Cowley Publications, publisher of
the New
Church's Teaching Series, has
a series of books on prayer and spirituality called Cloister
Books. The title is drawn from the monastic custom of
walking slowly while reading or meditating in the monastery
cloister, a place of silence, centering, and calm. In the
pages of these books you will find a similar space in which
to pray and reflect on the presence of God.
These gift-edition books are designed
to be smaller in size: 5" x 7" and about one hundred pages,
with graceful covers in matte finish and convenient flaps
(as in hardcover books) that serve as bookmarks while
reading. They are books to be read over and over, and make
thoughtful gifts.
 Barbara Brown Taylor's When
God is Silent, is a
consideration of how we are to speak and preach about God in
a world where words are abundant, cheap, and often
meaningless.
