Christian spirituality, by David Winter. (Canterbury Press

are explored afresh. They offer practical help for our
anxious, pressured lifestyles and are a reminded of the
countless ways in which God seeks us and speaks to us, as the
language of traditional worship puts it, 'at all times and in
all places'; in words and in silence, in solitude and in the
company of others, in times of celebration and in quiet
reflection. The popular writer and broadcaster David
Winter introduces time-honoured ways of fostering spiritual
growth.

Mary, by Sister Wendy Beckett. (Continuum 2009) isbn
9780826441782 £12.99
'Sister Wendy draws us in to share her pilgrimage.
Her enthusiasm is contagious as she braves the gusts of frozen
snow in Ukraine, crosses the bleak Sinai desert, even climbs
scaffolding to glimpse precious art within a monastery.
As she shares what she sees in these ancient works of art we are
drawn yet again into deep reflection so that our own faith in
her words "is irradiated with the light that we see in the faith
of the early Christians".' (Delia Smith)
