Roberta Bondi

  • Wild Things : Poems Of Grief And Love Loss And Gratitude

    $13.99

    How does a person tolerate the intolerable, bear the unbearable? For Roberta Bondi, a more specific question arose. “How will I continue my life when my mother is not in it?” As Bondi put pen to paper, she gave voice to her grief – and created a resource for others who grieve. She articulates her pain so others can know that they are not crazy in their emotions, that they can live beyond the grief and pain and find a measure of comfort. Bondi loses a physical presence but comes to find her mother’s presence in new ways in her life. Just as the “light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it” (John 1:5), Bondi shines a light on the dark face of grief, reminding us of God’s enduring love.

  • In Ordinary Time

    $24.99

    “Prayer is a hard topic for most of us modern folk, and we have little place to talk about it. My own first conversation partners were the great ancient teachers, the Abbas and Ammas of the Egyptian desert…These men and women have been urging me for nearly thirty years to pray and to seek healing for the wounds of my heart I carry from childhood, from my own temperament, from my culture, even the culture of my church. They have also urged me all along to write about what I have learned from them and from my own experience, for, as they tell us, nothing, neither the most wonderful nor the most humiliating thing we are given as Christians, is ever given for ourselves alone…The chapters that follow are in the form of letters to a friend. My intention, of course, is that you, the reader, understand yourself to be the friend to whom I am writing…” –excerpted from the author’s Preface

    “What a wonderful example of spiritual guidance through letters! Out of her own rich experience and struggle and scholarship Roberta Bondi speaks about prayer as one who knows. Those who have a lot of questions about experience of God in everyday life will not want to miss reading In Ordinary Time.” –E. Glenn Hinson, Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Richmond, Virginia

  • To Pray And To Love

    $24.00

    Drawing on the vast riches of early monastic writers, Roberta Bondi’s book on prayer is real, salty, loving and wise. She invites us to keep such company with early Christian sources as to illuminate a way of praying, living, and thinking about life in mutuality with God. Amid the welter of books on prayer and Christian sprituality, this one shines like Epiphany and will empower like Pentecost.

  • To Love As God Loves

    $22.00

    I first met the men and women I am writing aobut in this book twenty years ago. I was a graduate student at the time, and though I was struggling with Christianity, I had not yet found a form of it that could draw both my heart and my head to God. God’s for all of us, ours for each other, God’s world, and God, all of these things are Christian love.
