This collection of hugely popular and critically acclaimed photos celebrates New York City's unique history and culture--from long-disappeared icons to still-thriving favorite haunts.

For decades, husband-and-wife photography duo James and Karla Murray have been on a mission to document and preserve on film the various small shops of New York City--many of which are quickly disappearing--and a culture of authenticity that is hanging by just a thread. Featuring glorious new reproductions of images from their past books as well as never-before published photos, this elegiac volume will delight the Murrays' multitude of fans, as well as anyone interested in the charm and history of small urban retail.

Large in format and filled with color and affectionate detail, the book includes an introduction by the Murrays explaining the genesis of their lifelong project and why they love to photograph store fronts. Chapters are organized by each of the city's five boroughs and include descriptions and maps. Most of the store fronts are featured in generous single-page images with captions listing location, neighborhood, and year the photo was taken.

Filled with diversity and character, these images honor destinations lost to rising rents and changing demographics. Together they comprise both a guidebook and a love letter to a city that never sleeps, and is always evolving.

Jesus' instruction to us as his followers was to go and make disciples, but how?

What exactly is a disciple?

How do I become one or help others become one?

This book aims at giving you a practical guide to becoming a disciple or student of Jesus, and will equip you to help others do the same.

It all starts with an invitation to follow.

In 1999 Phyllis Cole-Dai and James Murray lived by choice on the streets of Columbus, Ohio, the fifteenth-largest city in the United States. They went to the streets with a single intention: to be as present as possible to everyone they met, offering them sustained and nonjudgmental attention. Such attention is the heart of compassion.

This book chronicles their streets experiences. It will thrust you out the door of your comfortable life, straight into the unknown. It will force you to confront what might happen to you, and who you might become, if suddenly you had no home. The meditative narrative is accompanied by pinhole photographs shot by James using cameras he constructed from trash.

This is the third edition of the book, lightly edited. Though recounting events that occurred in 1999, it remains as relevant today as ever.

An eye-opening and life-changing read Read this book on its own or in the company of Practicing Presence: Insights from the Streets, which Phyllis wrote on the tenth anniversary of her time on the streets. Take your reading slow, perhaps one chapter per day, so you can absorb and reflect.

If you happen to be Christian, you might consider using this book and Practicing Presence as companion resources during Lent and Holy Week, which served as a backdrop for Phyllis and James's experience. But you don't need to be a Christian to take this stumbling journey into practicing mindfulness on the streets. Just allow these forty-seven days to be for you what they were for Phyllis and James: a deep embrace of core values that human beings around the world have held in common for millennia. These values might best be articulated as questions:

How do we treat others as we would have them treat us?How do we love our neighbors, including those who seem alien and other?How do we extend hospitality to strangers, allowing them an honored place among us?

These age-old questions have no simple answers. We must seek to answer them daily with our lives.

A lot of people have perceptions and opinions about church and some of them, quite frankly, are true. But is that really what the church is about, the real church? In this book we will journey through the idea of a Strictly Inclusive church. In a world that that has concluded they do not belong in church, and struggles to understand God's grace, it is important that we commit to inclusivity- regardless of the struggles that an inclusive church will inevitably bring. We have been included to include, loved to show love. Jesus came to establish an inclusive church; not an easy, mess-free church, but a Strictly Inclusive church.
