Book SynopsisChristianity Today 2023 Book Award Finalist (Bible & Devotional) Sheltering Mercy helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms--through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns--as a guide to personal devotion and meditation. The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Whitaker Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. While each prayer corresponds to a particular psalm and touches on its themes and ideas, it is not a new translation of the Psalms or an attempt to modernize or contextualize their content or language. Rather, the prayers are responses to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life. This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and beautiful hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.Table of ContentsContentsIntroductionPsalm 1: River TreePsalm 2: Lord of NationsPsalm 3: Heralds of UngracePsalm 4: Architect of SalvationPsalm 5: The House of GodPsalm 6: God of the LivingPsalm 7: Shield and ShadowPsalm 8: Fashioned from ChaosPsalm 9: Native TonguePsalm 10: Until Evil EndsPsalm 11: The Path to JoyPsalm 12: The Story of MercyPsalm 13: A Voice in the DarkPsalm 14: The Side of the RedeemedPsalm 15: A Hill of the HeartPsalm 16: God of the FeastPsalm 17: Justice PleaPsalm 18: The Dawning of the DayPsalm 19: Night and DayPsalm 20: The Blessing of ChristPsalm 21: Heir of GodPsalm 22: Stripped of GloryPsalm 23: Further Up and Further InPsalm 24: A Fountain Running OverPsalm 25: A Hypocrite HymnPsalm 26: Cloaked in GracePsalm 27: Light and LifePsalm 28: Wind and WordPsalm 29: Living WordPsalm 30: Drawn from Death's DoorPsalm 31: Covenant KeeperPsalm 32: The Face of MercyPsalm 33: The Sound of JoyPsalm 34: Illumined by LifePsalm 35: Strong LordPsalm 36: Patient ChrysalisPsalm 37: You Are WisdomPsalm 38: Shattered PortraitPsalm 39: Saved by GracePsalm 40: A Testimony to SalvationPsalm 41: You See the PoorPsalm 42: Seized by LongingPsalm 43: Christ Who SavesPsalm 44: Broken FamilyPsalm 45: In UnionPsalm 46: The One Safe PlacePsalm 47: Blessed TrinityPsalm 48: King of New JerusalemPsalm 49: Your TruthPsalm 50: Grounded by GratitudePsalm 51: Restorer of Broken ThingsPsalm 52: How Long?Psalm 53: Any One of UsPsalm 54: Living SacrificePsalm 55: Open HeartPsalm 56: When Strength FailsPsalm 57: These Rival PowersPsalm 58: Marketplace of IdolsPsalm 59: Deliver Me from EvilPsalm 60: Rebuilder of RuinsPsalm 61: Journey HomePsalm 62: Quiet WhisperPsalm 63: Good and Sustaining GodPsalm 64: God Will JudgePsalm 65: UnrestrainedPsalm 66: God of All ThingsPsalm 67: Praise, Praise, PraisePsalm 68: At Last!Psalm 69: The Name That SavesPsalm 70: Lord over Death and DarknessPsalm 71: Always an EdenPsalm 72: A Prayer for Those in PowerPsalm 73: This Place We MeetPsalm 74: Remember UsPsalm 75: The Times of Your Knowing

Book SynopsisHebrew University Professor Emeritus and Israel Prize recipient Eliezer Schweid (1929-2022) is widely regarded as one of the greatest historians of Jewish thought of our era. In Siddur Hatefillah, he probes the Jewish prayer book as a reflection of Judaism's unity and continuity as a unique spiritual entity; and as the most popular, most uttered, and internalized text of the Jewish people. Schweid explores texts which process religious philosophical teaching into the language of prayer, and/or express philosophical ideas in prayer’s special language – which the worshipper reflects upon in order to direct prayer, and through which flows hoped-for feedback. With the addition of historical, philological, and literary contexts, the study provides the reader with first-time access to the comprehensive meaning of Jewish prayer—filling a vacuum in both the experience and scholarship of Jewish worship.Table of ContentsTranslator’s AcknowledgementsTranslator’s Introduction: Eliezer Schweid as Worshipper in the State of IsraelAuthor’s Preface: My Path to the Jewish Prayer Book (Siddur Hatefillah)Introduction: The Siddur (Jewish Prayer Book): Its Sources, Goal, and Theological Basis Worship of God and the Process of the Sacred Congregation’s Formation and Expression Prayer as a Form of Primal Expression of the Human Soul Torah and Prayer: The Problem of Love and Sin in the Relations between God and the Human Being The “Name and Kingship” Blessing as the Fundamental Rubric of Standing before God in Prayer Establishing the Covenant of Faith between the Individual Human Being and His God Principles of Faith Keriyat Shema—Covenant of Love between God and His People The Poetics of the Shema and the Shemoneh Esrei The Shemoneh Esrei Prayer: The Kedushah (Sanctification) and Ḥaninat Hada’at (God as Giver of Knowledge) The Shemoneh Esrei Prayer—Requests by the Individual in the Assembly: Teshuvah (Repentance) and Forgiveness The Shemoneh Esrei Prayer: Redemption, Healing, and Livelihood The Shemoneh Esrei (Eighteen Benedictions) That Are Really Nineteen: Redemption from Deepening Exile The Shemoneh Esrei—Responding in Anticipation of Complete Redemption Types of Biblical Poetry as a Source of Prayer Between the Poetry of Prophecy and Prayer The Poetry of the Psalms: Personal-Soulful and Societal-Political Messages Hymnal Song for the Sabbath Day.

