Wilderness Spirituality

The Tabernacle in the Wilderness was published in 1891. Since then several generations of believers have been introduced to the rich pastures of Old Testament teaching. This new revised edition has been commissioned and produced in the belief that such teaching is timeless in its relevance and applicability. It is presented in a style, format, and language suited to modern-day listeners - especially for young believers in the 21st century.

In God in the Desert, Old Testament scholar and spiritual director Noel Forlini Burt explores Old Testament wilderness narratives in conversation with wise voices from throughout church history, bridging the gap between biblical studies and spiritual formation.

Into the Wilderness offers an invitation to reframe our wasteland seasons. It's a celebration of God's relentless pursuit of our hearts, even in our moments of deepest pain.

The Lord’s Prayer is a beautiful, subversive passage of words given to the church by Jesus. It forms our imaginations and—given time—transforms us. And today, we are in desperate need of renewed imaginations. Christians are living in a wilderness of secularism. In Liturgy in the Wilderness, Anglican priest D. J. Marotta shows how the Lord’s Prayer provides a framework in our secular age for understanding, believing, and living in light of Jesus Christ.

Our news media seems to have daily stories of individuals who have been abused by clergy, church leaders, and even church organizations. Countless numbers of formerly faithful people avoid church because they were abused, while others, who are not religious participants, avoid experiencing faith communities because of what they have been hearing in news stories. How do clergy, church leaders, and congregations help in the healing of these abused people and assist them to move beyond the pain of abuse toward healing and even forgiveness?

Do you struggle with prayer? Many of us do to one degree or another. Praying is a common weakness in the church today. We assume everyone knows how to pray, but nothing could be further from the truth. Most people feel uncomfortable and use excuses such as: “I don’t know how to pray,” “I’m too tired to pray,” “My prayers are too immature,” or “Prayer won’t help my situation.” Sadly, many of us walk away from prayer rather than drawing near to the Lord. We are unable to experience its full power because our insecurities, anxieties, and self-doubt hold us back.

This book dares to win, equipping people of faith to fight victoriously, especially for family, when life is not as it should be. We live between two gardens: Eden and the New Jerusalem. Between the gardens there is only desert; a biblical metaphor for life. Three main words in the Hebrew language describe the desert: midbar, t’siyah, and yashiymown—three kinds of deserts and metaphorically three kinds of life experience.

The Book of Numbers emphasizes the divine value of human life; and, therefore, requires responsibility and accountability.

Every one of us has spent some time in the wilderness - times of upheaval and pressure when we are forced to reckon with the way we have been living. God desires to turn these expeditions into moments of personal transformation.

Examined in the light of Christ’s work on the cross, the story calls us higher and deeper into the things of God.

This book will take you on a journey to discover how God, in His sovereignty and grace, uses these difficult times in our lives to develop in us perseverance resulting in the character qualities that He desires for us to possess in increasing measure. Much of our growth depends on the condition of our hearts; as we begin to believe what God says about us and embrace our identity in Christ, as we trust Him and seek Him above all else, and as we learn to release our burdens to Him, He begins to transform us into the men and women He created us to be.
