“There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now” — Meister Eckhart In this quietly powerful companion for the year, the timeless wisdom of Meister Eckhart is brought to life in 52 short readings - one for each week - each paired with a gentle reflection and a prayer. Eckhart, a 13th-century mystic and preacher, invites us beyond words and concepts into the living presence of the Divine. His insights are startlingly fresh, offering depth, clarity and a spaciousness of soul in the midst of everyday life. Whether you are new to Eckhart or returning to his words with deeper questions, The Ground of the Soul is an invitation to a weekly rhythm of slowing down, listening inwardly and dwelling in the still centre where God and soul meet. This is an ideal companion for seekers, meditators and those longing for a more rooted spiritual rhythm.

When Rebecca Stephens first formed her goal of climbing Everest she was a young journalist with hardly any climbing experience, but with a strong vision and limitless determination to achieve her dream. It was a highly ambitious goal for such an inexperienced climber. Yet only four years on, she became the first British woman to climb the highest mountain in the world. That achievement led directly to her second great ambition: to be the first British woman to climb the Seven Summits, the tallest peak on each of the world's seven continents. In this inspiring book, Rebecca Stephens and management guru Robert Heller join forces to explore the mental skills, practical abilities and psychological powers that enabled her to achieve her dream. Whatever your personal ambition may be, the lessons of this unique book will lead you to identify, master and scale your own individual heights.
