TT#26: Thirteen books on my Amazon wish list.

Thirteen Things about mom huebert Today's list: Thirteen Books in my Amazon wish list. I have many more than this, but many of them are sort of repeats, that is, lots of books about the same subjects. I'm very thorough, and don't want to miss anything good! 1. The Abbey Psalter. The Psalms translated in cadence for chanting or putting to music, like this: Happy indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked; Nor lingers in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of scorners, But whose delight is the law of the Lord and who ponders his law day and night. (Try reading it aloud, and you'll see what I mean.) 2.The Celtic Way of Prayer: The Recovery of the Religious Imagination. "Peregrinatio (Celtic word for a pilgrimage of sorts) is not undertaken at the suggestion of some monastic abbot or superior but because of an inner prompting in those who set out, a passionate conviction that they must undertake what was essentially an inner journey." 3. Prophetic Lifestyle and the Celtic Way. A book about one family's experiences with listening to the Holy Spirit. 4.Windows into the Soul: Art as Spiritual Expression. Ways to use art projects as a form of prayer and contemplation. Sounds like fun. 5. Prayers of the HeArt. An exploration of the role of creativity in the life of prayer. 6. The Divine HoursTM, pocket edition. A book for ordinary folks to pray the liturgy of the hours. 7. Celtic Daily Prayer: Prayer and Readings from the Northumbria Community. Just what it says. Actually, this one is on order and due to be here this weekend! 8. Journey Against One Current: The Spiritual Autobiography of a Chinese Christian. A woman's memories of standing up for Christ in Marxist China. 9. A Scandalous Freedom: The Radical Nature of the Gospel. From Publishers Weekly review: "I fear too often the church has become an organization of guilty people with a guilty preacher standing in the pulpit, telling guilty people that they should feel guiltier," {the author} writes. The oppressed and their oppressors miss the power of the authenticity, especially the freedom to fail, the joy of God's complete forgiveness and the boldness it brings. Sounds interesting! 10. Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World. About learning to feel God's love for us, and how to blend service and spiritual worship in our everyday world. 11. Keys to the Deeper Life Six essays about Christianity. 12. Keys to Great Writing. More keys, this time to writing better. 13. The Procrastinator's Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing It Now. Much needed. Plus, it's been on my list for probably a year, and I still haven't gotten around to ordering it....
