Holy Envy. Finding God in the Faith of Others.
Holy Envy. Finding God in the Faith of Others.
£16.99
In this hardback book, Barbara Brown Taylor tackles the questions, worries and concerns that arise when we encounter “difference” and “others” and explores what is opened and what is revealed when we accept the invitations to investigate all the wonder before us. Here we learn not only that God’s preferred language is driven by curiosity and specialises in questions, but we also discover the spiritual riches God can teach us from the faith of others.

The Selfless Way of Christ
Spiritual Growth, The Inner Journey
Downward Mobility and the Spiritual Life by Henri Nouwen
In these short reflections Herne Nouwen explores the theme of downward mobility as the way of Christ, and the things that tempt us away from it, namely, the lure of success, of power, of being needed and important. Originally serialized in the magazine Sojourners, Nouwen wrote the articles during his years as a professor at Yale Divinity School. There he enjoyed academic success and found fame as a spiritual writer, but was struggling to find his true vocation. Here he seeks to explain for himself and his readers how choosing the downwardly mobile path can, conversely, be the means of growth and new life in Christ.

Our Father: A4 signed print

The Lord’s Prayer circa. 1400AD
Oure Fader in hevene riche,
Thin name be iblesced evere iliche,
Led us Loverd into thi blisce,
Let us nevre thin riche misse.
Let us Loverd underfon
That thin wille be evere idon
Also hit is in hevene
In erthe be hit evene,
The hevene bred that lasteth ay
Gif us Loverd this ilke day,
Forgif us Loverd in our bone
Al that we haven here misdone,
Also wisliche ase we forgiven
Ilwiles we in this worlde liven
Al that us is here misdo
And we biseken the thereto,
Led us Loverd to non fondinge
And sscild us from alle evel thinge.

Translation for ‘Our Father’:
Our Father in heaven rich,
Thy name be blessed I wish,
Lead us Lord into thy bliss,
Let us never thy riches miss.
Let us Lord accept alone
That thy will be ever done
Also as it is in heaven
In earth may it be even,
The heaven bread that lasteth today
Give us Lord this same day,
Forgive us Lord to our bone
All that we have here misdone,
Also as we wisely forgave
While we in this world live
All that here us misdo
And we beseech thee too,
Lead us Lord to our testing
And shield us from all evil thing.
Adapted using a medieval dictionary & a bit of
imagination - language scholars please excuse any
horrible mistakes.
The modern
version interwoven
with the old:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.

Your Breath: A4 signed print
Creativity, Spiritual Growth
Created: 1998
Words:
Your breath I hear as the wind,
whispering worship
Your peace I seek as I travel
Your face I see as the sun,
smiling solace
Your peace I seek as I travel
Your hand I feel as the water,
cradling comfort
Your peace I seek as I travel
Mary says: 'Your Breath' is about the feeling I get when I think about leaving our Island home to travel inland and how much the everyday experience of being surrounded by its infinite changes - and constancy - relates to my experience of God.
