| Description: |
This book is a revealing portrait of Pope Francis's hopeful yet controversial efforts to recreate the Catholic Church as a welcoming place of empathy, love and inclusiveness.
Cornwell argues that despite fierce opposition Pope Francis has radically widened Catholic moral priorities, calling for mercy and compassion over rigid dogmatism.
“The discouraged, the disillusioned and marginalised are at the center of Francis’s pontificate and it is from their key perspectives that Cornwell’s Church Interrupted interprets this moment of hope in the life of the Catholic Church.”
Massimo Faggioli, Villanova University Professor of Theology and Religious Studies and author of The Liminal Papacy of Pope Francis |

Either way it calms our spirits, stirs our insights and puts light on our path.” Sister Simone Campbell, author Hunger for Hope
Anabel Laity introduces the principles and practice of mindfulness and presents parallels between Zen and the teachings of Jesus, how it is possible to be at home in more than one spiritual practice. |

The book brings lectio divina alive with a series of inspiring and thought provoking explorations of 2 Isaiah 40-55: consolation, transcendence, servanthood, glory, sin, compassion, awake!, and deliverance—how they are intertwined, how they build a complex and reassuring message of hope and how they are as relevant today as they were originally.
… In eight gentle, accessible vignettes, Casey considers central themes of Isaiah that yield resources for the sustenance of life and faith.” Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary

| Description: |
'…Writing a book about something essentially ungraspable is a very bold decision, but thanks to her journalistic method and assured style, Jackman has pulled it off. A counterintuitive modern odyssey in which the heroine sets out from a land of deafening overplenty in search of ... less. Beautifully researched.' - ANNABEL CRABB
Turning Down the Noise follows Jackman’s journey as she explores what is happening to our brains, our lives and our communities as we navigate a never-ending assault on our senses and attention, whether from actual noise, exposure to media or the pings and alerts on our phones.
Importantly, she reveals how we can reverse the damage through simple daily acts designed to strip out the stimuli and reclaim the silence. |
