Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Readers will recognize their own pets - and themselves - in the many stories about Mush, Brick, and Phoebe, some of the animal companions who have filled Taylor's life. Fascinating insights from those who have studied the lives of pets and other animals add to the richness and depth of Taylor's text. Heart-warming and inspiring, The Spirituality of Pets invites readers to explore their own spirituality, through the lens of the animals who share their lives. As Taylor says, You may wonder, can animals teach spirituality if they don't have spirituality themselves? Our pets may or may not have spirituality themselves - and by the way, I do think that many animals experience elements of awe and wonder, just as we do - but certainly our association with them affects our own spirituality. Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photography, The Spirituality of Pets celebrates the love and life and learning our pets bring to us, and the many ways they can open us to the world of the spirit.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Whether your loss is new or ancient, whether your grief is about death, a relationship estrangement, a move, or the shattering of a dream, any of these 30 stories may have something to say to you. Nancy Reeves' hope in sharing the tales in Found Through Loss: Healing Stories from Scripture and Everyday Sacredness is that readers will grow through their experience. Growth pushes the griever past limitations, enhances personal qualities, teaches healthier living patterns, and encourages the griever in the expression of their true self - a self that is made in God's image. The grieving people who shared their stories in this book were changed as their grieving diminished. In some way, they became more than they had been before their loss - they were found through loss. Concepts and strategies for healing provided in Found Through Loss can be used individually, in groups, or as material for sermons. Reeves reads selected stories on the two CDs provided in the book. The courage, the love, and the wisdom shown by these grievers are deeply touching. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Matthew Fox has done it again. As one of the most prophetic voices of our time, he has created a unique new project that speaks the concerns and hopes of all of us who care about creating lives of meaning - for ourselves, our communities, our children and our children's children. The A.W.E. Project reminds us that awe is the appropriate response to the unfathomable wonder that is creation - from the magnificence of galaxies, to the complex and brilliant process of cell-differentiation, and the miracle of the humanhand (product of 14 billion years of evolution). Imagine how much richer learning will be for all ages when we intentionally cultivate a sense of appreciation and wonder. A.W.E. is also the acronym for Fox's proposed style of learning - an approach to balance the three R's. This approach to learning, eldering, and mentoring is intelligent enough to honor the teachings of the Ancestors, to nurture Wisdom in addition to imparting knowledge, and to Educate through Fox's 10 C's. The 10 C's are the core of the A.W.E. philosophy and process of education, and include: compassion, contemplation, and creativity. The A.W.E. Project does for the vast subject of learning what Fox's Reinvention of Work did for vocation and Original Blessing did for theology. With passion and conviction, Fox turns conventional education upside down, shakes out what is no longer working, and offers visions of what can be.…
