12 GIU 2025 · Join Robert Ellsberg , publisher of Orbis Books, in this One on One interview with author Kerra Becker English, as they discuss True Awakening.
Very few books on spirituality reveal the reality of awakening and address our deep fear of change. In True Awakening, spiritual director, and teacher Kerra Becker English does both while offering guidance and encouragement for the process—no matter how messy it might get.
Exploring classic themes –the hero(ine)’s journey, the dark night, and what it means to answer a call—she reveals the challenges we face as we respond to the terrifying breaking-open of awakening—an invitation that changes everything.
Kerra Becker English preaches and speaks about spiritual life in relatable ways, borrowing lines or insights from song lyrics and ancient texts, ballroom dance lessons or the process of getting a tattoo. She also is an ordained Presbyterian minister. You can find more about her at kerraenglish.com.

https://maryknoll.link/e26ccd
In her latest book with Orbis, Kathleen Deignan offers readers a unique encounter with the spirituality of Thomas Berry, a Passionist priest, ecological prophet, and self-described “geologian.” Berry recounted the “universe story,” describing our place in the earth community, and defined the “great work” before of us: to develop a consciousness capable of sustaining life on this planet. Following the format of previous breviaries, drawn from the work of Teilhard de Chardin and Thomas Merton, this Book of Hours is arranged under themes divided into Eight days. Each day includes prayers, hymns, and readings for the four parts of the day: Dawn, Day, Dusk, and Dark.

Get your copy today at https://maryknoll.link/ec8542
In a world saturated with trauma, where do we turn for healing and hope? Neither downplaying trauma’s devastation nor rushing toward easy redemption, Stephanie Edwards crafts a Christian ethic of “enfleshed counter-memory” as a framework for grappling with the complexities of personal and collective suffering. Enfleshed counter-memory disrupts cultural narratives that demand forgetting, instead calling us to resist oppressive powers by remembering rightly.

Get your copy today at https://maryknoll.link/d4c974
This book is conceived as a resource for Catholics—white Catholics, in particular—to begin the work of relearning what racism in the US context is all about. This includes addressing hard realities that white people have typically been able to avoid, due to the blissful ignorance afforded us by an unjust system of racism in the United States and the Church. Among the questions addressed: What is racism? What does it mean to be white? Why is racism a white problem? Why doesn’t anything seem to change? What does the Catholic Church teach about racism? And, where do go from here?
Daniel P. Horan is professor of philosophy, religious studies, and theology, and director of the Center for the Study of Spirituality at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame. He is an affiliated professor of spirituality at Oblate School of Theology, San Antonio, TX, and a columnist for the National Catholic Reporter.

23 GEN 2025 · Join us in this One on One interview with Robert Ellsberg and author, Melanie Jones Quarles, as they discuss "Up Against A Crooked Gospel: Black Women's Bodies and the Politics of Redemption".
Get your copy today at https://maryknoll.link/cid
Drawing upon her grandmother's personal struggles with physical "bendedness" and the narrative of the bent woman in Luke 13:10-17, Melanie Jones Quarles engages Black religious thought and cultural criticism to expose how the Black Church paradoxically nurtures Black women while also sustaining their oppression. Quarles mines the prophetic imaginations of influential womanist thinkers, crafting a liberating vision that resists serving as surrogate "saviors" in society and religion. With insights into politics, Christology, and biblical interpretation, this book boldly calls Black women to unbend their bodies and reclaim their moral agency in the face of crooked systems that attempt to constrain their freedom.
Melanie Jones Quarles is a womanist ethicist, millennial preacher, and intellectual activist. She is assistant professor of ethics, theology, and culture, and director of The Katie Geneva Cannon Center for Womanist Leadership, Union Presbyterian Seminary. A third-generation ordained Baptist preacher and sought-after lecturer, she is a leading millennial Black religious scholar.
