Like the previous three volumes, &lt;i&gt;Christmas in My Heart, a Fourth Treasury&lt;/i&gt; is bound to become as dog-eared and tattered from readings and rereadings in that place we call home. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;These cherished tales tell of sorrow turned to joy, sadness overcome by hope, gifts made priceless with heartfelt love, and dreams that can only come alive in this magical holiday season. Never one to disappoint, Joe Wheeler has done it again with this collection of stories that radiate the warmth of Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

With this book, Merton's art at last moves out of the shadows to be appreciated for what it is: a revealing expression of his state of mind and heart in the 1960s, and a visual correlative to his mature works of spiritual writing such as &lt;i&gt;New Seeds of Contemplation&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander&lt;/i&gt;. Roger Lipsey provides a fascinating analysis of the simple and striking images and their significance in Merton's journey. He find in them resonances with Asian calligraphy and American abstract expressionism, and relates them to the influence of Merton's wide circle of friends, which included such diverse figures as the Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain, the poet Czeslaw Milosz, the Zen scholar D. T. Suzuki, and the artist Ad Reinhardt&amp;#8212;among many others.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the centerpiece of the book is the art itself, presented in a portfolio of thirty-four representative pieces that reflect the changing themes and methods of Merton's work. Each is accompanied by selections from his writings from the 1960s that reflect the inward and outward territories Merton was exploring in the period when these remarkable images were created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Why has his appeal endured over eight hundred years and even expanded beyond the world of Catholicism to make him one of the most beloved religious figures of all time? This penetrating meditation on Francis's life gently but sure-handedly cuts through every pious legend to uncover what is timeless and universally true about him. Christian Bobin's unexpected and thoroughly original work presents a compelling image of a man whose power is found in humility, whose radical casting aside of wealth, honor, and even personal identity is inseparable from his overwhelming intimacy with God. Poetic, luminous, utterly hypnotic,  &lt;i&gt;The Very Lowly &lt;/i&gt; is a unique modern variation on the saint's life that will entrance everyone, whether &amp;quot;religious&amp;quot; or&amp;mdash;almost especially&amp;mdash;not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Author and noted scholar Elaine Pagels suggests that Christianity could have developed quite differently if Gnostic texts had become part of the Christian canon.  Without a doubt: Gnosticism celebrates God as both Mother and Father, shows a very human Jesus's relationship to Mary Magdalene, suggests the Resurrection is better understood symbolically, and speaks to self-knowledge as the route to union with God.  Pagels argues that Christian orthodoxy grew out of the political considerations of the day, serving to legitimize and consolidate early church leadership.  Her contrast of that developing orthodoxy with Gnostic teachings presents an intriguing trajectory on a world faith as it &amp;quot;might have become.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Compact Disc edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

First published in 1979 to critical acclaim, winning the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, &lt;b&gt;The Gnostic Gospels&lt;/b&gt; has continued to grow in reputation and influence over the past two decades. It is now widely recognized as one of the most brilliant and accessible histories of early Christian spirituality published in our time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 1945 an Egyptian peasant unearthed what proved to be the Gnostic Gospels, thirteen papyrus volumes that expounded a radically different view of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from that of the New Testament. In this spellbinding book, renowned religious scholar Elaine Pagels elucidates the mysteries and meanings of these sacred texts both in the world of the first Christians and in the context of Christianity today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With insight and passion, Pagels explores a remarkable range of recently discovered gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, to show how a variety of &amp;#8220;Christianities&amp;#8221; emerged at a time of extraordinary spiritual upheaval. Some Christians questioned the need for clergy and church doctrine, and taught that the divine could be discovered through spiritual search. Many others, like Buddhists and Hindus, sought enlightenment&amp;#8212;and access to God&amp;#8212;within. Such explorations raised questions: Was the resurrection to be understood symbolically and not literally? Was God to be envisioned only in masculine form, or feminine as well? Was martyrdom a necessary&amp;#8212;or worthy&amp;#8212;expression of faith? These early Christians dared to ask questions that orthodox Christians later suppressed&amp;#8212;and their explorations led to profoundly different visions of Jesus and his message. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Brilliant, provocative, and stunning in its implications, &lt;b&gt;The Gnostic Gospels&lt;/b&gt; is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

