Company Of The Creative
$39.99A History of Biblical Preaching from the Old Testament to the Modern Era) contends that in the modern world “casual television and junk reading dilute the content of the mind…and the interior life has become bloated with malnourishment.” In addition, he says, many Christians believe that the Bible contains all the truth they need about the world, so they do not read beyond the Bible. The author maintains, however, that “all Christians need to read broadly, deeply, and copiously.” He asserts that reading is vital to an engagement of the mind with serious issues of faith and culture. Reading, he notes, opens us to insights about issues and people; it stimulates the imagination and introduces us to beauty. In a series of insightful chapters, Larsen provides short, thematic summaries of more than 500 thought-provoking works of fiction, poetry, drama and biography that incite the imagination. He arranges the chapters according to historical period; for example, in “Identifying Our Assets from the Middle Ages,” Larsen ranges over Augustine, Jerome, Dante, Aquinas, Bernard of Clairvaux, Beowulf, Chaucer and the Arthurian legends. In each of his summaries, the author is attentive to the lessons that Christians can take from these writings. Such interpretive lenses sometimes cloud Larsen’s summaries, however. For instance, he remarks that “the actual state of Willa Cather’s spiritual life is questionable…and whether she had truly come to terms with God at her death is a matter of conjecture.” Such remarks fail to consider the power of the writing and turn readers away from the very fiction that Larsen urges them to read. While his book is an admirable attempt to recover the importance of reading for the Christian life, Larsen’s comments are often too narrow to be helpful.

Silent Lamp
$24.93Silent Lamp is written with a remarkable combination of clarity and assurance. Its author, who is also the general editor of Thomas Merton’s letters, has made the material his own in a masterly way. This book will be recognized as an authoritative, if not definitive, study of Merton’s life and work. It is a biography–but of a rather special kind. Each period of merton’s life is presented to us in two ways. First, a section of chronology sets out the major events in that life in parallel with significant events in the contemporary poitical and literary world. Then follows the biographical chapters that contitute the substance of the book. Here Merton’s life is seen in terms of the principal themes that he developed as a writer and teacher. These themes are of a great and intriguing variety, varying from the possibilities of monasitc renewal to the poetry of Latin America, from the demands of interracial justice to the teachings of the Sufi masters. Thus we are given not just an account of Merton’s life but the story of that life, its unfolding pattern and meaning. We see the story in relation to the time in which he lived, and we find him in an unexpected way to have been a representative figure of the midtwentieth century.

Spiritual Torrents
$10.95120 Pages/17 Chapters
Additional Info
SPIRITUAL TORRENTSThis book is a spiritual autobiography in which Jeanne Guyon likens her life to a torrent making its way out of the high mountains down into the canyons and chasms of life, passing through many experiences until finally coming to the spiritual experience of death. From there the torrent experiences resurrection and a life lived in concert with the will of God while still going through many stages of refinement. At last the torrent finds its way into the vast, unlimited sea. Even here the torrent does not totally come to be one with the vast ocean until it has once more passed through final dealings by the Lord.
The reader will find this book to be the saga of one believer’s journey with Christ. It does not serve as a pattern for any other life, but simply allows the reader to see how Guyon viewed the Lord’s work in her life. Nevertheless, this is one of the greatest books ever written on the subject of the cross as it works in the life of the believer.
