So many Christians pray the Lord's Prayer. It is almost ""second nature."" This book is meant to help these people pray it more deeply and lovingly. Ecumenical and even striving to be global in nature, this book explores what the Scriptures teach us about this prayer, how the Christian tradition has approached this prayer in its long history, and how many of our contemporary concerns challenge the way we can pray this prayer, and also how the prayer can provide insights for those same concerns. People of all persuasions, believers and nonbelievers, ""nones,"" and followers of the world's great religions will also find many of their concerns given serious consideration in this book. If you think nothing new can be said about the ""Our Father,"" this book may surprise you. ""Writing this book amazed the author on the ability of the Lord's Prayer to break new ground and move us in a more global and catholic direction. But the Father to whom we pray is the Father of heaven and earth, so why not? If you thought nothing new could be said about the Our Father, this book will surprise you."" --Richard Rohr, Founder, Center for Action and Contemplation ""This is a book about the soul of prayer. It may be the most important book that William Thompson-Uberuaga has written yet. As he guides us through the spirituality, history, and content of the Lord's Prayer, the author welcomes people of all religions and no religion to encounter the wonder of community inherent in Jesus' prayer. This is a book of deep spiritual wisdom that emerges from a lifetime of prayer and theological reflection."" --Elaine A. Heath, Dean, Duke University Divinity School ""No other words of Jesus are so widely remembered or so fervently recited as those few phrases known as the Lord's Prayer. Utterly simple and apparently artless in expression, they invite complex reflection and artful examination. William Thompson-Uberuaga provides both in his consideration of the Lord's Prayer that both informs and delights."" --Luke Timothy Johnson, Robert W. Woodruff Professor Emeritus, Candler School of Theology, Emory University ""Thompson-Uberuaga is a true theologian who tirelessly dedicates his life to the study and living of the faith. His years of searching through the most relevant writings and his living experience permeate his beautiful prose, making this book both academically compelling and accessible to the larger educated public."" --Radu Bordeianu, Associate Professor of Theology, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh ""It is good to find a book that reflects so thoroughly and well on one of the foundational texts of Christian life and worship. Thompson-Uberuaga brings together a wide variety of scholarly material that shines light on many different facets of this prayer and helps lift it out of the rut of over-familiarity into which it may have fallen for many Christians."" --Ellen Clark-King, Executive Pastor, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco William Thompson-Uberuaga, an emeritus professor of theology at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, has had a long and distinguished career. He has written seven books, edited and co-edited several others, written numerous articles and reviews, and served as president of the Catholic Theological Society of America. He is also a priest of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho.

Set in the South Carolina foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the late summer of 1970, Blood Kin tells the story of the Burden family and the community of outcasts that surrounds them. James Burden is the eldest son in the Burden family. A Korean War veteran and former prisoner-of-war, he struggles with inner demons and drug addiction. He has returned home after almost two decades of absence to find his family members consumed with struggles all their own. His former wife is haunted by her thoughts of an unborn child. His brothers, both Vietnam veterans, are troubled by their experiences there. Roy Burden returned a hero, while Enis Burden saw no combat at all. The younger brothers are also dealing with troubles with love and the hopes of starting their own families. James's father is himself disturbed by his memories of his own father's dark deeds and death. And James's mother is plagued by worry for her husband and sons. The Burdens face their struggles within a community of misfits, including a reluctant sheriff, a runaway thief, a forgotten fire-talker, a religious con man and his actress girlfriend, a local apple baron, and a failed prophet. All of them are living on the fringes of a rural South racing toward a middle-class modernity that has little use for any of them. Blood Kin was awarded the 2005 Peter Taylor Prize for the Novel, an award named for one of the South's most celebrated writers. The annual prize, co-sponsored by the Knoxville Writers' Guild and the University of Tennessee Press, endeavors to bring to light novels of high literary quality, thereby honoring Peter Taylor's own practice of assisting writers who care about the craft of fiction.

How do we cultivate happiness? When facing the monumental challenges of our world, it can feel natural to tune out the bad news and focus on our mental health. Yet Dr. Yuria Celidwen teaches that attending only to our own state of mind is precisely why so many of us struggle to be happy. “What’s been overlooked is the Indigenous perspective,” she says. “It is the understanding that individual happiness is not enough - we must expand our view to include our kinship with others, from our neighbours to the living Earth.” While recognising the gains made by Western positive psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience, Dr. Celidwen’s research shows the tremendous benefit of integrating Indigenous approaches into our approach to well-being. In Flourishing Kin, she identifies seven key principles found in Indigenous cultures worldwide that embrace virtue, ethical living, and spirituality. Each principle reveals how we can overcome isolation and despair, nourish healthy relationships with our communities and environment, and build strong foundations of well-being that elevate our life choices. Sustainable happiness goes beyond optimism or resilience. Dr. Celidwen invites us to experience a path to fulfillment that allows us to meet the world in all its complexity and imperfection with love, hope, and joyous participation in the flourishing of all living beings.

"Kathleen McClung is a master of the sonnet crown. In her skilled hands, that venerable form expands to encompass active shooter drills, smartphones, and Lyft drivers, as well as songbirds, the sea, and the moon. Even the structure of Temporary Kin-four sonnet crowns linked together by single villanelles-forms a circle, a daisy chain, a fifth and final crown. Like the speaker of one of her poems, McClung knows that there is an ancient magic to 'seasons, cycles, wheels that spin unseen / far longer than our brief mortality.'" Julie Kane, author of Jazz Funeral and Mothers of Ireland, co-editor of Nasty Women Poets: An Unapologetic Anthology of Subversive Verse.
Kitchen Kin: Recipes, Memories, Photos and Lineage of a Hoosier Family

Kitchen Kin started out to be a collection of family recipes to enable our family to know and save some of the favorite dishes of the extended Bachman family of North Indiana. We soon realized that some of those whose recipes were submitted would not be known by others in the family, so it was decided to add genealogical lineage lists from each of the families in our clan. Then it seemed it would be nice if we could see photos of what some of our ancestors looked like. So we have not only recipes, but photos and lineages of such family names in addition to Bachman as Lembrich, Gruenawald, Affolder, as well as the Caldwells, Frasiers, Bakers, Fuzzells, Bomars and even Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland. Some lists extend back for over 30 generations. This is a fun book not only for those who love tasty food, but who also have an appetite for knowing more about people.

Note: Avery Smith now goes by Avery Arden. This collection of 38 poems envisions a world turned on its head by the incoming reign of a queer God - a reign so close we inhale it with every breath, yet so distant it might well take a billion years more to fully immerse us. These poems wrestle with God, humanity, and the Bible from a queer and trans perspective, drawing from the author's Catholic and Presbyterian backgrounds to do so. Scripture and science, nature and personal experience mingle together in the text as bitterness melts into expectant joy and wounds yield unimaginable blessings.

In Sometime Kin, Sandra Wallman paints the portrait of an Alpine settlement – its history, economy and culture, and its unusual resistance to outsiders and modernization. Against this, her journal shows the villagers embracing her four small children and acting as participant observers in the two-way process of research. This project happened more than forty years ago and involved a uniquely large fieldwork family, but its insights have wider significance. The book argues that the intrusion of observation inevitably distorts the ordinary life observed, that the challenges of multi-vocality and “truth” are always with us, and that memory is the bedrock of every ethnographic enterprise.
