Books

I’ve written two books and co-authored two others, and my words have appeared in a few more. Here are four recent books.

 

Easter Triumph, Easter Joy: Meditations for the Fifty Days of Eastertide. Forward Movement, 2022.

Book Cover Easter Triumph Easter JoyWe proclaim the joy of Christ’s Resurrection on Easter Day, as we experience God’s grace, mercy, and love. But what if we allowed ourselves more time to celebrate the fullness of the Resurrection and its meaning in our own lives?

This book offers meditations for each of the fifty days of the Easter season that draw us deeply into the mystery and wonder of the empty tomb. The reflections ask us to consider the critical question: how does the triumph of love and life over evil and death change our lives?

The Way of Love: A Practical Guide to Following Jesus. Forward Movement, 2020.

Way of Love book coverAs followers of Christ, we are called to live in ways that draw us ever closer to our Savior. To follow Jesus is to make extraordinary commitments: To love God with our whole being and to love others as Jesus has loved us. One path to the Way of Love is through seven key actions: Turn. Learn. Pray. Worship. Bless. Go. Rest. This practical guide explores these words in the context of our life of faith and offers encouragement to begin or deepen spiritual practices to strengthen our journey with Jesus.

Includes testimonies from lay people on each of the seven practices, along with reflection questions, journal prompts, and a guide for developing a personal rule of life. Foreword by Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
