Pilgrim Journeys
Whether you’re going on a pilgrimage this summer or you’re more of an ‘armchair traveller’, Sally Welch’s Pilgrim Journeys is just what you need to discover the real meaning of and benefits to the Christian practice of pilgrimage.
This absorbing book shows how insights gained on the journey can be incorporated into the spiritual life of every day, bringing new ways of relationship with God and with our fellow Christians, offering support and encouragement as you face the joys and challenges of life.
Postcards of Hope
For those looking for the space to reflect and pray this summer, Ellie Hart’s Postcards of Hope contains twenty-five unique hand-painted images alongside reflections to help you to hear from God. For the tired and weary and those who want to have God breathe new life into their relationship with him.
God Among the Ruins
While summer is depicted as a wonderful time, filled with joy and laughter, that can in itself make it more difficult when we face difficult times. In this much-loved book, Mags Duggan draws from her own experiences and from Habakkuk, taking you on a reflective journey through the tangled landscape of bewildered faith, through places of wrestling and waiting, and on into the growth space of deepened trust and transformation. As you read, discover for yourself the value and practice of honest prayer, of surrender, of silence and listening, and of irrepressible hoping.
Augustine's Life of Prayer, Learning and Love
So many books tell the story of St Augustine of Hippo and his impact on western Christian theology. Where this book differs is its focus on how Augustine became a Christian – the problems he faced and the doubts he struggled with. Learn more than just the story of the man; learn about how you can follow his example and take steps in your own discipleship journey.
A Franciscan Way of Life
Looking for a biography but fed up of reading about the lives of celebrities? Be inspired by the first-ever biography of Brother Ramon, a Franciscan friar and contributor to New Daylight. Learn about his quest for holiness and his journey of discovery and transformation. On top of the profoundly impactful story, this book includes a selection of Brother Ramon’s writings. Be inspired through his story and words to live your life fully for Jesus Christ.
