What are the different ways in which Generation Y are choosing to practice spirituality in the 21st century?

The millennial generation are doing faith and spirituality differently. Many are rejecting religious institutions, and developing their own personal flexible identity from the wealth of different spiritual teachings and practices around them.

Rather than engaging with a specific religion, and the issues that religions may face, young people are prioritising social action and, informed by their own sense of spirituality and faith, are asking what we can do to build a fairer, more sustainable world.

This collection of stories and interviews explores this new landscape of spirituality and youth-led social action and show what it can teach about the evolution of faith and humanity’s changing relationship with the sacred.

NEW

A detailed account of what life is like inside prisons and detention camps, from a range of first-hand experiences spanning countries and centuries.

Bringing together a range of first-hand testimonies of captives, this personal and arresting collection provides an overview of what life inside is actually like. Drawing on memoirs of captives – including those imprisoned for stealing money, murder, illegal protest or no reason at all – this book presents the universal experience of being incarcerated and brings to life the humanity of those behind locked doors.

“This book uses the words of prisoners of all varieties – criminal, political, wartime – to give a moving flavour of life in confinement. It should be read by all those with an interest in penology, by those responsible for administering a penal system, and by those of us in whose name imprisonment is inflicted on others.”

– Professor Bill Forster

God-Curious Exploring Eternal Questions Stephen Cherry

The Moral Heart of Public Service

2017 | £8.99 | 128pp | pb | World rights available | ISBN-9781785921995 | eISBN-9781784504731

Claire Foster-Gilbert Foreword by Dean of Westminster Afterword by Stephen Lamport

Why study theology? Stephen Cherry explores what engaging with theology has to offer curious minds.

In a world where religion refuses to expire, two responses predominate. The first, to retrench within the certainties of one’s native or adopted faith, questioning nothing; the second, to sneer and snarl from the secular side-lines. Here, Stephen Cherry offers a third alternative for religious believer, agnostic, and atheist alike – to engage with the study of theology.

Drawing people at all stages of life into a more serious engagement with the riches, delights and fun of theology, it is a book for any who find themselves to be a little God-curious.

A timely challenge to revitalise the search for moral goodness in public life today.

Now more than ever, public servants must consider and reassess how to keep moral courage in public life alive. With ethical expectations and needs changing and government policies under increasing moral scrutiny, Claire Foster-Gilbert of Westminster Abbey Institute gathers a series of essays and lectures by herself and others, exploring the meaning of ‘moral code’ in today’s public service, and how it can be rekindled in practice.

Forward-thinking and authoritative, this book will be a precious resource to anyone seeking to boost the circulation of integrity throughout all aspects of public life.

“This is an unusual and original book designed to interest and encourage those thinking of studying theology or religious studies as an academic discipline – more specifically, those thinking of reading it at university. Unlike many academic subjects, Cherry argues, theology is more a matter of the questions you ask, than any traditional certainties: ‘as an enterprise [it] only makes sense if you know that you don’t know all the answers already.’ Supporting his thesis by a sweeping history of Christianity in 20 Tweets, the Dean of Kings College, Cambridge, gives an interesting and thoughtful introduction to a subject that has increasingly come to fascinate him the more he has studied it.”

“We live in an age when noisy moralism is everywhere, and the news and social media have invaded the pulpit. Quiet reflection on moral truth, however, and the noble sobriety of public administration, have become under-valued virtues. All power to a book like this in redressing that imbalance.”

A call to change the world through political activism and spirituality.

Across the world, grassroots movements for change are growing in number, skill, and impact on society.

Finding a place at the intersect between spirituality and politics, these emerging activists are grounded in a deeper understanding of the world they wish to change, and act out of a deep sense that their simple acts can make a difference. With moving first-hand accounts, priest and community organiser Keith Hebden demonstrates what it means to be an engaged and alive human being in a world that is crying out for change, and how to play our part in it.

Challenging our ideas about forgiveness.

What is forgiveness? Are some acts unforgivable? Can forgiveness take the place of revenge?

Powerful real-life stories from survivors and perpetrators of crime and violence reveal the true impact of forgiveness on ordinary people worldwide. Exploring forgiveness as an alternative to resentment or retaliation, the storytellers give an honest, moving account of their experiences and what part forgiveness has played in their lives. Despite extreme circumstances, their stories open the door to a society without revenge.

All royalties from the sale of this book go to The Forgiveness Project charity.

“Keith Hebden’s book is a clear and inspiring call to getting involved and engagement, it deserves to be read and valued by those of all faiths. A rallying call to direct and transformative spiritual action.”

