Spirituality

The purpose of this book is to suggest ways of finding the treasure in what we may consider an unlikely field--ourselves. Through many practical suggestions for heightened prayer, including Ignatian exercises and Jungian exploration, God of Surprises guides readers along the inner journey which reveals to us a God we may not have expected to find.

Written for 'bewildered, confused and disillusioned Christians' as a guide for the inner spiritual journey in which we are all engaged, God of Surprises is an unforgettable book that has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of readers.

To speak of God in pain is to consider no only the biblical accounts of Christ's suffering and death, but also to proclaim that God is present in our pain. Barbara Brown Taylor explores the eternal mystery of suffering from human and divine perspectives with her characteristic grace, sensitivity and profound biblical insight.

God in our Midst follows the pattern of the Christian year, with sections on 'Advent, Christmas and Epiphany', 'Jesus' Ministry' and 'Holy Week and Easter'. But the book also contains two sections devoted to pieces that either draw their immediate inspiration from the Old Testament, or have been written for special occasions.
