Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilgrimage is intrinsic to the experience of faith. This book offers would-be pilgrims some 'fuel' for their journey. It contains 40 'bite-sized' meditations with questions to guide reflection and suggested prayer responses. Used over 40 days, ideally as a group resource with times of sharing and prayer, this book will 'help you on your pilgrim way'. Stephen John MARCH is an applied theologian who served in France as an ecumenical missionary practitioner for 14 years and who now heads up a 'Fresh Expressions' project in an Anglican parish in Leicester, England. A fascinated student of the earlier (and less widely known) parts of Church history, he seeks to share with others the wonder, encouragement and help he has found in studying these texts. Evangelism has been described as 'One beggar telling another beggar where to find bread'; it is in that spirit that this book is offered to a wider reading public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilgrimage is a very rich metaphor for the Christian life. It evokes much that is foundational for an authentic self-understanding as a disciple of Jesus. Each of these books contains 40 individual meditations that are designed to give pilgrims 'fuel' for the journey. These meditations will inspire faith, encourage self-reflection, and help the reader to set their own spiritual life in the context of Christian discipleship down through the millennia. The individual meditations are inspired by an eclectic mix of sources- Scripture, Christian hagiography, Church History, contemporary events, and scientific discovery. Each meditation is accompanied by questions which guide personal meditation, as well as suggestions for a prayer response. Although these books are suitable for private use, it is hoped that groups will use them with private daily use being augmented by group time of sharing and praying together. Suited for Lent/Advent use

This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for Roman Catholic and Evangelical Protestant lay people who wonder what relationship, if any, they might have with their friends who come from a different Christian faith tradition than their own. The authors aim to address that question in a practical way. They believe that while disagreements remain, it is possible to preserve the integrity of the faith while relating positively to Christians who cherish other beliefs. The opinions expressed in this book grew out of nearly thirty years of experience as evangelical protestant missionaries ministering in catholic parish communities in France. The goal of the book is to move the readers beyond simply understanding each other, to a place where they might begin using their diversity to stimulate and encourage each other in our common pursuit of obedient discipleship. We know of no other book which targets ecumenical lay relations in this way.

Book excerpt: Into the Wild meets Helter Skelter in this riveting true story of a modern-day homesteading family in the deepest reaches of the Alaskan wilderness—and of the chilling secrets of its maniacal, spellbinding patriarch. When Papa Pilgrim, his wife, and their fifteen children appeared in the Alaska frontier outpost of McCarthy, their new neighbors saw them as a shining example of the homespun Christian ideal. But behind the family's proud piety and beautiful old-timey music lay Pilgrim's dark past: his strange connection to the Kennedy assassination and a trail of chaos and anguish that followed him from Dallas and New Mexico. Pilgrim soon sparked a tense confrontation with the National Park Service fiercely dividing the community over where a citizen’s rights end and the government’s power begins. As the battle grew more intense, the turmoil in his brood made it increasingly difficult to tell whether his children were messianic followers or hostages in desperate need of rescue. In this powerful piece of Americana, written with uncommon grace and high drama, veteran Alaska journalist, Tom Kizzia uses his unparalleled access to capture an era-defining clash between environmentalists and pioneers ignited by a mesmerizing sociopath who held a town and a family captive.

Some highlights - the serenity of the countryside, the quaint villages and churches, and pilgrims from all over the world.” +Stephanie Rubeling, mother and pilgrim.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Right in the heart of Asia, where Britain, Russia and China stretched encroaching fingers towards a possible meeting, lies the mysterious tract of country passed over in half a page in our geography books, and omitted, except in vague and general outline, from our atlases. It is a region about which people have inquired little. North and South have been eagerly explored; the Pole and Sahara are brought, so to speak, to our doors. But the centuries have passed with but few at tempts to penetrate the core of the mysterious East. There is something about the very name of Khotan, of the Pamirs, of Mus-tagh-ata, which tickles the imagination, and we confess to something of a superstitious thrill in opening Dr. Sven Hedin's book. For if the hidden Lama is to be unveiled, surely we have a right to expect portents. But what do we find? That Dr. Hedin visited the Temple of the Ten Thousand Images and " had tea " with the " Living Buddha! " Yet that was a mere incident, disposed of in a few lines of a book whose every page is alive with serious interest. Dr. Hedin has plenty of humour, and of good humour, but his book is one to be taken seriously. He has traversed thousands of miles where no European had ever before set foot; his adventures and experiences have been in themselves extraordinary, and his discoveries of far-reaching importance; but perhaps the charm of the book lies, as much as anywhere else, in the writer's art of telling his story simply and unaffectedly and of keeping the warm human interest alive from first to last. There is hardly a more fascinating or a more thrilling travel book. The descriptions of the various attempts to scale the Mus-tagh-ata, of the wonderful scenic effects, of the mental and physical sensations of the traveller, and the grand invincibility of the Father of the Ice Mountains, are enough to set the nerves a-tingling in the bare reading.
