"When I first came across Nouwen's phase 'downward mobility, ' it struck me as radical, counterintuitive, and profoundly true. His reminder of Jesus' message goes against nearly everything in modern life, but ignoring it has led to most of the urgent problems we now face: global warming, poverty, and a deep sense of alienation. Perhaps it is not too late to change, and Henri Nouwen has shown the way." Philip Yancy In this short work, Henri Nouwen offers a penetrating reflection on the challenge of the spiritual life, especially the call to imitate Christ's example of "downward mobility." Illustrated with drawings by Vincent van Gogh, The Selfless Way of Christ is an inspiring guide for ministers and everyone walking the path of discipleship.

Selflessness: The Forgotten Christian Virtue is the result of a life spent working and interacting with thousands of people over a forty-five-year career. My experiences blessed me with an understanding of the human tendency to be selfish as I witnessed the need for self-denial. This is not a theological book; rather, it demonstrates our need for the practical use of God's Word in our lives. Scripture is meant to be lived every day. We are most happy when we yield to our Savior by submitting to His will. My motivation is to show the incredible benefits of a practical application of God's Word. It is my sincere wish to benefit your life specifically. It is essential for Christians to live for Jesus. The selfless life will help you to bring people to Christ and understand it is God, not self, who is able to pilot our life. Finally, it is my goal to always apply God's Word in the way it was intended. This book has four objectives, to wit: - to demonstrate how detrimental the self-oriented way of life is to people, - to show the importance of selflessness in this life, - to emphasize the commandment and example of Christ to deny self, and - to disclose the remarkable benefits of a selfless way of life. My sincere hope is that you will eliminate selfishness from your life as you strive to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. -Joseph "Skip" Frazier

Inspired by the drawings of Sister Helen David, Henri Nouwen sees in these images the ongoing passion of Christ in our world today. Stark and moving, her drawings--of an abandoned child, of a political prisoner behind bars, a peasant burdened by a load of firewood, a mother grieving for he murdered son--still do not lead us to despair. Rather, as Nouwen notes, they "help us unite our own broken humanity with the humanity of the men, women, and children portrayed . . . . This union become possibly through the suffering and risen body of Jesus. In and through Jesus, our world can become one because in this divine love he embraces all of us, and desires that we all be one, as he and his father are one." The late Henri Nouwen (1932-1996), a Dutch-born priest, remains one of the most popular spiritual writers in the world. He spoke and taught around the globe, including at Yale and Harvard, and spent the latter part of his life as a member of the L'Arche Daybreak Community in Toronto, Canada. His many books include Adam: God's Beloved, With Burning Hearts: Meditations on the Eucharistic Life, and The Selfless Way of Christ. (Publisher).

"Christian Devotedness" by Anthony Norris Groves is a small booklet. Subtitled The Consideration of Our Savior's Precept, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth". It is a little Bible study, expounding Jesus' teaching concerning stewardship of material possessions. He exhorted all Christians to live economically, trusting God to supply their needs, and devoting their income to the cause of the Gospel. Groves put into personal practice the principles of Christian devotedness which he advocates in this booklet, and contended for the possibility and blessing of accepting the teachings of the Lord literally.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Becoming Self less Becoming one was the prayer that Jesus prayed in John 17. Then why are we are we all so fractured in our lives, our families, and our churches? The underlying reason is self. It was catapulted into the world at the Fall of Man and is alive and flourishing in this generation. Self, selfishness, and self-centeredness will stifle our lives and the fulfillment we all are seeking. Become free, become aware, and become Self less today. In the process of becoming Self less you have come face to face with the reality that we all are carriers of this character trait. We are allowing this sin to stifle our purpose and the joy of fulfilling His plan in our life and our culture. These topics lead you to the tools to eradicate this driving force from our lives, our families, and the life of the Body of Christ:• Training Your Brain to operate more like Him and less like our self-centered self• The Plan, living within the boundaries of 8 in 4:8• How to renovate your life, your family, and this culture Realization of self-centeredness in our individual lives as well as in the local church will help us intentionally become one as Jesus prayed. As we acknowledge the sin of pride that consumes us we can become the true and powerful Body of Christ. • Self less is a call to action; it begins with you and me • The Self less individual is a powerful individual• Self less men and women will develop into Self less churches• Self less churches will have the explosive growth that they are seeking Cultures change and nations change when we as individuals change. You will not be satisfied with your life as you knew it. You will recognize the lies and the defeat of your previous perspective of your life. You will never return to your self-centered self. YOU won't be there!

Kindness is not what we have been taught it is. It isn't a soft virtue, expressed only by sweet grandmothers or nice Boy Scouts. Kindness is neither timid nor frail. Instead, it is brave and daring, willing to be vulnerable with those with whom we disagree. It is the revolutionary way that Jesus himself called us to live. The way of selfless risks. The way of staggering hope. The way of authenticity. Dr. Barry Corey, president of Biola University, believes we tend to devalue the importance of kindness, opting instead for caustic expressions of certainty that push people away. We forget that the essence of what God requires of us is to "love kindness." In this book, filled with stories from his travels around the globe, Barry shows us the forgotten way of kindness. It is a life that calls us to put ourselves at risk. A life that calls us to hope. A life of a firm center and soft edges. It is the life Christ invites us to follow, no matter what the cost. This new paperback edition has an added chapter and a foreword from Steven Curtis Chapman.