This bold new book explores how Christianity began by tracing its earliest texts, including the secret Gospel of Thomas, rediscovered in Egypt in 1945.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When her infant son was diagnosed with fatal pulmonary hypertension, Elaine Pagels&amp;#8217;s spiritual and intellectual quest took on a new urgency, leading her to explore historical and archeological sources and to investigate what Jesus and his teachings meant to his followers before the invention of doctrine&amp;#8211;and before the invention of Christianity as we know it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The astonishing discovery of the Gospel of Thomas, along with more than fifty other early Christian texts unknown since antiquity, offers startling clues. Pagels compares such sources as Thomas&amp;#8217;s gospel (which claims to give Jesus&amp;#8217; secret teaching, and finds its closest affinities with kabbalah) with the canonic texts to show how Christian leaders chose to include some gospels and exclude others from the collection we have come to know as the New Testament. To stabilize the emerging Christian church in times of devastating persecution, the church fathers constructed the canon, creed, and hierarchy&amp;#8211;and, in the process, suppressed many of its spiritual resources. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Drawing on new scholarship&amp;#8211;her own, and that of an international group of scholars&amp;#8211;that has come to light since the publication in 1979 of The Gnostic Gospels, Pagels shows that what matters about Christianity involves much more than any one set of beliefs. Traditions embodied in Judaism and Christianity can powerfully affect us in heart, mind, and spirit, inspire visions of a new society based on practicing justice and love, even heal and transform us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Provocative, beautifully written, and moving, &lt;i&gt;Beyond Belief&lt;/i&gt;, the most personal of Pagels&amp;#8217;s books to date, shows how &amp;#8220;the impulse to seek God overflows the narrow banks of a single tradition.&amp;#8221; Pagels writes, &amp;#8220;What I have come to love in the wealth and diversity of our religious traditions&amp;#8211;and the communities that sustain them&amp;#8211;is that they offer the testimony of innumerable people to spiritual discovery, encouraging us, in Jesus&amp;#8217; words, to &amp;#8216;seek, and you shall find.&amp;#8217;&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In addition to L?Engle?s vast reader base, &lt;i&gt;The Genesis Trilogy&lt;/i&gt; will be embraced by the literary community (which deeply respects L?Engle?s award-winning work) and all those who seek to experience more fully the truths represented in Genesis. Book 1 of the trilogy, &lt;i&gt;And It Was Good,&lt;/i&gt; speaks especially to those captivated by the creation story and those interested in new beginnings, while Book 2, &lt;i&gt;A Stone for a Pillow,&lt;/i&gt; holds treasure for those seeking answers to the questions posed during their inner and outer journeys. Book 3, &lt;i&gt;Sold into Egypt,&lt;/i&gt; provides hope to those who have experienced grief and loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

But there was another dimension to Donne's life and writing that, if less well known, is no less profound and beautiful. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Born into an aristocratic Catholic family, Donne joined the Church of England at the age of twenty-one out of fear of persecution. At the age of forty-three, he gave up his preoccupations with secular prestige and devoted himself utterly to religion. It was eight years later when, battered with fever, the deaths of his beloved wife, several of his children, and many dear lifelong friends, he composed &lt;b&gt;Devotions upon Emergent Occasions&lt;/b&gt;. There is both trauma and great drama in this extended meditation on the meaning of mortality, the possibility of salvation, and the true nature of the passage of eternal life. With a new introduction by poet and biographer Andrew Motion, one of the most revered books of Christian devotion speaks to us again of the higher aspirations of man and the always-present possibility of a relationship with God. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This long out of print edition also contains Donne's last sermon, &amp;quot;Death's Duel&amp;quot; as well as the short colorful biography of him written by his contemporary Izaak Walton. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
