Jesus and Mature Love
"Every paragraph of this compelling book calls for liberatory action, enabling radical transformation and planetary survival." - Kathy Kelly, board president of World BEYOND War "Len Desroches' passion for peace is a bright flame, a torch in a dark world. May its light so shine as to ignite action and the building of heaven among us." - Joy Kogawa, novelist, poet "How have we been neglecting the deepest form of love for ourselves and all others? Moving toward this kind of mature love is a courageous, intentional, act of resistance." - Emma Whitla, university student "As someone who had previously not heard of love of enemy as a concept for the world, it really made me think about alternative...
The Radical Gospel of Bishop Thomas Gumbleton
"Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, ordained a bishop in 1968, was one of the youngest bishops in the United States. He seemed to be a rising star, but at some point, beginning with his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War, he chose to opt for discipleship rather than a successful church career. He become a prophetic voice for peace and justice, serving as founding president of Pax-Christi USA, and as a member of the committee that drafted the US bishops' historic pastoral letter on nuclear war. Since then he has been an advocate for the poor and homeless, for victims of clergy sex abuse, for welcoming gays in the church, and for promoting the role of women"--

Northern Lights
Canada is known for its wild and diverse physical geography. But do Canadians have a spiritual geography- an identity uniquely shaped by their land, their history, their people? This first-of-its-kind collection brings together writings from within the Christian heritage to help Canadians explore that question. The forty-six contributors include award-winning literary figures, religious and political leaders, and social activists from one end of Canada to the other. Their traditions range from evangelical to Catholic, mainline Protestant to Orthodox, Pentecostal to Mennonite. Some still have family connections beyond Canada's borders; others have ancestors who were her long before Europeans came. These writers do not analyze, define, or argue about Christianity in Canada. They simply showcase it through their memoir or poetry, fiction or meditation -mapping into words something of what it means to be Christian in this country. The spiritual landscape they paint is diverse, inspiring, and provocative. It's a colourful dance of words, a wonderful Canadian celebration.
Allow the Water
Allow the Water combines an introduction to nonviolence with a deeper exploration into some of its dimensions. Though its style is mainly that of storytelling, there are also as many helpful references as possible. The book is 500 pages long, but photos and drawings make up almost half the volume. This is an exploration of the spirituality and practice of the force of love we inadequately call "nonviolence." Nonviolence is people and their stories before it is idea - a way of living and acting, not just a way of thinking. This book is one contribution to an urgently needed conversation. It is not meant to be "complete." There are questions, observations and convictions. Hopefully, in their thoroughness and simplicity, the contribute to our common search.
