For many years now the Celtic poet, peacemaker and scholar John
Philip Newell has been writing about the sacredness of being, the
of-Godness that is at the heart of our lives and all life. In this
new work he asks what the world in general and Christianity in
particular would look like if the true depths of our sacredness
were to come forth in radically new ways.
He explores eight major features of a new birthing of
Christianity: Coming back into relationship with the Earth as
sacred Reconnecting with compassion as the ground of true
relationship Celebrating the Light that is at the heart of all life
Reverencing the wisdom of other religious traditions Rediscovering
spiritual practice as the basis for transformation Living the way
of nonviolence among nations Looking to the unconscious as the
wellspring of new vision Following love as the seed-force of new
birth in our lives and world
Drawing on modern prophets from East and West, and using the
holy island of Iona as an icon of new beginnings, this book speaks
directly to the heart of Christians those within the well-defined
bounds of Christian practice and those on the disenchanted edges as
well as to the faithful and seekers of other traditions. It offers
the hope of a fresh stirring of the Spirit among us and the
invitation to be part of laboring in a new holy birth of sacred
living."

But what if you could build your own shed from scratch? How to
Build a Shed is the ultimate practical guide. With its clear,
easy-to-follow instructions, expert advice and specially
commissioned illustrations, you'll be able to source the materials,
choose the right tools and build your dream shed on a budget - even
if you've never used a hammer.
The forgotten truths of Celtic Christianity provide a portal
into a spiritual way of experiencing the world.
The Celtic Christians beheld the world around them and perceived
the divine life of God as upholding every aspect of the material
universe. Their prayers and poems, their liturgies and theological
interpretations give Christians a sense of faith that is confident
in a merciful and infinitely creative, healing God.
In this introduction to Celtic Christian spirituality, Mary
Earle presents primary texts from the Celtic Christian tradition
selections from the works of Pelagius, Eriugena and St. Patrick, as
well as prayers and poems from Wales, the Outer Hebrides and
Ireland. These essential writings direct humanity to read the "book
of creation" as well as the Bible, and call us to remember that
matter matters. Earle's engaging facing-page commentary explores
how faithful Christians and spiritual seekers can take inspiration
from this lively tradition s ways of embodying and living the
gospel. Topics include: CreationDaily life and

The Fifth-Century Political Battles That Forever Changed the
Church
In this fascinating account of the surprisingly violent
fifth-century church, Philip Jenkins describes how political
maneuvers by a handful of powerful characters shaped Christian
doctrine. Were it not for these battles, today's church could be
teaching something very different about the nature of Jesus, and
the papacy as we know it would never have come into existence.
"Jesus Wars" reveals the profound implications of what amounts to
an accident of history: that one faction of Roman emperors and
militia-wielding bishops defeated another.

Blessing Social justice Prayer
First published in 1984, John Hardy's important interpretation of
Jane Austen's heroines breaks through the accepted tradition of
viewing the author as merely a rational comedienne of manners. He
argues instead that Jane Austen's greatness lies in her exploration
of human relationships through the subtle and original portrayal of
her heroines. Jane Austen's heroines come to enjoy a distinctive
relationship with the men they eventually marry. Between her lovers
the potential exists for the kind of intimacy that leads to a
shared privacy. Austen's recognition of this represents her special
insight into what is of central importance in human relationships.
Her belief that love and friendship are our only hope of triumphing
over solitude, and the character and integrity of her heroines, are
the major elements which make Jane Austen's novels so satisfying.
