For the first time, Blessed by God, Call to Love, and Above & Below are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and booksellers worldwide, an invitation for all who hunger for a deeper life with God.
There are books that inform, and then there are books that transform. Books that do not simply sit on a shelf but rest in the heart, returning to you in quiet moments, in morning prayer, in the hush between one breath and the next. The three books of David Beresford belong to that rare second kind.
David Beresford is a priest ordained in the Church of England who has spent his ministry listening: to Scripture, to tradition, to the still small voice, and to the people in his care. Since 2015, he has served as interim rector in churches across Pennsylvania and Delaware, bringing with him the spiritual richness of Anglican contemplative life. He is an Associate of CSWG, an Anglican monastic order, and contributes to Living Church Magazine and The Anglican Digest. He writes a weekly blog at http://davidberesfordwrites.com/. He is married to Ruth and makes his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Shaped by decades of priestly ministry on both sides of the Atlantic, Beresford writes as a pastor, a poet, and a pilgrim. His words carry the weight of a man who has walked closely with God and with people, in parishes across Pennsylvania and Delaware, in the pages of Living Church Magazine and The Anglican Digest, and in a weekly blog that has quietly nurtured souls around the world.
Now, for the very first time, all three of his books are available to purchase worldwide, now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and leading booksellers across the globe. Whether you are a lifelong believer, someone returning to faith after a long absence, or a soul simply asking Is God there? Does He speak? How do I listen? These books were written for you.
Three Books. One Journey. An Invitation to Draw Near.
Blessed by God
What does it mean to be blessed? Not in the shallow sense of good fortune, but in the profound, biblical sense, touched by God, known by God, held by God. In his most recent work, Beresford opens the Scriptures and the landscape of everyday life to reveal blessing woven into places we might never have thought to look: in loss and in beauty, in silence and in noise, in the ordinary and the sacred alike.
Call to Love
At the very heart of the Christian life lies a single, inexhaustible call: to love. But love, as Beresford reminds us, is not a feeling to be waited for, it is a direction to be turned toward, again and again, in prayer, in sacrifice, in the small acts of daily faithfulness. Call to Love is a warm, searching guide for all who want to respond to God’s invitation with the whole of their lives.
Above & Below
Heaven is not only above us, but it also presses in from every side, alive in the texture of creation, in poetry and in silence, in the face of a stranger and the turn of a season. Beresford’s debut collection of meditations is a masterwork of contemplative attention, teaching the reader to see the world with the eyes of faith, to find the eternal shining through the temporal, and God speaking in the places we had nearly forgotten to look.
“This beautiful book of meditations locates the eternal truths of faith in the context of living and life. Deeply thoughtful with rich connections to literature and poetry, these meditations bring the reader closer to God, closer to nature, and closer to a fuller awareness of ourselves and our faith. Read it and allow yourself to be touched by the animating Spirit that pulsates through the text. This is a book that can be read and re-read.” — The Very Reverend Ian S. Markham, Ph.D.
Dean, President & Professor of Theology and Ethics, Virginia Theological Seminary
A Word to the Reader
Perhaps you have found yourself asking, in the quiet of the night or the noise of the day: How does God speak to me? How does He call me? What are the signs of the Holy Spirit in my life? Why should I go to church? How do I begin to find faith?
These are not small questions. They are the questions that matter most. And David Beresford does not answer them with easy formulas or hollow reassurances. He answers them the way a wise friend would, with honesty, with depth, with the confidence of a man who has sat with God through joy and through sorrow and found Him faithful.
