Province Of Joy
$21.00
The Province of Joy is a book of hours rooted in the rich theological imagination of fiction writer, Flannery O’Connor. A lifelong Catholic devoted to liturgical prayer, O’Connor was also an avid reader and thinker who lived a rich spiritual life. Cutting a broad swath through spiritual and theological texts of every stamp, O’Connor engaged ideas about the nature of prayer and its many forms on a daily basis and often shared them in her correspondence, essays, and stories. This book brings together O’Connor’s practice of prayer and the rich spiritual context within which O’Connor lived and out of which she wrote.
O’Donnell organizes this devotional around six themes:
* The False Self and the True Self
* Blindness & Vision
* Limitation & Grace
* The Mystery of the Incarnation
* Revelations & Resurrections
* The Christian Comedy.
In addition, she presents brief reflections suggesting links between the themes, readings, and prayers of the day with O’Connor’s fiction. These parallels illustrate of some of the ways in which O’Connor’s practice of her faith and her art intersect and serve to illuminate one another.

Life Lessons From Philippians
$12.99Add to cartAn unexpected bill. An upcoming doctor’s appointment. A tense family visit. The list could go on. Every day struggles of all sizes creep into our lives, leaving us stressed. Frustrated. Anxious. Just plain miserable. The believers in Philippi were struggling. They were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. Trying to deal with conflict and threats of persecution. The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. He reminds us of important biblical truths and points us to Jesus as the ultimate example. Paul’s letter encourages. It inspires. His confidence reminds us of God’s wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us in this guide to joy.
