Drawing From Wisdoms Well
$19.95
The Samaritan woman, Martha, Julian of Norwich-if these women could speak to us today, what would they say? About their lives, about their faith . . . and about ours?
Gloria Ulterino brings to life these and many other women of faith in this extraordinary collection of communal celebrations. Firmly rooted in contemporary scholarship, set in the context of prayer and reflection, and charged with the energy of the author’s imaginative gifts, these celebrations involve us in the stories, the struggles, the hopes, and the deepest convictions of these amazing women of scripture and history.
Each of the thirteen prayer services is accompanied by an intriguing background study that situates the lives of these women-named and unnamed-in their own time and place. The celebrations faithfully portray each one and draw out the connections to the experience and concerns of contemporary women of faith. The rituals gently lead participants to pray with their own struggles with faith and the church, and to discover the constant presence of holy Wisdom in it all.
Ideal for small faith sharing groups, retreat settings, and larger communal settings, Drawing from Wisdom’s Well brings a sense of solidarity and hope to contemporary women on a journey of faith.

Roxy The Ritzy Camel

Brightly illustrated by Richard Cowdrey and written in engaging, funny rhyme, this storybook follows Roxy’s journey from her waterless home in the desert to a great city of beauty she’s heard about but never seen. Along the way she learns that the only way to attain true happiness is to share–or even give away–what she possesses.

Prayer In The Digital Age
$16.99Add to cartThe digital age is an age of information overload. In this noisy, technology-driven world, full of important news and urgent messages, spending silent time in prayer can seem impossible.
In his second book, Matt Swaim brings to light the obstacles to prayer inherent in our digitally-connected culture and explores both the challenges and benefits of living a Christian life in the 21st century. Drawing on the spiritual wisdom of such masters as St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Therese of Lisieux, and Venerable Pope John Paul II, Swaim provides practical suggestions for learning how to “unplug” and incorporate prayer into one’s daily life.
Delve into how technology truly affects our faith:
In a culture suffering from information overload, what’s the difference between knowing facts about God and actually knowing God?
How does our desire to be entertained interfere with knowing God as He really is, rather than just as we want to perceive Him?
What are the distinctions between employing media and information as tools to aid evangelization and spiritual growth while avoiding a purely consumer approach to the faith?
How can information overload deaden our ability to listen?