“This reassuring and uplifting book testifies to the truth of forgiveness – freestanding, not dependent upon faith, but upon humanity. It is both provocative and full of hope.”

Sceptical Christianity

A Matter of Life and Death

Exploring Credible Belief Robert Reiss

60 Voices Share their Wisdom Rosalind Bradley

2016 | £8.99 | 188pp | pb | World rights available | ISBN-9781785920622 | eISBN-9781784503185

Foreword by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu

Shows how Christianity can be intellectually credible and what can reasonably be believed.

How can Christianity remain a credible religion in our current era of scepticism? Reviving the debates begun by John Robinson and the demythologisation movement over half a century ago, ‘Sceptical Christianity’ considers the main reasons behind people’s religious scepticism and posits the question: what can be plausibly believed today?

Reiss discusses issues of such as the relationship between religion and science and assisted dying, much debated among people of faith and no faith, and shows how they can be thought of in the best tradition of sceptical and critical Christianity. The result is a thought provoking book which sparks discussion on how the Church should behave and teach to retain its credibility.

2016 | £9.99 | 232pp | pb | World rights available | ISBN-9781849056014 | eISBN-9781784502836

People from all walks of life share their insights and wisdom about death and dying.

A Holocaust survivor whose mother collapsed and died only moments after they both registered as survivors, a death row inmate who has reclaimed his life through Buddhism, and a mother whose daughter was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer two days before her thirtieth birthday, among others, offer their perspectives on death and dying in this thought-provoking volume. Contributors from all walks of life share their thoughts on carefully selected writings, images and artwork that most accurately express death to them. Describing their unique experiences, they reveal that, beyond the heartache and the mystery, death teaches us all invaluable lessons about how we live our lives.

“A powerful book on the truth of our mortality, and the richness that can be derived from our encounter with death.”

– Roshi Joan Halifax, Abbot, Upaya Zen Center

SMART THINKING Towards Better Disagreement

Crafting Secular Ritual

Religion and Atheism in Dialogue Paul Hedges

A Practical Guide Jeltje Gordon-Lennox

2016 | £9.99 | 200pp | pb | World rights available | ISBN-9781785920578 | eISBN-9781784503161

Foreword by Isabel Russo 2016 | £12.99 | 176pp | pb | World rights available | ISBN-9781785920882 | eISBN-9781784503505

Advocating for constructive dialogue between religion and atheism.

Are atheists immoral? Does religion cause conflict? Is religion always opposed to science?

Boldly paving the way for constructive dialogue between atheists and religious believers, Paul Hedges tackles issues such as the treatment of women, the idea of a pure and empirical realm of ‘science’, and the association of religion with violence and warfare, debunking the myths and exposing the futility of the battle between ‘reason’ and ‘belief’.

A unique, hands-on guide to the craft of ritual making.

Answering the call for new rituals in our secular age, this book recognises the essential importance of rituals to the psychological, physical and spiritual health of individuals, families, organisations, and society as a whole. The book examines and explains the history, function and place of emerging rituals in different cultures, as well as providing practical guidance for creating your own secular rituals. Includes examples, risk factors and checklists for the stages of planning new rituals for life events such as birth, marriage, and death, as well as for public occasions such as graduation and protest marches.

“Judicious, informed, and fair – Paul Hedges doesn’t simply compare and contrast the different worldview of atheists and believers, but goes behind them. Taking all the major religions into account, Hedges creates a map of areas of analysis that illuminates and clarifies the debates. It is a compelling tour de force.

In this book, Hedges becomes the sage guide that our polarized age desperately needs.”

“This practical handbook will be enormously helpful to all those interested in carving out unique, meaningful, relevant, and profound secular rituals for life events of all kinds.”

– Lindy Mechefske, journalist and author of ‘Sir John’s Table’ and ‘A Taste of Wintergreen’

– The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, PhD, Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary, Professor of Theology and Ethics and author of Against Atheism

A thoughtful and practical guide to the ethical dilemmas encountered by healthcare chaplains.

This textbook untangles the complicated ethical dilemmas that arise during the day-to-day work of healthcare chaplaincy, and offers a sturdy but flexible framework which chaplains can use to reflect on their own practice.

Tackling essential issues such as consent, life support, abortion, beginning and end of life and human dignity, it enables chaplains to tease out the ethical implications of situations they encounter, to educate themselves on relevant legal matters and to engage with different ethical viewpoints.

