In Search of a Way
'I don't think you know who you are.'At first, Gerard Hughes had a ready answer: 'I am a Jesuit priest.' A year later the question exploded inside him. What is the meaning of Christian faith? What is the Church? What does it mean to be a Christian, a Jesuit? After living with these questions for seven years he was given a year off for study and began with two weeks on a desert island followed by a ten week walk to Rome.The author of God of Surprises writes with great candour about his own inner journey and his walk to Rome: the 'outer' journey which helped to focus and clarify many of his spiritual perceptions. This is the revised edition of a book which will make you reflect deeply and laugh aloud; a unique blend of spiritual perception and hard-headed worldly wisdom.
God in All Things
Gerard Hughes's popularity lies in the fact that he always writes directly for the individual struggling with issues of faith and life and gets right to the heart of spiritual needs and concerns. His best-seller GOD OF SURPRISES published nearly 20 years ago has sold nearly a quarter of a million copies. GOD IN ALL THINGS is a follow up to that book written for a different world and a different spiritual climate. This is a guidebook for the inner journey. It is about recognising God in the ordinary, in the joy and sadness of things, about knowing that God cannot be separated from whatever we experience. It is written for people on the fringes of Christianity, or those who are disillusioned with church structures and dogmatic theology. Hughes has written this book because he is concerned at the split between religion and life, as if religion was something apart and detached from the rest of God's creation. Apart from being a brilliant spiritual guide this book is a call to a faith in terminal decline to enlarge its concept of God and break out of the straitjacket of pious religion.
The Evolution of Supplementary Pensions
Presenting the evolution of supplementary pensions over the past 25 years, this comprehensive book introduces the origin of pensions as a concept and explores the role that international organisations play within the field. It draws comparisons between different welfare states, reflecting upon current research and identifying new directions and ideas.
Age Shock
Most countries face the future with an ageing population, yet most governments are cutting back on pensions and the care services needed by the elderly. Robin Blackburn exposes the perverse reasoning and special interests which have combined to produce this nonsensical state of affairs. This updated paperback edition of Age Shock includes a new preface explaining why the credit crunch and eurozone crisis have had such a devastating impact and outlining a way to guarantee decent pensions and care provision.
The Emerald Diamond
Solicitor Richard Jennings think is it is just another ordinary day when he shows up at the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin to cover for an associate on leave. Unfortunately, he could not be more wrong. After he settles into his seat in the court and notices a heavy security presence, a Zimbabwean man who has been accused of murdering Father Patrick OMeara two nights earlier is led into the room in handcuffs. Moments later, Stephen Moyo chooses a very surprised Jennings to represent him. What everyone is about to learn is that Moyo knows Jennings because he is one who prosecuted Father OMeara in the former Rhodesia years earlier for assisting terrorism. As the reason for the murder of the priest and the involvement of the Zimbabweans is eventually revealed, it leads to the discovery of a valuable diamond smuggled from Zimbabwe. Now it is up to Jennings and an Irish detective to determine if Moyo is guilty or innocentand, if so, who committed the heinous crime. In this legal thriller, a solicitor is propelled into the midst of a complex case after he is chosen to represent a Zimbabwean man accused of murdering a priest.
Whispers
My intention as I began to consider writing my life story was to inspire others who, like me, were not raised with any belief in a deity or religion yet had a faint sense of a power beyond our humanity. I hope to encourage others to persevere and never give up no matter what circumstances you face. If we seek, we shall find. If we ask, we shall be given. If we knock, the door will be opened. I had to travel a long way to learn this for myself. God doesn’t promise us an easy ride, for we learn through suffering and find our strength and courage increases. My world as I grew up was not privileged, it was very ordinary, and yet I had many extraordinary adventures and experiences. Read my story for yourself, and maybe you will recognize something of yourself within the pages.
