Reading with God: Lectio Divina
£11.99
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.

The Inner Journey
The spiritual and psychological insights of these essays were nurtured in a monastic milieu, but their issues are universally human. Thomas Merton lays a foundation for personal growth and transformation through fidelity to "our own truth and inner being".

Faith Beyond Belief: spirituality for our times
Spiritual Growth, The Inner Journey, Traditional Monasticism
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.
