Turned By Divine Love

This book, the fruit of prayer, theological reflection and rich human experience, evokes fresh praying and thinking about all the key relationships in our lives, beginning with God. Drawing on the rich Christian traditions of both east and west, it speaks of theology and spirituality, to the head and the heart. It is a book of hope, encouraging us all to make a fresh start with God and, entering more fully into the relationship of love to which he invites us, to go out and to witness to this love. In this unique bringing together of the riches of the Christian east and west is the call to hear God's gracious voice today. This is a spirituality book which urges contemplation, stillness and a good, hard look at ourselves. The author draws on quotes from many different church traditions (eastern and western) to show that this is a global, biblical call rather than a cultural one. Each chapter has multiple spaces devoted to contemplation - 'Pause to pray' and 'Pause to ponder'. These can be made much of and give weight to the book's focus on stillness and the examination of your heart. Drawing inspiration and quotations from all walks of the Christian life, from all centuries, also gives it a truly ecumenical feel and approach - this is for everyone.
