There is a simplicity about this book which belies its profundity. It is a practical guide to greater spirituality, based on the life and teachings of Jesus. It recognises the immense power of thought and the benefit of meditative stillness. It also recognises out need for continual appraisal, whereby we acquire new values and increased sensitivity. Still within the Christian framework, it moves back from dogma to the simple words of Jesus, and without abstruse argument, restates His basic teaching for today's reader. For all of us there is one objective -- our growth in being -- and this is our raison d'etre.

With calm appraisal the authors -- two eminent academics -- consider the fact of man's material existence being subordinate to his spiritual, that man is primarily a spiritual being, and the far reaching implications of this difficult but important concept.

The first three chapters of this book impart a deep understanding of the spiritual significance of numbers. The rest of the book ranges widely across a vast field of perennial spiritual problems, all of them urgent today, providing a much valued textbook for all who seek to understand life's wider issues.

In attempting the hazardous task of answering those many questions about life which are often pondered but then shelved Raynor Johnson recognises that all religions gather to themselves dogmas and doctrines that often obscure the essential truth.

The purpose of this small book is to offer thinking people, who are disenchanted with the presentation of organised religion, a concise philosophy that is logical as well as being a practical structure upon which to build a worthwhile life.

First published over 50 years ago, 'The Shining Brother' remains as fresh as ever thanks to its dynamic but gentle message. It includes many scripts and messages purporting to come from St Francis with deeply interesting comments on his life in Assisi and communicated to Laurence Temple, a practising architect. Their simplicity bears the hallmark of authenticity and this is enhanced by Temple's over practicality and humility.

Her innate integrity shines through this autobiography with its totally honest self-assessment as step-by-step she unfolds the testing experiences she has undergone.
