May 16 – The Horse Lover: A Cowboy’s Quest to Save the Wild Mustangs by H. Alan Day with Lynn Wiese Sneyd, 264 pages

“He already owned and managed two ranches and needed about a third as much as he needed a permanent migraine: that’s what Alan Day said every time his friend pestered him about an old ranch in South Dakota. But in short order, he proudly owned 35,000 pristine grassy acres. The opportunity then dropped into his lap to establish a sanctuary for unadoptable wild horses previously warehoused by the Bureau of Land Management. After Day successfully lobbied Congress, those acres became Mustang Meadows Ranch, the first government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary established in the United States.
The Horse Lover is Day’s personal history of the sanctuary’s vast enterprise, with its surprises and pleasures and its plentiful dangers, frustrations, and heartbreak. Day’s deep connection with the animals in his care is clear from the outset, as is his maverick philosophy of horse-whispering, with which he trained fifteen hundred wild horses. The Horse Lover weaves together Day’s recollections of his cowboying adventures astride some of his best horses, all of which taught him indispensable lessons about loyalty, perseverance, and hope. This heartfelt memoir reveals the Herculean task of balancing the requirements of the government with the needs of wild horses.”

Apr. 18 – Mary Jane Safford, MD: Indomitable Mite by Elizabeth Coachman, MD, 174 page

“This is the first comprehensive biography of 19th century physician, writer, feminist, progressive reformer and lecturer Dr. Mary Jane Safford who led an extraordinarily adventurous life. Her uncanny ability to appear in the right places and times to experience and make true history was akin to Forrest Gump’s similar but fictional talent. From the poverty of youth and through a series of adventures leading to her becoming a European-trained, gynecologic surgeon, Dr. Safford rose to a fame larger than life. She spoke and wrote prolifically on travel, progressive reforms, racial equality and medicine. Among her associates were notable 19th century figures. Later in life, she became one of Florida’s first trained women physicians and helped found a Florida community. Dr. Coachman’s 10-year research odyssey has led to rediscovery of Dr. Safford’s most intriguing life story.”

Mar. 16 – The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin, 322 pages

“Life is short. No-one knows that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni living on the terminal ward. But as she is about to learn, it’s not only what you make of life that matters, but who you share it with.

Dodging doctor’s orders, she joins an art class where she bumps into fellow patient Margot, a rebel-hearted eighty-three-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they realize that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years.

To celebrate their shared century, they decide to paint their life stories: of growing old and staying young, of giving joy, of receiving kindness, of losing love, of finding the person who is everything.

As their extraordinary friendship deepens, it becomes vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet.

Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT unwraps the extraordinary gift of life even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for friendship and love when we need them most.”

Feb. 15 – Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz, 496 pages.

“Alan Conway is a bestselling crime writer. His editor, Susan Ryeland, has worked with him for years, and she’s intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. Alan’s traditional formula pays homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers. It’s proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job.

When Susan receives Alan’s latest manuscript, in which Atticus Pünd investigates a murder at Pye Hall, an English manor house, she has no reason to think it will be any different from the others. There will be dead bodies, a cast of intriguing suspects, and plenty of red herrings and clues. But the more Susan reads, the more she realizes that there’s another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript—one of ambition, jealousy, and greed—and that soon it will lead to murder.

Masterful, clever, and ruthlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage crime fiction.”

Jan. 18 –The Poisoner’s Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York by Deborah Blum, 336 pages

Deborah Blum, writing with the high style and skill for suspense that is characteristic of the very best mystery fiction, shares the untold story of how poison rocked Jazz Age New York City. In The Poisoner’s Handbook Blum draws from highly original research to track the fascinating, perilous days when a pair of forensic scientists began their trailblazing chemical detective work, fighting to end an era when untraceable poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime.

Drama unfolds case by case as the heroes of The Poisoner’s Handbook—chief medical examiner Charles Norris and toxicologist Alexander Gettler—investigate a family mysteriously stricken bald, Barnum and Bailey’s Famous Blue Man, factory workers with crumbling bones, a diner serving poisoned pies, and many others. Each case presents a deadly new puzzle and Norris and Gettler work with a creativity that rivals that of the most imaginative murderer, creating revolutionary experiments to tease out even the wiliest compounds from human tissue. Yet in the tricky game of toxins, even science can’t always be trusted, as proven when one of Gettler’s experiments erroneously sets free a suburban housewife later nicknamed “America’s Lucretia Borgia” to continue her nefarious work.

