Our book of daily devotions, "Living as the Beloved: One Day at a Time," by the Rev. Dr. Sandra L. Bochonok. "Living As The Beloved" has a Scripture reading, meditation, and prayer for every day of the year. Dr. Bochonok's meditations are poignant, wise, and amazingly pastoral. Her many years of ministry as a military chaplain and pastor, and now as an Internet pastor shine through her every word. Her meditations are simple, basic Christian teaching, yet glow with power, grace, and beauty. These are devotions that will light your days for many years to come.
$20.95 each, six or more copies for $15.75 each, plus shipping and handling.

"Christian with a Twist: Reflections on Scripture that are a bit more inclusive, a bit more relevant, and with a bit of a bite," by William Gaston. These reflections are a remarkable collection, borne out of the life experience and deep faith of a remarkable man. Bill Gaston has been writing these reflections weekly, based on the Sunday lectionary readings. They have been published in the Sunday bulletin newsletter at the Metropolitan Community Church of Washington, D.C. for over three years now. As such, they have edified, challenged, startled, enlightened, and sometimes annoyed the hundreds of people who come through the doors of that amazing church. Very often Bill's reflections have caused members, friends, and visitors to MCC DC to think more deeply, reflect more honestly, and stretch more boldly in their faith journey.
$19.95 each, six or more copies for $14.95 each, plus shipping and handling.

"Positively Gay" for an LBGT person just coming out, and even for someone who has been out for a while! This is an important book and the updated new edition, in the bright red cover, is an important addition to every LGBT library.
"I wish we had published that!" says Adam DeBaugh. "But I am proud to have been a part of Positively Gay since the publication of the first edition in 1979. This book has been a classic for 25 years, a must read for all LGBT people and their allies!"
"Positively Gay has been widely and consistently praised for its practical treatment of the variety of topics affecting the lives of gays and lesbians. In this revised, third edition, Dr. Betty Berzon has brought together an impressive list of contributors from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and approaches to spotlight significant but frequently overlooked issues that often take center stage in a gay or lesbian person's life." (From the book jacket.)
Only $14.95, plus shipping and handling (six or more for $11.25 each).

Shipping and Handling Tip: When you are ordering from the Chi Rho Press Web site, be sure to tell us your preferred shipping method. The way the shopping cart is set up, the shipping method defaults to United Parcel Service. This is NOT the most economical way to ship for orders under seven pounds. If you want the most inexpensive shipping (within the United States) it is usually best to pick USPS (United States Postal Service Domestic Parcel Post) for packages weighing under seven pounds. UPS (United Parcel Service) Ground is more economical for packages heavier than seven pounds. The shopping cart will tell you how much your order weighs in the box right next to your order amount and price. There is a link there to change your shipping method as well.
When I order one copy of the Liturgical Calendar and allow the default UPS Ground shipping method, the shipping cost is almost as much as the book, $10.11! But if I change the shipping method to USPS Parcel Post shipping is only $6.28, and it is $6.46 for USPS Priority Mail.
Also do not forget that shipping from Chi Rho Press is FREE for orders over $100. Sometimes all you need do is add another book or two to get free shipping, saving even more money.
Be smart shoppers and choose your shipping options carefully to avoid paying too much!
