Blessed Among Us
$29.95Add to cartSince the early centuries, Christians have held up the saints as models of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While the Church officially recognizes a relatively small number of saints, the actual roster is infinitely wider. Blessed Among Us explores this eclectic Cloud of Witnesses–lay and religious, single and married, canonized and not, and even non-Christians whose faith and wisdom may illuminate our path. Brought to life in the evocative storytelling of Robert Ellsberg, they inspire the moral imagination and give witness to the myriad ways of holiness.
In two stories per day for a full calendar, year, Ellsberg sketches figures from biblical times to the present age and from all corners of this world–ordinary figures whose extraordinary lives point to the new age in the world to come.
Blessed Among Us is drawn from Ellsberg’s acclaimed column of the same name in Give Us This day, a monthly resource for daily prayer published by Liturgical Press.

$14.99Add to cartWholesale$7.50 / Min. order is 6
BRING GOD’S WORD TO LIFE THROUGH ART!
As we became aware of this new trend, it seemed like a natural step for G.T. Luscombe to find a way to support this community.
We began looking around for people who were actively involved in Bible Journaling who could help us bring you the best that the industry has to offer in journaling supplies. We found Jann Gray and learned that she has been teaching workshops in Bible Journaling almost since the beginning of the movement. She says that it was her love of photography and the way that a picture can transport her back to the moment that the picture wastaken that led to her love of journaling in her Bible using words and images. She calls this style of journaling, Illuminated Journaling, because like the flash of a camera, it captures the moment when you have met with God on the pages of His Word and allows you to return to that meeting again and again – refreshing your memory and reinforcing the Truths that you learned.The number one question people ask once they get their Journaling Bible is WHAT PRODUCTS DO I USE THAT WILL WORK WELL IN MY BIBLE?
Let Jann Gray, a well known teacher and author in the Bible Journaling community, introduce you to the very best products available for Bible Journaling. We worked together with Jann and a variety of manufacturers to take the guess work out of stocking the tools and supplies Bible Journalers want to use.

Knitting Into The Mystery
$24.95Add to cartKnitters-there are 38 million of them in the United States alone-are part of a long and quiet tradition that’s both plainly practical and deeply spiritual.

This tradition is flowering today through knitting ministries, a worldwide ecumenical movement of small groups of women who gather to pray and knit for those in need. As they create shawls for people burdened with illness and sorrow, their handiwork becomes an expression, not only of their love and concern, but also of the loving care of the God who works through them.
In this beautifully illustrated book, the authors-a United Church of Christ minister and a Roman Catholic laywoman-share stories of how the knitting ministry has touched lives and hearts around the world. They offer directions for knitting the shawls and for starting a parish or community knitting ministry. The book also provides a selection of prayers, written from many faith traditions, to offer along with each completed shawl.
