Spirituality In Season
$27.49
We are used to making Lent a special time for spiritual renewal, but the whole of the liturgical year offers an endless resource for growth in faith and understanding. Spirituality in Season explores the treasures that Christian tradition has accumulated over centuries and suggests new and creative-ways of drawing on these riches in ways that nurture both individual experience and the worshipping life of the church.
All of human life is reflected in the Christian year – the drama of its joys and sorrows, the times of waiting, the long stretches of uneventful ordinariness. This book aims to unlock the great potential of the seasons, both for those who plan and lead worship, and for those who use the church’s year as a resource for their own and others’ spiritual growth. Each chapter draws out the distinctive spiritual ‘mood’ of a particular season and offers:
-An overview of the season, its major themes and markers for the journey
-An exploration of seasonal liturgies, the lectionary readings and other resources
-Insights from writers from the Christian tradition and from literature
-Creative ideas for seasonal worship
-Practical tools for spiritual exploration.
Spirituality, liturgy and theology are often disconnected in contemporary Christian practice. Spirituality in Season offers a coherent vision for worship and personal spiritual growth that reconnects these great gifts at our disposal.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99Add to cartIn this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
