Jeanie Miley's books are available online directly from Smyth & Helwys Publishers... 

book_becomingfireIn 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.

book_silenceThe 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.

book_christheartIn 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."

book_sittingSitting Strong suggests that when life knocks the props out from under you, it is possible to gather up your agony and wrestle with it in the presence of the God who may feel strangely absent. This book is not about being strong; rather, it is about that terrible time when all you can do is stumble onto the ash heap of suffering and simply sit.

book_forcesJoining Forces is Jeanie's most recent publication. In it, she explains that our deeply ingrained gender expectations have created an imbalance in our emotional and spiritual lives and have kept us from becoming our most authentic selves. Joining Forces will help readers discover the masculine and feminine characteristics that connect, unite, and restore us.

book_ancientpsalmsAncient Psalms for Contemporary Pilgrims uses various psalms as seeds for contemplation, inviting readers to explore a host of topics through daily meditations. Topics include 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.
