We may want to use writing to help us on our faith journey, it can be hard to know where to start. This practical book highlights the many enjoyable, nurturing, devotional and therapeutic ways of being creative on the page that will help us grow as Christians.
Growing Spiritually with the Myers-Briggs Model

This book explains and explores the different Myers-Briggs personality types, and looks at areas for growth. It includes practical suggestions for devotional and everyday activities we can use to help us along the way to wholeness.
Making the Most of Midlife
Mid-life transition cannot be pigeon-holed into one narrow age-bracket…A hallmark is that so many concerns and pressures arise and once and seemingly out of the blue.
This book charts the landscape of mid-life transition and suggests constructive and creative ways of engaging with it. It draws on biblical wisdom, psychological insight and personal experience.

Chester City Walls
A poet’s mosaic
‘Chester City Walls is an exceptional first collection. These are lyric poems and historical narratives of the highest order: expansive, impeccably controlled, assured and full of imagery that lingers long in the memory. They are poems of place built, like the Walls themselves, piece by piece with a chisel-like intricacy, mapping centuries of lives lived and imagined, and how their shadows continue to bear upon us now.’
Dr Nikolai Duffy, Lecturer in American Literature
