Story
Lent is about more than going to church on weekdays and giving up chocolate or social media. It’s also a time to form one’s heart and mind through study and prayer. In Where the Eye Alights, Marilyn McEntyre offers 40 short meditations, based on excerpts from Scripture and poetry, that guide listeners on a devotional journey from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday. As in lectio divina - the spiritual practice of reading Scripture repetitively and meditatively - McEntyre invites us to notice words that may give us pause and summon us to reflection.

Story
Many Christians are disconnected from the past or imagine they are "above" history, immune to it, as if self-starters from clean slates in every generation. They suffer from a lack of awareness of time and the effects of history—both personal and collective—and thus are naive about current issues and fixated on the end times. Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for orienting faith in the twenty-first century.

Story
Jonas McAnn is a weary pastor without a congregation, trapped in a dead-end insurance job. Granby Presbyterian is a weary congregation without a pastor, overwhelmed by the prospect of finding someone who actually wants to be a pastor - not a manager, coach, or CEO. When Granby's pastoral search committee and Jonas connect through handwritten letters passed back and forth, something sparks between them.

Publisher's Summary
Those who want to avoid simplistic partisan rhetoric and use words in a challenging, spirited way need practical strategies. This audiobook offers a range of them. Drawing upon the work of exemplary contemporary writers, Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict shows how to speak and write clearly and generously.
For example, we can attend more carefully to the effects of metaphors, recognize and avoid glib euphemisms, define terms in ways that retrieve core meanings and revitalize them, and enrich our sense of history by deft use of allusion.
Contemporary listeners are awash in many words that have been cheapened and profaned. But with deliberate use of intelligence and grace, we can redeem their “sacramentality”. Humanely uttered words can become a life-giving means of clarity and compassion.
Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict is an homage to the outstanding wordsmiths who have achieved that potential and an invitation to follow them in making well-chosen words instruments of peace.
