Worship in the
Spirit of Jesus:

Theology, Liturgy, and Songs without Violence


Worship in the Spirit of Jesus

Worship in the Spirit of Jesus, a book by Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer and BFJ member Bret Hesla, has three main goals:

  • to engage adult lay Christians in discussions that examine how and why Christianity came to have so many violent images and expectations of God

  • to describe the historical and modern consequences of these violent images and expectations

  • to offer alternative theological understandings and worship resources that are rooted in the nonviolent spirit of Jesus

Includes CD-ROM with permission to copy and adapt.

Linda Breitag:
Feet to the Fire

Feet to the Fire CD image

For this CD, Linda Breitag —  fiddler, guitarist and singer —  travels to a Québec studio to record an album on which she plays with many of the musicians with whom she shared music while living there. Jean-Paul Loyer, André Marchand, Pete Sutherland, Normand Miron, Guy Bouchard and many others were pleased to join this multi-talented musician on this recording. With her rich voice, she magnificently sings her own songs which are full of emotion while interspersing lively Québécois reels as well as American or European melodies. Linda's recording is very exciting and colorful—a recording resembling her and which we are excited to promote.

A New Perspective: Songs of Simple Living.

Larry Dittberner and Bret Hesla

A New Perspective CD image

In this recording (their first), Larry and Bret put together a collection reflecting their lives, a blend of creation-centered spirituality and environmental activism.   With issues ranging from cooking to soil erosion to peace, the authors sing about everyday living as sacred and important.  The song styles range from prayers and hymns suitable for worshiping groups to raps and acoustic folk material.  Since the 1991 release of this recording, several of these songs have been widely recorded and reprinted, including: When Justice Comes * All in All (Celtic Prayer) * The Farmer’s Market  * Midnight Lullaby  * Bread For the Journey  * Stir Fry  * We’ve Got to Stop Treating the Soil Like Dirt  * Yea O God (round) * A New Perspective (poem by E.B. Browning)

The Big Fat Tape
of Songs for Kids

Bret Hesla and Larry Dittberner

Big Fat Tape CD image

Nineteen original and traditional songs joyfully blended like a bouquet of flowers picked from your neighbor's garden.  This is not the shallow children's fare of feel-good happy rainbow music. This enduring recording touches the many moods that children feel, and connects old favorites with wonderful new material.  Larry and Bret love to sing, love to make music together, and love to do so with children. Their many years of singing experience season this recording with joy, tenderness, pizzazz,  longing, and gusto.  This is a must. (1992, 38 min.)
