Book Corner

SPCK have a variety of new titles just released or soon to be released. My suggestions are taken from the SPCK booklet detailing new and forthcoming titles, Summer to Autumn 2007.

Praying With the Bible by Philip Law.

The Bible is for everyone, and Praying With the Bible is for everyone who wants to live in deeper and more prayerful harmony with God’s Word. This is a book worth turning to again and again. Keep it next to your Bible, and listen to the still, small voice of God breathing through it every day.

Spiritual Direction for Every Christian by Gordon Jeff.

For many years spiritual direction was regarded as an elitist activity designed for the benefit of the clergy and a few especially devout laity. Gordon Jeff presents an alternative to that view, arguing that spiritual direction is a benefit, which every Christian can enjoy.

The Use of Symbols in Worship (Alcuin Liturgy Guides). Edited by Christopher Irvine.

Common Worship allows and encourages the use of symbols in worship. Individual chapters look at the use of a particular element or symbol in a range of different services, and suggest imaginative ways in which these symbols might become more visible and handled in ways that might allow them to ‘speak’.
