To a church that increasingly addresses itself to biblically illiterate people, to people who may have little or no church experience, and to those who simply call themselves spiritual-but-not-religious, Don Collett’s look at the Christian year inspired by the work of the great Canadian scholar Northrop Frye offers a priceless gift. “Frye conceived of a world beyond the normal confines of Christian doctrine and theology,” writes Collett, “and then found a place for Christian doctrine and theology to provide the hope this world needs.” This movement, says Collett, allows us to “begin conversations that seem wholly secular” – conversation that happen in “language” most familiar to people today, both inside and outside the church – “and arrive at the vocabulary of the spiritual life.” While the seasons of the Christian year – Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost – may seem arcane to many, Collett uses this method of structuring the year as a way to draw forth insights into what he calls the Universal Spirit, spiritual truths which may be applied in the course of a person’s everyday life. Says Collett, “These pieces will appeal to the person who desires to make sense of spiritual concepts and topics, and to the way both intersect with the challenging events of our times.”

The book will reveal the need for Christians to have a consistent fellowship with Christ, be persistent in service to him when trials come, and be resistant to the temptation to give up or serve self. The book reveals how to resuscitate your spiritual life. CPR for the Believer: Life Changing Principles for a Quality Life is a helpful guide for young and old alike. The book is filled with engaging illustrations and clear points of application. This is also an effective tool to pass along to others who are seeking a closer walk with the Lord. Dr. John C. Bowling, President, Olivet Nazarene University CPR for the Believer, “Consistent, Persistent and Resistant,” is a great little book for reviving the spiritual energy for Christians who have allowed their faith walk to become lethargic. It is sure to become a favorite for many Christians. Dr. Carol M. Swain, Author, Speaker, Professor of Law & Political Science at Vanderbilt University (Ret.) and frequent guest on the Fox News Channel

What does it mean to live "in sync with the sacred?" For Tom Stella it means living an authentic life. It means stepping to the cadence of the sacred, which requires a specific type of courage: the courage to be different, to stand out, to be odd and perhaps even considered a threat by those who find their identity, comfort, and security in the status quo, the conventional. The good news is that we can do this while conducting our everyday lives. Unlike Thoreau, who felt he had to retreat to Walden Pond "to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach," we don't have to retreat to the woods. According to Stella, authenticity is first and foremost a matter of being attuned and responsive to the sacred within--to an instinct, an intuition, a sixth sense, a deep voiceless voice that can be "heard" even in a crowd. This inner guide may at times call us to live apart from others, but it surely summons us to follow a road less traveled; that is to turn away from the conventional wisdom of society, those ways of thinking, believing, and behaving that go unquestioned--busy is good, more is better, success equals wealth. Welcome to a refreshing version of spirituality.

This collection of stories from two practising GPs describes the reality of working within a failing and highly bureaucratic system, where there is a balancing act: regulation versus relationships; autonomy versus standard practice; algorithm versus individual attention. We aren’t suggesting a return to a ‘better’ time. We don’t object to being bureaucrats, embedded within and accountable to the systems we are in. But we do want to consider how and with what the gap left by the old-fashioned GP has been filled. We use stories based on our experience to describe the effect of different facets of bureaucracy on our ability to maintain a nuanced, individualised approach to each patient and encounter; and to question the prominence and effect of protocol. We are interested in the way professional relationships are influenced by protocol: between and within organisations; and most importantly with patients/clients/service users.. We are accustomed nowadays to automated telephone lines, chatbots, website FAQs- the frustration of being unable to connect with another human being who will listen to our particular question and give us something other than a generic answer. The same issues that are facing society at large have changed the way in which we work as GPs and the care we give.
