Mystical Hope: Trusting in the Mercy of God
Cynthia Bourgeault
 "At a time when people are yearning for good news, Cynthia Bourgeault's new book invites us to find our way to the hope that does not disappoint or fail. In our usual way of looking at things, hope is tied to outcome: "I hope I get this job" or "I hope my mother gets well." The Bible introduces us to a different kind of hope that has its source not in events but in the mercy of God, a lifeblood of compassion connecting our heart to God’s heart and the heart of all creation. In five interwoven meditations, Mystical Hope shows how to recognize this hope in our own lives, where it comes from, how to deepen it through prayer, and how to carry it into the world as a source of strength and renewal."

Surrender: A guide for Prayer
Jacqueline Bergan & S. Marie Schwan
 Surrender: A Guide for Prayer, is the fourth book of a five-book series entitled Take and Receive. "Through contemplation we are led to the sustaining discovery of how, in daily life, our sufferings and our surrender are both a participation in his own suffering and surrender, and a means of oneness with him." The structure of each volume is similar: daily meditations, centered on the theme of the book, for each of the six weeks in the cycle. "Each day’s prayer begins with a scriptural passage and includes an insightful commentary and a suggested approach to the day’s reflection."
