A Simplified Life
The Inner Journey
As many people face the prospect of enforced change in their lives as western economies falter, this account of a life of radical simplicity freely chosen offers gentle life-giving wisdom for our times. A Simplified Life tells the story of what made a young Cambridge-educated woman embark on a solitary life, literally on the edge of the world with only a simple hut for shelter against the elements, and how that experience continues to nourish and enrich her today.

Precious Thoughts: daily readings from Thomas Merton
Daily Readings, Influences & Suggested Reading, Traditional Monasticism
Thomas Merton wrote to people of all faiths and none; he wrote to people who were searching, and those who were firmly established in religious orders; he wrote to students, peace activists and `ordinary' people who had read about him and were curious. Some are letters of spiritual direction, a sharing of spiritual insights and social concerns, some more personal. In this carefully selected collection, Merton scholar, Fiona Gardner, has focused on extracts that seem to speak to all who are searching.
They have been chosen because they offer an opening into something other - to provide a way into both silence and contemplative prayer.

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.
