Whelan Michael SM

In stock

"Listen with the ear of the heart." This simple yet profound phrase from St Benedict is central to the message of Michael Whelan's Friendly Guide to Prayer. His aim is to open our hearts to the Presence: "Here we are at the heart of prayer as it is understood within the Catholic Tradition. It is the way we will speak of prayer throughout this book - being present to the Presence. Our focus will therefore be primarily on attitudes and dispositions rather than specific acts and rituals. It is the prayerful person we are most interested in, rather than the person who says prayers, the prayerful life rather than the life that contains times of prayer." In this process A Friendly Guide to Prayer is gentle guide and challenging coach, encouraging the reader to broaden and deepen their prayer life, offering support and providing opportunities for experience as well as knowledge. Each chapter contains sections 'For reflection' and 'For practice' to inspire readers to make best use of the mat..

Friendly Guide To Luke's Gospel

Moran Stuart

$37.50
In stock

A Friendly Guide to Luke’s Gospel is an invitation to embark on a journey full of surprises. The author of Luke was an accomplished and sophisticated writer, with a keen sense of literary structure as well as a profound understanding of the universal nature of God’s love. For the reader who has perhaps become used to hearing gospels in Sunday fragments, Stuart Moran’s commentary encourages us to read Luke's Gospel as a whole book, seeing it as a story crafted by a master hand. For example, he shows the reader Luke’s elegant balancing of the stories about the births of both Jesus and John the Baptist: the parallels are compelling and illuminating. And Moran’s analysis of the story of the Lost Son (known of old as the Prodigal Son) shows us the heart of Luke’s insight into what Jesus was telling his disciples about God: that God loves us, even to a point that some would consider unwise. This book will be a valuable resource for anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of not just ..
