A gift book for birthdays, confirmations, bereavements, to lift the spirit and console the heart, Living by Grace is an anthology on the theme of grace and its connections with such themes as forgiving, suffering, choosing, waiting and dying. In his foreword, Richard Holloway says that Living by Grace is more than a way of Pauline and Nadir sharing their delight in the examples of human wisdom and beauty that they have collected over the years: ‘it is an act of ministry, a work of service.’ The authors they quote range over centuries and faiths; it is as if the quotations are themselves gracious invitations to delve into the work of so many encouragers of humanity.

The Wanderer: Epigrams of a European Mystic, by Angelus Silesius, translated by Werner Pelz.
£15 hardback ISBN 1870652 35 5
This is the first complete translation into English – in rhyming couplets – of a work of mystical prayer by the seventeenth-century Silesian, Johann Scheffler, known more widely as Angelus Silesius. Hans Ludwig Held, the modem editor of Scheffler’s collected works in German, has written of The Wanderer, ‘In its astonishing condensation, principally of the German mystical tradition from Meister Eckhart to Jakob Boehme, and in its admirable inwardness, it reminds us of the profoundest statements of the Gospels, of the boldest conceptions of the Upanishads, of the mystery of the Buddhist Nirvana.’ Werner Pelz, the translator, has in his retirement sought to salvage from oblivion this great poetical work.
