Vision Upon Vision (George Guiver CR: 2009) [VV] £21.99
Press comment on this latest publication by the Superior of CR includes: As in Company of Voices, George Guiver's expertise is as a forensic detective, tracing the default practices and customs of ordinary people going about their prayers in church and alone, a vast body of liturgical DNA. He provides us with tools with which to uncover more of our past and examine a range of assumptions and presuppositions about worship today.
A Week of Simple Offices (2000) [SO-W] £4.60
In this pressured life, it is good to find time to pray with a simple office based upon the daily prayer of a living community. The week of simple offices is the ideal way to find a few minutes with God.
Contains: Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, Night Prayer, and spiritual exercises - everything required in a single book. It is an ideal introduction to the discipline of daily prayer and perfect for use whilst travelling.
Saints and Seasons (2001) [SO-SS] £5.10
Saints and seasons are celebrated with psalms, canticles, readings and hymns used by the Community of the Resurrection in its daily Office. This collection of simple offices for Morning and Evening Prayer complements "A week of simple offices".

NEW SERIES: MONASTIC WISDOM BOOKLETS
This series of booklets is intended for any reader seeking insight into their own life from the monastic tradition. The first title is now available:
Being Good (Amos Schmidt OSB): central themes in the Rule of St Benedict £2.50
Anglican Religious Life (edited Nicolas Stebbing CR) £11.50
These essays portray the recovery of religious life within the Anglican tradition as a gift from God, and also recognise that religious communities have entered a time of searching and revision. The writers believe that religious life is a faith-guided venture into the unknown. They also believe that, when it becomes secure and part of the institution, it is a valued gift within the Church.
Confessing our Sins (Nicolas Stebbing CR: 2002) [COS] £4.10
In the western and eastern Churches the sacrament of confession has always been a central part of the serious Christian life. At first sight confession may seem a very gloomy or miserable sacrament. In fact it isn't. It deals with some very sad material and for that reason it is necessary to look to the past. But the purpose is to free us from the evil of the past and turn us towards the future. It opens us up to experiencing the Resurrection of Christ. It shows us still more about the wonderful God we have who takes such care of us and showers us with gifts of love as soon as we give him the chance.
Everyday God (George Guiver CR: 1994) [EG] £6.99
A simple but powerful invitation to see God in all things, by believing and praying in ways that are often neglected and forgotten.
The Church of England Newspaper writes In a series of perceptive observations of human behaviour in ordinary life, starting with the queue in the newsagent's shop, George Guiver leads the seeker to approach and trust God in the same sort of way as our family and neighbours.
Pursuing the Mystery (George Guiver CR) [PTM] £ 9.99
How is Christ present in worship and how is he present in the daily life of the world?
Company of Voices (George Guiver CR) [COVS] £20.00
Vital reading for anyone who wishes to understand the nature of prayer. Down to earth and accessible, yet applauded for its scholarship, it is "full of help and sympathy for the Christian who finds prayer difficult".
Two books written by groups including members of the Community of the Resurrection which look at the the place of the Priest in Today's Church:
The Fire and the Clay (1993) [F & C] £11.99
This book was written in response to the proposal to close The College of the Resurrection, Mirfield. The authors are: Peter Allan CR, Sister Barbara June SLG, John Gribben CR, George Guiver CR, Christine Henshall, Nicolas Henshall, Charles Pickstone, and Margaret Selby.
Priests in a People's Church (2001) [PPC] £10.99
The authors of "The Fire and the Clay" finished that work very quickly (in less than 3 months), realising when they did so that there was more to be written. This book continues some of those thoughts and explorations, though still in the sense of "work in progress", for we read at the end of the Introduction "having done this,we are now even more aware that the mystery deepens and attracts still further".
The Bookshop still holds some stocks of titles by H A Williams (for many years Dean of Trinity College, Cambridge, and then member of CR in Mirfield):
God's Wisdom in Christ's Cross (1960) [GWCC] was £ 1.50, NOW 75p !!
This is collection of radio talks delivered in Holy Week 1959
True Resurrection (1972) [TR] £16.99
The recent reprint introduces that book like this: "In this deeply moving book H A Williams records for us his experience of the ultimate Christian triumph: the divine transformation of despair into glory, of bankruptcy into limitless riches, or true wilderness into true resurrection - all that separates and injures and destroys has been overcome by what unites and heals and creates. Death has been swallowed up by life."
The Joy of God (1979) [JOG] £12.99
H A Williams writes "The Joy of God is ours already, but, being too blind to recognise it, we have to discover it, not in religious theory, but in the warmth and sweetness and dryness of actual living"
