God Outside the Box:
Why Spiritual People Object to Christianity
by Richard
Harries
Is the Church a
box from which God has escaped? Are people finding spirituality and
relating to God in ways that have nothing to do with the Church? Men and
women today have strong values and beliefs about caring for animals and
the environment, about tolerance for others of different beliefs and
customs, and about how we may live mature and fulfilled lives. They
often feel that the Church’s moral teaching does not come up to their
standards. In God Outside the Box, Richard Harries (Bishop of Oxford)
takes seriously thought and criticisms concerning the Church today.
Christ in the Margins
by Edwina Gateley
and Robert Lentz
An award-winning
artist teams with a best-selling author to reveal the face of Christ
that shines in the most unlikely places. Those who “live in the world
but are not of it” have something important to tell us about
transcending the world. These men and women include the poor and the
broken, mystics and visionaries, artists, children and fools. They all
live in the margins and each one wears the face of Christ in a unique
way. Christ in the Margins features forty Robert Lentz icons and
biographies of Christ-figures who confound the status quo. Together with
Edwina Gateley’s stories of men and women who have led her to experience
the Christ who lives in all of us, it is both profoundly spiritual and
spiritually profound.
