Moment by Moment: a retreat in everyday life
Everyday Life, Spiritual Exercises, The Inner Journey
Drawing on the classic retreat model, The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius, Moment by Moment offers a new and inviting way to find God in our often busy and complex lives. In a series of 32 'Moments', the text guides the reader with thought-provoking questions, practical suggestions, and excerpts carefully chosen from Scripture and The Spiritual Exercises. Its simple format can be used by an individual or by groups in a number of ways: as a way of making the Spiritual Exercises in daily life, as a guide for daily prayer, as a companion for reflection, or as suggested themes for a retreat.
Drawing upon their extensive experience as spiritual directors, the authors write in their introduction, 'This book offers a way to reflect and sift through one's multiple life experiences and to discover in them the leading thread of God's longing and desire to make us a holy people who are given in service to others.' Anyone seeking spiritual growth will discover that Moment by Moment offers wise direction and fosters a holistic spirituality firmly rooted in the daily experience of God in one's life.

Money Sex and Power: The Challenge of the Disciplined Life
Everyday Life, Spiritual Exercises, Spiritual Growth, The Inner Journey
Money, Sex and Power: The Challenge of the Disciplined Life asks how we can apply the classic Christian vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in a modern world that seeingly rejects these values.
‘Foster follows a road few in recent years have travelled, and does so with depth, wit and down-to-earth wisdom. Don’t assume for one moment that this book is anti-money, anti-sex or anti-power: the author has a healthy respect and admiration for all three as sacred gifts of a loving creator. What he does urge us to do, though, is to “live rightly” in respect of these key areas, and so to be freed into a life of creative celebration’. (Gerard Kelly)

The Shed That Fed A Million Children: The extraordinary story of Mary’s Meals
Culture & Mission, Everyday Life
In 1992, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow was enjoying a pint with his brother when he got an idea that would change his life – and radically change the lives of others.
After watching a news bulletin about war-torn Bosnia, the two brothers agreed to take a week’s hiatus from work to help.
What neither of them expected is that what began as a one-time road trip in a beaten-up Landrover rapidly grew to become Magnus’s life’s work – leading him to leave his job, sell his house and direct all his efforts to feeding thousands of the world’s poorest children.
Magnus retells how a series of miraculous circumstances and an overwhelming display of love from those around him led to the creation of Mary’s Meals; an organisation that could hold the key to eradicating child hunger altogether. This humble, heart-warming yet powerful story has never been more relevant in our society of plenty and privilege. It will open your eyes to the extraordinary impact that one person can make.
All royalties from the sale of this book go to support the work of Mary's Meals.
