Craft as a Spiritual Practice
THE KNITTING SUTRA:
susan gordon lydon
"I believe that, in the quiet, repetitive, hypnotic rhythms of creating craft, the inner being may emerge in all its quiet beauty. The very rhythms of the knitting needles can become as incantatory as a drumbeat or a Gregorian Chant." -from The Knitting Sutra. "Gracefully links handcraft and spiritual practice in our everyday lives." -Vogue Knitting International.

CARETAKERS OF OUR
COMMON HOUSE:
Women's Development in Communities of Faith
carol lakey hess
Carol Lakey Hess argues compellingly for theological education that nurtures women as caretakers of themselves and of our communities of faith. "This highly readable study asks whether the Church can make a difference in the development of young women in a culture that destroys [their] self-esteem.... A truly engaging book." -Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Harvard Divinity School.

STUMBLING TOWARD
ENLIGHTENMENT
geri larkin
Geri Larkin's Stumbling Toward Enlightenment is the story of one woman's leap off the corporate fast track into a search for emotional tranquility and spiritual contentment. Honest, earthy, scrappy and often wildly funny, this is a truly accessible book for those intrigued - yet perhaps intimidated by - the practice of Zen. This is dharma from the heartland.
