Addressing questions frequently asked by those struggling with infertility, Schuermann examines the source of conception, control of our bodies, family planning, and adoption through the lens of the theology of the cross, always pointing the reader to her identity in Christ. This revised and expanded second edition boldly confesses the author’s growing understanding of barrenness and related life issues. With Psalm readings, beloved hymn texts, and prayers at the conclusion of each chapter, He Remembers the Barren resonates on a devotional level that offers comfort not only to those who ache under the cross of barrenness, but to anyone who knows the grief and shame of suffering. It is a valuable resource for family members, friends, pastors, and anyone seeking to better understand and empathize with the childless experience of a loved one. Schuermann gives voice to those who are barren but not broken, drawing the reader away from the temptation to despair and always bringing the focus back to the Gospel and the peace that only Christ can give.

    Not the magic of chants and spells and ceremonies, of which we've already written quite a bit, but of the Quest to become like those kindred of ours who we, and others, call the Shining Ones, and which most folks think of when they fantasize about what elves are-even when they deny that we are elven or that elves exist at all. The Shinning Ones are the evolved beings who guide the elven people upon their spiritual Path. If you would enter Faerie, or Elfin as we often call it, this is a book about the Path that leads there.

    They will remind you to look for the holiness of the everyday; they will show you the real presence of God in Creation.Kenneth McIntosh, author of Water from an Ancient Well, Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life, writes, "The folks at Anamchara Books have done a real favor for all of us who struggle to integrate communion with God into our increasingly busy and complex lives. These short but powerful prayers connect daily routines—washing in the morning, starting the car, seeing a child off to school, or sitting at our computer—with the comforting Divine Presence. This book knocks the dust off ancient treasures—such as selections from the Carmina Gadelica—and also introduces some lovely new prayers, all written from the Celtic perspective. Earth Afire with God will bless individuals' lives and be equally as useful for small group or worship gatherings." Illumine your life with the ancient Celts' perspective on prayer. Each glimpse we have of the Earth's beauty, each ordinary sound we hear, every bite of food we eat, and even our daily routines, can all reveal God. This book will help you recognize the everyday revelations that surround you.
