Book Description
This I offer you, a downpour of poems, aphorisms, expositions and tales that have coalesced into a rumbling sea, staunch in its celebration of the pursuit of meaning and purpose. Some drops for this cracked earth yours, so those dreams may sprout new, valiant and lush. This book is from me to you, a reminder that all is not lost. "And now all the terrors are changed; they are become steps in a stairway to heaven. And I am become a mad dog chasing a desert sun; a desert sun that will never set."

Book Description
Many people today, living amidst the complexities and chaos of the 21st century, find themselves on a journey searching for deeper truths in life. With an increasing reliance on technology and decreasing dependence on connection with each other, life can oftentimes feel lonely and isolated as if lived in a vast, unknown wilderness. With the desert of the Coachella Valley in Southern California as a backdrop, this book tells some of the stories of one man's life's journey as he seeks to find a way in the wilderness. The reader is invited into this fiercely beautiful desert to walk the wilderness trails of its barren terrain. In the shadows of the mountains, under a baking sun and brilliant moonlight skies, the author shares a mosaic of his reflections and personal stories, providing fresh new insights into some of the age-old questions about good and evil, sin and forgiveness, doubt and faith, hope and death. Throughout each of the stories told, the author, a spiritual pilgrim, himself, and life-long follower of the Christian path, weaves together the common threads of wisdom found in the many diverse faith traditions, that we might develop a shared language and serve as guides for each other. Regardless of whatever path you have chosen or are yet to choose, whether you are connected to a church or left a church, or were never part of any organized religion; this book is offered as a helpful guide for finding our way together in the wilderness.

Book Description
A heartfelt, daring, divinely hilarious debut novel about a priest who embarks on a fateful journey with a pistol in his pocket and an injured coyote in his backseat. "A beautiful and meditative exploration of shattered faith." —Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half Father Dan is homeless. Dismissed by his conservative diocese for eccentricity and insubordination, he’s made his exile into a kind of pilgrimage, transforming his Toyota Camry into a mobile monk’s cell. Then he sees a minivan sideswipe a coyote. Unable to suppress his Franciscan impulses, he takes the injured animal in. With his unexpected canine companion in the backseat, Dan makes his way west, encountering other offbeat travelers and stopping to take in the occasional roadside novelty (MARTIN'S HOLE TO HELL, WORLD-FAMOUS BOTTOMLESS PIT NEXT EXIT!). But the coyote is far from the only oddity fate has delivered into this churchless priest’s care: it has also given him a bone-handled pistol, a box of bullets, and a letter from an estranged friend. By the time Dan gets to where he’s going, he’ll be forced to reckon once and for all with the great mistakes of his past, and he will have to decide: is penance better paid with revenge, or with redemption?

Book Description
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.
