Conversing with God in Scripture: A Contemporary Approach to Lectio Divina                                                      Lectio divina is the most ancient and fruitful way of studying Scripture. This revered practice is rooted in the Jewish tradition of Jesus, and it has been nourished through the desert spirituality of the early centuries, the patristic writers of the ancient church, and the monastic tradition through the ages. In our day, lectio divina is experiencing a world-wide revival as Christians are returning to age-old wisdom to experience the Scriptures in a deeper and more complete way. This book will explain this ancient practice and show readers how to experience the ongoing power of the Spirit within the inspired text. Participants will learn how to move from attentive listening, to reflective prayer, to contemplative action.

St. Joseph, My Real Estate Agent: Why the Patron Saint of Home Life is the Patron Saint of Home-Selling
The work is a light and humorous look at the wildly popular custom of burying a statue of St. Joseph in the yard in order to sell a home and a serious look at how Joseph of Nazareth can be a mentor and guide for home life today. Whether the practice is pious tradition, popular spirituality, or a powerful source of heavenly aid, people throughout the world are attributing a successful transition to a new home to the influence of Joseph of Nazareth.

It presents details of real estate in Nazareth and the Jewish home life of Joseph as well as spiritual inspiration for home-building, home-making, and home life. The work concludes with model prayer services for selling a house and blessing a new home.
