A String and a Prayer
Eleanor Wiley and Maggie Oman Shannon have taken an ancient practice and made it new. A String and a Prayer recounts the history and symbolism of prayer beads, teaches basic techniques for stringing beads and a host of other objects into prayer beads, and offers a variety of prayers and rituals to use those beads on a daily basis. Beads have appeared throughout history. Prayer beads are used in the spiritual practices of cultures as diverse as the African Masai, Native Americans, Greek and Russian Orthodoxy, as well as the religious rituals of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism. But prayer is highly personal. By infusing prayer beads with personal associations, we can keep our spiri...
The Way We Pray
Collecting prayer practices from around the world, the author introduces readers to her favorites--fifty forms of prayer, worship, and meditation, with details about their history and roots in particular religious traditions. Original.
Devil in My Arms
A brilliant devil meets his match at last, and the dangers they face in each others arms are unmistakable: temptation, seduction, and maybe even love. Eleanor Enderby is not at all what Sir Hilary St. John expected. Her quiet beauty, bravery—and willfulness—are nothing like the skittish and plain woman that he was asked to find. Hil is a world-renowned scholar and detective, yet she matches him word for word and move for move in their verbal sparring matches. Mild interest gives way to infatuation and finally obsession. And though he cannot—or will not—say exactly why, he is determined not to let her come to more harm. Six months after finding refuge with her sister Harry, thought de...

Beginning Again
A practical and spiritual guide to find God during times of health crisis or chronic disease. In 1995 Mary Earle was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis. When she was able to return home, she still faced a long recovery. She had to stay in bed most of the time, and eating was difficult some days. The busy life she had always known was gone, and she had to begin again. Like others who suffer from serious or chronic conditions, Mary Earle found that living with illness can require major adjustments in life. Using St. Benedict's ancient Rule--his way of ordering the life and days of religious communities--Beginning Again teaches readers how to discern a rule of life that helps them with change...
Elinor Wylie
Elinor Wylie (September 7, 1885 – December 16, 1928) was a popular American poet and novelist of the 1920s. Miss Elinor Hoyt, commuting between Mainline Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., led an outwardly conventional social life which concealed a disastrous domestic life. She became notorious, during her lifetime, for her multiple affairs and marriages, which often made its way into her writings. She was a beautiful though glacial and formal woman—highly erotic, savoring the pursuit more than the consummation. Most women instinctively sensed that—like Byron—she was mad, bad, and dangerous to know—particularly if they had husbands at risk of succumbing. During her short span of eight years as a writer, Elinor published four volumes of poetry and four novels, all garnering praise. Many of her works offered insight into the difficulties of marriage and the impossible expectations that come with womanhood. Wylie was lauded for her passionate writing, fueled by ethereal descriptors, historical references, and feminist undertones.

There Are No Mistakes
There are no mistakes -- there are only choices. That is the simple premise of There Are No Mistakes, which Eleanor Wiley has learned in twenty-five years of sobriety as a mediator, an artist, and a teacher. This astoundingly candid and simple book is illustrated with personal stories from the author and people she has encountered on her path, along with specific and simple exercises to do at the end of each chapter. Wiley acknowledges that you won't be perfect and you may not be happy all of the time, and you may not be rich or amazingly enlightened, but you will be okay. And, the thing about okay is that it's really a great thing--it's about moving through the world with a sense of grace a...
