DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Leading into the 400th anniversary of the voyage of the Mayflower, Martyn Whittock examines the lives of the “saints” (members of the Separatist puritan congregations) and “strangers” (economic migrants) on the original ship who collectively became known to history as “the Pilgrims.”The story of the Pilgrims has taken on a life of its own as one of our founding national myths—their escape from religious persecution, the dangerous transatlantic journey, that brutal first winter. Throughout the narrative, we meet characters already familiar to us through Thanksgiving folklore—Captain Jones, Myles Standish, and Tisquantum (Squanto)—as well as new ones.There is Mary Chilton, the first woman to set foot on shore, and asylum seeker William Bradford. We meet fur trapper John Howland and little Mary More, who was brought as an indentured servant. Then there is Stephen Hopkins, who had already survived one shipwreck and was the only Mayflower passenger with any prior Amer- ican experience. Decidedly un-puritanical, he kept a tavern and was frequently chastised for allowing drinking on Sundays.Epic and intimate, Mayflower Lives is a rich and rewarding book that promises to enthrall readers of early American history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"The point of the spiritual journey is freedom." So begins a guide that offers profound insight on the human experience and the search for spiritual peace. In a world filled with stress, Vessel of Peace offers an ancient but seldom-followed path toward a peaceful life of deep meaning in the spirit. In this guide, we discover how to empty ourselves of cultural myths that cause us anxiety and to fill ourselves with spiritual truths that enable us to live an authentic and fulfilling life. "Vessel of Peace, more than any other, is a book that asks life's largest questions and then answers them with all the wisdom of which we humans are capable." -M. Scott Peck, M.D., best-selling author of The Road Less Traveled "Simple without being simplistic, Vessel of Peace is a guide-book for pilgrims of the spirit which promises nothing but a probing clarity.... This gracious book is a celebration of life as a gift, reminding us that this is not a rehearsal and that the goal and gift of life is communion in freedom." -Alan Jones, Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The renowned author of eight books and abbess of the online retreat center Abbey of the Arts, Christine Valters Paintner takes readers on a new kind of pilgrimage: an inner journey to discover the heart of God. Eight stages of the pilgrim's way--from hearing the call to coming home--are accompanied by scripture stories of great biblical journeys and the author's unique and creative practices of prayer, writing, and photography. As she did in The Artist's Rule and Eyes of the Heart, Christine Valters Paintner once again helps readers travel to the frontiers of their souls to discover the hidden presence of God. In The Soul of a Pilgrim, Paintner identifies eight stages of the pilgrim's way and shows how to follow these steps to make an intentional, transformative journey to the reader's inner "wild edges." Each phase of the exploration requires a distinct practice such as packing lightly, being uncomfortable, or embracing the unknown. Paintner shows how to cultivate attentiveness to the divine through deep listening, patience, and opening oneself to the gifts that arise in the midst of discomfort. Each of the eight chapters offers reflections on the themes, a scripture story, an invitation to the practice of lectio divina, and a creative exploration through photography and writing.
