Richard Rohr NEW

The Universal Christ

Richard Rohr Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Often our understanding is limited by culture, religious squabbling and our tendency to put ourselves at the centre. Drawing on Scripture, history and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. ‘God loves things by becoming them’, he writes, and Jesus’ life declares that humanity has never been separate from God, except by its own choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognise the Creator all around us and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is an incredible book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Mindful Silence

Phileena Heuertz Life is full of distractions that leave us disillusioned and dissatisfied with ourselves, with others, even with God. Spiritual practices that once sustained us fall short when life brings us to our limits. After years leading an international humanitarian organisation, Phileena experienced the deconstruction of her identity, worldview and faith. Centering prayer, a Christian expression of mindfulness, became a remedy offering peace and purpose. The hallmarks of contemplative spirituality have never been more important for our society. In solitude, we are present. In silence, we listen. In stillness, we find self-control. This practice helps us discern the voice of God, find our true self and live with purpose. Phileena offers insight, wisdom, and an exploration to contemplative spirituality and prayer practices.

Body

Best Seller

Paula Gooder The word 'spirituality' is difficult to define. It's often used in a vague way to refer to the inner relationship between one's 'spirit' and God. The implication is that people only relate to God with their 'inner' being (the soul/spirit) and not with any other part of who they are. Yet in life we tend to assume that the material is bad and the spiritual good. In the writings of Paul, the soul/spirit is to be placed in the 'good' category while opposite it, in the 'bad' category, is the body/flesh. So what about the heart and mind? Paula Gooder explores what these key concepts mean in the Bible, especially in the writings of Paul and the contrasts he drew, and what implications this has for the way we think and speak about our spirituality today.

Martyn Whittock Islam isn't the only religion that has tried to take political power and create a theocracy. In the 17th century, Christians in Britian and North America attempted to follow the example of 16th century Europeans, but learn from their mistakes. At the same time some groups planned a political and social revolution to usher in the return of Christ; while others argued for something akin to communism. Even after the Restoration in 1660 there were sects like the Quakers whose faith affected their politics. Christian radicalism is not dead, Martyn explores different generations of believers who's lasting impact still influences politics today.

Theology & Faith Mary

Andrew Jones Mary is arguably the first disciple; someone who lived in the world but also lived very close to the heart of God. Andrew Jones explores the different ways she is presented in the Gospels and Christian spirituality throughout history, showing how her significance extends far beyond the Christmas story, to the foot of the cross and beyond. By setting her in her full biblical context, he considers how Mary can be an invaluable focus for ecumenical unity, rather than a means of division. More than a mother at the manger, Mary can be a pattern for our discipleship. She is an enduring witness to the importance of transfiguration and liberation as characteristics of the Kingdom of God, characteristics that should be visible in our lives as followers of Jesus.

Trauma and Grace

Serene Jones As mental health and historical abuse are becoming more open topics, this is a timely exploration of the Bible and trauma. How does individual and collective violence affect our capacity to remember, act and love? How does it challenge our theological understanding of Grace? How can the traumatic experience of Jesus' death be remembered? Jones opens up the long-term effects of trauma on abuse survivors, war veterans and marginalised people, and the way grace and redemption are exhibited in each context. At the heart of each essay are two claims central to Christianity: We live in a world profoundly broken by violence, and God loves this world and desires that suffering be met by hope, love and grace.

Science has explained it, they assume. Science and religion just don't mix. Discover a fresh way of thinking about science and Christianity that dispels common misconceptions. They're not opposed; they can and must mix to give us a full understanding of life and its meaning.

Reformation Divided

FLASH SALE

Eamon Duffy Explore the impact of the cataclysmic transformations of European Christianity. The religious revolution initiated by Martin Luther, usually referred to as 'The Reformation' implies a shattering of religious foundations as a single process, in which a defective form of Christianity was replaced by one that was unequivocally benign. Duffy challenges these assumptions, tracing ways reforming Christendom from within, initiated by Christian humanists like Erasmus and Thomas More, broke apart into conflicting murderous energies and ideologies, dividing not only Catholic from Protestant, but creating deep internal rifts and persecution within the church. Conflicts whose legacy continues to shape the world.

