| Description: |
Beyond occasional synods or specific practices, this book presents a vision of a Church that is synodal by nature. Rooted in baptism and the identity of the people of God before distinctions of laity and clergy, the Church's synodality flows from its missionary calling. A truly synodal Church is not self-referential but oriented toward proclaiming God's saving mercy to a world longing for hope and healing.
Describing the Church as a pilgrim people, the book portrays synodality as a shared journey shaped by dialogue, conversion, and co-responsibility. The path unfolds gradually, guided by the wisdom of the whole community and adapted to diverse local contexts. At the same time, communion and unity require structures that sustain connection across a decentralized Church. Structural reform, including renewed synodal practices, ultimately serves the Church's communion and mission.
Drawing on the experiences of Anglicans and Lutherans, the book commends receptive ecumenism as a way forward for Catholic renewal. |

| Description: |
The authors have drawn inspiration from the teachings of Pope Francis in a picture book that encourages young people to share their creative gifts.
The text urges children not to keep their 'light' to themselves, but to give it freely to foster happiness: 'So,what are your gifts and how will you share them? The world is waiting.?'
Although the linework is simple, the characters spring to life reminiscent of Quentin Blake's work.

| Description: |
In Sabbath, Wayne Muller reclaims the ancient tradition of Sabbath as a remedy for today's relentless pace of productivity and success. While modern life leaves us exhausted and disconnected, Muller invites us to rediscover a healing rhythm of work and rest.
Sabbath need not be a full day; it can be an afternoon, an hour, or even a quiet walk. Through stories, poems, and simple practices, Muller shows how intentional times of sacred rest can renew body and mind, restore creativity, deepen relationships, and recover a sense of inner joy.
This gentle, practical guide offers a path toward balance, reminding us that rest is not a luxury but a birthright essential to a whole and meaningful life. |

| Description: |
Anne Kertz Kernion draws on contemporary neuroscience, spiritual wisdom, and her own lived experience to show how true flourishing arises when we intentionally nurture four essential dimensions of life: beliefs, body, brain, and bonds.
An integrative framework honours the full complexity of being human. What may seem fragmented "our thoughts, actions, relationships, and convictions" are revealed as deeply interconnected threads shaping our well-being.
Through guided reflection and practical insights, we learn to examine the beliefs that give life meaning, practice embodied awareness, cultivate clearer and more compassionate thinking, and strengthen relationships.
This is a thoughtful companion for anyone seeking greater wholeness, health, and joy. |

GERHARD LOHFINK, LINDA MALONEY (TRANS) |
| ISBN-13: |

| Description: |
Scripture scholar Gerhard Lohfink brings the origins and progress of enlightenment to the forefront of Christian faith.
The history of the European Enlightenment did not begin in the seventeenth century. It started in Greece (something no one doubts), and it began with stories about Abraham and Israel's exodus from Egypt (something many do not know or disregard). Gerhard Lohfink shows the degree to which the Old Testament already affords enlightenment, and how that work of enlightenment was continued and deepened by Jesus and the church.
Based on this Jewish-Christian history of enlightenment, what is at issue is the rationality of faith, something that is increasingly the subject of debate today. The description here is not intended to deny the mystery of faith; rather, it is meant to illuminate its rationality. |

| Description: |
How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today.
The prophets' writings reflect the full spectrum of human maturity. In almost every case, their initial rage and their accusatory words evolve into a profound pathos and lamentation about our shared human condition and the world's suffering.
Drawing on a century of biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared Rohr to millions, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom. It paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a compassionate way of living in a hurting world. |

| Description: |
The subtitle of Maggie Ross's book captures its essence, for it is about silence and our need to behold God.
We are invited into a silence that is not necessarily an absence of noise but is a limitless interior space.
Ancient texts are used in new ways, and many of our worship practices are challenged.
She is in no doubt that "the glory of the human being is the beholding of God" - adapted from a review in The Church Times (London) by Canon David Adam. |
