An introduction to the thoughts and writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, one of the few figures in the history of the Catholic Church to achieve renown as both a scientist and a theologian.
At the center of his philosophy was the belief that the human species is evolving spiritually, progressing from a simple faith to higher and higher forms of consciousness, including a consciousness of God, and culminating in the ultimate understanding of humankind's place and purpose in the universe.
The Church, which would not condone his philosophical writings, refused to allow their publication during his lifetime.
Translated Norman Denny

Agnes Mary Sanford (1897–1982) was a significant American Christian writer who demonstrated that miracles and healing still occur.
The founder of the Inner Healing Movement.
She published her first book, The Healing Light, more than a decade prior to the recognized emergence of the Charismatic Movement which she had a foundational impact on, and it is often considered a classic in this field and is considered by some to be the movement’s main source for a practical theology of healing prayer.
She also became a significant and foundational part of the Renewal Movement in the first half of the twentieth century.

An examination of Christian beliefs in the light of that essential unity which is now drawing together all ' the people of the way'. The Truth which 'sets men free' cannot be equated with a set of intellectual propositions, for it is that which in a given situation awakens man to reality, no more and no less. It is this understanding of the nature of spiritual reality which is basic to Peter Spink's new book 'The End of an Age'. Yet this way of hearing and seeing the truth is in no way at variance with the doctrines enshrined in the credal statements of the church, rather does it open them up to reveal their hidden treasure. 'He who has ears to hear let him hear' said Jesus to those who wanted to know the truth. The introduction to this book describes the author's own search for understanding. It began in a remote village of Northern India and led him many years later to the Island of Iona where he met a challenge which he could no longer avoid. New Age Christianity.

The Reverend Robert Stapleton (1866-1945) and Doctor Ida Stapleton (1871-1946) were American missionaries in Erzerum in the late Ottoman Empire and the years leading to the rise of modern Turkey.
With other in the missionary community they sought to help Ottoman Armenians, using the influence of New England Protestantism along with Western education and culture.
They witnessed the deportation of the city's Armenian population and the great battle for Erzurum between Turkish and Russian forces during World War I.
After the establishment of modern Turkey they returned to America to continue their charitable work among another disadvantaged group, the Appalachian poor in the Kentucky mountains during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Using the Stapletons private papers, as well as other primary and secondary sources, Rasch draws a picture of the missionaries everyday lives and struggles.

The Classic of Medieval Mysticism.
An exploration of the nature of reality, mysticism begins with the individual struggle toward a clear vision and culminates in a transformed consciousness.
This marvelous guide to the contemplative life originated with the reflection of an unknown fourteenth-century priest who believed that a "cloud of unknowing" separates people from God.
This cloud, he maintained, cannot be penetrated by intellect; only by love.
The Cloud of Unknowing offers an approach to contemplative life that finds holiness at a level deeper than physical experience and beyond language or image.
The author advise to place all thought and mental imagery behind a metaphorical "cloud of forgetting" while seeking to love the divine. through monologistic prayer, a single-word prayer, like a mantra, that assists in abandoning all extraneous thought.
Seekers can thus attain an inner silence, where they may "be still and know the sacred."
Written in everyday language and edited by a popular authority on mysticism, this can be understood and appreciated by any reader.
