Ordering Of Love
$21.00Add to cart“In a brilliant marriage of myth and manner, histories sacred and profane, prayers of petition and of praise, these poems both articulate and illumine the trouble in the gap in which we live-the gap between human affections and Divine Love. L’Engle is unfailing in her willingness to see through-not around-human suffering, and in so doing announces no final severing of spirit and flesh but an enduring vision of resurrection in that crux, in the cross, in the One in Whom all things meet, continuing.”
-Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim and Philokalia: New and Selected Poems“I love L’Engle’s poetry for the way it incarnates not only the great Truths of the faith, but all the little truths of our ordinary existence-our working and playing and loving and fighting and dreaming and idling and all the rest of it-and for the way it shows us that those big and little truths should not, cannot, be separated.”
-Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author“Why is L’Engle one of the defining poets of our time? Because when life hurts, she does not shrink from the wounds. She clarifies the murk with hope as we feel the lift of grace.”
-Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School
Birmingham, Alabama“We are, all of us, the richer for this carefully crafted and prayerfully rendered collection.”
-Phyllis Tickle, Author, The Divine Hours“Poetry, at least the kind I write, is written out of immediate need; it is written out of pain, joy, and experience too great to be borne until it is ordered into words. And then it is written to be shared.”
-Madeleine L’EngleMadeleine L’Engle’s writing has always translated the invisible and intricate qualities of love into the patterns and rhythms of visible life. Now, with compelling language and open-hearted vulnerability, The Ordering of Love brings together the exhaustive collection of L’Engle’s poetry for the first time.
This volume collects nearly 200 of L’Engle’s original poems, including eighteen that have never before been published. Reflecting on themes of love, loss, faith, and beauty, The Ordering of Love gives vivid and compelling insight into the language of the heart.

Loving Jesus
$18.00Add to cartIn this biblical spirituality for today, Powells earnest plea is for Christians to revisit their faith not by blazing in religious enthusiasm but by harboring a steadier flame and deeper commitment. Living at the poetic heart of faith, he argues, entails seeing the coordinates of religious life–love, understanding, truth, hope, and especially devotion–in a new way. Powell espouses the old fashioned idea of piety. Drawing on his wide knowledge of the Bible and Christian tradition, as well as insights from his own journey, he shows how simple religious practices move us beyond the old certitudes of a naive and youthful faith into the less certain but more bracing terrain of a second naivete, a closer walk with Jesus.

Mustard Seed Of Faith
$10.99Add to cartLongfellow Press
I have known Donna Warren all of my life (which is most of hers). In the early years, I found her to be very headstrong, mean, determined, and slightly vain. She often tried to take an authoritative role with everyone, which resulted in major conflict. To put it in simple terms, I didn’t like her. You see-she’s my oldest sister. About seven years ago, quite by default, my husband and I went to Galveston, Texas, to visit Donna and her husband. We had booked flights to attend her daughter’s wedding a few weeks earlier but were unable to make the trip. With two roundtrip tickets to Texas that we had to use, I had no choice but to pay her a visit. It was during this visit that, for the first time, I MET DONNA WARREN! I found her to be very self-assured, yet humble; very stern, yet compassionate; and very opinionated, yet understanding. The woman I met is truly chosen and anointed by God, and I love her. You see, she’s my friend, mentor, confidante, and prayer partner, and since our mother went on to be with God, she’s been my mother. This book, A Mustard Seed of Faith, is Donna’s testimony. Throughout her life, she has held on to her faith to make it through the trails, tribulations, and triumphs of this world. As you read each poem and inspirational writing, and look into the heart and soul of Donna Warren, I know that you will feel God’s power, wisdom, guidance, and comfort, and will be richly blessed. When you’ve been blessed, pass it on by planting another Mustard Seed of Faith, the way Donna has. -Denese Artis -

Questions Of Faith For Inquiring Believers
$12.95Add to cartHow do we reconcile basic Christian theology with modern life? In today’s church, more people are apt to come to church spiritually hungry, but theologically uninformed. And, Robert Cueni notes, many are no longer content with being told, “Memorize this list of what Christians believe.

It’s an excellent resource for new member classes, adult Sunday school curriculum, a sermon series, or for personal investigation into understanding the Bible and the faith.
Among the provocative questions Cueni explores are:
* Why Do Good People Do Bad Things?
* How Do We Live With Our Differences?
* What’s Important About Going To Church?
* Must Religion And Science Conflict?
* If Christ Is The Answer, What Is The Question? -

Caso De La Fe – (Spanish)
$16.99Add to cartIn The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his tenacious investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief – the eight “heart” barriers to faith. The Case for Faith is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with formidable intellectual barriers standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends. In The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel probes the most thorny of questions, what he calls “The Big Eight”, including: If there is a loving God, why does this world groan under so much suffering and evil? If God really created the universe, why does science compel so many to conclude that evolution account for life? If God is the ultimate overseer of the church, why has it been rife with hypocrisy and brutality through the ages? If God truly cares about the people he created, how could he consign so many of them to an eternity of torture in hell just because they didn’t believe the right things about him? As a seasoned journalist with Yale Law background, Strobel methodically tracks sown his leads and asks the gritty, gut-wrenching questions you would want to ask questions that can make or break the Christian faith. He refuses to patronize or offer cliched, glib answers. Instead, he pieces together heard facts trough interviews with nine of the country’s top scholars and experts. The result? Solid, persuasive, engrossing, and smart answers to your deepest questions. The Case for Faith will set you on the path to belief, renewed, restored – or discovered for the very first time.
