Church Community Of Salvation

Mirror Of Charity
$36.95Add to cartAelred of Rievaulx possessed a personal charm which drew friends and disciples naturally to him. His own experience of human weakness in a worldly life at the court of King David of Scotland made him sensitive to the doctrine of charity which he found among cistercian monks.
The Mirror of Charity gives us a solid theology of the cistercian life. Aelred’s deep knowledge of Scripture, his joy in his brethren, and his love of Christ shine from every page. Because the divine nature is love, as the Bible tells us, directing our love to God-love conforms us to the image of God that has been lost through sin. All love, to Aelred, is a participation in God-love that leads us to union.
The Mirror of Charity, written at the beginning of his monastic life, and Spiritual Friendship, written near its end, form a set. Together they demonstrate both the consistency of his teaching and his unswerving love of God in Christ.

Passion Of Jesus In The Gospel Of Matthew
$24.95Add to cartThe Word of the cross is a living word, crying out for reinterpretation as life takes new shape and expression.

For us twentieth-century Christians, who also know the peculiar suffering and hope of living in an age that is both dying and being born, the Passion of Jesus according to Matthew has special meaning.

Art Of Choosing
$15.00Add to cart“Never am I more “I” than when I stand serene, survey the field, weigh my choices, set my face in one direction, and advance with firm step and joyful heart. To know what I want to do and do it is the essence of life.”
Our decisions — from the most mundance of day-to-day living to those fork-in-the-road choices of great consequence — chart the course of our existence. How can we make decisions carefully and thoughfully, so as to live more deliberately meaningful — and happier — lives? Carlos G. Valles, author of “Mastering Sadhana: On Retreat with Anthony de Mello,” here explores the process of discernment and decision-making. Using scripture, insights from Ignatian spirituality, and contemporary examples, the author illustrates the how and why of making choices and living comfortably with their consequences, whether they be positive or negative. “If my life is my choices,” he writes, “I want my choices to be the best they can be. I want to master the art of choosing.”
