Christian Books & Bibles

Floris Books

This is a classic book from the unique insight and spiritual wisdom of Evelyn Capel. She covers the main festivals and events in the Christian Year: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Ascension, Whitsun, St John's tide, and Michaelmas, always linking them back to the Gospels and Christ. She considers the cycles of our world: the changing seasons; life, death and resurrection; waking and sleeping; breathing in and breathing out. Throughout, Capel never loses sight of the over-arching cosmic themes which influence the spiritual rhythms of the Earth and human beings.

The Christian Year

Earth's changing seasons are a background to human existence. While outwardly her surface is cold and still, hidden activity goes on, giving place to outbursts of energy, as Earth pours her life through the growing, moving multitude of her creatures who flourish in summer. The festivals of the Christian year inspire sharing in the constant rhythms of the seasons. This is a companion to the round of the year, especially for those wishing to make a bridge between inner and outer life.

We all inevitably face death. But should we allow ourselves to feel fear when confronted with this fact? By looking at the spiritual background to life and death, the author shows how we can begin to comprehend the true meaning of our physical incarnation. She also offers practical advice, in a straightforward and easily digestible way, on caring for the dying.

Literature & Fiction

Dramas & Plays

Throughout human history, people have told stories to convey wisdom and truth. The parables of Jesus Christ are among the most well known of these. Originally told to different groups of people -- crowds by the lakeside in Gallilee, the disciples, the Pharisees -- these stories contain depths of meaning and insight which remain true for us today. Evelyn Capel studies twelve parables -- including The Prodigal Son, the Story of the Sower, the Talents, The Good Samaritan, and many more -- and draws out their relevance today, showing how they have revealed different truths as human consciousness has developed.
