| Description: |
Ray Simpson explores The Way, a timeless spiritual path shared across the world's wisdom traditions and urgently needed today. Addressing the moral and spiritual roots of global crises, it resonates with the Tao, the Buddhist Eightfold Path, Islamic practice, Indigenous traditions of harmony, and above all with the teachings of Jesus who declared "I AM the Way" (Jn 14:6) and whose first disciples were known as "followers of The Way" and based on Jesus' Beatitudes (Mt 5-7).
The book introduces a vision of new monasticism: a practical, disciplined way of life grounded in compassion, justice, and simplicity, open to anyone seeking depth and meaning in everyday life. Written as a reflective commentary on a lived Rule of Life shaped over decades, it offers both spiritual insight and practical guidance for navigating the modern world with integrity and hope. |

| Description: |
Novelist, poet, and essayist Paul Kingsnorth presents an original account of the technological-cultural matrix enveloping all of us. With insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long game-and how your very soul is at stake.
It takes effort to remain truly human in the age of the Machine. Here Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires, a healthy suspicion of entrenched power; connection to land, nature and heritage; and a deep attention to matters of the spirit. Prophetic and poetic, Against the Machine is a spiritual manual for dissidents in the technological age. |

| Description: |
Thomas Santa CSsR explores the key experiences and 'connecting points' people encounter as they move along their own spiritual journeys. The book is not limited to a single tradition, it addresses both those deeply involved in religious practice and those whose spirituality is not defined by structured religion. Through these shared elements of spiritual experience, the author describes how individuals can grow in contemplative living. This heightened awareness, understood as a gift of grace, can transform how people engage with life and foster deeper spiritual maturity.
Santa draws on his long experience as a Catholic priest, spiritual director, and retreat leader to offer insights that bridge personal spirituality and religious context, helping readers appreciate how contemplative awareness can deepen their life and faith journey. |

Longing for God "like a dry, weary land without water" - Psalm 62
Continuing his reflection on the spirituality of ageing, Brian Gallagher adds new and deeper intuitions: seeing life differently, forgiving others, and thanking people we have forgotten. These new insights do not ignore the diminishment of old age, but simply cast new light on the joy experienced.
Writing from his own experience, but helped by C. S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy, Brian talks of both the work and the blessing of old age. He concludes that the blessing of ageing is not the younger person's felt joy, but is on a deeper level than any emotion, the fruit of deep freedom. Brian calls it simply "joy", his personal vocation. |

| Description: |
Economic justice is the core of the biblical tradition. Horsley examines how Jesus' economic project was shaped in opposition to the Roman imperial order and how Paul's development of communities around the Mediterranean was part of creating an alternative society among those subject to Rome. This analysis sets in the foreground the fundamental issues of food security, access to resources, and liberation.
These movements emerged in opposition to Roman violence, political oppression, and economic extraction. This ultimately leads the author to consider how these issues are more relevant than ever in confronting the most recent form of empire in global capitalism. While we are not living in a Roman imperial world, we must strategise to confront the ways in which the new empire uses violence, oppression, and extraction to the detriment of the vast majority in the world, but especially those who are most vulnerable. |

| Description: |
What if one day of rest could transform your entire life?
One of the most important biblical mandates, so significant that it numbers among the Ten Commandments, is the directive to observe a weekly day of rest. The Shabbat Effect illuminates how the practice of a day set aside for rest brings about a deep, lasting, and pervasive transformation of character, not just on that seventh day but every day. Drawing on venerable Jewish sources as well as the experiences of contemporary practitioners, this user-friendly and accessible guide explores the eight essential traits that reflect the true meaning of Shabbat.
Rooted in the 1,100-year-old Jewish tradition of Mussar as well as the experiences of contemporary practitioners, this book offers a radical and moving exploration of how the practice of Shabbat enhances and refines core traits of character. Readers will find that it contributes immeasurably to their enjoyment of life, as well as helping them fulfill their highest human potential. |
