We've been building and making things ever since we stumbled out of Paradise. Some of those things are incredible continuations of God's creation, while others are nothing but ambitious catastrophes. We continue making, says Russell Rathbun, but we've lost ourselves in the process. So how do we find ourselves again--rebuild our connections to each other, the earth, maybe even God? In search of an answer, Rathbun drives cross-country to the Salton...

The way to Eternal Life is through the Cross, and to be effective, it requires our cooperation-the loving gift of self in response to God's love for us. God's desire to involve us in his merciful act of redemption. This book is intended to be an extended meditation on that mystery. It is not a devotional guide on the Stations of the Cross in the traditional sense-though it can certainly be used as such. Rather, each Station offers avenues of reflection...

Two hundred and fifty years ago, long before it was popular to write about the power of the present moment, a humble priest in the south of France wrote about how God uses the present moment to nourish, teach, guide, counsel, encourage, and challenge us. The result was this classic.
