'For many generations thousands of the most gifted and exemplary human beings have been devoting all their energies of mind and body to becoming holy; on the way they have let fall many crumbs of wisdom; it is a privilege, as well as a joy, to pick up those crumbs and recycle them.'Holiness cannot be taught by any kind of trick or technique and can only be truly understood through a personally transformative process, explains theological writer and professor Donald Nicholl in this classic work, which arose first from a series of conferences that he gave to a community of Poor Clares.The Pocket Library of Spiritual Wisdom comprises some of the very best Christian writing published by Darton, Longman and Todd since its foundation in 1959.Donald Nicholl was a British historian and theologian.

Monk in the Marketplace is the autobiography of Ray Simpson, founding guardian of the Community of Aidan and Hilda, much-loved author of books on Celtic spirituality, and a major influence on the new monastic movement across the world. Ray's memoir charts human pain and God incidents in his childhood and college, baptisms of fire in industrial heartlands and multi-racial London, pioneering a Village of God at Bowthorpe, Norwich, the call to be a contemplative in the market-place and to live without a salary, his co- founding of the Community of Aidan and Hilda, and twenty years as founder of the Celtic Christianity library and Open Gate Retreat House on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne ('the spiritual capital of England'). This could become a classic 'diary of a soul' and his excursions into the Simpsons are hilarious.

As a little girl of nine, Katherine Langrish fell deeply in love with The Chronicles of Narnia - she was even inspired to write a book of stories set in that world, complete with poster-paint picture of Aslan on the homemade dust jacket.Although she loved the Narnia books to bursting, others took their place as she grew up. For years they sat unopened on her shelves. She began to wonder why. Had they simply become too familiar? Had the charm faded? What might they mean to her as an adult?From Spare Oom to War Drobe is a love letter to that early passion, as well as a reappraisal of The Chronicles of Narnia in the light of maturity and changing tastes. It brilliantly evokes her initial sense of childish wonder, and in a close reading of the novels, including analysis of the context in which other critics have placed them, she gives us a superbly rich, enlightening, and immensely readable guide to the world of these evergreen stories.

The spiritual journey can feel like a climb up a beautiful mountain that we have admired from afar. It looks easy from a distance, but the closer we approach, the harder it appears, until we are on the rockface and struggling to find our way to the top.Our journey through Lent can be a similar experience. For six weeks from Ash Wednesday, through Holy Week to Easter Sunday, Lent is a season of spiritual quest - a challenge to ascend to higher things, to come closer to God. It is a journey of hope and faith that with every step we take, we can move closer to our best - our most fully human - selves. And for this, our soul's journey, we have a guide who calls himself the Way.Soul Journey is a day-by-day companion to help you find the Way, to be revitalised and to discover fresh horizons.

It has been written both for those who regularly undertake a Lenten study and for those for whom the season is not familiar.