From the vantage of Norris and Gettler’s laboratory in the infamous Bellevue Hospital it becomes clear that killers aren’t the only toxic threat to New Yorkers. Modern life has created a kind of poison playground, and danger lurks around every corner. Automobiles choke the city streets with carbon monoxide; potent compounds, such as morphine, can be found on store shelves in products ranging from pesticides to cosmetics. Prohibition incites a chemist’s war between bootleggers and government chemists while in Gotham’s crowded speakeasies each round of cocktails becomes a game of Russian roulette. Norris and Gettler triumph over seemingly unbeatable odds to become the pioneers of forensic chemistry and the gatekeepers of justice during a remarkably deadly time. A beguiling concoction that is equal parts true crime, twentieth-century history, and science thriller, The Poisoner’s Handbook is a page-turning account of a forgotten New York.

Dec. 21 –

a) Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb, 432 pages

“Ever wonder what your therapist is thinking? Now you can find out, as therapist and New York Times bestselling author Lori Gottlieb takes us behind the scenes of her practice ― where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she). When a personal crisis causes her world to come crashing down, Lori Gottlieb ― an experienced therapist with a thriving practice in Los Angeles ― is suddenly adrift. Enter Wendell, himself a veteran therapist with an unconventional style, whose sessions with Gottlieb will prove transformative for her.”

b) The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson, 128 pages

From the Author: “I began writing very early — poems, plays, stories — and just never quit. I attended local schools and then, being both book-struck and stage-struck, found a college — Allegheny College — where I could satisfy both passions.

I’ve been a short story writer, with some forty-fifty stories in McCall’s, Ladies’ Home Journal, Redbook, etc.; a playwright; an occasional poet, and finally and most happily, an author of children’s books…happily, because there’s no greater audience than boys and girls who read books and demand that those books be the most exciting, the most mysterious, the most touching, the funniest…the Best.

I live and write in a suburb of Philadelphia, and I have two daughters — Carolyn, who is a nurse, and Marjorie, who is a sixth-grade teacher and at home now with my grandchildren Tomas and Marcos, and all these people read books like crazy!”

Nov. 16 – Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story by Wilfred M. McClay, 504 page.

“We have a glut of text and trade books on American history. But what we don’t have is a compact, inexpensive, authoritative, and compulsively readable book that will offer to American readers a clear, informative, and inspiring narrative account of their own country. Such an account can shape and deepen their sense of the land they inhabit and, by making them understand that land’s roots, and share in its memories, will equip them for the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship in American society. It will provide them with an enduring sense of membership in one of the greatest enterprises in human history: the exciting, perilous, and consequential story of their own country.

The existing texts simply fail to tell that story with energy and conviction. They are more likely to reflect the skeptical or partial outlook of specialized professional academic historians, an outlook that leads to a fragmented and fractured view of modern American society and fails to convey to American readers the greater arc of their own history. Or they disproportionately reflect the outlook of radical critics of American society, whose one-sided accounts lack the balance of a larger perspective and have had an enormous, and largely negative, effect upon the teaching of American history in American high schools and colleges.”

Oct. 19 – Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl, 192 pages

“Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl’s theory – known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos (“meaning”) – holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.”

The Grace of Pentecost Part III

 The gift of the Spirit at Pentecost calls us and empowers us to integrate the active and contemplative dimensions of reality within us and around us. Living into this calling includes letting go of the obstacles within us to the awakening to a new seeing, not just what we see but how we see. We are learning to live ordinary life extraordinarily. August’s quiet day will explore living into the grace of Pentecost.

– The Grace of Pentecost Part II –

Our awakening to the Spirit within consciously connects us to the Presence of I AM. The One from Whom the cosmos emerges, is sustained by, and exists within moment by moment. Saint Paul tells us this is the energy that raised Jesus from the dead. The season of Pentecost focuses on our learning to live, move, and have our being in this energy, the Holy Spirit. July’s quiet day will offer reflections on how to live in the Spirit.

WHAT IS PALM SUNDAY?

Palm Sunday is a Sunday filled with emotional highs and lows. Jesus rides into Jerusalem as the people line the road with palm branches. They toss their cloaks before him to acknowledge him as their King. The Roman authorities fear and despise Jesus. They bring him to trial and crucify him.

On Palm Sunday: The Sunday of the Passion we tell both stories. We acknowledge the highs and the lows so that Holy Week and Easter can be an acknowledgment of our brokenness and the surprise of joy. All are welcome.

If you would like to participate in making Palm Crosses, please click here.

