The Land of Walking Trees - Meditations for the Seriously Ill

Michael J Hansen SJ- John Garrett Publishing. - $29.95

The Land of Walking Trees is for people who live with chronic illness or suffering. It is a book for people who are familiar with the sometimes unwelcome feelings of darkness and anxiety, of hope and fear, of disappointment and anger.

Each of the 25 meditations begins with a scripture passage from Luke. The text is followed by a reflection and an imaginative response from God. The meditation concludes with prayer. The prayer method used in this book is based on the Ignatian method.

Themes for the meditations range from paralysis, grief and anger to despair, liberation and mystery. What emerges from Michael Hansen's own experience of illness is a powerfully moving book which brings to the surface all the anxieties and unspoken fears experienced by people who suffer deeply.

The Gospels for Prayer

Michael Hansen SJ -- Available for sale at Campion NOW! $50

Experience the profound presence of Jesus in the Gospels with this unique new resource, designed especially for prayer, rather than for study.

The Gospels for Prayer simply and clearly presents one passage per page, laying out each story, parable, or saying in a point by point style——just the way you would pray it. The removal of study aids, such as notes, marginal references, and other interruptions, frees The Gospels for Prayer of all distractions. The powerful text of the Gospels stands alone, an uncluttered foundation for personal reflection and prayer.

This volume uses the beautiful language of the New Revised Standard Version, and each Gospel begins with a stirring reproduction from the ancient Irish Book of Kells. The introduction describes ten classic ways to pray the gospels, and the index makes it easy to find your favorite passages.

An elegant and refreshing companion, The Gospels for Prayer allows readers to focus on the living words of the Gospels, and to return to them again and again. It is a book to pray with and to cherish. Its pages will become a touchstone for your soul and a window to God.
