Breathe Restlessness Into Me

Ted Loder continues to inspire readers with his powerful prayers, sermons, and reflections. His books speak to the human experience, drawing out the beauty and struggle as we respond to the grace of God. Loder is perhaps best known for Guerrillas of Grace: Prayers for the Battle, which speaks to the battle Christians face against the principalities and powers, where our weapon is prayer. Wrestling the Light: Ache and Awe in the Human-Divine Struggle gives expression to the human struggle to meet God in our daily lives, where God calls and invites us to join him in his grace. While Loder may be recognized for his prayers, The Haunt of Grace: Responses to the Mystery of God's Presence is a book of his sermons from his time as a senior pastor for over forty years. Finally, Tracks in the Straw: Tales Spun from the Manger is Loder's presentation of the birth story of Jesus from different perspectives and voices, helping us to explore the deeper meaning of Christmas. The collection provides the reader with some of Ted Loder's most memorable works with a variety of meditations for reflection.

For nearly two decades, this classic collection of tough, beautiful, and earthy prayers has lightened hearts and dared spirits to soar.

This book offers an original contribution towards a new theory of intersubjectivity which places ethics of breath, hospitality and non-violence in the forefront. Emphasizing Indian philosophy and religion (Vedas and Upanishads) and related cross-cultural interpretations, it provides new intercultural interpretations of key Western concepts which traditionally were developed and followed in the vein of re-conceptualizations or revitalizations of Greek thought, as in Nietzsche and Heidegger, for example. The significance of the book lies in its establishment of a new platform for thinking philosophically about intersubjectivity, so as to nudge contemporary philosophy towards a more sensitive approach, which is needed in our times. Its originality lies in its innovative approach, which searches for the origin of ethical gestures (represented in respecting the breath/breathing) through the newly introduced concept of “mesocosm” as a space of a ritual, or a new ethical space of intersubjective encounters. The book also introduces the possibility of an original ethics based on breath. Intended for philosophers, feminists and others concerned with intercultural philosophy and comparative religion, the book will appeal to readers interested in contemporary ethical and political theories of peaceful conflict resolution and concepts of hospitality. A Breath of Hospitality will benefit all who seek a more sensitive approach in philosophy, including philosophy of religion, and often-neglected practical and educational layers of our everyday intersubjective relations.
