The Last Journey : Reflections for the Time of Grieving
The Last Journey : Reflections for the Time of Grieving
£14.99
The need to express grief, to sing our sorrow, is as old as humanity. The Book of Psalms, sideby side with expressions of deepest praise, contains cries of unfathomable despair. Both are not only acceptable to God, but essential for our mental and spiritual health.
In The Last Journey, John Bell explores the myriad of emotions that accompany loss, offeringus a way to grieve, to search through the struggle before us – and perhaps enabling us to findthe courage to face the world with a renewed sense of hope. This book is accompanied by an audio CD of 17 songs.

At Sea With God
Seasons of Life, Spiritual Growth
At Sea With God cleverly considers the notion of seafaring as a model for our spiritual journey and invites us to leave the safety of the boatyard for the uncertainty and risk of a voyage across uncharted waters to a mysterious destination. Drawing on seven vivid images, At Sea with God casts a beautiful new light on:
The vessels that carry each of us through a lifetime of events
Cargo, which has the potential to sustain us or to weigh us down
The process of setting sail for unfamiliar destinations
Navigating uncharted waters, even when the best path is difficult to discern
Taming fear during storms and shipwrecks
Rejoicing in the serenity of calm seas and dealing with the times when we feel we are going nowhere
Choosing the best time and place to drop anchor
Written in gentle prose reminiscent of Henri Nouwen's and C. S. Lewis's, At Sea with God offers a short course in strengthening the soul using meditative tradition. For Christians of all denominations, Margaret Silf has created a safe harbour to savour again and again.

Everything Happens for a Reason
Seasons of Life, The Inner Journey
London-born Kate Bowler, a 35-year-old theology professor, is thriving in her job, married to her high-school sweetheart and besotted with her newborn son. Everything in her life seems to point towards 'blessing'.
Then she is diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer.
What does it mean to die, she wonders, in a society that insists everything happens for a reason?
Savagely funny, warm and profound, this memoir reveals how, in dying, an exceptional young woman learns to live as never before.

Come let us age! An invitation to grow old boldly
Everyday Life, Seasons of Life, The Inner Journey
In this unique book, Wanda Nash, a well-established writer on spirituality in her late seventies, reflects on growing old with faith and a positive spirit. This compelling invitation to grow old boldly – full of her own experiences and insights – includes Wanda's reflection on her encounter later in life with terminal cancer, and her thoughts on coping with the daily challenges of living a Christian life in her illness and in ageing. Demonstrating a profound sense of the value and purposefulness of 'old age', the author's indomitable spirit is matched only by fresh vision of the love of God in Jesus Christ.
Until her death in June 2015, Wanda Nash was an author and speaker on a range of subjects including stress and spirituality. Having been the UK Chair of the International Stress Management Association, she authored a number of significant books, including Christ, Stress and Glory, At Ease with Stress, Come, Let us Play!, Simple Tools for Stillness and Silence as a Meeting Place.
These reflections have been lovingly edited by Wanda's daughter, Poppy, and her friend Debbie Thrower, bringing to life the wisdom, faith and humour of old age for future generations.

Sabbath Time: A hermitage journey of retreat, return, communion
Seasons of Life, The Inner Journey
'A serious health breakdown in my thirties, where I spent over six months in recovery, made me aware of the need for greater balance in my life. Yet since then, I have continued to do too much, say “yes” instead of “no” too often, and I have struggled to set aside time for rest, prayer and reflection. But finally, after a year of thought and planning, I decided to take a whole six months off...'
From the Author Preface
Description
Being left alone to embark on a reflective journey is a great gift – particularly in our age, where remaining connected is such a driving expectation. Charles decided to take a whole six months off and to spend much of this time in a hermitage on friends’ property.
To enter a space of disconnection is both a scary and an exhilarating experience. And to 'down' tools and be still without an agenda of expectations is wonderfully open and freeing. It is also walking into mystery. Who knows what might happen?
