I am happy to share with you a new album that has been added to our Bandcamp website – Home for the Word. Joshua and I hope to continue to fill this page with beautiful music that speaks of the Word of God and the mysteries of our faith. We pray that it is a gift to you as a little word of God’s love! Album Description: It is within the Lord’s trustworthy and steadfast Read more…
I am happy to share that the first complete album in the series that I have been working on has been released. This album treats of the events of Holy Week leading up to the Holy Thursday, and in particular the beautiful, intimate moments of the last supper as well as the drama unfolding afterwards from Gethsemane to the betrayal of Christ, and his undying trust in the love of his Father. If you give Read more…
I am happy to share a significant unfolding in what God has entrusted to me, both to make available to you its fruits now and as they continue to blossom, and also to ask for your prayers and support. Simply put: our world desperately needs beauty! The deepest poverty is not a lack of material goods, but the lack of the greatest good of all: the beauty of the truth, of God made tangible and Read more…
Through the link below you can find a page containing meditations on Scripture, specifically the Gospel of Matthew, which I hope to update regularly as God gives. Feel free to check back frequently, every day or couple of days, hopefully, for the “playful, contemplative commentary” on the next verses! I hope to continue this practice, all in God’s way and according to his gift, and pray that my words may in some way help you Read more…
I am happy to share a new book, which has been recently published: Responding to the Thirst of God: 40 Days to the Heart of Love. Modeled as 6 weeks of reflection and prayer, this book explores the heart of Christian prayer, spirituality, and life as nuptial intimacy with Christ and incorporation into the life of the Trinity. Benefiting from the thought and experience of saints and mystics such as John of the Cross and Read more…

We have now gotten everything updated for At the Wellspring Publishing, and are happy to begin shipping out your orders personally and directly. I’ve been able to reduce the price of every book on the store, and the shipping is less too, so hopefully this makes it easier and more manageable to order what you want. I pray that this is a fruitful change for everyone. And again, if you want to order any books Read more…
As many of you have probably noticed, the current fulfillment service we have been using to print and ship books is quite slow and at times unreliable. So we’ve made the decision to switch over to fulfilling orders ourselves and shipping them to you directly. I suspect this will be a quite positive change for all involved, as well as adding a beautiful personal touch to every purchase. 1. Now your books should arrive in Read more…

As I noted previously, I have been working on an extended edition of the short primer on the heart of the Gospel. I recently finished it and made it available for purchase (or for reading online). It is over twice the length of the short primer text. I hope that you will find this book (even though imperfect) fruitful and life-changing. It has been in long gestation and speaks of the central mysteries of human Read more…
