Oxford University Press Growing in Love and Wisdom
Book SynopsisIn Growing in Love and Wisdom, Susan Stabile draws on a unique dual perspective to explore the value of interreligious dialogue, the essential spiritual dynamics that operate across faith traditions, and the many fruitful ways Buddhist meditation practices can deepen Christian prayer.Raised as a Catholic, Stabile devoted 20 years of her life to practicing Buddhism and was ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun before returning to Catholicism in 2001. She begins the book by examining the values and principles shared by the two faith traditions, focusing on the importance of prayer--particularly contemplative prayer--to both Christianity and Tibetan Buddhism. Both traditions seek to effect a fundamental transformation in the lives of believers, and both stress the need for experiences that have deep emotional resonance, that go beyond the level of concepts to touch the heart. Stabile illuminates the similarities between Tibetan Buddhist meditations and Christian forms of prayer such as IgnatTrade Review"A gentle gift to the work of interreligious existence in the 21st century... Stabile faithfully and reasonably steers a course between with this lucid, welcome offering. Growing in Love and Wisdom embodies for us the insights of Nostra Aetate in action -- rejecting nothing that is true and holy, and regarding with sincere reverence those practices of Buddhist meditation that reflect the Truth which enlightens all humanity... This rich resource can be of profitable use in an undergraduate classroom considering interreligious matters, or in a broad introduction to spirituality. Highly recommended for personal, parish or academic use." --Catholic Books Review "In the growing crowd of books on Buddhist-Christian dialogue, this one is different. It's a 'hands-on' book. Susan Stabile's intent is to help Christians learn from what Buddhists do, rather than from what they believe. In practical, step-by-step instructions on how Christians can use Tibetan techniques of meditation, she opens new possibilities of clarifying and deepening Christian experience. This is a book for those who what to practice before they preach, or are preached to."--Paul F. Knitter, Paul Tillich Professor of Theology, World Religions, and Culture, Union Theological Seminary, New York "Stabile's very readable book lucidly presents similarities in values between Christianity and Tibetan Buddhism. Her clearly-explained prayer suggestions for Christians, which make up most of the book, are adapted from Buddhist practice and are mainly discursive in nature. They offer a rich variety of ways in which their Christian spiritual life can be enriched by Eastern teachings."--Mary Jo Meadow, author of Christian Insight Meditation: Following in the Footsteps of John of the Cross "A new standard for the possibilities in authentic, deeply rooted inter-religious dialogue... the book is beautifully written, in a simple yet clear style, making its deft navigation of interaith ideas ring with clarity." --Carl McColman, carlmccolman.comTable of ContentsIntroduction ; Part I: How We Think about Other Faith Traditions ; Chapter 1: The Value of Interreligious Dialogue ; Chapter 2: Core Truths that Operate Across Faith Traditions ; Part II: Adapting Prayer Practices from Another Faith Tradition ; Chapter 3: The Importance of Contemplation and Affective Experience ; Chapter 4: Why Look to Tibetan Buddhist Meditation? ; Part III: Analytical Meditations and Commentary ; Chapter 5: Friend, Enemy, Stranger ; Chapter 6: Tonglen ; Chapter 7: Kindness of (M)other Sentient Beings ; Chapter 8: Exchanging Self and Others ; Chapter 9: The Four Immeasurables ; Chapter 10: Meditation on Compassion ; Chapter 11: Giving the Four Elements ; Chapter 12: Perfect Human Rebirth ; Chapter 13: Death ; Chapter 14: Impermanence ; Chapter 15: Overcoming Anger ; Chapter 16: The Eight Worldly Concerns ; Chapter 17: Taking Refuge ; Chapter 18: Emanating as the Deity ; Chapter 19: Meditating on the I ; Part IV: Other Meditations and Practices ; Chapter 20: Meditations to Develop Concentration and Mindfulness ; Chapter 21: Other Practices ; Notes ; Glossary ; Suggestions for further reading

