Read, Share and Shop from you2015-16 EBA CatalogDear Reader,

Welcome to the 2015-2016 Episcopal Booksellers Association Catalog. The EBA Board has taken on the task of putting together the catalog this year. We are excited to include spiritual books for reference and inspiration, devotionals and books for the different liturgical seasons, children’s books to share, fiction, and real-life stories.

Most EBA member stores use their profits to help support the ministries of the church they are based in and to provide much needed outreach. Their outreach is in their local community, their diocese, national ministries and international ministries. By supporting EBA member stores, you can help those around the corner and around the world.

Be informed and inspired, delighted and supported, encouraged and entertained by stories and prayers from

the unique perspectives of clergywomen.“In ministry, we constantly balance the sacred and the ordinary, juggling the two as expertly

as we manage a chalice and a [baby] bottle. Even as we do things as simple as light the

candles, set the table, break the bread and pour the wine, we invite people into a holy

moment…. The women [in this book] not only have a wellspring of deep wisdom,

but they also have the ability to dish out their knowledge with side-aching

humor…. I am thrilled that their great wisdom and intelligence will be bound

into the pages that I can turn to, lend and appreciate for years to come.”

SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Discover Henri Nouwen’s authentic, spacious spirituality of being deeply beloved.

“When we are at one with our self, it becomes effortless for us to welcome and embrace the same self where God resides, the self that God loves with the fi rst love, preceding all human love. With Nouwen, we are able to carry our own beautiful, deeply loved self in our heart.”

—from the Introduction

Henri Nouwen’s compelling spirituality of the heart is at once simple and complex, accessible but deeply profound. For this beloved Catholic theologian, whose ecumenical writings con-tinue to inspire Christians of all denomina-tions and levels of involvement, spirituality is, at its most basic, simply “attention to the life of the spirit in us.”

This insightful distillation of Nouwen’s vast literary legacy invites our tender hearts to take courage and be still, creat-ing space for God and our true selves. It is in this place of trust and solitude that we discover our belovedness and our capacity to love God and others.

A scholar and spiritual director intimately acquainted with Nouwen’s understanding of the spiritual life, Wil Hernandez, PhD, Obl. OSB, offers an elegant synthesis of Nouwen’s main themes, inspiring us to embrace the power and vulnerability of mere spirituality.
