The Catholic Table: Finding Joy Where Food and Faith Meet
Emily Stimpson Chapman - 2016
Or we eat too little. Often we eat without gratitude, without charity, without respect. But, as award-winning author Emily Stimpson Chapman explains in The Catholic Table, with a sacramental worldview the supernatural gift of God’s grace can transform and heal us through the food we make, eat, and share."Emily Stimpson Chapman's personal experience combined with her intelligent, powerful writing style creates a book that will help many people see food as the gift of God that it is." -- Jennifer Fulwiler, Bestselling author of Something Other than God and host of the Jennifer Fulwiler Show on Sirius XM"The Catholic Table is a delicious, soul-nourishing read." --Kate Wicker, Author of Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body
The Mind of the Maker
Dorothy L. Sayers - 1941
The Mind of the Maker will be relished by those already in love with Dorothy L. Sayers and those who have not yet met her. A mystery writer, a witty and perceptive theologian, culture critic, and playwright, Dorothy Sayers sheds new, unexpected light on a specific set of statements made in the Christian creeds. She examines anew such ideas as the image of God, the Trinity, free will, and evil, and in these pages a wholly revitalized understanding of them emerges. The author finds the key in the parallels between the creation of God and the human creative process. She continually refers to each in a way that illuminates both.
Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us
Wilfrid Stinissen - 2008
According to Carmelite Father Wilfrid Stinissen, surrender to God, abandonment to the One who loves us completely, is that central reality. The life of Jesus shows us the centrality of abandonment, for it is truly the beginning and the end of his mission on earth. In this simple but profound book, Father Stinissen distinguishes three degrees or stages in abandonment. The first stage consists of accepting and assenting to God's will as it manifests itself in all circumstances of life. The second is actively doing God's will at every moment of one's life. In the third stage, abandonment to God is so complete that one has become a tool in God's hands. At this stage it is no longer I who do God's will, but God who accomplishes his will through me.