James Boyce The belief that we are all innately sinful has a firm grip on Western consciousness and culture - even in the writings of avowed atheists such as Marx, Freud and Dawkins.

According to the doctrine of original sin, humans are born bad and only God's grace can bring salvation. Historian James Boyce shows how these ideas have shaped the Western view of human nature. The legacy of original sin takes many forms, including the distinctive discontent of the West; feelings of guilt and inadequacy associated not with doing wrong, but being wrong. This book is a fascinating journey from Adam and Eve all the way to today in a sweeping story of a controversial idea and its remarkable influence.

Christian Life When God Becomes Real

Brian Johnson Panic snuck up on Brian while he was out with his son. Waiting for the ambulance to arrive, unsure of what was happening and fearing the worst, he asked his family to pray. In this, his first book, Brian shares how the panic and anxiety of his early life - panic he'd thought he'd beaten - came back out of nowhere and pulled the rug from under him. Brian had built a successful Christian music label and written award-winning worship songs. He was at the height of success, and from all appearances things were better than ever, but he suddenly fell into a downward spiral. This is a vulnerable story of overcoming some of the emotional issues men struggle to discusss. Discover how to find God, even in your darkest hour.

The Church of England used to be cushioned by privilege, in the middle of our society and at the top. Today, it's more often on the edge and underneath, marginalised and not always taken seriously. But this is good news, because on the edge and underneath is where the people are. Equality and justice are at the heart of The Table - justice that does not come without struggle, patience and quiet perseverance. Bishop Paul argues that a Church that knows justice and Jesus is a Church that can best accommodate our diverse communities and embody the hopes of future generations.

Erwin Raphael McManus The Way of the Warrior Pastor Erwin Raphael McManus believes that to experience and establish peace, we must confront the battles raging within. Encountering peace doesn't occur by accident but by artful intention. A warrior is called to decisiveness, self-examination and pursuing spiritual wholeness. Through ancient biblical practices of humility, focus, ownership, clarity, strength and vulnerability, he guides you to a deeper understanding of your inner workings and provides guidance in establishing peace and tranquility in your home, neighbourhood and communities! In the style of a battle-wisened teacher, McManus delivers wisdom, instills passion and provides the sacred steps needed to become the warrior you were meant to be.

Best Seller

At the end of our life we're not measured by successes and failures. All of it blurs together into a single memory of life. What gives someone solace or haunts them is what they could have done but didn't, the life they could have lived based on the choices they made. This book is a push toward "courageous life". By examining the account of Elisha and the King of Israel, McManus demonstrates why it's best to follow God into battle with an empty quiver. Leaving everything on the battlefield feels risky but yields the deepest fulfilment we can know in life.

Fiction The Kilfinan Treasure

Harry Hunter Something has disturbed the daily routine of Kilfinan, a bustling little port on the west coast of Scotland. Curious entries in the local newspaper hint at the possibility of hidden treasure in the local area. Even though the key to solving the puzzle seems to lie in passages from the Bible, it attracts the interest of believers and non-believers alike. Non-churchgoers discover that the verses seem to have a particular meaning for them. Who is setting the clues, and why? How does an encounter with God's Word affect the lives of ordinary people? If they find the Bible helpful, what is stopping them going to church? Is there an actual prize or is it just a clever way of getting people to read it?

Lost and directionless, Sheridan paired his spiritual journey with a literal one: a 100 mile pilgrimage along the English coast to places of significance in early spirituality. What makes us who we are? What shapes our hopes and how do we adjust when things don't go that way? Can we recover if we make a choice that's less than perfect? Voysey weaves early church history with his struggle to find purpose, discovering how God calls us to an identity bigger than any earthly role. Includes reflections for each chapter on trusting God's leading, no matter where it take us.