Clear, sensitive and user-friendly, this will be an indispensable resource for healthcare chaplains and all healthcare professionals interested in spiritual care.

An exploration of the importance of ritual in a secular world.

The growing absence of meaningful ritual in contemporary Western societies has led to cohesive research on the history of ritualizing behaviour in different cultures. The relatively new field of ritology, which includes neuroscience, anthropology, cultural psychology, psychotherapy and even art and performance, raises questions about the significance and practice of ritual today. This book is the first of its kind to discuss the importance of secular rituals for cultural and personal growth.

“A timely addition to the scholarship of sociology and culture, and indeed, to sociology of religion as well. Often overlooked by those who equate ritual with religion, the authors of this book provide rich descriptions of how secular rituals bind communities together and create meaning for groups and individuals.”

“A wonderfully clear example of applied ethics, very much written with the working Chaplain in mind. I expect we will see a copy on the shelves of most acute Chaplaincy Departments, and I would specifically commend to those from a Christian tradition considering Chaplaincy as a vocation to read cover to cover. All in all, a real contribution to our Chaplaincy toolkit.”

A short book on how spiritual care can initiate and cultivate hope at end of life.

Hope is a central topic in spiritual care.

This short book explores what hope can mean for patients who are at the end of life, beyond hoping that a treatment will be effective. It suggests ways in which creative spiritual care can enable patients and those who care for them to develop different kinds of hope and move past despair.

The author identifies four dimensions of hope and suggests ways in they can be nurtured and cultivated through theological reflection, connectivity, meditation and the arts. These dimensions of hope provide a framework for thorough spiritual assessment and for the development of a plan of care. In turn, being prepared for death removes feelings of hopelessness and despair.

This book will inspire new ways to feed the human spirit when a cure is no longer an option.

How to Be an Even Better Listener

NEW

How to help senior adults feel prepared for death before they start to approach it, by strengthening relationships with loved ones.

Presenting clergy and chaplains with unique therapeutic tools for helping senior adults enrich their later years, this book gives advice on how to strengthen relationships, find meaning in life and feel comfortable approaching life’s final chapter.

It guides clergy and chaplains through how to effectively conduct “Soul Legacy” projects, in which older people reflect on what they want to leave behind for their loved ones and how they want to be remembered after they die. It enables older people to pay loved ones personal tributes and show them how important they are. By focusing on others rather than the self, it provides comfort for loved ones as well as the senior adult, prevents loneliness and negative feelings about ageing, and helps adults gradually become comfortable with the challenges of approaching the end of life.

NEW

“I commend this book as such a helpful book for clergy and chaplains. Fred writes with typical honesty, insight and sensitivity as he recalls real stories and the impact they have clearly had on his life. I believe this book to be a seriously helpful tool in helping people to die as well as they can, leaving a healthy legacy and blessing in the lives of loved ones and friends who remain.”

A guide for hospice and palliative care volunteers to develop their communication and listening skills during end-of-life work.

Providing guidance and advice on the challenging art of listening, this book responds directly to the expressed learning needs of hospice and palliative care volunteers regarding their communication skills in end-of-life care.

With personal reflections on being listened to, the guide includes strategies for becoming a more effective listener, as well as exploring the challenges of listening, the need for self-care and spiritual and ethical considerations. By expanding their own capacity for empathy, compassion and understanding the wider narrative of illness, hospice and palliative care volunteers will become even better listeners in their essential roles.

A thoughtful examination of the roles played by chaplaincy and spiritual care in hospices.

Hospice chaplains have traditionally played a unique part in palliative care, providing human compassion and support to help ease life’s final chapter. This book thoughtfully tackles the question at the heart of modern hospice chaplaincy: do chaplains have a distinctive role in an increasingly secular society?

A comprehensive look at why and how this work needs to be done, each chapter will be a rich resource for hospice chaplains and anyone working within a hospice multi-disciplinary team.

Taking the form of reflections by chaplains and other professionals, they examine the tension between sacred and secular space, explore how spiritual care works in a changing society, and look at what voice a chaplain has within the hospice team.

“In what is an increasingly professionalized world, this practical guide is a rare thing: a book written to upskill volunteers which also acknowledges the vital contribution they make within modern healthcare. Delivering straightforward advice is an accessible style, Robert Mundle demonstrates how ‘just’ listening is never just listening; it is vital to any good healthcare.”

Creative reflection on the work chaplains do with people who are dying and the unique quality of the relationship that palliative care professionals construct with patients at the end of life.

