Transforming Love: How friendship with Jesus changes us
Transforming Love: How friendship with Jesus changes us
£10.99
In a culture that so easily glorifies romantic love over all others, it can be easy to over look one of the greatest gifts of all: friendship. True friendship transforms us as we journey through the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of life together. And friendship with Jesus is no exception – indeed, it is the greatest invitation into a relationship that sees us forever changed for the better.
When Jesus walked the earth, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were some of his closest friends. He loved them just as they were but equally empowered them to become so much more. Here, Amy Boucher Pye unpacks the dynamics of this remarkable friendship, inviting you to be transformed by the same love that shaped their lives.
Wherever you are on your life’s journey, let yourself experience grounded faith, boundless joy, and profound peace through an ever-deepening friendship with Jesus.

Britain’s Pilgrim Places

Britain’s Pilgrim Places captures the spirit of 2,000 years of history, heritage and wonder. It is the complete guide to every spiritual treasure, including 500 enchanting holy places throughout England, Wales and Scotland and covers all major pilgrimage routes.

Each listing is illustrated in full colour and written and presented in a way that appeals to everyone. From wild hermit islands to city-centre cathedrals alike, there is something to surprise and enlighten anyone with a sense of the sacred. 2020 is the Year of the Pilgrimage and the Year of Cathedrals, and events are being held throughout the year to mark a revival in pilgrim places, cathedrals and free-form spiritual expression.
The British Pilgrimage Trust’s mission is to harness the quiet but powerful resurgence of interest in ancient ways of finding meaning and peace in the landscape. Britain’s Pilgrim Places follows on from best-selling Britain’s Holiest Places which became a 6-part BBC television series.

Nature’s Testament: Words and Pictures of a Journey with God
Uncategorized
The poems in Nature’s Testament celebrate this presence in everything from canoe trips to soul-searching enquiries into Biblical stories to the challenges and sometimes sheer silliness of daily 21st-century life. Illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, it is a tribute to the sacred, to both serious and light-hearted searches for meaning, and life in all its messy, difficult splendour.

An occupational therapist and dance/movement therapist, she received the 2012 Arts Therapy Award from the Wesley Institute, Sydney, Australia. In the associated thesis, she addressed the signs and symbols of the Gospel in Australian flora, fauna, and aboriginal culture, and incorporated photography, poetry, and prose. Nature’s Testament grew out of the author's experience of nature, friendships, and life, through the eyes of wonder and thankfulness, and through belief in a God who is present and alive to all who seek to know Him/Her.

An Ocean of Light : Contemplation, Transformation, and Liberation
Scripture & Prayer, The Inner Journey, Uncategorized
For people drawn to a life of contemplation, the dawning of luminous awareness in a mind full of clutter is deeply liberating. In the third of his best-selling books on Christian contemplative life, Martin Laird turns his attention to those who are well settled in their contemplative practice. An Ocean of Light speaks both to those just entering the contemplative path and to those with a maturing practice of contemplation.
Gradually, the practice of contemplation lifts the soul, freeing it from the blockages that introduce confusion into our identity and thus confusion about the mystery we call God. In the course of a lifetime of inner silencing, the flower of awareness emerges: a living realization that we have never been separate from God or from the rest of humanity while we each fully become what each of us is created to be. In contemplation we become so silent before God that the "before" drops away.
Those whose lives have led them deeply into the silent land realize this, but not in the way that we realize that the square root of 144 is 12. Laird draws from a wide and diverse range of writers-from St. Augustine, Evagrius Ponticus, and St. Teresa of Avila to David Foster Wallace, Flannery O'Connor, Virginia Woolf, and Franz Wright-to ground his insight in an ancient practice and give it a voice in contemporary language. With his characteristic lyricism and gentleness, Laird guides readers through new challenges of contemplative life, such as making ourselves the focus of our own contemplative project; dealing with old pain; transforming the isolation of loneliness and depression into a liberating solidarity with all who suffer; and the danger of using a spiritual practice as a strategy to acquire and control.
