The Spirituality of T. S. Eliot
In his preface, Redmond writes: “A century ago, Thomas Sterns Eliot published The Waste Land (1922), the poem that shook the staid world of Anglo-Saxon intellectuals.

He saw the cause as culture loss. We have broken with our deepest traditions: literary, philosophical, spiritual; we have lost our humanities, our humanity [...] Eliot never lost his pessimism. But he balanced this realism with the hopefulness obvious in his later works, especially in Four Quartets, but hinted at in The Waste La...
Spiritual Selfhood and the Modern Idea
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) and T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) were icons of their age, literary giants who dominated the British cultural landscape of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Yet both were cosmopolitan outsiders who lived in London as expatriates but remained products of their biographical histories Carlyle as the working class Scotsman and Eliot the transplanted New England patrician. Carlyle quickly earned himself a reputation as the "Chelsea Sage" of the Victorian Era, the cultural prophet whose creative and critical works, informal salon gatherings, and oracular personality generated an unprecedented following among both the intellectuals and masses.

Earthed in God
This resource for spiritual directors offers exercises and prayer tools on the theme of spiritual growth. Using the Biblical image of gardening, Christopher Chapman offers material for those seeking to live a more abundant and fruitful life. He explores four stages of spiritual development: - Sinking roots into God’s creative earth: practices that reveal where we can grow and develop. - Emergence: ‘holy daring’ and responding to God’s invitation to put out new shoots. - Abundance and maturity: how to recognize resistance to the work of the Spirit. - Fruitfulness and falling: finding fulfillment in giving and receiving. The material is also ideal for personal reading during a retreat or by those receiving spiritual direction.
