| Discover the core of the Christian spiritual experience. Newman compared the early history of the Church to the opening chords of a symphony when the subjects that will later be brought out one by one are introduced all together in a concentrated burst of creativity. Here Clement takes these opening chords as a starting point for a voyage of discovery that brings us to the origins of Christian faith life and prayer as a whole. This anthology combines brilliantly chosen texts from the first seven centuries of Christianity with the author's vivid commentary to reveal the roots of Christian mysticism. |

| Newton. Simeon. Wilberforce. They were men of their times. Men who rose to the challenges before them. Men who endured trial after trial, year after year. Men who weathered lifelong opposition with joy in Christ. Our time is marked by emotional fragility. We shatter easily when misfortune comes our way. In the face of sustained contention, we have little ability to withstand the onslaught, let alone surmount it with joy. But these men were far from fragile, and can inspire a strength that defies resistance and refuses to yield to bitterness. Like Wilberforce, we, too, can capture a childlike, child-loving joy in Christ. We, too, can learn to long for the "valley of humiliation" as Simeon did, or to follow Newton's example and revel in utter amazement that the Lord God Almightly would "save a wretch like me." John Piper's "Roots of Endurance" gives us a picture of three men who persisted when it appeared they could not. So if for years you've prayed the same prayer and it seems unanswered, if it seems like one catastrophe after another claims what little faith you have, if bitterness has set in and will not budge, read about the lives of Newton and Simeon and Wilberforce, and learn not only to finish the race but finish it stronger than when you first began. |

| After releasing two critically acclaimed discs—Moving on Faith (2004) and Life on the Inside (2006)—and touring alongside nationally known acts like Rebecca St. James and BarlowGirl, Lavik’s latest effort represents a considerable change in direction musically and thematically as he dives head first into the world of hymns. Roots Run Deep features a cavalcade of familiar classics such as “Come Thou Fount,” “I Surrender All,” “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” “I Need Thee Every Hour,” “Take My Life” and “Amazing Grace,” all supported by Lavik’s sturdy yet seemingly effortless vocals. But just because the song titles may be recognizable, listeners shouldn’t expect the melodies to sound too familiar. “All the arrangements are unique, and some of them don’t sound much like the originals,” Lavik explains. “I composed and produced virtually the whole project, and I worked hard to present my interpretation of each hymn. Roots provides a true representation of who I am.” |
