Story
What do you do when life makes a sharp left turn? When the coronavirus pandemic hit, Terry Hershey found himself unexpectedly asking that question; and as a popular speaker and author, he was inundated with other people asking it too. In Stand Still, Hershey lays out the answer: that in every unforeseen challenge there is an invitation to pause, re-evaluate the status quo, and welcome the change of heart that is knocking on your door. “Transformative events will be hard,” he writes. “So, whatever love is in your heart, nurture it. Develop it. Grow it. Spread it.”

Story
Most of us fall short of fully living out our values, especially if they are countercultural ones like simplicity and soulfulness. As both a family man and the executive director of the Passionist Earth & Spirit Center in Kentucky, Kyle Kramer knows that struggle. In Making Room, he writes not only as an eco-spiritual expert, but also as a fellow pilgrim on the journey toward simplicity, which he defines as the choices that create the freedom to honor our own deepest needs, the concentric circles of human relationships, and God’s gifts of the natural world.

Story
We are born to savor life, to live in the moment. What holds us back? When we stop the noise, the distraction, the compulsion to perform, the fear of rejection, we make space to savor the power of the present moment. We carry this capacity to honor the present into every encounter and relationship, meaning that we honor the dignity that is reflected by God’s goodness and grace. Every encounter, every relationship, is a place to include, invite mercy, encourage, receive, heal, reconcile, repair, say thank you, pray, celebrate, refuel, and restore.

Story
The human heart’s greatest longing is to see God as he is. And yet, many people simply want to escape hell’s pain, or even worse, they follow our disordered fallen nature in choosing sinful pleasures. Our Lord said the road to heaven is narrow, but the road to hell is wide (see Matt. 7:13). Is choosing the road to heaven merely wanting to avoid pain, or is it actively pursuing the greatest good beyond imagining?

Story
Richard Rohr focuses on finding God in the depths of silence. Divine silence is more than the absence of noise; it has a life of its own. We are invited into its living presence to find the wholeness of being and peace it brings. This book will inspire you and show that the peace of contemplation is not something just for monks, mystics, and those divorced from the worries of the world, but rather for all people who can quiet their own mind to listen in the silence.
Publisher's Summary
"What must I do to gain eternal life?” The rich man who asked this of Jesus was told to sell all he had and give to the poor. But, more importantly, he was told, “Come, follow me!” Franciscan Casey Cole challenges us to let go of something more difficult than material wealth: expectations, anxiety, comfort, wounds, enemies, power - and our very selves. Speaking from both personal and pastoral experience, he outlines the stumbling blocks that turn us away from following Jesus as true disciples.
The response to “What must I do?” is simple but not easy: Let go. Now.
Critic Reviews
"Fr. Casey Cole, OFM has crafted a map for anyone seeking to live out God's will. By giving the reader permission to drop the facade of perfection and having it all together, Cole points towards a Christian path of freedom and simplicity. Utterly readable and exuding Cole's easy-going personality, Let Go is a joy to read." (Mike St. Pierre, executive director of Catholic Campus Ministry Association)
"When it comes to growing in holiness, I am my own worst enemy, constantly putting stumbling blocks between myself and my savior. Thanks be to God, Casey Cole, OFM, has come to my rescue - and yours - with some practical guidance for letting go of our stumbling blocks and embracing all Christ wants us to be." (Tommy Tighe, author of Catholic Hipster)