Farrar, Straus and Giroux A Prayer Journal
Book SynopsisI would like to write a beautiful prayer, writes the young Flannery O''Connor in this deeply spiritual journal, recently discovered among her papers in Georgia. There is a whole sensible world around me that I should be able to turn to Your praise. Written between 1946 and 1947 while O''Connor was a student far from home at the University of Iowa, A Prayer Journal is a rare portal into the interior life of the great writer. Not only does it map O''Connor''s singular relationship with the divine, but it shows how entwined her literary desire was with her yearning for God. I must write down that I am to be an artist. Not in the sense of aesthetic frippery but in the sense of aesthetic craftsmanship; otherwise I will feel my loneliness continually . . . I do not want to be lonely all my life but people only make us lonelier by reminding us of God. Dear God please help me to be an artist, please let it lead to You.O''Connor could not be more plain about her literary ambit

Book SynopsisA simple yet profound guide to facilitate the instinctively human desire to pray.We pray because we are human, not because we are religious. Something in our nature points beyond itself; something in us searches for and desires personal connection with God.

This unique book guides you to pray in deeper and more authentic ways. The short prayers and thought-provoking imagery, interspersed with contemplative reflections and suggested practices, will stir, inform, and encourage you. The simplicity of the prayers and the aesthetic appeal of the images will inspire people in every facet of life, including those with no real religious background at all.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Catholic Prayerbook From Downside Abbey
Trade Review'Most prayerbooks leave the reader to get on with the praying himself. Rather different is The Catholic Prayerbook from Downside Abbey. The editor, Dom David Foster, draws on the great saints of west and east as well as King Charles I and even anonymous boys at Downside School. Its great value for a pitifully inadequate praying man, such as myself, lies in his thoughtful introductions to the major prayers and discussion of the best way to go about the exercise. Sometimes one can stick to established texts, at other just use their opening words to launch into our own. If this goes badly, switch back to somebody else's prayer, he counsels.' David Twiston Davies, The Catholic Herald'I welcome the publication of this Prayerbook. It is indeed a treasury. I am sure that all those reponsible for leading prayer in our Catholic schools will benefit from it. I think it would make a wonderful present for many youngsters at the time of their Confirmation. It could become their treasured companion on the pilgrimage of life.' Bishop Vincent Nichols, Department for Catholic Education and Formation'This book should provide a treasure-trove for anyone who has to improvise services, prayer-meetings or assemblies, and above all for the ordinary Christian who needs a focus, a text, or perhaps even a point of departure for prayer.' John Sullivan, Priests and PeopleAppeared in article in Church Times, September 2009.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Karl Barth on Prayer TT Clark Studies in Systematic Theology
Book SynopsisAshley Cocksworth is the Tutor in Systematic Theology at the Queen's Foundation, Birmingham, UK. He studied theology at the University of Edinburgh, UK and received his doctorate from the University of Cambridge, UK.Trade ReviewNot all theologians write about the relationship of prayer and Christian theology. In this splendid study, Cocksworth (systematic theology, Queen's Foundation, UK) offers a persuasive demonstration that prayer stands at the center of Karl Barth’s theological work. For Barth, Cocksworth writes in his conclusion, “‘prayer’ and theological ‘work’ are not imagined to be independent or sequential but one and the same.” Cocksworth describes treatments of prayer in Barth’s works before focusing on particular aspects of prayer: contemplation, petition, invocation, pneumatology, and revolt. Though Barth was uneasy with historic, contemplative prayer, Cocksworth sees his theology of the Sabbath as providing room for contemplation. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. -- D. K. McKim, Memphis Theological Seminary, USA * CHOICE *This is not only a deep and original study of Barth on prayer, engaging with the whole Church Dogmatics and a great many of this other writings, and showing how utterly central prayer is to his conception of Christian life, politics and theology; Cocksworth also sensitively relates Barth to other traditions of prayer, especially contemplation and meditation. His culminating original insight is into the importance of Barth's development beyond a main emphasis on petition to an embracing 'turn to invocation'. Anyone interested in Barth or prayer should appreciate this profound and perceptive book. * David F. Ford, University of Cambridge, UK *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Abbreviations 1.
