books by Eremitical Press     books:       The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth Extracted Textually from the Gospels: The Jefferson Bible1 review Eremitical Press, 2009 What the Description Fails to Mention I was surprised to see what the product description fails to mention: this book wasn't simply published at the turn of the 20th century. Rather, if you look at an original first edition, at the bottom of the title page, it states as follows: Washington Government Printing Office 1904 This book wasn't simply published, it was published by the Congress of the United States of America, for ...             The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena, Seraphic Virgin and Doctor of Unity Catherine of Siena Eremitical Press, 2009 The Dialogue takes the form of a conversation between God and Saint Catherine of Siena covering four subjects. The treatise on divine providence explains the connection between love and suffering, emphasizing that God wants only our love and the service we give to our neighbors. The treatise on discretion introduces the metaphor of the Bridge from earth to heaven. The treatise on prayer gives instructions for the progress from vocal to mental ...             The Pursuit of God120 reviews A W Tozer Eremitical Press, 2009 A Must Read - a practical concordance for seeking God! So many of my favourite writers (Francis Chan, John Eldredge, Randy Alcorn, Dallas Willard) make reference to Tozer that I felt compelled to seek out his wisdom. According to the back of this edition, there are "over three million books by AW Tozer in print", and this one seems to be his defining piece of work. And wow - it's 90 pages (yep, that's all!) of power and Godly insight. This was ...             Abandonment to Divine Providence: Loving God in the Present Moment1 review Jean-Pierre de Caussade Eremitical Press, 2009 The Power of Now for Christians You've probably heard of that Eckhart Tolle book, the Power of Now. Amazingly, this French priest also taught people to live in the present moment -- and he was writing hundreds of years ago. What makes this explicitly Christian is that it's not JUST about living in the present moment. Most importantly, it's about loving God in the present moment. Doing this will make your whole life work better, ...             The Practice of the Presence of God171 reviews Brother Lawrence Eremitical Press, 2009 Light reading with a heavy message. This book is easy reading. The words are easy to understand, and the concepts behind the words that Bro. Lawrence is trying to convey are easy to understand, from a strictly cognitive point of view. But, to give these words life by putting them into action is not so easy. Like surgery, anyone can read textbooks on the subject, but putting it to effective use takes guidance, practice and time. ...             Humility: The Beauty of Holiness49 reviews Andrew Murray Eremitical Press, 2009 Powerful It's difficult to find teachings on Humility; perhaps because humility in the bibilical sence is so against the natural human state. This book is a must read but it will not ring well to the ears of a secular postmodernist.             Introduction to the Devout Life, 400th Anniversary Edition2 reviews Francis de Sales Eremitical Press, 2009 Introduction to the Devout Life I can't get enough of this book. I refer to it every week for something. The sections on Confession are excellent. An excellent review of all of the finer personal points of the sacraments and true devotion to Jesus. [...]             Freedom of the Will13 reviews Jonathan Edwards Eremitical Press, 2009 Most profound study from America's premier philosopher We are free to do what we desire - but our desires are enslaved to sin ensuring that our "will" is no longer truly free. So argues Jonathan Edwards, considered by many to be America's premier philosopher and theologian. Few have given this difficult topic the kind of attention and logical sophistication that Dr. Edwards did in this treatise. Whether we are students of Calvin, Luther, ...             The Glory of Christ5 reviews John Owen Eremitical Press, 2009 A Profound Treatment of a Vast Subject Though Owen is in no sense an easy read, here is a work with a profundity that makes any amount of struggle well worth the effort. One senses, in the author a deep personal spirituality and an intense devotion to his subject. Though the work is several hundred years old it anticipates much of the modern discussion and no important issue is skirted. Owen provides a deep and finely nuanced ...             The Religious Affections24 reviews Jonathan Edwards Eremitical Press, 2009 Probably the best formatted Kindle edition out there Of the 4 different samples of Religious Affections for the Kindle, and I found this to be the most readable. There are italics and underlining in the text, which makes it easier to read. It's not perfect (5-way controller can't skip ahead to a different section) but the Scriptural references are underlined (linked to CCEL site, but it's a barely functional site on the Kindle), and the footnotes ...             