St Mary Magdalen in Provence
The Coffin and the Cave
Michael Donley
Concentrates on the venerable tradition that links Mary to the heart of la Provence verte. To the cave in the massif of Saint-Baume where she is said to have ended her days as a hermit, after helping evangelize the area; and to the coffin in the nearby town of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume which is said to contain her bones. Places which for centuries have been a magnet for pilgrims and which remain centres of pilgrimage and spiritual activity today. Provence and Mary Magdalen - two endlessly fascinating subjects. Yet the tradition linking the two is hardly known in the English-speaking world. Here - in a quest both spiritual and historical - is its first full-length examination. Could there be any truth in it?

The Stargazer of Hardwicke
Editors: Janet and Mark Robinson
One of the best loved Victorian astronomers, Thomas William Webb (1806-1885) was driven by a strong desire to inform and enthuse others with his own passion for 'star-gazing' – the viewing of the wonders and glories of creation under ordinary circumstances'. From his vicarage at Hardwicke, near Hay on Wye, there issued a stream of books, articles and letters on the subject. He is a fine example of the type of English 'parson naturalist' who, while pursuing his passion for the wonders of the heavens, nonetheless conscientiously fulfilled his calling in a tranquil corner of England.

The Theology of the Body Made Simple
An Introduction to John Paul II's 'Gospel of the Body'
Anthony Percy
Who am I? What am I? Great questions – but where do I begin to find the answers? The Theology of the Body is a good starting point. It is a dynamic new way of understanding who we are. Theology of the Body Made Simple beautifully communicates that the universal vocation of all humanity is to love as a sincere gift of self. The book will introduce you to the basic experiences and concepts taught by Pope John Paul II. It will give you confidence: confidence to know who you are and in your ability to speak the truth in love.
Theology of the Body will be one of the greatest of the many great legacies of Pope John Paul II. Fr Percy's book provides a fine introduction to this tremendous resource for evangelisation and the renewal of hope in our world.

This Restless Prelate: Bishop Baines

The History and Spirituality of Enclosure for Cloistered Nuns
Dom Jean Prou OSB, and the Benedictine nuns of the Solesmes Congregation
Translated by Br David Hayes
The enclosure of nuns is a sign of contradiction in today's world. What are the origins of cloistered life? Written by cloistered women, this unique book examines the question from a biblical, historical, spiritual and theological perspective, showing that the roots of enclosure plunge into the very origins of religious life of both men and women in the early Church, and examines forms of enclosure chosen and developed by women themselves.

William Bernard Ullathorne 1806 –1889
Celebrating the bi-centenary of his birth this is the first new biography of Ullathorne since 1926. As a monk he was inspired by the powerful blend of stability and freedom which is the spirit of St Benedict, and as a bishop he became a wise father to the diocesan clergy and the greatest advocate and friend of women who found their fulfilment in convent life. His large heart, practical common sense and instinctive faith in God made him a humane and sympathetic leader, religious superior and friend, and a far more interesting and complex person than has perhaps been appreciated.