As with all his bestselling works, C.S. Lewis once again communicates deep wisdom through profound story.Trade Review‘Apart from The Screwtape Letters, it may well prove to be the most profound of C. S. Lewis’s many essays’ Saturday Review ‘Splendid, glorious stuff, the product of a luminous and original mind, tough and honest in facing the agonizing questions raised inevitably by any consideration of prayer’ —The Church Times ‘He has quite a unique power for making theology an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.’—Times Literary Supplement “C. S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.”—New York Times “Lewis, perhaps more than any other twentieth-century writer, forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions.”—Los Angeles Times

Book SynopsisThis beautifully written book opens up the riches of the Carmelite tradition, helping Christians of every denomination to read Scripture in a spirit of prayer.Trade ReviewWe are living through times of disillusionment and bewilderment – a global "dark night of the soul". Carmelite spirituality understands this terrain. This book guides us expertly into the spirit of Carmel, outlining its background, introducing us to major Carmelite visionaries, from Teresa of Avila to Edith Stein, and inviting us to explore the Carmelite method of quiet contemplative prayer, just "gazing on God". A series of very practical contemporary questions encourages us to apply Carmelite wisdom to our own situations, and allow the gentle light of Carmel’s wisdom to bring insight to our own dark nights. * Margaret Silf, author and retreat facilitator *For any Christians who have asked themselves the question, "How do I pray?", especially during the sacred season of Lent, this book will come as a timely help. Fr McCaffrey, drawing upon a lifetime’s experience of Carmelite life and his own unsurpassable biblical scholarship, presents a satisfying synthesis – scholarly and practical, humble yet brilliant. I warmly commend it. * Professor Peter Tyler, St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London *Partly because of the intense mystical experiences of individual Carmelites, and particularly of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, it is too easy to see Carmelite spirituality as "difficult" or even esoteric; as only suited to very advanced souls. Fr McCaffrey ocd does an extraordinarily lovely job of making this spiritual tradition somehow "pure" – sensible has become too prosaic a word. The underlying themes of "openness to the spirit" through the Scriptures are made accessible, enriching, worthwhile. It is the sort of Lent book many of us need – expanding and deepening our practice as an exploration into the new which at the same time has been tested through the tradition. It is both useful and beautiful. * Sara Maitland, author of A Book of Silence and many other titles *In a world marked by division and uncertainty, God calls us to communion. Too many hearts are beset by lingering weakness and unhealed wounds. God beckons with silence. Our lives are filled with the disposable and casual. God entices us with his eternal Presence. With keen spiritual insight, Fr McCaffrey poignantly captures this spiritual adventure, this journey of accompaniment with the Holy Spirit, which the Church invites us to set out upon during Lent. With wisdom born of faith, Fr McCaffrey delves into the riches of his own Carmelite tradition. His confident assurance is that God is inviting us, yet again this Lent, into a "privileged time for prayer", when the gentle hand of God can transform each of us into the likeness of Jesus Christ. * Monsignor Joseph Reilly, Rector and Dean of Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology *

Book SynopsisA gift book for those who would like to try out new ways of praying but don’t know how to start.Trade ReviewPraise for The Teenage Prayer Experiment Notebook: The Teenage Prayer Experiment Notebook is quite unlike any other book on prayer I have come across …The beauty of this book is that it does exactly what it says on the cover- it is experimental and totally non-didactic. It releases and encourages the participant to think and try-out for themselves. … I thoroughly recommend this book for students in church groups, schools, clubs, your own children, grandchildren and godchildren and, actually, adults who would welcome thinking more widely about how to pray * Amazon Review *Prayer can often be taken to be as a one way talk to God either through ready written liturgical prayers or a spouted off shopping list and I wanted an easy to way to introduce [my son] to the concept that prayer is both conversation and spending time with God. I have to say that the book has been even better than I expected. The first night he didn't want to put it down, and kept coming over to tell me how exciting it was and all the things he was going to try. * Amazon Review *I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book for my teenage son but its pure brilliance. The prayer ideas really connect with the youth of today and having a space for them to record in gives them ownership of the book. A must buy for any teenager (or even an adult!) * Amazon Review *The text would be useful to anyone who wants to pray, whether or not they are adherents of an established faith. This book should prove useful to all those who have responsibility for encouraging the spiritual growth of others, such as clergy, prayer group leaders, spiritual directors and retreat leaders. -- Hilary Pearson * The Times Literary Supplement *The book seeks not to teach about prayer, but rather to encourage individuals to try prayer for themselves in a multitude of ways and include full instructions for trying it out. There are a number of different and innovative ideas for experiencing prayer differently. As the author says in her introduction "The way to encounter God and find out about praying is to give it a try. -- Lynne McNeil * Life and Work Magazine *
