This invaluable addition to the Spiritual Legacy series is a popular presentation of the spiritual genius of Dante as revealed in his great epic, The Divine Comedy, a literary masterpiece that is enjoying a renaissance as a spiritual masterpiece as well. In the course of exploring the human pilgrimage on Earth in his legendary poem, Dante lays out a spiritual path through the canticles of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Readers familiar with the series will appreciate the careful but reader-friendly approach to the actual poetry, as well as the fine biographical portrayal of Dante himself. |

Here is a welcome addition to the "Spiritual
Legacy Series"--a revealing study of the life and works of a one-woman
phenomenon: Hildegard of Bingen. The Benedictine mystic (born in 1098)
left a rich legacy of books, music, art, holistic healing, and theology
that is still thriving today. |
|
The astonishing freshness and variety of this selection from the work of Hildegard of Bingen demonstrates triumphantly why this twelfth-century Benedictine mystic has come to be recognized as one of the most remarkable and versatile women of the middle ages. |

Jurjen Beumer's seminal work traces the arc of Henri Nouwen's life from the beginning in Nijkerk, Holland to his final resting place on the outskirts of Toronto near Daybreak, the community of people he loved and served. In this book, the reader meets Nouwen as an always restless seeker who gradually becomes more at home with God and with himself. The reader is exposed to a vital spirituality that can relate both to one's own life and seeking for wholeness, and to the world at large. Ordained in Holland and trained as a psychologist and a theologian, Fr. Nouwen taught at Notre Dame before becoming a professor at the Yale Divinity School from 1971 to 1981. For the next three years he taught theology at Harvard. From then until the time of his death he was the pastor of Daybreak, a L'Arche community in Toronto, a worldwide organization that provides homes for the mentally and physically handicapped. Nouwen was a psychologist of the heart and of the soul; he wrote not only to guide others but to discover himself. Better known in the United States and Canada than in his native Netherlands, he was a public speaker, a retreat leader, and the author of 38 books, many of which were translated into several foreign languages. |

An irresistible invitation to experience intimacy with God, others, and self. "What
we long for most," writes susan Muto, "are not occasional
thrills but the grace of steady, everyday intimacy." She convinces
us that like Augustine (from whom comes the book's title) it is never
too late to recover a sense of intimacy with God, others, and our true
self. Reading her book is itself an intimate experience; the author
shares personal stories as well as lessons she has learned. She celebrates
intimacy with love, work and play - a feeling of union and communion
available to each of us here and now. |

Great theologians are often great teachers of prayer as well: Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Teresa of Avila, Martin Luther, Diertrich Bonhoeffer - and Karl Rahner. This personal book, composed over a lifetime, is the fruit of rich human experience, deep faith, and profound theological reflection. |

Richard Rohr is one of the best teachers the church has today. His passion is to link the spiritual life with social transformation. |
|