It explores the nature of hope when faced with the inevitable and develops a theory of spiritual care rooted in relationship that has implications for all healthcare professionals.

A contemporary guide to discussing existential issues of death and dying in spiritual care.

Talking about dying and death can be difficult for those facing the end of life.

A sensitive and compassionate exploration of the spiritual issues surrounding death and dying.

This sensitive and compassionate book provides older people who are nearing the end of life and their loved ones, as well as the professionals who work with them, with a greater depth of understanding of spiritual issues surrounding death and dying.

Shows the difference multifaith workplace chaplaincies can create in business communities.

As the global marketplace grows and becomes more complex, increasing stress is placed upon employees. Businesses are acknowledging this change in work habits by adapting the work place to offer support through multifaith chaplaincy. Multifaith chaplaincy is based on developing relationships of trust between diverse faith communities and the public workplace. Through the experience of starting the first multifaith chaplaincy in Canary Wharf, the author offers insights into current conditions and challenges of chaplaincy in the business community.

“Death is not an enemy or even something that necessarily has to be feared. Rather, death is a meaningful movement towards a positive goal. Religion and spirituality are vital aspects for the achievement of such a goal. This book helps us all to see death and dying differently and in seeing these things differently, we can learn to practise more compassionately.”

“A uniquely rich source of guidance for those on the journey to recognise and integrate faith more fully as a key ingredient in our working lives and in our capacity to contribute to society.”

An indispensable introduction to the field of pastoral care in multicultural environments.

The meaning of pastoral care in modern multicultural societies is challenged and re-examined from a pluralistic, global perspective in this book. Emmanuel Lartey stresses the importance of recognizing different cultural influences on individuals in order to effectively counsel, guide and empower them. He provides a clear and concise history of pastoral care and considers its relationship to different models of counseling and spirituality.

A theological exploration of the growing ministry of chaplaincy.

Chaplaincy is a rapidly growing ministry, but one that has been the centre of little theological discussion. Focusing on understanding what chaplaincy is and how it is exercised in different contexts, this book intends to support the work of chaplains by providing a theological examination of their ministry.

“This excellent and varied collection of essays confirms chaplaincy studies’ place at the vanguard of practical and public theology. In affirming the mission of God as beginning in the world beyond the church, it challenges us, in turn, to become a more worldly church through the practices of discernment, participation and witness.”

Foreword by Marcus Braybrooke

An insightful collection of interviews with over 100 Muslims on a range of topics, to raise awareness and greater understanding of Islam.

Raising awareness of what Islam is, as well as deepening understanding about the lived realities of Muslim people, this book explores the contemporary Muslim experience through first-hand interviews with over a hundred Muslims.

Exploring key issues such as women and Islam, extremism and radicalisation, Sharia Law, homosexuality and Islamophobia, the book looks deep into what it means to be Muslim today.

The ‘voices’ of Muslims are showcased throughout the book to highlight the diversity and evolution of Islam, and to show its inherent complexities and contradictions. This is an easy and accessible introduction to Islam combined with discussion surrounding several contentious issues associated with the religion.

A contemporary exploration of theological, political and social teachings in the Torah, Bible and Qu’ran.

What is the role of scripture in illuminating the lives of the faithful today? In this book, three experts in Judaism, Christianity and Islam respectively discuss and debate this question, by exploring the core messages of the Torah, Bible and Qu’ran. Taking a deeper look at the wide range of theological, political and social issues that divide (and sometimes unite) their religions, they reveal how inspiration and guidance can be drawn not only on life’s big questions such as sin and the afterlife, but also on societal issues including war, suffering, marriage and justice.

“The book offers a useful trialogue between the authors – as well as between the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Bible and the Quran – concerning the views of these three scriptures on a variety of topics, from creation to afterlife, and from land to God. It not only offers the readers a glimpse into each scripture, but also a background for understanding the differences and similarities between the three scriptures, and the religions which they represent.”

“How do Asians in Britain feel about life and their religion? Declan Henry has fluently revealed their wide ranging views with great competence and skill. This is an intriguing perspective seen through the eyes of an emergent and important section of our community. Definitely a work of lasting value.”

An original theological reflection on the nature of human waking and sleeping in relation to God. Sleep is a profoundly theological concern. A multitude of biblical sources and images of sleep open up themes around mortality, resurrection and eschatology, and healing.

Thought-provoking and creative, Theosomnia examines the nature of sleep through the lens of Christian theology.

Exploration of how the partition of India has affected relationships between Islam and Hinduism.

