Faith Beyond Belief: spirituality for our times
£11.99
Bro David Steindl-Rast is a monk of Mount Saviour Monastery in Elmira, New York, and Father Anselm Grun OSB, is a monk of the Benedictine abbey of Munsterschwarzach, Germany. Together they are figures of hope, people who by the power of their example can offer an orientation in a world that has become too complex to comprehend. This book is based on their conversations, and could be read as a ‘crash course’ in foundational Christian spirituality. In this book we meet two spiritual masters speaking from their hearts and a wealth of experience.

Reading with God: Lectio Divina
Scripture & Prayer, Spiritual Exercises, The Inner Journey, Traditional Monasticism
Lectio Divina, or the art of praying with the Bible, was an art all but lost outside monastic communities, but now being re-discovered by increasing numbers of lay people. Following St. Benedict's opening command in his Rule to "listen", attending to the word of God through the printed text is an art which helps us to listen to God in a world where we are surrounded by a cacophony of noise. David Foster has written a masterly guide to this art.

Carmina Gadelica: Hymns and Incantations
Celtic Prayer, Celtic Studies, Celtic Studies & Spirituality, Scripture & Prayer, Spiritual Growth
Carmina Gadelica is an anthology of poems and prayers from the Gaelic oral tradition, the most comprehensive ever collected. They came from communities all over the Highlands and Islands of Scotlad, were often shared or performed in the evening ceilidh and therby passed on from generation to generation. Alexander Carmichael complied the collection in the second half of the nineteenth century, and in doing so created a lasting record of a culture and way of life that has now largely disappeared. In the Introduction, Carmichael recounts with great warmth and evident pleasure the hospitality which he received from the people whose songs and stories he was anxious to record "I have three regrets -" he says, "that I had not been earlier collecting, that I have not been more diligent in collecting, and that I am not better qualified to treat what I have collected." Nevertheless, Carmina Gadelica quickly became an invaluable resource for those wanting to study and understand Gaelic culture and for those wanting to experience the beauty and wisdom of its oral literature.

Franciscan Spirituality: Following St Francis Today
The Inner Journey, Traditional Monasticism
What is special about the spirituality of St Francis?
Can it be possible for ordinary men and women today, with family, jobs, and other responsibilities, to follow in the way of a thirteenth-century friar?
Brother Ramon, an Anglican Franciscan Friar, shows us that Franciscan spirituality is as compelling and relevant today as ever. It is marked by spontaneity and emotional freedom, by openness to every human being and love for the natural world. It treasures both the evangelical and the catholic nature of the gospel. It is rooted in a biblical faith and in reverence for the whole of creation.
Franciscan Spirituality introduces us to the world of Francis and his first followers and shows how their excitement and wonder at Jesus alive in their midst can still be recaptured.
The book is illustrated throughout by Molly Dowell
