There’s so much noise. Everything can seem like a distraction. Distraction, in fact, seems like it is our oxygen. When was the last time you saw people talking on an elevator? We seem to plug in everywhere. We don’t even look up from our earphones and screens, never mind find time for silence. Our hearts need quiet. How are we ever going to pray otherwise? How could we ever possibly know God’s love and will—and the truth about ourselves and the world—without resting in him?

Three men go to sleep and have a similar dream. In it, a young woman appears to them. While they know nothing of her, she knows quite a lot about them. One is a judge; one is an ambitious businessman and the third is a man struggling to find meaning in his life's work. None of them suspect that the strange woman they meet in their dreams will affect their lives in ways that prove to be fatefully consequential. Her name is Perpetua, a young woman and mother arrested, condemned and executed in North Africa in the first decade of the third century, a time when Roman law sanctioned the public ...

A New Spirituality of Holiness This book explores the rich traditions of the Celtic saints and their kinship with animals. The accounts of these individuals’ lives constitute the largest body of stories (hagiographies) of any group in Christian history—so to have so many creature stories included in them reveals the deep love early and medieval Celts had for animals, with their saints sharing this quality to the full. As we read these stories, we discover that they not only record what the Celtic saints did for animals but also what the animals did for the saints. This pattern of ...

Christian writer, C.S. Lewis once made the point that people tend to either obsess over demons or deny their existence entirely - and the devil is equally pleased either way. The Bible is clear. Our battle is not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual forces (Eph. 6:12). At the same time, however, the Bible makes it clear that the evil forces, devils and demons, are powerless in comparison to God. If God is for us, who can be against us? Even the demons shudder in the presence of God (James 2:19).

If following Jesus involves a life of sacrifice and suffering, is it wrong for a Christian to seek purpose and joy in this world? Many Christians sense tension between their desires to enjoy life in this world--the beauty of God’s creation, the rich love of deep relationships with others--and the reality that this world is fallen and broken, in need of redemption. How can we embrace and thrive in the tension between enjoying creation and promoting redemption?
