Charles Williams: A Celebration

Christ, The Ideal of the Priest

One of the foremost spiritual masters of the twentieth century, Blessed Columba Marmion, wrote this classic work on the priesthood to show the great holiness that priests are called to, and how that holiness can only be attained through close union with, and imitation of, Jesus Christ. While aimed at the clergy, this profound spiritual work will also be of immense inspiration for laity in coming to a deeper understanding of the true nature and calling of the priesthood.

Christ, The Life of the Soul

This guide to the spiritual life has had a direct influence on several Popes, generations of priests and religious, and countless members of the laity.

Written for Christians in every walk of life, here are pages of practical knowledge and timeless wisdom, filled with rich insight, spiritual refreshment, inspiration and encouragement. Long out of print we are pleased to offer Marmion's greatest work in a vibrant new translation that captures all of its depth and spiritual power, while remaining meticulously faithful to the French language original.

A Deep and Subtle Joy

Life at Quarr Abbey

Luke Bell OSB

An introduction to Benedictine, and indeed Christian, spirituality. It takes the reader on a twenty-four-hour personal tour of Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight. The reader is invited to share in the lives of the monks and enter into their rhythm of worship, work, reading, prayer and recreation.

The chapters are organised according to the rhythm of the day and answer questions such as, "What can we learn from the way pigs eats?" and "Why is the cloister hidden?" Taking illustrations from both nature and scripture, A Deep and Subtle Joy describes various areas in the monastery, as well as particularly moments in the day. Each chapter focuses on a time of day, which has its won spiritual theme.

Father Luke Bell, OSB, is a monk at Quarr Abbey. He studied English at Cambridge University, and has experience as a teacher, a pastor of a country parish, and a prison chaplain. He is the author of several books on aspects of Christian spirituality.

Faith and Fortune

A Faith for Skeptics

Faith Through Reason

Janne Haaland Matl

What led a young Norwegian woman, who grew up with a deep love for the rugged and majetsic scenery of her native land, and was educated in its secular, post-Protestant culture, to become a Catholic?

Thanks to this book, it is possible to return to the state of 'first love', to experience once again the greatness and daring of the 'yes' of Catholicism, its vastness, its light, and the joy that strengthens us on the precarious path of faith, and keeps intact the intensity of that first love which alone can show us the way to the summit.

Frederick William Faber

A Great Servant of God
Melissa Wilkinson

A comprehensive picture of the life and spiritual development of the founder of the London Oratory. The accepted historical image of Frederick William Faber has often been that of a portly, ebullient, over-emotional individual, chiefly remembered as the founder of the London Oratory, for his disagreemants with John Henry Newman, and his prolific output of hymns (often triumphalist and occasionally sentimental). There is, however, a more profound side to Faber, which made him, in the opinion of one of his contemporaries, Henry Edward Manning, 'a great servant of God'.

Melissa Wilkinson shows that Faber inhabited a more fascinating, sophisticated, complex and multi-faceted world than has hitherto been realised.

A Contemporary Journey through the Interior Castle of Teresa of Avila

This modern commentary is a testimony to its abiding value and its relevance to our day. The author writes in a very attractive and incisive style – reaching even literary eloquence. It is full of solid insight, keen intuition and wise counsels for the spiritual journey. Michael Buckley OCD
