This Love

Love's Oneing

Grounded in Christian love mysticism, Love's Oneing gives voice to the luminous consciousness that awakens from within our oneness in God in contemplation. With great sensitivity, the book offers nuanced insight into the marriage of kenosis and desire in contemplation, through the rich tapestry of writings from nine mystics: Julian of Norwich, the Cloud of Unknowing author, Meister Eckhart, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Clare of Assisi, John of the Cross, Teilhard de Chardin, Beatrice Bruteau and Ilia Delio. With the delicate eye of a spiritual director immersed in mystical literature, Kerrie Hide situates these mystical teachings within contemplative prayer, whilst offering a scholarly exploration of contemplative practice to embody the insights. Deeply grounded in traditional and contemporary mystical classics, Hide celebrates how the Christian mystical tradition lays a foundation for the evolutionary growth of communion consciousness and the insights of quantum science, highlighting key moments in contemplation that when surrendered into, open into divine love. Born of intellectual reflection, lived experience and contemplative wisdom, Love's Oneing makes a unique contribution to the existing literature on contemplation at a time when the recovery of the mystical dimension of life is crucial for the future of our planet in this climate crisis moment.

By Grace Thru Faith

Over the years, little by little two seemingly mysterious yet key words become increasingly important to spiritual wellness: faith and grace. The Bible states, The just shall live by faith. Christians need to understand what faith is and how it works. The Bible also states, My grace is sufficient for you. Since grace is enough in even very difficult times, we need to know what it is and how to step into it. The Faith Circle in this book is both a jump start for faith and a grabber of grace to accelerate and accomplish even what could be considered impossible.
