Grounded in Love: Ecology, Faith, and Action
www.kenarnoldbooks.com
A series of lively and personal meditations leads the reader from the love in which all meaningful action is grounded, through the concern which is the catalyst for action and the ethics which guides our decision-making, to a consideration of some of the practical actions we can take in order to embody our hope for the earth's future. Each meditation is preceded by a quotation from a spiritual tradition and followed by a prayer exercise. |
The Breath of God: an Approach to Prayer
(Church Publishing, 2006)
How our physical breath can become a metaphor for the many ways of praying. The text is interspersed with exercises, and is useful for both individual and group exploration of prayer. |
An Invitation to Christian Yoga Book and CD
A theological rationale and simple guide to hatha yoga in a Christian context. Whatever one's age, the practices in this book will stretch both body and soul. (CD included)
|
Organic Prayer
From soil to seeds to harvest, the garden can teach us much about the ways of God. "Spadework" at the end of each chapter adds an experiential component, for individuals or groups. |
|
This book offers a "smorgasbord" of ways to integrate body and spirit in the journey of faith. The author suggests ways of using the exercise we already do (from Hatha Yoga, Pilates, walking and swimming to housework and gardening) as spiritual practice. Further sections provide ideas about expressing prayer through movement and understanding our bodies as "temples" of God's spirit.

|
|
The story of some hymn texts (about 70 in each volume) selected from The Hymnal 1982, each followed by a meditation. Useful for preaching, teaching, and personal prayer. Although the hymns follow the pattern of the church year, they can also be used at random. |
|
A larger-print edition of 38 hymns selected from the three books above. |
|
For Children |
|
This book about prayer and daily life is written specifically for eight to twelve-year-olds, but sections can be read to much younger children and adults can learn much from its pages. |
This four-part project by Nancy and Robert Roth introduces children to 108 hymns from The Hymnal 1982 and includes simplified accompaniments, teaching guidelines, and imaginative suggestions about making each hymn come alive through movement, drama, and art. |
