Eleanor of Aquitaine's story sometimes seems so extreme it ought to be made up. The headlines: orphaned as a child, Duchess in her own right, Queen of France, crusader, survivor of a terrible battle, kidnapped by her own husband, kidnapped by pirates, divorced for barrenness, Countess of Anjou, Queen of England, mother of at least five sons and five daughters, rebel against her own husband, prisoner for 15 years, ruler of England in her own right, traveler across the Pyrenees and Alps in winter in her seventies, and mentor to the most remarkable Queen medieval France was to know (her own granddaughter, obviously). Eleanor of Aquitaine’s life has also been subjected to successive reinventions over the years, with the facts often losing the battle with speculation and wishful thinking. In this biography Sara Cockerill has gone back to the primary sources, and the wealth of recent first rate scholarship, and assessed which of the claims about Eleanor can be sustained on the evidence. The result is a complete re-evaluation of this remarkable woman’s even more remarkable life. A number of often repeated myths are debunked and a fresh version of Eleanor emerges. In addition Sara Cockerill has added her own research, breaking new ground on Eleanor’s relationship with the Church, her supposed antipathy to Thomas Becket and her relationships with all of her children, including her family by her first marriage.

A Table of Delight invites us to explore the wilderness places in our lives, both the unintended times of barrenness and the chosen ""desert times,"" as opportunities for holy encounter. We can learn to recognize grace-filled moments when God does provide sustenance in the wilderness of our lives. Elizabeth Canham's personal sharing and questions for readers encourage reflection, journal writing, and creativity as pathways to deepening prayer. In A Table of Delight: Feasting with God in the Wilderness, Canham explores the way desert experiences give substance to our spiritual journey rather than offering the instant satisfaction of a momentary spiritual high. Canham's narrative style offers the details found in good story-telling with a thoughtful, gentle friend as the narrator. As she tells these stories from the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures and two significant movements derived from them - Desert Mothers and Fathers and Celtic Christians - she offers a practical vision of relinquishment that carries hope for those feeling consumed by a culture that endorses busyness and surrounds us with stuff. These stories encourage contemporary Christians to recognize the grace of their own desert experiences, both the unbidden times of dryness and the chosen times of solitude for prayer. This book includes useful tools for individual or group study. Canham ends the chapters with journal entries that further personalize the coaching and offer examples of the journal practices she suggests. She then offers suggestions for Scripture reflection and journal writing. The book includes a helpful guide for adapting the study to group use, as well.

Translated by notable American poet Marilyn Hacker, Lebanese-French poet and novelist Venus Khoury-Ghata explores the formal and mythic attractions, congruencies and incompatibilities of the French and Arabic imaginations and poetic traditions in poems that open like a suitcase filled with alphabets. Sex, barrenness, exile, grief, and death - the backdrop of a war-ravaged country - are always at the edges, made increasingly urgent in lines varying from sinuous length to jagged and spare, their music unfettered, their metaphors lively, multilayered and unpredictable. But humour, the demotic voice, the storyteller's enchantments and an anecdotal sense of quotidian life are also omnipresent. Khoury-Ghata's is a vital voice in French and Francophone literature.

We need companions on our spiritual journey. The modern world has taught us to value autonomy and individualism. Our churches often see spirituality as personal and private. But we cannot go long in our Christian pilgrimage before realizing that isolation leads to spiritual barrenness. We soon discover that our souls long for accompaniment, intimacy and spiritual friendship. As a result, many Christians today are rediscovering the ancient practice of spiritual direction. In this inviting guide, David Benner introduces readers to the riches of spiritual friendship and direction, explaining what they are and how they are practiced. Spiritual direction moves beyond mere moral lifestyle accountability and goes deeper than popular notions of mentoring or discipling. Through prayerful, guided attunement to God's activity, sacred companions provide care for the soul. If we are to experience significant spiritual formation and growth, our souls must be nurtured through spiritual companions. Benner, well-accustomed to God's work through relationships, models the kind of traveling companion who can move us toward deeper intimacy with God. "Only real depth will serve us now. The marketplace of possibilities has sent the Western mind and heart into a tailspin. David Benner's excellent teaching is a way out of the tailspin and into the depth. This is mature religion and will feed us all well." Rev. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico "Many Christians in our day are discovering (or rediscovering) ancient wisdom about the Way of Christ that brings life. David Benner is a welcome guide on this journey, both because of his clarity and because he, too, is a pilgrim." John Ortberg, teaching pastor, Willow Creek Community Church, and author of The Life You've Always Wanted
