God And I Broke Up

BY KATARINA MAZETTI
For all of her 16 years, Linnea has been a quiet loner. When she meets Pia, they become best friends. Whether the subject is guys, school, the afterlife, or politics, Pia is someone she can talk to about everything. But then Pia commits suicide. With self-deprecating candor, Linnea recounts the year following her friend's suicide as she struggles to heal her grief. Linnea's voice illuminates both her inner and outer selves, vividly portraying the difficulty of appearing to be a smart, savvy teen while inwardly feeling crushed by the loss of her soul mate. Her dilemma, told with honesty, grace, and often-unsettling wit, is sure to resonate with young readers. Translated from Swedish.

A classic of Spiritual direction since it was first published in 1965. He adapts the Ignatian spiritual exercises to guide the reader through encounters with the human Jesus. They may be easy to read, but they slowly and steadily take the reader through hard places, with some humor and much insight. The book is designed to find "buried treasure" in the spiritual lives of those disillusioned with the strictures of more conventional Christianity. Each chapter has a series of exercises and thought tasks to help the reader understand what the ideas expressed may mean in his life.

God Raising Us

Parenting As A Spiritual Practice-php 396

BY EILEEN FLANAGAN
When Eileen Flanagan became a mother, her spiritual world was dramatically discomposed. Bringing children into her life required her to find new ways to discern God's leadings; her ways of experiencing connection to the Divine were transformed; and her personal spiritual practices were tried, tested, and ultimately reinvented. In telling her own story - the challenges faced, the lessons learned - she calls on Friends to recognize parenthood as a phase of spiritual development with special gifts and needs, and suggest ways that we may begin to support the faith lives of parents and help our meetings be more fully multigenerational. Discussion questions are included.

God's Government Begun

The Society For Universal Inquiry And Reform, 1842--1846

BY THOMAS HAMM
Growing out of the radical fringes of the abolitionist movement, the Society for Universal Inquiry and Reform set out to found a new social order based on the principles of nonresistance. The Society founded eight utopian communities, which, though short-lived, were the setting for the most radical questioning of antebellum American society. The members of the Society renounced all forms of coercive relationships. They attempted to live without government or private property and to model new visions of work, education, religion, economics, women's rights and roles, and community. This book tells the story of their attempt to transform the world and begin the "Government of God."

God's Healing Grace

Reflections On A Journey With Mental And Spiritual Illness - Php 394

BY MARIELLEN GILPIN
Most of us go about our daily lives assuming that we all participate in one shared reality....'Reality' is not as shared as we may think. Research indicates that 40-80% of people have out-of-the-ordinary experiences at some times in their lives, although talking about it is rare. I commend Mariellen Gilpin for her courage to describe her own unique experiences. We may not all need to name our intense feelings as demons or deal with our demons as the author does, but she does deal with them. The voices of persons labeled with mental illnesses are voices in our communities that need to be heard.

God's Politics

Why The Right Gets It Wrong And The Left Doesn't Get It

BY JIM WALLIS
God's Politics offers a clarion call to make both our religious communities and our government more accountable to key values of the prophetic religious tradition -- that is, make them pro-justice, pro-peace, pro-environment, pro-equality, pro-consistent ethic of life (beyond single issue voting), and pro-family (without making scapegoats of single mothers or gays and lesbians). Our biblical faith and religious traditions simply do not allow us as a nation to continue to ignore the poor and marginalized, deny racial justice, tolerate the ravages of war, or turn away from the human rights of those made in the image of God.
