Download River of the Spirit: The Spirituality of Simon Barrington-Ward Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Fairacres Publications 189 In this study of the spirituality of one of the Anglican Church’s great spiritual leaders the author considers the ways in which spirituality can represent our patterns of life with God that merge experience, prayer, community, theology and mission. Each chapter focuses on aspects of the great Easter and liturgical themes of life, death, resurrection and outpoured Holy Spirit. The image of the river of the Spirit provides a practical way into living with Christ, shaped by His passion, for the transformation of the world. It is a way that draws together different traditions in a world embracing spirituality embodied in, and beyond, the Jesus Prayer.

Download Dante’s Spiritual Journey Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Fairacres Publication 191 This book is the fruit of nearly six decades of engagement with the Divine Comedy, a poem that has captured and held the imagination of Christians for seven hundred years. The author describes how Dante’s journey through the three realms, Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso maps onto the inner spiritual journey of all Christians. The dark wood in which the poem begins sums up Dante’s own mid-life crisis—moral, political and financial—and the beginning of a sometimes humiliating journey to self-knowledge. The questions that Dante addresses, attempting to explain the consequences of the death and resurrection of Jesus, are questions that still concern us today. This book accompanies us on our quest to a greater understanding of the relationship between Christian faith and human life.

Download A Kind of Watershed Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Fairacres Publications 111 The watershed shown on the front cover is Striding Edge in the Helvellyn area of the Lake District. The shadow on one side of the ridge and light on the other are a striking visual image of the experience of forgiveness and new life which the author has come to associate with repentance. Her personal introduction to this sacrament explains why to go to confession and how to set about it. As Michael Mayne says in his foreword, ‘Those who have known that sense of liberation, even resurrection, within the context of sacramental confession will not need Chris North’s words to confirm their own experience. Others, who are not aware that confession is available or are suspicious of this good Anglican practice, may be reassured and encouraged to explore for themselves this most costly yet rewarding of ways of encountering the grace of God.

Download The Visiting Minister Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
There are many reasons why a church may have a visitor coming to celebrate their services for them, and the incumbent is not always available to help if the occasion is unexpected. Anything from illness of the incumbent to awaiting the appointment of a new priest can mean that the minister who celebrates the service might be a visitor who does not know the church and will need introducing to its in-house styles and customs. The group inviting visitors will therefore need to liaise with the visitor and prepare the church ready for worship. This short guide is written to help in these tasks of preparation. Its checklists and images comprise a simple guide explaining what needs to be done to support the visitor and make sure the service runs smoothly.

Download Anselm of Canterbury Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
For those who study St Anselm, his prayers provide an intimate personal introduction to his thinking and his spirituality. For Anselm, who never considered himself a teacher of prayer, his prayers were simply personal devotions that he occasionally shared with others to encourage them to develop their own devotional style. Anselm would probably have been surprised to discover not only how widely his words were disseminated, but also the ways in which their translation and interpretation changed over the centuries. This brief study, by one of the leading scholars of early monastic life and thought, examines Anselm’s prayers as models and inspiration for mystics, saints and writers up to the present day.

Download Our Deepest Desire: Prayer, Fasting & Almsgiving in the Writings of Augustine of Hippo Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Fairacres Publication 193 This is a book about the practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving as we meet them in the teaching of St Augustine of Hippo. He is generally acclaimed as someone who has had enormous influence on Christian theology and much has been written about him by scholars. However, apart from a number of translations of the Confessions, few of his writings are accessible to the ordinary reader, even though, as Bishop of Hippo, he constantly wrote and preached for his people. The first part of this book presents Augustine’s teaching on three central practices of Christian living—prayer, fasting and almsgiving—with reference to his sermons and his commentaries on the Psalms. The second part places it alongside some recent authors who demonstrate how this triad continues to be of value to Christians today. Although it has been conceived as a Lent book, this text provides a reflective introduction to these ways of Christian living in whatever season of the Church’s year a reader picks it up.

Download Four Ways to the Cross Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Most of us live, in our prayers and our worship, and in our understanding of Christian discipleship, with one Passion story. We take incidents from the four Gospel accounts of the suffering and death of Jesus and weave them into a single ‘harmonized’ whole. In this essay, Tony Dickinson unravels these four narrative strands to reveal an understanding of the events that shape each one. He also examines how each account is influenced by the sacred writings of Israel, especially the Psalms.
