Paperback. Condición: New. The call to recognize Christ as the light of the world requires a courageous response from believers. Amidst life's distractions and challenges Christians must maintain a steady heartbeat of prayer. Contemplative prayer is a challenging yet essential practice that leads to deeper self-knowledge and love; it requires patience and perseverance, often resulting in a broken heart rather than immediate comfort, but our longing for God is reflected in our struggle: prayer-even in perceived futility-strengthens our capacity to embody Christ's redemptive love in our lives.

Paperback. Condición: New. As this title implies, praying is something that has to be learned, if it is to serve God's purpose in our lives. Prayer begins with God whose invitation into a living relationship with him calls forth from us a continuing response to his redemptive love, which is always at work in the world. Mother Mary Clare's practical guidance dispels a common misconception of prayer as the passive alternative to engagement with the needs of the world and humanity, and shows it to be, on the contrary, the most urgent and relevant task a Christian can undertake in union with Christ's saving work.Originally given as a talk to Roman Catholic novices, Learning to Pray has retained its popularity for more than half a century and has been adapted for secular readers.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book uncovers what the apocalyptic writings in the Bible were aiming to reveal about God's action in the world in the age when they were composed. It encourages us to think how their message might be interpreted for people of faith in the present age, which is facing threats at least as serious as those which seemed about to overwhelm believers, whether Jewish or Christian, at the time the apocalyptic texts were written. What is important is the message of hope which accompanies the proclamation of Divine Judgement. Jesus repeatedly urges his disciples to be alert to the signs of the times and to endure steadfastly whatever disasters and betrayals those times may bring.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book is about finding our spiritual home in God and how that helps us to lead a life of honesty and genuine love towards the rest of humanity and the planet that sustains our physical lives. A person comes home to God by learning how to walk by faith instead of being driven by fear; by finding freedom of spirit through accepting whatever yoke of discipline fits their situation. In this way a person comes not only to themselves, but to God: to a living knowledge of God. Through this understanding we reach the realization of God as our true home; someone who is always there when we turn to Him, who welcomes us back no matter how far we stray, or for how long. Our true home, our safe haven, the place where we are fully loved, is in God.Drawing on Townroe's retreat talks, these essays span many decades, but the universal truths on which they are founded resonate through time and through the shifts and changes of our increasingly complex society.

Paperback. Condición: New. Preachers and poets have made much of the fickleness of the crowds who form the backdrop to the story of Holy Week. In this book Tony Dickinson asks how far this fickleness reflects reality and how far it is a fantasy induced by failure to engage fully with the Gospel narratives. Interwoven with this analysis are depictions of three imagined encounters that might have taken place during the week leading up to the Crucifixion, two involving protagonists in the Gospel narratives and a third introducing a fictional member of the Jewish authorities.

Paperback. Condición: New. The slow progress of the churches in the twentieth century towards the unity for which Christ prayed is measured chiefly by official records of conferences, debates, declarations and agreements. What are less often recorded and rarely noticed at the individual relationships between one Christian and another of different confessions. Such personal encounters, sustained by mutual attraction, profound respect and above all by prayer, make a contribution which cannot be measured to the healing of wounds inflicted by centuries of division on the Body of Christ. This short study explores with care and sensitivity the spiritual friendship between an English Anglican and an Italian Roman Catholic, both women dedicated to the love and service of God, and both now commemorated in the Calendars of their several Churches.

Paperback. Condición: New. Dementia brings much suffering and puts an immense strain on those who are ill and their carers. It is often seen as the worst that can happen to anyone.

If we pay attention, they will teach us that cognitive impairment does not have to mean loss of faith but may open up new ways of being with God.

Paperback. Condición: New. From 1972 to 2014 Sr Edmée Kingsmill SLG published a number of articles in the Fairacres Chronicle, the Journal of the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres, that were offshoots of her doctoral research on the Song of Songs, or of her excursions into biblical Hebrew. Her essays examining aspects of the Song of Songs have been gathered together and published as Divine Love in the Song of Songs (SLG Press, 2024), while the present volume contains the studies of other texts from the Hebrew Bible and early Christian writers. Each essay is carefully crafted to explore some aspect of biblical interpretation or the literature and beliefs surrounding the origins of the Hebrew Bible, providing the reader with a wealth of information and considerable food for thought.

Paperback. Condición: New. Most of us, most of the time, prefer not to think about the universal experience of death. Death arouses disturbing instincts, emotions and memories. This is a book for those wishing to understand more about the Christian journey at the end of life, but it is not just a book about death, it is also about living with courage and grace and about facing our fears. The author writes both for the dying and for those who accompany them. He examines the questions that we are often too afraid to ask, and helps us to encompass death through a deeper understanding of the promise of union with God and life everlasting.

Paperback. Condición: New. This series of heartfelt, thought-provoking meditations originated as daily talks focussing a week-long pre-Lent retreat given for the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres Convent in 1982. The intensity of Fr Coutts' words focus us on God and his Son, on his mercy and redeeming love for us, no matter how unworthy we think we are. Indeed our very unworthiness is a matter for rejoicing, since the most unworthy are also the most blessed. There are frequent instances in the text that ask us to pause to consider or meditate; this is an aid to prayerful meditation on our lives and the gifts of the Spirit rather than simply a narrative, and it can form the basis for reflection and spiritual growth at any time.

Paperback. Condición: New. Instruments of the Passion takes as a starting point the objects associated with the journey of Jesus from Good Friday to Easter, and searches for them in the day-to-day reality of working with vulnerable and marginalized people experiencing homelessness today. In the process it explores themes of forgiveness and grace and offers a way to a deeper understanding of our individual relationship with God. Set in the context of a homeless shelter and a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the Holy Land, the text follows the traditional narrative sequence of the 'instruments' in twenty meditations which relate real-life stories and invite the reader to see the parallels in their own. Opening our eyes to the reality of the Cross in the world around us can help us also to see it in our own lives, and so to find that the instruments of the Passion are also instruments of Easter, and of hope. The book was written partly In response to the death In one year of thirteen rough sleepers with whom the author had worked. Their stories, told with raw honesty, are real, only the names have been changed. It is a relentless journey that forces us to consider painful realities and uncomfortable truths about ourselves.

Paperback. Condición: New. This volume of essays gathers together some of the articles by Sr Edmée Kingsmill SLG that were published in the Fairacres Chronicle, the Journal of the Sisters of the Love of God, between 1977 and 2018. The collection concludes the series of books of her works collected and published in 2024 and 2025. Its title reflects the ways in which Sr Edmée examined penetratingly all that was around her, looking to all points of the compass in her interests, her reading, and her knowledge. This volume includes the brief essay that she wrote examining the meaning of her life's journey, prefacing the texts of talks and articles on subjects that fascinated her and exercised her intellectually. She engaged with all of her subjects argumentatively, and in the case of her critiques of the work of other writers extended the reach of the subject of the book under review through her own exploration of its subject matter.
