Spirituality

Ed Shaw shows how we can live more connected lives with God, ourselves, others and creation.

In Invitation to Solitude and Silence, Ruth Haley Barton explores ways of connecting with God deeply and fully outside the demands and noise of daily life.

In this new edition, the author draws on the teaching of Julian of Norwich, and maintains that we project our own anger on to our image of God, whereas His compassionate love is acting at all times to abate and dispel the wrath within ourselves. Once this deficient image of God is corrected the scene is set for an authentic prayer life.

In simple practices such as walking, working, resting and waking, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Ancient spiritual understanding is explored afresh and we discover that no physical act is too earthbound or too humble to become a path to the divine. A stunningly beautiful read.
