In the wake of the ten-year anniversary of 9/11, as tensions rise between Christians and Muslims, author and religious studies professor David Carlson seeks guidance in the modern-day deserts of monastic communities

It is not a devotional guide on the Stations of the Cross in the traditional sense-though it can certainly be used as such. Rather, each Station offers avenues of reflection...

La ley de la atracción sostiene que uno puede gozar de buena salud, riquezas o cualquier relación deseada si se entrena a la mente a producir pensamientos continuos que la atraigan a su vida. Aunque hay algo de cierto en el hecho de que tendemos a convertirnos en lo que pensamos (el apóstol Pablo nos enseñó eso), la representación que hace la filosofía de la nueva era de mostrar al "individuo como Dios" es una posición peligrosa de sostener.En...

"If there is anything that characterizes God's people in America today, it is the loss of the fear of God," states Henry Blackaby. When you do not fear God, he contends, you will not fear sin. The troubling result of this issue is that many Christians fail to recognize that they have sinned against God. The lack of holiness within the Church has reached epidemic levels. "True revival can only come," notes Blackaby, "when the people of God return to...

Contemplative disciplines, such as centering prayer and meditation, have been part of Christian life for centuries. They seem hard to practice now, not simply because our distracted and hyperstimulated age makes them difficult but also because they can appear irrelevant to the needs of a fractured and ugly historical moment. Yet these practices are more essential now than ever, claims Wendy Farley. These practices essentially awaken and attune us...
