What could be better than another collection of spiritual stories and reflections from Father James Stephen Behrens? Faithful followers and first-time readers alike will welcome this collection of vivid, colorful portraits of people, places and events that have touched his life. Behrens paints these memories of grace with the clarity, precision and warmth that brings each character and situation to life. He weaves the everyday and the unusual into the fabric of his portraits, always seeing and sharing the presence of God and the lingering memory of grace in each story.
Join Trappist monk James Stephen Behrens as we reflects on the people, places, and events that have touched his life. Grace Revisited combines two award-winning books (Grace Is Everywhere and Memories of Grace) into one treasured album. A new introduction and photographs from Behrens complete this unique book.
Take a look inside a Trappist monastery through the eyes of this gifted priest and author. Let his insightful, touching stories introduce you to the monks who live there and the lay people who come to enrich their lives. Marvel as he looks at ordinary events and realizes that God's grace is everywhere. Learn how monastic spirituality can impact your everyday life in a positive way.
Over one hundred original photographs from the monastery are featured in Portraits of Grace; each captivating image is accompanied by brief snippets of inspirational words to spark reflection and inner thought. Behrens uses many examples from modern life, including the complications of travel, people's burgeoning interest in self-help books, time, love, stories from the news and his own varied and unique personal experiences to weave brief reflections and essays into something that, over time, develops its own quiet insistence. He urges us to find the startling in the mundane, silence and meditation in the noise, and mercy in our anger. In short, he urges us to find the peaceful, loving God in our otherwise hectic, busy, and oftentimes all too self-involved lives.
Para ayudarnos a tener todos los días un espacio de tiempo dedicado a nuestro Dios, James Stephen Behrens nos ofrece a nosotros, cristianos ocupados y faltos de tiempo, estas pequeñas reflexiones para cada día del año donde podemos encontrar motivos para la alabanza, el agradecimiento, el arrepentimiento y, en definitiva, el amor. Él lo hace presentándonos pequeñas anécdotas de la vida diaria. Nos enseña, así, a ver en las pequeñas cosas que nos rodean y en los acontecimientos que nos ocurren a nosotros y a los de nuestro alrededor, la mayoría de ellos triviales, la mano amorosa de Dios que nos ofrece día a día la posibilidad de descubrirle a nuestro lado.
