Through accounts of spirituality at work in his life, Kirk Bartha discovers splendor in the ordinary and occasionally witnesses the extraordinary things of God. Clairvaux Manifesto can be translated “Clear Valley Clear Word”. This book is a clarion call to prayer in action.

“Clairvaux Manifesto takes your breath away. It’s a story about living life in moments… a book of hope that readers can take a good portion of, experience themselves, and be changed by it.”

Doris Olafsen; VP Philanthropy, Opportunity International

“We’ll never know the missions that are activated as thousands start to process Clairvaux Manifesto. But like the legacy of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, whose life of prayer and work inspired this book, the impact from its pages will be historic.”

Lorna Dueck; Executive Producer, Listen Up TV

“Historically engaging, presently relevant, and futuristically necessary. Pay attention, because there’s something significant being birthed in these pages.”

Michael Lau; Banking Professional; Hong Kong, China

From the introduction, “I’m just one soul in the armada, scrambling into the crow’s nest of a ship, calling toward the horizon. Confined as a writer experimenting with from, I attempt to lead words in certain directions and often deconstruct those very directions with other words, like adjusting snapping sails. Expressing my perspective of a wide open sea, this canvas might just tear away in the wind.”

For the cost of a cup of Coffee?

How many times have you heard that you can save the life of a child for just the cost of a cup of coffee per day? A cup of coffee per day? Have we gone so far from the reality of human suffering that we are having to decide between a life and a beverage? Although the math works, and I understand the saying, there is something seriously wrong with this analogy.

We are part of a global family, and our lives are intertwined with those from every nation of the world. They are our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, and we must add our voice to theirs. They are more than a budget line and a bottom dollar figure. They are worth more than the equivalent of our morning caffeine fix.
