The topic of male spirituality has grown in popularity in recent years, as men have sought to move beyond the macho stereotypes. Exploring their fuller human potential has led many men (as it has led women) to consider the biblical basis of their spiritual selves. This volume examines the biblical dimensions of spirituality by probing the spirituality of 31 men in the Bible, revealing each one's relationship with God, and by providing exercises to enrich men's - and women's - relationship with God. The book makes the rich heritage of the Bible available to both men and women today by focusing on the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, Joseph, Moses, Pharaoh, Aaron, Balaam, Joshua, Gideon, Samson, Samuel, Jonathan, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Tobit, Judas Maccabeus, Job, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Jonah, John the Baptist, Peter, Paul and Jesus Christ. Through the lived experience of these familiar, biblical characters, Father Boyer leads readers to reflect on: who these men were and their purpose as role models; how to adapt the knowledge and insight of these men to their lives today; and how to mimic the good in each one to benefit their own personal spirituality.

Worship & Devotion

Waiting in Joyful Hope helps readers wait in anticipation for the three comings of Jesus—in the past, the present, and in the future--and helps us to celebrate the new light we experience in our lives throughout the Christmas season.  The devout observance of Advent points us to the Lord’s first coming in history, enables us to reflect on his second coming in our lives today, and points us toward his third coming in glory. Throughout Advent we wait in joyful hope for the coming of the Lord. Likewise, the devout observance of Christmas fills us with new light. Throughout Christmas we discover that we are bearers of the new light of Jesus through the words and deeds of our lives.  In Waiting in Joyful Hope, each day’s six-part exercise is for busy people who want to reflect on the days of Advent and Christmas using a five-minute process. The title for each exercise is the focus for the day’s reflection, meditation, and prayer. The Scripture readings of the Mass for each day are noted and a few verses from the day’s gospel are given. A reflection follows the gospel selection and expands on an idea or an image found in the verse from the gospel. A question for personal meditation guides the reader in making a personal application of the reflection. A prayer summarizes the theme developed in the previous parts of the exercise.
