Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Haskell was born in 1931, and lives in south-east London. He obtained first class honours in Classics and English from Cambridge University, and an MA in Christian Spirituality from Heythrop College. Most of his working life has been spent in teaching. His first book, The Pursuit of Holiness, available from St Pauls Publishing, appeared in 2016 with an introduction by Rowan Williams, who wrote "This is a really unusual work of profound pastoral theology, coming out of a deep contemplative encounter with God in Christ...I have found it a treasure of wisdom and insight." In the present work Haskell considers the main aspects of Christian spirituality. The book is addressed particularly to lay people, whom he thinks just as capable of reaching perfection as the great names of the past. But the way for them lies not through the time-honoured paths of prayer, but through a total dedication to charity. The book is available from Amazon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this very personal book, W. Paul Jones sees the diverse experience of individuals as the backbone of spirituality, and claims that the Trinity affirms a rich diversity within God and within God's way of relating to the world. He considers each Person of the Trinity as being involved in each "function" of God--as creator, redeemer and sanctifier--and arrives at nine dimensions of God's life that invite a response. Jones develops each of the nine dimensions with an extended meditation, followed by a series of practical and creative spiritual exercises.
