cynthia Bourgeault's teaching is. Probably the best on practical prayer I have ever read. -- Richard Rohr, OFM, author of Everything BelongsThis book will be inspiring, clear, and helpful to those who look well into it. -- Philip C. Fischer * Review For Religious *Every page of this book contains profound but accessible spiritual teaching and wisdom for living. * The Anglican Journal *Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening is a superb book, a wonderfully accessible introduction to Centering Prayer and the role it can play in your own ‘salvation unto eternity.’ Highly recommended for all who are on a spiritual path of any sort. -- Ken Wilber, author of The Eye of SpiritBourgeault’s prophetic voice points the way to restore harmony, dignity, and depth to our lived Christian community. * The Anglican Journal *Cynthia Bourgeault's book is a must-read. . . . Her simple and clear explanations of the contemplative process so apparently based in her own experience re-ignited my own yearning to live a deeply God-centered life and renewed my commitment to the practice. -- Anne Simpkinson, co-author, Soul Work: A Field Guide for Spiritual Seekers
