Inviting God In
God is always there, always waiting for our invitation to come in. Yet sometimes we need help hearing the knock at the door, putting some time aside, or beginning the conversation. In this collection of scriptural reflections and prayers, Joyce Rupp offers us the encouragement we so often require to stop and pray. Her thoughtful, perceptive reflections on scripture guide us as we open our hearts and ponder the meaning of God's word in our lives. And her poetic personal prayers help us find words for the longings in our hearts.
Inviting God In is organized according to the seasons of the church year, from Advent and Christmas, to Lent and Easter, and on through the day of Ordinary Time and particular festivals. Each entry is just one page long, beginning with a verse from scripture followed by a reflection and a prayer. The book begins with an insightful reflection on prayer as "God's Gift to Us," reminding us of those basic truths about prayer that are sometimes easy to forget.

The Cup of Our Life
Anyone thirsting for a more intimate and disciplined life of prayer will find a rich wellspring in The Cup of Our Life.

This book will both revitalize and enrich your relationship with the Divine through individual usage as well as group usage in parish settings, religious communities and small Christian communities.

Walking With Those Who Hurt
Rupp points out to those in the caring ministries and to those who regularly walk with the hurting that the most important thing is to spend time in solitude "communing with the God who dwells at the very core of our being." She also addresses how we deal with change, loss, transitions, and emotions involved in the grieving process.

All of Life is a
Holy Festival
In an easy, anecdotal style, Rupp brings the accessibility of God to her listeners. She emphasizes that we need not wait for a "mountain top experience." We have only to look for God here and now in ordinary things and events; that creation bears the touch of God and to live with an awareness of the sacred in life. |

The Cosmic Dance
An Invitation to
Experience Our Oneness
"At this moment I lean back in memory and catch a hint of what I knew long ago when I was a small child living on a farm in Iowa. I discovered that I am a part of a vast and marvelous dance that goes on unceasingly at ever moment in every particle of the universe. What a marvel to know that each cell of my fody is part of yours, and yours of mine, and that all of us are one! Think of what that means! --Joyce Rupp
Beautiful full-color art by Mary Southard stirs our souls with feelings of awe, gratitude, and love. The Cosmic Dance is a melody that each of us is dimly aware of; after experiencing the truths of this book, we will hear it sing.

The Circle of Life
The Heart’s Journey Through the Seasons
Joyce Rupp and Macrina Wiederkehr
art by Mary Southard
We long for connections in the midst of disconnected lives--connections to ourselves, to others, to the world we live in. Most of all we yearn to connect with the sacred. In The Circle of Life Joyce Rupp and Macrina Wiederkehr invite us to listen carefully and closely to the wisdom of each season. Using reflections, poems, prayers, and meditations, they explore the relationship between the seasons of the earth and the seasons of our lives. The Circle of Life encourages readers to connect their experience of the unfolding seasons with inner spiritual growth and movement, and to know that the presence of God is within and around us all.
