Meditations $21.95 “Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D. 161-180). A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus’s insights and advice–on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others–have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the Meditations remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago. >In Gregory Hays’s new translation–the first in thirty-five years–Marcus’s thoughts speak with a new immediacy. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. Never before have Marcus’s insights been so directly and powerfully presented. >With an Introduction that outlines Marcus’s life and career, the essentials of Stoic doctrine, the style and construction of the Meditations, and the work’s ongoing influence, this edition makes it possible to fully rediscover the thoughts of one of the most enlightened and intelligent leaders of any era.”

Capturing the earthiness and sacramental character of the Christian faith, these uplifting meditations bring together the experience of space and time through the cycle of the seasons in the garden and relate this fundamental human experience to the cycle of the church year and the Christian seasons of grace. The tilling of fresh earth; the sowing of seeds; the harvesting of rhubarb and roses, dillweed and daffodils-Guroian finds in the garden our most concrete connection with life and God’s gracious giving. His personal reflections on this connection, complemented here by delicate woodcut illustrations, offer a compelling entry into Christian spirituality.”

Meditations from the Land $17.99 “From the most ancient memories of humankind, a strong love for the land has always resided deep down in man’s soul. God put a desire in each of us for Himself and we more clearly see Him when we are removed from the clamor and clutter of people. We are attracted to the beauty, peace and purity of woodlands, meadows, small farms and open fields. Even though we build cities, our souls crave the natural, be it only in the form of open space and parks. God put this in each of us so that we might be drawn into relationship with Him. His message, however, goes beyond and is deeper than His created world. The purpose of this book is to convey some of that wisdom using lessons drawn from the simplicity of working the land combined with the timeless principles of scripture. Enjoy the meditations and let our Lord lead you ever deeper in Him. The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Psalm 19:1 – 2. NAS Greg Burns was born and raised in the exurbs of New York City in New Jersey. In spite of being a “suburbanite,” he grew to love the land and the God who created it.

Parking Lot Meditations $14.99 “After researching human relationships for forty years, the author felt his most important insights about human relationships came while waiting for his wife to shop. Parking Lot Meditations is a book that reveals the insight He had while in quiet, meditative moments with God. He came to recognize there are three types of human relationships that need time, commitment, and cultivation: Relationship to the Self (since we all have many inner selves), Relationship to Others (that involves many people and many social roles), and a Relationship to God. The author has concluded that without an intimate, loving relationship to God, the self and other relationships cannot be fully successful or fulfilling. Moreover, a relationship with God can bring a wonderful benefit: He can show you in His Manufacturer’s Handbook For Successful Relationships how to achieve fulfillment in self/other relationships. Roger C. Bailey is currently a retired university professor and he holds academic degrees in social psychology and clinical psychology. He has taught courses in psychological research and intimate relationships. His professional interest has focused on factors that go into successful marriages and friendships. He resides in the mountains of east Tennessee with his wife Barbara.”

Meditations from Iraq $20.95 “I experienced the power of God’s grace in two ways as I have read these e-mails: I heard the story of faith of an ordinary parish pastor who served God in a rather extraordinary setting, and I experienced the power of God to make the ordinary precious. These letters are filled with simple moments of serving coffee and serving God, baptism by bottled water and denominational tensions melting under a desert sun. Lance Kittleson shares with all of us a small piece of God’s kingdom in a far-off land. (from the Preface) Elaine Siemsen Assistant Professor of Religion St. Olaf College In January 2003, Lance Kittleson’s army reserve unit was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq. For the next 14 months, his ministry was transformed ? instead of pastoring an Iowa congregation, he now served under harsh and sometimes dangerous conditions as a chaplain for a support unit on the edge of war. Yet even in this chaotic and challenging environment, his trained pastor’s eye finds the presence of God in moments both mundane and exhilarating. In this collection of e-mails sent to family and friends during his time in the Middle East, Kittleson shares insightful, poignant, and humorous meditations on faith and life. You’ll get a firsthand glimpse of military life, as well as the remarkable ways of the spirit (both divine and human) at work. When the camp’s altar suddenly disappears, you’ll read about how Kittleson comes to understand that the crude replacement altar hastily assembled from discarded shipping crates is a better symbol of Jesus than any fancy altar in an ornate sanctuary. You’ll also see how the sight of a superior officer offering a cup of coffee draws quizzical responses from servicemen accustomed to a rank-conscious army. Whether you are interested in learning more about what some of our men and women in uniform are experiencing in Iraq, want thoughtful sermon illustrations, or just desire inspirational reading that highlights God’s presence even in the worst of life, Meditations >From Iraq is a fascinating volume for everyone. Some of the illuminating chapters include: * A Baptism In The Desert * The Spirit’s Honeywagon * The Rivers Of Babylon * Tikrit And Perspective (Or Dodging Bat Guano In The Desert) * Saint SGT Murphy * Eli’s Christmas Tree (Or Someone In Iowa Loves You) * The Last Convoy * SRP Blues Lance Kittleson has been an ELCA pastor since 1981. He is currently the pastor of Deer Creek Lutheran Church in Carpenter, Iowa, and St. Peter Lutheran Church in Toeterville, Iowa. Kittleson previously served parishes in Iowa and Oregon, and has been a missionary in Senegal. Kittleson’s military service has included 17 years as a chaplain in the Army Reserve and 10 years as an infantry officer. He is a graduate of North Carolina State University and Luther Seminary. click here for sample”