Epiphany and the Transformation of Consciousness

The season of The Epiphany begins with the story of the Magi and ends with the Transfiguration of Jesus. Both stories are meant to move us beyond our normal seeing. Saint Paul invites the same when he prays … that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be so strengthened that you come to know the love that surpasses knowing. On this quiet day, we will explore how the practices of silence, the Lord’s Prayer, and praying the scriptures can remove our inner obstacles and open us more and more to boundless Presence, and boundless love.

Seeing with the Eyes of the Heart IV

A mystery hidden from the foundation of the world was revealed to Saint Paul. He called it the mystery of the Gospel: In Christ, the All in all, all things are being re-created and united. Paul prayed the eyes of our hearts would be enlightened to experience this mystery, that our inner being would be made strong to know and experience boundless love. This was Saint Paul’s way of describing a transformation of consciousness, not just seeing something different but a different way of seeing. We will explore practices that prepare us to receive and live into and out from this mystery of love that transforms how we see and everything. 

Once a month on Saturday, our campus goes quiet, becoming a meditative sanctuary for peace. Set aside some time to refresh your soul. Please bring your Bible. All are welcome! You can participate either in person at Saint Barnabas or via Z_o_o_m.

November’s Quiet Day will focus on Seeing with the Eyes of the Heart – Part II

A mystery hidden from the foundation of the world was revealed to Saint Paul. He called it the mystery of the Gospel: In Christ, the All in all, all things are being re-created and united. Paul prayed the eyes of our hearts would be enlightened to experience this mystery, that our inner being would be made strong to know and experience boundless love. This was Saint Paul’s way of describing a transformation of consciousness, not just seeing something different but a different way of seeing. We will explore practices that prepare us to receive and live into and out from this mystery of love that transforms how we see and everything.

This Quiet Day will be presented both in-person at Saint Barnabas and via Z_o_o_m. Watch for details coming soon on how to join online forthcoming weekly emails.

of following Jesus.

7:15pm on Thursday evenings
beginning September 23, 2021

This new series will be all about practice, practice, practice.

We’ll learn how our rich Episcopal heritage, dating all the way back to the first century (Yes! The first century; see, you’ve already learned something!), gives us tried and true wisdom for following Jesus.

Our heritage provides us with wisdom for the practice of

• drawing close to Jesus in prayer
• joining Jesus in serving and healing a hurting world
• being an integral member of a community that makes a difference
• responding generously to a generous God
• sharing boundless, benevolent Presence with a hungry, thirsty world, and
• thinking and learning about God.

We’ll explore how our celebrated “Three Legged Stool” of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason gives us dynamic spaciousness for finding God and our own selves.

We’ll learn to use our Book of Common Prayer’s guidance for prayer in virtually every situation we encounter.

We’ll also provide a framework for you to go deeply into why you are an Episcopalian and what it is about this particular way of following Jesus that keeps holding your soul and bringing you back.

This series will also serve as adult preparation for Baptism and Confirmation or for being received into the Episcopal Church from another tradition.

Sandwich Week is here again! This is a time where we spend a week of mornings making sandwiches and assembling bag lunches for men who are currently residing at the East Valley Men’s Center in Mesa, Arizona. Some 75 men live there at a time and are transitioning out of homelessness.

We gather in the Saint Barnabas kitchen for only about an hour and put together lunches that one of us then delivers to the center. You can serve by making sandwiches, bagging up veggies, chips, or cookies, putting each bag together, and more. It’s a fast, easy way to make a huge difference in the lives of men who are working hard to get out of a difficult situation.

Beginning Sunday, August 1, we will again be making lunches for the East Valley Men’s Center. Stations will be set up (socially distanced) in Hutton Hall. Please bring your mask (if you forget, one will be provided). We need volunteers from Sunday, August 1 through Saturday, August 7. Please email Deacon Susie Parker if you would like to help out!

Here at MOPS & MOMSNEXT at Saint Barnabas, we gather moms. We believe in the simple yet revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together. That’s why we rally women, in their own neighborhoods, to help them become more brave, kind and honest, one gathering at a time.

The Beatitudes: Jesus’ Roadmap for the Blessed Life

Have you ever wished you had a map for life? What to do when, where to go next, how to get there? According to the Gospel of Matthew, the Beatitudes provide Jesus’ map for living the blessed life.

Join us for four comfortable days of rest at Redemptorist Renewal Center in Tucson where Rev. Jim Clark will lead our retreat in individual silence, rest, walking the labyrinth, journaling, and spiritual reading, as well as three periods of shared silence each day in a peaceful, breathtakingly beautiful desert landscape. Scholarships are available. To register, please contact Liza Bell at lizabell@cox.net or (602) 527-6161.
