by Thomas Merton (1986)
"This book is not a systematic treatise, but only a collection of personal notes on the Psalter. They are the notes of a monk, written in the monastic tradition, and one supposes that they might appeal above all to monks. But in this mysterious age, there is no telling whom the book may reach--although no one expects it to reach everybody. As for those readers who can only regard the Psalms as "literature" ... this book will at least offer them some of the reasons why the Psalter seems to be more than literature to those of us who have made it our bread in the wilderness." [Prologue].
Escrito por el Papa Francisco
"El papa Francisco brinda en estas paginas un mensaje de cambio y esperanza: El Evangelico de la nueva vida es una invitacion a construir un mundo mejor, basado en el respeto, el amor y la fe en Cristo. Esta mision no esta extenta de sufrimientos y caidas, pero con la guia de Dios y su infinita misericordia, todos podemos emprender el camino hacia una vida plena, siempre al servicio del senor y del projimo."--Back cover.
John J. McNeill
"A vintage work in the evolving history of the relationship between gay people and institutional Christianity. McNeill's book remains central to the story." [Comment by Malcolm Boyd].
John Michael Talbot with Steve Rabey
The life of St. Francis of Assisi was a paradigm of simplicity, humanity, and love. In today's busy world, his practices have enormous appeal, described in this inspiring work by John Michael Talbot, the founder of The Brothers and Sisters of Charity, a lay order based on the Franciscan principles of simplicity and self-sufficiency. In The Lessons Of St. Francis, Talbot and co-author Steve Rabey demonstrate the enduring significance of Franciscan wisdom. Organized by topic, such as Simplicity, Humility, Compassion, Solitude, Service, and Prayer, each chapter includes excerpts from the writings of St. Francis, as well as those of his followers and biographers. Combining deep spiritual insights with the offer of a saner, less chaotic way of living, The Lessons Of St. Francis offers wise advice on how to incorporate these virtues into our own lives today.
