Life is not neat or painless, but is instead stuffed full of meaning, mystery, beauty and sacred encounters; all shaped by our relationships with people, places, ideas and stories. The Wise Traveller anthologies are for anyone interested in deepening their awareness of ‘spirituality’ as part of life. Wise Traveller offers pathways into biblical thought by taking Christian spiritual classics – Celtic, Monastic, Contemplative, Eastern, Evangelical and other traditions – and placing them alongside new and original meditations, stories, poems and exercises by contemporary authors recognised for their creative and experimental approaches to exploring faith
'When you find yourself alone it’s so easy to forget the simple truths and it’s refreshing to find stories and words to lead you through the days. Being a traveller myself I love to carry inspirational thoughts with me. These books are ideal – and easy to throw in your pocket or bag.'
Moya Brennan, Singer/Clannad
'An interesting shift for Scripture Union whose staple is Bible reading notes. This is much looser, more open, broad and seeking to be useful to spiritual travellers everywhere drawing on the Christian traditions of spirituality.'
Jonny Baker, Co-author of Alternative Worship
'These small books will be helpful to Christians and non-Christians alike, and will be an invaluable resource for churches that are serious about connecting with today’s spiritual searchers, many of whom will be completely ignorant of the Christian faith.'
John Drane, Author of The McDonaldization of the Church
