At Sea With God cleverly considers the notion of seafaring as a model for our spiri tual journey and invites us to leave the safety of the boatyard for the uncertainty and risk of a voyage across uncharted waters to a mysterious destination.

At Sea with God

Darton,Longman & Todd Ltd.

Based on the caterpillar-chrysalis-butterfly metaphor of Hidden Wings, this book offers spiritual insights and wisdom from the likes of Teilhard de Chardin to help us explore what it means to be an agent of spiritual change in our own life and that of the world around us. Written as more of a handbook full of spiritual exercises than Hidden Wings, Born to Fly also includes a five-week study guide which readers may choose to study over a Lent period.

Born To Fly: A Handbook for Butterflies-in-Waiting

Written as a direct response to fears raised by division in post-Brexit Britain and since the election of Donald Trump in the USA, Hidden Wings is a superb book of spiritual transformation and hope for the future, by Margaret Silf, the bestselling author of Landmarks and At Sea with God. As the world around us moves into a period of immense and tumultuous change, and the structures and values by which we have charted our lives seem to be collapsing around us, many people are struggling to plot their spiritual path through an unfamiliar landscape or to believe in tomorrow. Using the analogy of the caterpillar entering the devastating, world-altering stage of the chrysalis, before emerging - transformed - as the butterfly, Margaret Silf demonstrates that this moment could be an opportunity for immense spiritual transformation and hope for the future.

Doubleday Religion

A beloved spiritual leader shares wisdom and comfort for the voyage of life. Hailed for her compassionate, enlightening insight that unites contemporary concerns with ancient spiritual paths, Margaret Silf has guided thousands of men and women in powerful journeys of self-discovery. At Sea with God invites readers to experience her most invigorating message to date, using the ocean as a metaphor for the chances and changes we must all confront. Drawing on seven vivid images, At Sea with God casts a beautiful new light on: The “vessels” that carry each of us through a lifetime of events Cargo, which has the potential to sustain us or to weigh us down The process of setting sail for unfamiliar destinations Navigating uncharted waters, even when the best path is difficult to discern Taming fear during storms and shipwrecks Rejoicing in the serenity of calm seas and dealing with the times when we feel we are “going nowhere”Choosing the best time and place to drop anchor Written in gentle prose reminiscent of Henri Nouwen’s and C. S. Lewis’s, At Sea with God offers a short course in strengthening the soul using meditative tradition. For Christians of all denominations, Margaret Silf has created a safe harbor to savor again and again.

Sacred Spaces

The Celts believed that the visible and invisible worlds, the material and spiritual were one. For them, certain places were sacred - places where the divide between visible and invisible was very thin. This text leads the reader into a deeper reflection on what sacred space means.

Lion publishing Plc.

What is prayer? Why do we do it - or wish we could do it? How do we begin to turn the deepest stirrings inside us into the words and the silences of prayer? When we pray, who are we praying to? Where should we pray? Is prayer just as effective and real on the bus or at work as it is in church? Is prayer for the bad days as well as the good days? These are just some of the questions Margaret Silf explores in this handy book. Written in short chunks of text for the reader to dip in and out of, this book encourages the reader to begin to find their own answers to these questions.

Through offering suggestions, not rules, and short, accessible chunks of text, Margaret Silf encourages us to trust our own hearts and minds.
