Featured Works
An American Prayer Book
An American Prayer Book, the latest book by Episcopal priest Christopher L. Webber, includes prayers for our country, prayers for American festivals, and prayers from our history. Authors of the prayers include Woodrow Wilson, Billy Graham, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the first Muslim to offer a prayer in the United States Senate. The prayers reflect such aspects of American history as the abolition of slavery, the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy, the bombing of Hiroshima, child labor, immigration, and the Gulf Wars. Prayer has always been central to American life but this book may be the first systematic attempt to make these prayers available. . Ecumenical and inter-faith, this is an important resource for clergy and a useful book for all those who believe in the importance of asking God’s guidance in our national life.
Beyond Beowulf
Beowulf ends with Beowulf’s death and premonitions of disaster. For
over a thousand years the world has waited to learn what happened
next. Beyond Beowulf provides the answer. Beowulf’s people embark on
a sea voyage that leads to encounters with trolls and hostile tribes,
peaceful encounters with monastic communities on the English coast,
and a final battle.
A Year with American Saints
A broad and inclusive cross section of American pilgrims of faith from
all periods of American history and all major Christian faith
traditions; their accomplishments and spiritual journeys are examples
of perseverance, courage, and holiness. (From the Preface)
Re-Inventing Marriage
Marriage has evolved over the centuries; it was not always as in Victoria’s day and is evolving still. This book asks whether we can shape our biological urges toward the highest ideals of the human race. The anger that fuels today’s debate so often is grounded in ignorance. This book provides the overview needed to enable us to raise our sights and take some first steps toward a better future for all.
