Pan-Religious Discipleship: Thorns and Thistles Published by Outskirts Press

Outskirts Press announces the latest highly anticipated New American Standard Bible book from Providence, RI author, Mark Escobar.

Providence, RI, April 28, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Thorns and Thistles: Pathways to Discipleship Cycle B by Mark Escobar. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the New American Standard Bible category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/ThornsandThistlesCycleB was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

Through the centuries, our faith community has become a rich mosaic of cultures which enriches us in a variety of ways and expressions. The insight of faith and the courage of dynamism toward appropriation and reflection of the gospel values enable the author to explore other options that connect social issues with biblical teachings and afford him an opportunity to count both the blessings and the responsibilities they entail.

This compilation of homilies, despite its throbbing features and layers of constant allusion to other disciplines, absorbs the untold wealth of being a human who remembers God’s covenant with humanity. It is embedded in a living and spiritual dimension that shapes priorities in dialogue with the world. It takes a common stand that extends the ideals of justice, preferential option for the poor, freedom and radical discipleship.

With the onslaught of reflections and other biblical materials available online, the author has thought it best to welcome the challenge of putting into writing his homilies for each Sunday celebration. Hence, as a form of sharing, these written homilies are meant to help all appreciate their sense of discipleship. Like the seemingly endless footsteps of Christ in one’s life, the gift of the Spirit leads one to be united in the one faith that captures the sense of transformation as implied in gospel reflections.

284 pages in length, Thorns and Thistles: Pathways to Discipleship Cycle B is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the New American Standard Bible category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Thorns and Thistles meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $16.95.

Additionally, Thorns and Thistles can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