In 1947, the partition of India cast silent injustice over the nation. Delving into the fascinating and often controversial theme of interfaith dialogue, Mario I.

“The author provides us with a treasure trove of biblical and Christian thought, together with much original thinking, which illuminate, challenge and inspire. I commend it very highly.”

Makes the case for pastoral care in a mission-minded church.

Using musical analogies, Gregory Clifton Smith explores the role of pastoral care, both from the point of view of performance and of music as a different form of engaging with life in extreme situations, such as war. Through the prism of music, he demonstrates the ongoing importance of pastoral care in religious communities.

Science-based comic exploring the psychology of the human capacity to forgive and the effects of forgiveness.

What is forgiveness? What enables people to forgive? Why do we even choose to forgive those who have harmed us? What can the latest psychological research tell us about the nature of forgiveness, its benefits and risks?

This imaginative comic explores the key aspects of forgiveness, asking what it means to forgive and to be forgiven. Witty and intelligent, it answers questions about the health benefits and restorative potential of forgiveness and explains, in easy-to-understand terms, what happens in our brains, bodies and communities when we choose to forgive.

A science-based graphic medicine comic explaining anxiety and how to manage it.

This science-based graphic book addresses these questions and more, revealing just how strange anxiety is, but also how to unravel its mysteries and relieve its effects.

Understanding how anxiety is created by our nervous system trying to protect us, and how our fight-or-flight mechanisms can get stuck, can significantly lessen the fear experienced during anxiety attacks. In this guide, anxiety is explained in an easy-to-understand, engaging graphic format with tips and strategies to relieve its symptoms, and change the mind’s habits for a more positive outlook.

“This book on forgiveness won’t bully you, but it will make you think. And it might just change your life for ever. I loved it.”

“For many of us, anxiety and fear are daily visitors to the mind and body – in this brilliant book, Steve Haines gives us freeing tools to unmask these feelings, and possibly even reduce the causes. What he offers is apparently simple yet full of depth, with a touch of light-heartedness.”

Pain is Really Strange Steve Haines

A science-based medical graphic book explaining trauma, its effects on our psychology and physiology, and what to do about it.

What is trauma? How does it change the way our brains work? And how can we overcome it?

When something traumatic happens to us, we dissociate and our bodies shut down their normal processes. This unique comic explains the strange nature of trauma and how it confuses the brain and affects the body. With wonderful artwork, cat and mouse metaphors, essential scientific facts, and a healthy dose of wit, the narrator reveals how trauma resolution involves changing the body’s physiology and describes techniques that can achieve this, including Trauma Releasing Exercises that allow the body to shake away tension, safely releasing deep muscular patterns of stress and trauma.

Reveals how psychiatric medication can impact spirituality.

Based on interviews with people on psychiatric medication who deem spirituality to be important in their lives, this book uncovers the relationship between psychopharmacology and spirituality. In doing so, it presents a challenge to the purely medical approach to mental health and wellbeing.

Revealing a tension between the medical model of depression and the very different language of theology, this book explores how religious people and communities understand severe sadness, their coping mechanisms and their help-seeking behaviours.

An insightful read for anyone with an interest in theology or mental health, including clergy, psychiatrists and psychologists.

An account of family life 15 years on from a partner and father’s suicide.

“Jon, my husband, took his own life at the age of 35. He left for work at 7.30, as usual. He kissed me, and our two children, as usual. He told me he loved me, which was not usual, but that didn’t occur to me until later.”

Sue Henderson candidly recounts the experience of raising her family as a single parent survivor of suicide. Alongside an honest and moving account of the day-to-day practicalities and emotional impact of Jon’s death, there’s advice on how to talk to children about death and suicide, how to support them as they grow up, and how to be aware of the heightened emotional risks for bereaved children.

Clear, creative guidance on how to process grief and pain in a positive, transformative way.

This is a practical guide to help readers work through their grief via expressive therapies and activities, based on the techniques Claudia Coenen honed as a professional counselor after the unexpected loss of her husband.

Eschewing the idea of a ‘quick-fix’ to grief, it suggests ways in which tragedy and loss can be a springboard for rejuvenation and transformation.

“They say if you’re going through hell, keep going. Claudia Coenen is a wise and compassionate guide through the hell of deep loss, a place she knows well. Shattered by Grief offers a compelling personal story, helpful advice, and kind companionship for navigating the grief journey. Highly recommended.”

“This book is not another self-help manual ... it’s a warm embrace from a kind friend: you will feel its arms come around you offering comfort, support and, above all, understanding.”
