Original Blessing Matthew Fox This classic primer of creation spirituality pushes out the frontiers of faith in a scholarly, but immensely readable way. It removes the brackets that too often enclose Christian creeds in a punitive, life-negating cycle of sin and redemption, to reveal a much vaster canvas of a cosmos whose purpose is to incarnate and to fulfill the spirit of a creator's blessing.

Six New Gospels New Testament Women Tell Their Stories Margaret Hebblethwaite I was given this book as a Christmas gift just after it appeared, and by Boxing Day I had avidly read every word. The book explores the stories of six women who were close to Jesus at some point in his life, in the form of vivid imaginative first-person accounts, in parallel with a factual commentary. A powerful affirmation of the value of imaginative prayer. (Geoffrey Chapman, London) See Amazon’s discounted price or go to: www.bibliofind.com |

His own answer to the question of the title: "Wherever you happen to be.” (Darton, Longman & Todd, London) See www.bibliofind.com |

Reclaiming Spirituality A New Spirituality Framework for Today’s World Diarmuid O'Murchú This is a breakthrough book. Be warned - it will challenge the frontiers of even the most liberal religious mind! It draws on the findings of many contemporary disciplines to explore the widespread search for spiritual meaning in a world in which formal religion is quite possibly in its death throes.
