Gideon's People
by Carolyn MeyerJews don't eat meat from a pig. Amish don't wear buttons. But two boys from extremely different cultures discover how similar they really are. "The story is fascinating as an in-depth examination of two disparate cultures that the boys discover share many of the commonalities of the human experience; it's also a great coming-of-age novel, inhabited by people who may dress and speak differently from many readers but whose actions are entirely understandable. "-Kirkus Reviews

The Gift
by T. Davis Bunn“It was as clear to her now as the dawn sky. Clear and glorious in its stillness, like a lake she used to visit with her husband, surrounded by forests and hills, so deep in its valley that few breezes found their way down to mar the mirror-like surface. The two of them would walk down while morning was nothing more than a rosy hint above the eastern hills, holding hands like teenagers, stepping carefully along the stone path so they did not spill their brimming coffee mugs. The world was silent then, and theirs....” So begins this truly beautiful story that brings a deep appreciation for family, work, love, and hearing God speak to the human heart.

The Gift: Poems Inspired by Hafiz, the Great Sufi Master (Compass)
by null Daniel LadinskyDaniel Ladinsky&’s 250 unforgettable lyrical poems are inspired by the cherished verse of Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time. More than any other Persian poet, Hafiz expanded the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the &“Invisible Tongue.&” Daniel Ladinsky&’s poems are not translations in a literal sense. Rather than capture the form of a particular classical work, Ladinsky crafts poems that release the spirit of Hafiz based on his study of stories and poems attributed to the revered Persian writer. The Gift imparts the wonderful qualities of this master Sufi poet and spiritual teacher: encouragement, an audacious love that touches lives, profound knowledge, generosity, and a sweet, playful genius unparalleled in world literature.

The Gift of Being Yourself: The Sacred Call to Self-Discovery (The Spiritual Journey)
by David G. Benner"Grant, Lord, that I may know myself that I may know thee." —Augustine Much is said in Christian circles about knowing God. But Christians throughout the ages have agreed that there cannot be deep knowledge of God without deep knowledge of the self. Discerning your true self is inextricably related to discerning God's purposes for you. Paradoxically, the more you become like Christ, the more you become authentically yourself. In this profound exploration of Christian identity, psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner illuminates the spirituality of self-discovery. He exposes the false selves that you may hide behind and calls you to discover the true self that emerges from your uniqueness in Christ. Freeing you from illusions about yourself, Benner shows that self-understanding leads to the fulfillment of your God-given destiny and vocation. Rest assured, you need not try to be someone you are not. But you will deepen your experience of God through discovering the gift of being yourself. This expanded edition, one of three titles in The Spiritual Journey trilogy, includes a new epilogue and an experiential guide with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.
