Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In Search of Julian of Norwich is a spiritual detective story. Who was Julian? Why has she suddenly become so famous? Why did her writings disappear for centuries? Why is everyone reading them today? This fascinating illustrated exploration of Julian's world - her city, her century, and her remarkable book, the first written by a woman in English - uncovers the clues to the exciting mystery that is Julian. Those who have already encountered her through the tantalising short extracts from her writing in the best-selling Enfolded in Love will be delighted that Sheila Upjohn, who made the lively translation, has now included longer passages in this perceptive analysis of Julian's life, her writing and her relevance to the world today. This is the perfect introduction to an extraordinary woman and a major writer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Frances Young explores the ways in which the earliest theologians and preachers read the Bible, and seeks to recover a sense of the importance of the spiritual meaning of the text, as much as the literal or historic meaning. She attempts to bridge a gap between the work of biblical scholars and what is practised and believed by faithful church-goers, by drawing on the wisdom of the church Fathers and exploring their relationship with scripture. Brokenness and Blessing brings together Frances Young's years of work as a scholar in the field of Biblical Studies, and as a preacher, as well as her personal experiences of caring for a son with profound learning disabilities and her journey with him. What emerges is a spirituality which offers both a realistic view of the human condition as well as 'the wonderful gift of grace which brings hope of transformation'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. ** Suitable for online learning and study ** Brilliant Lent course for individuals and groups, based on the Oscar-winning film 'The King's Speech'. The purpose of 'Finding a Voice' could be summed up in the words of the Kings speech therapist: To give them faith in their voice and let them know a friend is listening. The course, which offers five group sessions plus weekly material for private reading, uses the film as a discussion starter and relates it to what the Bible has to say about such universal issues as discouragement and determination, fear and friendship, calling and courage. The Kings Speech is such a runaway success because it holds that mirror to our world, and offers hope of overcoming the difficulties. It shows hope built out of friendship, trust and supportive love; and courage in the face of gathering evil. Lent is traditionally a time for strengthening resolve, bringing believers together in trust and encouragement as they strive to follow their calling.

A selection of Christian writers and leaders have each been invited to choose a book (or selection of books), and introduce it anew for a modern audience.

In this volume, popular Celtic spirituality writer David Adam introduces the Book of Psalms, and explains how the poetry and songs therein have helped him express his faith throughout his life. Each volume in this essential series contains the text of the selected book, from the New Jerusalem Bible, one of the most respected and readable modern English translations.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Many in church leadership roles know the truth of Bonhoeffer's words, but there seem to be obstacles and barriers that get in the way of that sort of quality of listening. We seem to live with the illusion that speaking and doing are more important than listening. In the face of all the many challenges for the church the temptation is for more strategies for success, more pressure to turn things around. Listening - in whatever form - easily gets marginalized. Here, Chris Edmonson outlines why listening is so essential to good leadership. He looks at the barriers to good communication, at the importance of silence and stillness, and the challenges of listening to those from whom we differ. He emphasizes the essential elements of discernment and prophecy, looking closely at what those terms really mean, and offers some practical ways forward for leaders wishing to create a more listening culture in their church communities. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Our challenge today is to find a point from which we can look upon the world as a whole and grasp its true meaning. For the Christian this means acquiring 'the mind of Christ': the healing Word who unites everything in himself - from the minutiae of our day to day experience to the deep structure of everything that exists.' Through deeply engaging the Word, writes Bishop Basil of AmphipolIs, we find oneness, or at-one-ment, with God, fellow believers and ourselves. And this oneness brings healing - a sense that the scatteredness of life has been overcome and that we have found our proper place in God's world. This stirring book by Bishop Basil walks us through the intimate experience of meeting Christ in our daily lives to the thrilling realisation of our significance in a cosmos created entirely for the purpose of bringing us into relationship with him. It draws deeply on scripture, Orthodox liturgies and insights of the early Church Fathers, speaking with clarity and relevance to the world we live in today and the divisions that exist both within the Church and in its relationships with ecology, philosophy and science. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Have you ever wondered . Whether vicars really only work on Sundays? What's the difference between Catholic and Protestant, and which is the Church of England anyway? What Christians really believe about sex, war or angels? Why everyone's so worked up about the question of same-sex marriage?

Caroline Symcox's lively question-and-answer format provides a clear, contemporary introduction to the Christian faith and the workings of the Church of England: covering everything from what it's like to be a vicar, how the Church developed and what Christians believe, to what they think on key ethical issues.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Most people keep two Christmases. One is blazing with greens, reds and gold, a public-spirited, family affair, an undignified, unholy row - it is the Christmas we love to hate. The other Christmas is secret - blue and silvery white for those who have the eyes for that kind of thing - but for most, a fleeting sense of joy and wonder.' The Secret Christmas leaves the familiar outward celebrations and goes in search of people's deepest thoughts, feelings and memories at Christmas. It finds protest and doubt as well as anticipation, faith and delight revealed in the writings of Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis and many others. This beautiful anthology of poetry and prose will be valued by all who seek the true meaning of Christmas and words that really matter. All royalties go to the homeless charity Crisis. The Secret Christmas is compiled and introduced by Terence Handley MacMath, writer, mother of four and Anglican priest. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'It is love which called us into life in the first place and love which can heal our wounds and give us the courage to come out of our safe hiding places and step out into the world. Only love can enable us to transcend our limits and move into the open exposed country beyond our barriers, and it is Jesus our companion, the one who dwells, and has always dwelt, within our hearts who shows us what his love is and invites us to participate in it.' Towards a New Day - part-memoir, part-journal - is the story of Ralph Martin, a Canadian priest who travelled to England as a young man to become a member of the Society of the Sacred Mission, an Anglican religious community. He has now been a member of SSM for close on sixty years. For nearly a decade, at a crucial time of change, he was Provincial of the English Province and set a course for the future. Subsequently he fulfilled a number of significant roles in different parts of the world. Yet this book is more than the story of one monk. Through Fr Ralph's journey, his insight, wisdom and responses to the challenges facing the SSM as it sought to fulfil its monastic mission in a rapidly changing world, we discover the story of the reimagination and regeneration of one of Anglicanism's most significant Orders. Towards a New Day has been introduced, edited and annotated by Canon Vincent Strudwick, an historical theologian, who was Sub-Warden of SSM's College at Kelham before the crisis years, and has remained a friend and supporter of the Society and its members. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
