Personal Growth
We are all on a personal inner journey. We all suffer bereavement, loss, and emotional suffering. We all grow in love and understanding through our relationships – with our families, partners, friends and neighbours. Our books do not pretend to make life’s problems disappear, but they do offer comfort, wisdom and practical advice.
Michael Campbell-Johnston
We all need to make a retreat. To find a few moments in our busy lives to try to stop worrying and fretting about so many different things, and to sit in silence at God’s feet and just to listen. A retreat is simply an attempt to see beyond the 101 cares and occupations we normally have and to ask ourselves, ‘Where it is all leading? What’s the purpose of it all?’ Time to Change takes the basic format and principles of The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius and allows us to make a retreat without interrupting too much your ordinary daily life and all the things you have to do.

The world glorifies youth and degrades old age. The Gift of Years flies in the face of this conventional wisdom. It is a wonderful celebration of the blessings of growing older, clear-eyed and unsentimental about the reality of the ageing process but showing us that our later years are gift, not burden. It is time for us, Joan Chittister says, to let go of both our fantasies of eternal youth and our fears of getting older.
Broken your New Year’s resolutions?
Using our failures rather than ignoring them, Peter Shaw draws on Christian traditions and his experience as a life coach to create a spiritually sound strategy for moving forwards.
Why are we so afraid of failure? Why has it become something that we ignore and distance ourselves from as quickly as possible, rather than accepting it as part of our life experience, and something that we can build on?
In this self-help book with a difference, executive life coach Peter Shaw takes failure as a starting point and shows how we can use it to find new beginnings.
Using his extensive experience, powerful images and stories from Christian traditions, real-life examples and inspirational quotes from a huge variety of sources, Shaw equips the reader with the tools for finding their future - again.
This book is a practical resource for anyone looking at where they are now, and thinking again about where they want to go.
