No doubt you will have heard this saying:  the family that prays together stays together.  In an age when more than fifty percent of marriages end in divorce it would seem that anything which can help a family to stay together would be among the most popular things in the country!  Yet, all across the spectrum of religious belief the evidence is that less and less people young and old are attending church on anything like a regular basis, or taking time for prayer in any form whatsoever.  Many reasons are put forth to try to explain this -- what shall we call it -- loss of a sense of our creatureliness and need of a connection to something beyond...  Whatever the cause, this sad trend certainly exists.  As our culture grows more and more materialistic,  people become less and less interested in such things as spiritual life, the pusuit of holiness, true religious devotion, contemplation, meditation, a robust interior life of prayer.

From the first moment a human being is able to look around and wonder where s/he is, every single one of us experiences a need to “connect”.  We instinctively know at a very deep level that this isn’t all there is, and try though we might, we can neither for long nor very easily neglect that deep wisdom within.  In one form or another we are all on a restless search for Truth and Rest.  This search for what is "missing" leads us to wonder, and wonder leads us to prayer.  Whether one is Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant, the search and its goal are the same: holiness, either in this life or in the next.

There are many means of achieving growth in the spiritual life.  Devotions abound which help the soul to focus on God’s never ending search for His lost sheep, His insistent, gracious, unmeritable, call to us wanderers.  There are many spiritual practices, ways of meditation, contemplative methods, available for people of all ages from children to adults -- women, men, singles, married couples and families.   Whether one is called to active or contemplative prayer, quiet meditation or "out-loud "liturgical prayer as practiced in religious community (and as recommended to us, the laity, by the Second Vatican Council), prayer resources abound which foster growth and development of one’s spiritual life and the abiding awareness that we are not alone.  Reading the Bible, listening to meditative music cds, practicing daily devotions, spending quiet time in the company of like-minded seekers, are all valid means of coming to know, accept, and cooperate with, God’s plans for each of us.

The Christian Book Corner offers at everyday discounted prices a continually growing collection of devotional books, cds, DVDs and other media and publications which will assist and satisfy the serious student of spirituality, the committed seeker after “the face of God”, the beginner and the merely curious looking to learn more about their place in all of this, alike.  We are confident that your presence here is no accident, and that if you will browse our shelves with a listening heart God's Holy Spirit will bring you to a better understanding of the universal call to holiness that every human being experiences within.  .
