FOLLOW YOUR DREAM
What guides a tiny acorn as it grows, slowly and surely, into a majestic oak? Peter Hannah SJ talks of ‘the dream in the acorn’ a dream which guides this wonderful transformation. Each one of us, too, has a built in dream, a plan of God for our happiness that we may have life and have it in abundance. The difference between us and the acorn, however, is that we must take responsibility for the fulfilment of our dream. This involves befriending all those areas of our life from which we have become estranged.
This book is about precisely that process. It offers a set of thirty exercises through which you can work at befriending, or restoring an intimacy which you may have lost, with your inmost self, with God, with others, and with the whole of creation.

NINE PORTRAITS
THIS BOOK seeks to help you answer that central question which Jesus asks each person: ‘And what about you, who do you, say that I am?’
It is a question you are constantly being asked throughout your life and only you can answer it. Your answer will be an expression, not only of what you think of and feel about Jesus, but of what you think of and feel about yourself. Therefore, the answer you give to Jesus’ question will be crucial.
This book seeks an answer to Jesus’ question mainly from the gospels, but also from our own experiences of the people who have given us a good impression of who Jesus is and of the different aspects of his personality.
It also makes extensive use of the Divine ideas of the Enneagram. These help us to clarify and define the features of nine kinds of people we have met in our personal experience. Thus we use the gospels, our own experience of people, and the Enneagram to become aware of, to clarify and then to paint nine portraits of Jesus.

THE QUIET REVOLUTION
This book is about a momentous choice which faces each of us today, between what is kife giving and what is destructive. This choice is between two cultures, each of which is bidding for our allegiance and each of which proposes its own distinctive value system and lifestyle. One culture centres on the outer world of material things, on what we have and what we do. The priority of the alternative culture is to give to our relationship with God, with our inner self, with others and with creation, the time, energy and resources they deserve. To choose this culture will involve us in a revolutionary change of mind and heart. The nature of this quiet revolution, and what it means to play our part in it, is the subject matter of this book.
