The first book by Paul Bayes, Bishop of Liverpool, offers a radical vision for the Church as a table, stretching down every street and into every home, at which everyone sits, eats, worships, agrees and disagrees together, as equals.

In this beautiful little book Ronald Rolheiser turns on its head the idea that religious life is the preserve of monks and nuns. Our cloisters are the walls of our home and our work, the streets we walk, and the people with whom we share our lives. The domestic is the monastic.

In this hope-filled and profoundly simple book, Henri Nouwen offers a radically fresh interpretation of modern ministry. Here he inspires devoted men and women who want to be of service in their church or community, but have found the traditional ways of ministry alienating and ineffective.

To Heal and not to Hurt examines the deep institutional roots within the Church of abusive attitudes that have caused harm and provides a calm, reasoned and practical basis on which to shape a more adequate and sustainable response in future.

Undivided Heart is a book about what drives us - reflecting on our motivation and purpose, and need to define ourselves through our faith in Christ.
