Liturgies for Hope expresses eloquently the collective ache felt by
many in modern society today - burnout, anxiety, daily stresses -
and reminds us how important it is to turn our focus outwards, to
each other and importantly, to our ever-loving God. Born during the
Covid pandemic, authors Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore asked
each other: what can we, lovers of words, create to defy the
darkness? Inspired by Christian liturgies-a type of prayer-poem-
they created Liturgies for Hope, resolving to offer something more
beautiful and trustworthy in response to the world around them.
Deeply uplifting, this beautiful collection of 60 comforting
prayers for modern life will help readers speak to the God who
knows them, supports them, and see that whatever their
circumstances there is always more hope to be had.
The international bestselling spiritual book, now with a new look for its 20th anniversary. Eckhart Tolle demonstrates how to live a healthier, happier, mindful life by living in the present moment.
To make the journey into The Power of Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to show us how to silence our thoughts and create a liberated life.
Surrender to the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here we find our joy, are able to embrace our true selves and discover that we are already complete and perfect. If we are able to be fully present and take each step in the Now we will be opening ourselves to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.
The islands of the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the most
remote and spectacular scenery in the world. They host an
astonishing range of mysterious structures - stone circles, beehive
dwellings, holy wells and 'temples' from the Celtic era. Over a
twelve-day pilgrimage, often in appalling conditions, Alastair
McIntosh returns to the islands of his childhood and explores the
meaning of these places. Traversing moors and mountains, struggling
through torrential rivers, he walks from the most southerly tip of
Harris to the northerly Butt of Lewis. The book is a walk through
space and time, across a physical landscape and into a spiritual
one. As he battled with his own ability to endure some of the
toughest terrain in Britain, he met with the healing power of the
land and its communities. This is a moving book, a powerful
reflection not simply of this extraordinary place and its people
met along the way, but of imaginative hope for humankind.

As one of the world's most loved poets, Rumi's poems are celebrated
for their message of love and their beauty, but too often they are
stripped of their mystical and spiritual meanings. The Gift of Rumi
offers a new reading of Rumi, contextualising his work against the
broader backdrop of Islamic mysticism and adding a richness and
authenticity that is lacking in many Westernized conceptions of his
work. Author Emily O'Dell has studied Sufism both academically, in
her work and research at Harvard, Columbia, and the American
University of Beirut, and in practice, learning from a Mevlevi
master and his whirling dervishes. She weaves this expertise
throughout The Gift of Rumi, sharing a new vision of Rumi's classic
work. At the heart of Rumi's mystical poetry is the "religion of
love" which transcends all religions. Through his majestic verses
of ecstasy and longing, Rumi invites us into the religion of the
heart and guides us to our own loving inner essence. The Gifts of
Rumi gives us a key to experiencing this profound and powerful
invitation, allowing readers to meet the master in a new way.
