Book Description
"Often through ordinary things and ordinary events we glimpse the divine." Living the Sacred Story tells of a seemingly ordinary journey that yielded extraordinary spiritual growth and understanding. From her arrival in Istanbul to her extended sojourn in the Old City of Jerusalem, Bonnie Glassford recounts scenes from an ancient landscape in which people of today live and work. From the perspective of the Ecce Homo Convent in Jerusalem, she encounters Christians, Jews and Muslims living their lives against the rich backdrop of the Holy Land. Living the Sacred Story follows the footsteps of Biblical figures. It combines travel, spirituality, humor, pathos, new insights, personal growth and Biblical reflection. Within an exotic landscape that is the cradle of western civilization, through encounter with the lands described in classical literature and the Bible, and through meeting the people who now live in those lands, the reader becomes aware of a rich inner landscape that we carry around with us. Ultimately the story arrives at the awareness that in the most ordinary events, and the lives of the most ordinary folk, we see the divine. This book speaks to the deep yearning and spiritual hunger of our time.

Book Description
A major shame in contemporary Christianity is the large number of ordinary Christians who are biblically illiterate. This robs them of their inheritance as believers and makes their witness to others often weak. In response, "Landscapes of Christianity" unpacks the history and truths of our Faith logically and powerfully, answering virtually every question ordinary church-goers ask, or are too embarrassed to ask for fear of being labeled ignorant of Scripture. Already praised by leaders in churches across America, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into God's redemptive plan for people, discussing intelligently, clearly, and impartially the debated issues that have separated Christians for centuries. Furthermore, it addresses (from the Bible) some of the great issues of this day as they relate to homosexuality among the clergy, abortion and the death of other innocents, euthanasia, and the relevance of Scripture in contemporary society. John MacArthur, world renowned Bible teacher, says: "I am stunned at the excellence and comprehensiveness. I can only pray that the Lord will find many uses for it." Others call the book, "compelling," and required reading for anyone who wants to have a fuller grasp of Christianity without denominational bias."
