People have long been captivated by sailboats. Like white gulls in flight, they move effortlessly through wind and water in a graceful dance that challenges the elements and speaks of a magnificent freedom. So it is also with people born of the Spirit. They have an uncanny ability to overcome adversity and move through life with a resiliency that inspires awe. In this brief volume, Dr. Les Galicinski takes the reader through his personal discovery of sailing as a metaphor for life lived in the Christ boat. Whether you are an avid sailor or know nothing at all about sailing, you will discover an invigorating new way of experiencing the Christian life.

Is your church a rowboat church or a sailboat church? Rowboat churches depend largely on human effort. In a time of often shrinking budgets and membership, rowboat churches frantically row harder against a current, often frustrated and disappointed at their efforts. Sailboat churches, on the other hand, take up the oars, hoist sales, and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them. Arguing that churches should be “sailboats,” author Joan S. Gray encourages readers to shift concern from the many daily, practical concerns of their local church to consider how new directions might be found by allowing the Holy Spirit to provide fresh ideas. The book includes four days of sailing prayers, quotes from Scripture, brief reflection questions, and an extensive bibliography that is arranged by theme. Perfect for groups to read together, this book will help leaders reframe their church’s mission and practice with the Holy Spirit as their guide.

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Homer’s Odyssey holds a timeless allure. It is an ancient story for every generation: the struggle of a man on a long and difficult voyage longing to return to love and family. Odysseus’s strivings to overcome both divine and earthly obstacles and to control his own impulsive nature hold valuable lessons for us as we confront the challenges of daily life. Sailing Home breathes fresh air into a classic we thought we knew, revealing its profound guidance for the modern seeker. Dividing the book into three parts—“Setting Forth,” “Disaster,” and “Return”—Fischer charts the course of Odysseus’s familiar wanderings. Readers come to see this ancient hero as a flawed human being who shares their own struggles and temptations, such as yielding to desire or fear or greed, and making peace with family. Featuring thoughtful meditations, illuminating anecdotes from Fischer’s and his students’ lives, and stories from many wisdom traditions including Buddhist, Judaic, and Christian, Sailing Home shows the way to greater purpose in our own lives. The book’s literary dimension expands its appeal beyond the Buddhist market to a wider spiritual audience and to anyone interested in the teachings of myth and story.

Sometimes God leads us in ways that are unclear or confusing. The path we're expected to travel is obscure, incomplete, contrary to logic, filled with delays and detours, or the total opposite of what we've prayed for. His presence is all we have. And our nothing-but-God times teach us that God is all we need. SAILING UNDER SEALED ORDERS is a guide for trusting God through uncertain times and following His leading when it makes no sense from an earthly perspective. In a time when everyday life is scary, we need a guide to sail through uncharted waters. Only with supernatural strength can we face the journey without fear or worry and live in a state of mind and spirit called peace. Peace is possible in the middle of war, disease, and tragedy because peace is not the absence of trouble. It's the absence of struggle.

In this book, Father Vincent Dwyer provides a very special guide that can help every Christian attain full spiritual and psychological wholeness. "The winds of God's grace are always blowing, but we must make an effort to lift our sails." That is the recurring philosophy that threads throughout this illuminating book.Taking insights from key psycological educators and blending them with the teachings of the great spiritual masters, Father Dwyer shows how this philosophy can help us test, train, and maintain our spiritual development. Then, using his own life experience as a case study of spiritual growth, he lights the way to renewing and enhancing our adult Christian faith.