A Method for Prayer and Directions for Daily Communion with God1 review Matthew Henry Eremitical Press, 2009 Nice edition, but no scripture references. This is a nice edition of Henry's jewel, but disappointingly does not contain the scripture references of the prayers compiled.             The Ways of Mental Prayer with Introductory Letter by Pope Pius X1 review Vital Lehodey Eremitical Press, 2009 Ways of Mental Prayer by Lehodey While readable, I found that the psychological approaches described for different states of mental didn't always draw me into the book or the methodologies. His familiarity with the various saints is cogent and cohensive, and making it a worthwhile read.             A Plain Account of Christian Perfection with Biographical Introduction John Wesley Eremitical Press, 2009 John Wesley was born in 1703 in Lincolnshire, England. After being educated at Charterhouse and Oxford, he traveled to the American colonies to serve as minister in Savannah, Georgia. On his return to England he preached in churches, chapels, and in open fields, often preaching two or three times in a single day. His literary output included hundreds of sermons and tracts along with his journals. Reverend Wesley's preaching continues to be ...             Donald Gregory's History of the Western Highlands and Isles of Scotland from A.D. 1493 to A.D. 1625 with a ... Donald Gregory Eremitical Press, 2009 The sixteenth century was the great age of the Highland clans. This history begins in 1493, when the Lord of the Isles lost his authority as a virtually independent ruler of the Hebrides and West Coast of Scotland. The next century saw struggles for land between neighboring clans and struggles for power between clan leaders and the King. Finally, when King James VI of Scotland assumed the English throne in 1603, he was able to consolidate his ...             Scottish Metrical Psalter1 review Eremitical Press, 2007 A translation defined by beauty and affection... This translation of the Psalms is one of the most stunning ever done. The Scottish Psalter strikes directly at the heart and lays open it's true nature. The Eremetical Press edition of this book is readable and well-organized. There's plenty of room in the margins for notes and comments, and the individual verses are clearly marked (not always the case with metered translations of Biblical ...             The Ladder of Perfection: Scala Perfectionis Walter Hilton Eremitical Press, 2009 THE LADDER OF PERFECTION is a guide to the contemplative life in which the soul is reformed to the image and likeness of God. Book One provides an overview of contemplation and its prerequisites, a discussion of prayer and meditation, and a path for dealing with sins, both obvious and hidden, through self-awareness, humility, and the love of God. By these means one passes through the darkness known to another English mystic as "the cloud of ...             The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ Saint Alphonsus Liguori Eremitical Press, 2010 In The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ, Saint Alphonsus Liguori points out the practical wisdom contained in St. Paul's meditation on love in 1 Corinthians 13. We should love Jesus, he says, no matter what happens, and we should be kind and without envy in our everyday dealings. The reader will learn the benefits of desire, resolution, prayer, and frequent communion. Those who love Jesus are humble and forsake personal ambition. They ...             The Confession of St. Patrick Translated from the Original Latin with an Introduction and Notes Saint Patrick Eremitical Press, 2010 This translation of the Confession of St. Patrick is accompanied by a lengthy introduction by Thomas Olden, who argues that St. Patrick's Christianity was closer to that of the Reformed Church than to modern Catholicism. The introduction and translation are both meticulously documented as to sources. This edition also includes the prayer known as "St. Patrick's Armor" or "Breastplate" (the Lorica of St. Patrick). Thomas Olden (1823-1900) was the ...             Visits to the Blessed Sacrament and to Blessed Mary: Prayers and Meditations for Thirty-One Visits Saint Alphonsus Liguori Eremitical Press, 2010 Saint Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists, provides programs of prayers and meditations for thirty-one visits to the Blessed Sacrament.

At the end of each visit Alphonsus gives material for a visit to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The saint also includes two hymns. His book draws widely from the writings of the saints. ...             Absolute Surrender24 reviews Andrew Murray Eremitical Press, 2009 Absolute Surrender for sure Great reminders of why we are on borrowed time and how to get the most out of our life to earn the ultimate reward.              search for books abandonment, absolute, affections, anniversary, biographical, catherine, christian, communion, confession, directions, extracted, highlands, introduction, introductory, jefferson, meditations, metrical, nazareth, perfection, perfectionis, providence, religious, sacrament, scotland, scottish, seraphic, surrender, textually, thirty-one, translated books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
