Spirituality

Liz Hoare investigates the lives and writings of twelve great spiritual writers of our times, looking especially at spiritual growth and discipleship.

Specifically aimed at the busy lay person, this book underlines the idea that spirituality is not exotic, something for the few, but that it is in ordinary things and daily life that we can find intimacy with God.

In this imaginative and rich prayer resource, words and icon-like images of hands, inspired by biblical figures, come together powerfully to create a versatile collection of contemporary liturgies. A unique resource for alternative worship, prayer groups, retreats and quiet days. Includes a CD of colour images for projection or printing.

First published in 1980, Enfolded in Love offers short extracts from Julian of Norwich's writings, arranged for daily devotional reading. This new edition curated by Fr Luke Penkett, archivist and librarian of the Julian Centre, presents her words anew for a modern generation.

Shows how religious traditions emerge from and converge on a divine nature and mystic quality that creates a loving heart. The author describes this phenomenon in her own experience and elaborates on that mystical core, the notion of the divine, the shape of interreligious dialogue, and the personal, spiritual, and ethical challenges it poses.

God in our Midst follows the pattern of the Christian year, with sections on 'Advent, Christmas and Epiphany', 'Jesus' Ministry' and 'Holy Week and Easter'. But the book also contains two sections devoted to pieces that either draw their immediate inspiration from the Old Testament, or have been written for special occasions.
