From the Angel of Love to the Angel of Quiet...fifty "angels" - or virtues, or attitudes - to inspire and help us for a week, a month, a year, a lifetime. Angels in the Bible are messengers of God, images of God's presence. They show us that there is "more" to our life, that it relates to something beyond ourselves. Here, each embodies an attitude that is a virtue, meaning, power and strength. Each is at once an inspiration corresponding to a deep desire and the spiritual travelling companion to give us the hope and confidence that can realize that desire. "Angels", says the author, "are here beside us, so that we are not here alone praying to God with our troubles. Angels tell us: God is near you; you are bathed in God's healing and loving presence." So, meet the Angel of Truthfulness, the Angel of Mercy, the Angel of Courage, the Angel of Gratitude, the Angel of Forgiveness, the Angel of Patience, the Angel of Freedom, and many others. They enable us to become fully what they are - and we in fact already are - manifestations of the grace of God. All are Angels of Grace.
Here is an entirely fresh and original book about Jesus, the Jesus of devotion, the Jesus within.
Here are fifty pictures (or images) of Jesus, each being a chapter of the book. We need to get away from cliches and see what Jesus really means for people today. After a brief account of Jesus and his times, the author introduces the book and how to read it. Some of the pictures of Jesus are surprising- Jesus the drop out, the vagabond, the one who refuses power,the family therapist and the exorcist.
Gruen has a rare gift of simple communication, of bringing Jesus alive to modern men and women.
This was a gift which Henri Nouwen also had and the publishers are expecting to command similar sales.
The style is simple and direct and psychologically in tune with our times.
