Dorothy Day : Spiritual Writings – Selected With An Introduction By Robert
$24.00
“It is no use to say that we are born two thousand years too late to give room to Christ. Nor will those who live at the end of the world have been born too late. Christ is always with us, always asking for room in our hearts.”
Dorothy Day (1897-1980), co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, has recently been proposed for canonization. Through her houses of hospitality, the practice of the works of mercy, and her prophetic work for peace and justice, she offered a radical witness to the gospel in action. But it was as much in her everyday life as in her public activities that she expressed her spirituality and found her path to holiness. This anthology explores the key themes that underlay Day’s spirituality. These begin with the call to see Christ in our neighbors, and the teaching that what we do for the poor, we do directly for him. Day’s spirituality was deeply influenced by St. Therese of Lisieux and her “Little Way” that showed the path to holiness in the daily exercise of patience, charity, and forgiveness. Dorothy extended this principle to the social dimension–the significance of all the little protests we make or fail to make. She frequently cited the “practice of the presence of God” and the “duty of delight”–the challenge to put love where there is none. She herself summed up her mission as a response to “the greatest challenge of the day” “How to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?”

Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.
