Catholic Churches of England and Wales
Christopher Martin
Photographs by Alex Ramsay. Foreword by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
Demonstrates with superb illustrations that many Victorian Catholic churches were masterpieces, that Catholics built churches and chapels of astonishing confidence even in the 18th century, and that in the 20th century Catholic church-builders grasped the architectural opportunities offered by the modern age with enthusiasm. The churches in this important book are fascinating not only for their architecture but for what they tell us about the politics, history and drama of their times. Brings together a too-often ignored, and sometimes threatened, part of the nation's heritage to a wider audience.

Gospel Chivalry
Franciscan Romanticism
Mark of Whitstable
At its zenith in the high Middle Ages, chivalry embodied the concept of the ideal life of a knight. However, this was an ideal rarely met, and the chivalric code promoting valour, courtesy, generosity and defense of the weak, was often sadly neglected. St.Francis consciously set out to redeem chivalry, or at least, to transform its significance, using its language in a new and revolutionary way for the Gospel life he has chosen.

I See Satan Fall Like Lightning
The Icon in My Pocket
Owe Wikström
Translated by Yvonne King
Practically everyone loves to travel, to discover something new - or to find space and time on their journey to discover new realities. So this book, superbly translated from the original Swedish, reflects on our modern obsession with travel whilst discussing existential questions. But is there something more? The outward journey can be the start of an inner journey. The icon carried in the author's pocket speaks of an inner journey. At a time when many people feel confused and embrarrassed by talk about spirituality, the author puts forward powerful ideas in an eminently readable style.

Inklings of Heaven
Sean Connolly
This work explores and systematises the eschatology of C.S.Lewis and subjects it to theological scrutiny. In particular assessing Lewis' thought in the light of Christian theological sources and uses some contemporary theological giants, especially Jurgen Moltmann and Karl Rahner. The author examines Lewis' use of metaphor and the relationship of imagination to reason within his work. Although there are many books on Lewis, there are few that make a rigorous and critical assessment of his theology, and none that examine his eschatology in depth. This book is written for academics and students of C.S.Lewis, as well as for students of theology.

Mystery of the Church
Paul Haffner
Presents a global picture of the main themes of current ecclesiology. First, it deals with the institution of the Church and her essential nature. Subsequently the four hallmarks of the Church are described. Her unity and holiness are guaranteed by the sanctity of Christ her Head despite the sinfulness of her members. The catholicity of the Church is also examined from the perspective of Eastern Christendom. The apostolicity of the Church leads to a description of the Petrine Office. The Church is seen as the instrument of salvation, and her relationship with the State and with science is investigated. Finally the Church is pictured as leading to the Kingdom of God.

Blessed Pius IX
Robert de Mattei
Translated by John Laughland
A much welcomed English translation of this important biographical study of a great Pope. Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti became Pope in 1846, and this book specifically deals with the 32 years of his Pontificate - the longest in history after St.Peter. Not only long, but filled with major events, upheaval and political ferment, his Pontificate encapsulates the clash between the Catholic Church and the modern world born of the French Revolution. The solemn beatification of Pius IX in September 2000 celebrated his heroic virtues and makes this well-researched analysis of the historical significance of his Pontificate all the more important.

Introduction by Neville Kyrke-Smith, National Director, Aid to the Church in Need
Pope Benedict XVI does not speak in sound bites. He is a scholar, an academic, and has devoted his life to the exploration and communication of Christian doctrine. This book, however, selects the key messages of the opening period of his pontificate. Looking at the important sermons and addresses, the author presents his teaching in a form that will both inspire and enable Catholics and others to understand his message and to relate it to their own lives.

Prayer in Newman
Giovanni Velocci, C.SS.R
Translated, with an introduction by Rev Nicholas L Gregoris
Thanks to the skill of Father Nicholas Gregoris, the publication in English translation of Giovanni Velocci's important work Prayer in Newman will bring before a wider audience a significant study. In a few pages are drawn together from Newman's sermons and meditations, both Anglican and Catholic, his reflections on the life of prayer. Moreover, this little work reveals Newman himself to be a masterful teacher of the art of prayer and- most important - to be essentially a man of prayer. In Father Velocci's memorable phrase, "prayer became the preferred occupation of Newman"
As the Cause for Cardinal Newman's canonization continues to advance, this timely translation will serve to highlight the central fact that we find in Newman's inner life that profound longing for union with God in prayer which is surely the hallmark of the saints.

Prayer in the Workaday World
Arthur Middleton
Real prayer consists of three essential constituents - oral or bodily prayer, prayer of the mind and prayer of the heart or 'of the mind in the heart', and if one or the other constituent is absent it is not prayer at all. This book is not just about theory it is also about the practicalities of prayer. The author's concern is to help people discover their role of prayer in a way of living where contemplation and action harmonize so that they can 'pray without ceasing' in a busy world.

Rethinking Christendom
Europe's Struggle for Christianity
Jonathan Luxmoore and Jolanta Babiuch
This new book calls for Europe to rediscover the spirit of Christendom and pleads for an informed understanding of Christianity's historical contribution, free from today's political and ideological disputes. If European history is a verdant plain, then Christianity is the river which flows through it. It is a river with various sources: Judaic tradition, oriental faiths, Greek philosophy, Roman law. And it has been broadened by incoming streams over two millennia from Celtic and Germanic culture to humanism and Romanticism – embracing and re-directing them, but also being enriched and deepened by them.
The failure of the European Union's Constitutional Treaty has raised serious questions about the Continent's future. Christian Churches are active in this debate, as social and cultural forces with influence and outreach. Rethinking Christendom explores the background to today's discussions, drawing on views and perspectives from East and West. This book is a plea for a realistic and informed understanding of Christianity's past, present and future role – in a region where all faiths, worldviews and philosophies can and should coexist in a mutual creative harmony.
