In Waiting on the Beloved: The Eucharist as Self-Giving Love, celebrated author and teacher, Joyce Ann Zimmerman, cpps, animates readers to “contemplate God’s unfailing and abiding love” (from the preface). Through thought-provoking reflections, readers are drawn into quiet communion with the Beloved, where we become aware that our waiting “is a matter of waiting on ourselves to become ever more deeply aware, responsive, self-emptying, self-giving, seeking, yearning, and expecting” (preface). The first three chapters survey God’s unfathomable love for us, and the last three chapters shift to us and what we do with this gift of divine love. While words are inadequate to express God’s love for us and our love for God, the Eucharist is at the heart of Divine love and is the ultimate expression of God’s self-giving love. This book is for anyone seeking to seriously encounter the Beloved in prayer and reflection, and anyone who desires to come to a deeper union with Christ in the Eucharist.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Toni Morrison’s Beloved is a spellbinding and dazzlingly innovative portrait of a woman haunted by the past. Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad, yet she is still held captive by memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. Meanwhile Sethe’s house has long been troubled by the angry, destructive ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Sethe works at beating back the past, but it makes itself heard and felt incessantly in her memory and in the lives of those around her. When a mysterious teenage girl arrives, calling herself Beloved, Sethe’s terrible secret explodes into the present. Combining the visionary power of legend with the unassailable truth of history, Morrison’s unforgettable novel is one of the great and enduring works of American literature.

You noticed it too? The light steadily dimming all around you and the push against your faith becoming increasingly aggressive. You question how you are to follow Jesus in a world where you are constantly surrounded by temptation. You wonder how you are to live on fire for God in the face of countless obstacles ready to extinguish your fire. If there is anyone best equipped to address these concerns, it is the prophet Elijah. He steps into Israelite history at a time when God's people are struggling with immoral leadership, widespread idol worship, and the greatest spiritual gap between themselves and God. Despite the dark and seemingly impossible circumstances, Elijah remains passionately bold about fulfilling God's purpose and mission. In Daughters of Fire, Christian author and speaker Christina Patterson takes readers on a journey through the life of Elijah. She shows women how to confidently and faithfully follow Jesus Christ in the face of growing temptation and in a world of spiritual decline. Now is not the time to allow our fire for God to sizzle out. Now is the time to conquer our fears, stand firm in our faith, and bravely accept our calling as God's Daughters of Fire. Christina Patterson is an author and speaker with a passion to encourage women in the love of Jesus Christ and the truth of God's Word. She holds her masters in Theology from Liberty University and is the founder and CEO of Beloved Women, Inc., a non-profit providing resources and community for women to truly know who they are in Christ: His Beloved. She is married to her college sweetheart and is a stay-at-home mom to their two young children.

These Advent reflections by the abbess of a Poor Clare monastery and accomplished spiritual writer focus our attention on the coming of Jesus into our lives. There is a double movement to this coming: our active preparation to be ready for him, on one hand, and our patient waiting for the Lord to arrive in his own good time, on the other. There is an art to this simultaneous preparing and waiting, and who knows better than the late and beloved Mother Mary Francis how to encourage us in our attempts to master this art. The joyful yet challenging teaching that we have come to expect from Mother Mary Francis is on display in these Advent conferences written for her spiritual daughters at the Poor Clare Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Meditating on passages from Scripture about the coming of the Messiah into both our world and our hearts, Mother challenges us to persevere in overcoming our faults, while keeping our eyes on the Lord who has called us to himself, for it is he who, through the gifts of his grace, will complete in us the work of sanctification which he has begun. Although written for Advent, the wisdom of Mother Mary Francis collected by her sisters for this volume is profitable at any time, because a Christian life is one of constant growth into the very likeness of God.

We’re all waiting for something. It might be a spouse or a baby. It might be healing or a home. Regardless of what we're waiting for, it’s easy to feel discontent when things aren’t going as planned and our dreams are delayed—especially when questions of “Why?” and “How long?” remain unanswered. God uses seasons of waiting to teach us patience and make us more like himself. But sanctification is not the only purpose God has in mind. When we wait faithfully with unmet longings, we become a powerful picture of the bride of Christ waiting for the day when he returns and God’s kingdom reigns.

Realized! The fact that I could not get into Heaven on just being good and doing good works alone came into fruition when I totally surrendered my life to God. I was being a good girl, but not a Christian. It was May of 1985 when I committed my life to God (at least what I thought was a commitment). I was still smoking, drinking, and having sex. I was working, was engaged to be married, and was, what I thought, living my best life. However, sometime in August, I realized that I was not living a Godly kind of life. I was on the fence. I was trying to please family and God. Then there was Pastor Gloria Geneva Moses and Bishop Henry Samuel Moses that taught us by example how to live a Godly kind of life in this sinful world. They introduced us to the theater, wholesome movies, bowling, traveling, and different eateries. But Gospel music and Christian concerts were the most exciting event of our lives. Getting to see your favorite Gospel artist, whether music or the preached word, was always a life-changing event. Having them point the finger at you and declaring the will of God be done shapes you into the person God was calling you to be. Had I stayed on the fence, I truly believe that I would have been lost. I realized that I was happiest when giving God the glory. I thank Him for saving me and delivering me from myself. I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength in whom I will trust; my buckler and the horn of my salvation and my high tower. (Psalm 18:1-2) So, I begin to write little statements on how I view the scriptures just as God had revealed them to me. For example, Rahab, to me, was a hustling harlot. She was a wheeler and dealer, but she made it into the Kingdom. No one's perfect, but righteousness is in the sight of God.
