In Becoming Fire, Jeanie has taken thirty-three of the Gospel encounters that Jesus had with individuals and has written seven "you are there" meditations for each one. In the meditations, the reader is invited to enter into the experience of the persons in the stories, using creative and active imagination to enter more deeply into the healing and teaching ministry of Jesus. Each day's meditation is a "seed for contemplation," intended to lead more deeply into the prayer of the heart.

The Spiritual Art of Creative Silence, now in its third edition, is a simple handbook to help beginners in the art of silence and meditation. It is about how to make the silence creative, and also about the creativity that comes from practicing the silence.

Ancient Psalms for Contemporary Pilgrims is the most recent publication of Jeanie's books. In it, she has used various psalms as seeds for contemplation, inviting the reader to explore through daily meditations on the various psalms the God-concept, the self-concept, afflictive emotions, gratitude, praise and trust. Provocative questions for each day's reading lead the reader into reflection and integration of the psalms into one's own inner life.

In ChristHeart, Jeanie has followed the same format as in Becoming Fire, but invites the reader/prayer to enter more deeply into the heart and mind of the human Jesus and imagine the feelings, thoughts, struggles and intentions of Jesus as he lived his earthly life. In identifying with the human Jesus, individuals are brought to a greater awareness of their own "Christheart" and "Christ consciousness."

This book is not about being strong. Rather, taking the struggles and triumphs of Job as its guide, this book is about that terrible time when all you can do is stumble onto the ash heap of suffering and simply sit.  ...read more
