Liz Hoare's list of twelve great spiritual writers includes famous
and lesser known women whose writings have touched her heart,
illuminated her mind, and sharpened her spiritual vision. Liz

written this book. Each of these great writers - novelists, poets,
preachers, philosophers and theologians - contributes something
special to our understanding of the spiritual life today. With key
extracts from each writer's best-loved books, and with suggestions
for personal reflection or group discussion, here is an
exceptionally rich resource that you will want to return to time

Holy Habits is an adventure in Christian discipleship. Inspired by
Luke’s model of church found in Acts 2:42–47, it identifies ten
habits and encourages the development of a way of life formed by
them. The habits are: Biblical Teaching, Fellowship, Breaking
Bread, Sharing Resources, Serving, Eating Together, Gladness and
Generosity, Worship, Prayer and Making More Disciples. These Bible
reading notes have been created to help churches and individuals
explore the habits through prayerful engagement with the Bible and
live them out in whole-life, missional discipleship.
Spiritual direction is in high demand among Christians of all
mainstream traditions. * The Bible is central to the practice of
spiritual direction, yet poor, shallow or rigid use of the Bible
can lead to damage and inhibit spiritual growth. * Written by an
experienced practitioner, this book fills a gap in the literature
by offering helpful ways of unlearning inadequate use of the Bible
and developing healthier approaches.
Spiritual direction is increasingly popular among Christians of all
mainstream traditions, with demand for directors outstripping
supply in many places. And although the Bible is central to the
practice of spiritual direction, very little has been published on
how best to use it in this form of ministry. Experienced spiritual
director Liz Hoare explores the central role the Bible has played
in Christian experience, in order to discourage poor, shallow, or
rigid use of the Bible, which can lead to damage and inhibit
spiritual growth. According to Hoare, the goal of spiritual
direction is not a personal improvement plan but a people who are
being shaped into the likeness of Christ, for the flourishing of
the church as a whole. Using different methods of praying with the
Bible and drawing on historical traditions of Christian
spirituality, as well as current literature and practice, this book
offers a rich, stimulating, and thoroughly biblical resource for
all those who give and receive spiritual direction.
