ALL THAT MATTERS
Collected Scripts From Radio 4's Thought for The Day
Volume 2
John L. Bell
This is the second volume of John L. Bell’s ‘Thoughts For The Day’, augmented by three extended essays, ‘Indebting the future’, ‘The love of God and global warming’ and ‘The beast that is in us’.
For seven years, John has been a contributor to Radio 4’s TftD, attempting – as the project demands – to offer a religious perspective on matters of current social and international importance. Sometimes affirming, sometimes controversial but always contemporary, these short reflections represent the prickly interface between faith and politics from the perspective of a Christian believer. Book: 10.99
50 GREAT PRAYERS FROM THE IONA COMMUNITY, Neil Paynter (Editor) is a handy wee pocketbook-sized title. It contains (not surprisingly as the title suggests) fifty of the best-loved prayers of the Iona Community in a portable edition. Prayers by Kathy Galloway, Ruth Burgess, the Wild Goose Resource Group, George MacLeod, Kate Mcllhagga, Peter Millar, Jan Sutch Pickard, Joy Mead, Ali Newell, Chris Polhill, Ian M. Fraser and others. A book that is sure to become dog-eared through use in worship, or from being carried around on the often bumpy, sometimes tranquil ride of life. Book: £8.99.
A new, up-to-date edition of
IONA: GOD’S ENERGY:
The vision and spirituality of the Iona Community by Norman Shanks. This is an outstanding introduction and guide to the spirituality, concerns and activities of the Iona Community, by a former Leader of the Community. A new chapter has been added to bring the book up to date. What is it that interests so many people in the work of the Iona Community and draws thousands of visitors each year to the tiny island of Iona? Apart from its magical beauty and sense of timelessness, one reason is to imbibe the spirituality of the Community. Norman Shanks shows how the Community, in its work on Iona and elsewhere, has developed an integrated vision which is rooted in everyday living. It is committed to peace-making and action on social issues; the breaking down of barriers between those of different faiths and styles of faith; and the development of new, relevant ways to worship. Book: £10.99.
