Books
written by Joyce Rupp that are available in the Philippines
Readers will find here a unique invitation to join with God in the dance of life, an invitation to experience God in the daily and seasonal rhythms of life. May I Have This Dance? explores twelve major themes, each one followed by prayer suggestions which include litanies, creative writing, guided meditations, ideas for reflection and journal keeping. Rupp shows us that prayer is a dance with the Divine, a joyous and hope-filled experience, an inner dance in which God takes the lead, guiding us through the joys and sorrows of life.
From
the Publisher We all
have our own unique goodbyes - times when we lose someone or something
that has given our lives meaning and value. With
the touch of a poet, Joyce Rupp has written a book about "these experiences
of leaving behind and moving on, the stories of union and separation that
are written in all our hearts." Praying Our Goodbyes, she says, is
about the spirituality of change. It is
a book for anyone who has experienced loss, whether it be a job change,
the end of a friendship, the death of a loved one, a financial struggle,
a mid-life crisis or an extended illness. It is designed to help readers
reflect, ritualize, and re-orient themselves -- to help heal the hurts
caused by goodbyes and the anxieties encountered by change. While
focusing on the spiritual aspect of loss, Rupp maintains a sound theological
and psychological grounding. She bases her reflections on scripture and
treats a number of themes: the "ache" common to humankind, how
to identify particular aches, attitudes toward suffering, Jesus and goodbyes,
the life of "pilgrims" and the freedom of letting go. Each
chapter concludes with probing questions, and the book ends with 24 prayer
experiences incorporating images, symbols and rituals as sources of strength
and steppingstones toward healing. Thoughts
from the Author… "
...Although life is difficult and always has its share of sorrows, life
is also very good and deeply enriching. It holds many promises of growth
and treasures of joy. It is not easy to believe this when we are hurting
greatly because of our loss. Sometimes it takes years to understand and
accept this truth. That is how it has been for me.
An Invitation - and - a treasure map - to discover the spiritual riches that are uniquely yours. Joyce Rupp shares her own midlife journey - its ups and downs - with such honesty and insight that you will surely identify with the benefit from the discoveries she has made along the way. Among them:
In an extraordinary sequence of quieting verse and meditative writing, Joyce Rupp reflects on Sophia - Feminine Wisdom in the Hebrew Scriptures. Each healing reflection invites us to dip into Sophia's quiet guidance and come away refreshed. Sophia emerges as a comforting presence in the process of examining our old beliefs, left-over hurts, self-acceptance, and connection with the earth. Accompanying mandalas and suggestions for spiritual exercises and journaling make this book especially valuable for personal meditation and growth, and as a group resource/study guide.
God is always there, always waiting for our invitation to come in. Yet sometimes we need help hearing the knock at the door, putting some time aside, or beginning the conversation. In this collection of scriptural reflections and prayers, Joyce Rupp offers us the encouragement we so often require to stop and pray. Her thoughtful, perceptive reflections on scripture guide us as we open our hearts and ponder the meaning of God's word in our lives. And her poetic personal prayers help us find words for the longings in our hearts. Inviting God In is organized according to the seasons of the church year, from Advent and Christmas, to Lent and Easter, and on through the days of Ordinary Time and particular festivals. Each entry is just one page long, beginning with a verse from scripture followed by a reflection and a prayer. The book begins with an insightful reflection on prayer as "God's Gift to Us," reminding us of those basic truths about prayer that are sometimes easy to forget. One of our best-loved spiritual writers, Joyce Rupp once again sets just the right tone to invite us to pray.
Anyone thirsting
for a more intimate and disciplined life of prayer will find a rich wellspring
in The Cup of Our Life. In this original and practical book Joyce Rupp
shares how the ordinary cups that we use each day can become sacred vessels
that connect us with life and draw us ever closer to God. She explores
how the cup is a rich symbol of life, with its emptiness and fullness,
its brokenness and flaws, and all of its blessings. This creative guide for individual and group prayer offers six weekly themes based on different images of the cup. The open cup, the chipped cup, the blessing cup…each in turn becomes a teacher in prayer. For each day the author offers a short inviting essay, a wisdom saying, a scripture verse, a brief meditation, questions for journaling, and suggestion for keeping the theme close to one's heart throughout the day. The reflective art that accompanies each theme offers yet another inspiration for prayer. The Cup of Our Life can also be used with groups that meet regularly for spiritual growth. Simple, helpful suggestions for group sharing and ritual are provided for each of the six weeks. The Cup of Our Life
will both revitalize and enrich your relationship with the Divine.
