Spirit and Becoming: On Retreat with Evelyn Underhill: Foreword by Rowan Williams

Are you longing for spiritual refreshment but too nervous or busy to go on a formal weekend retreat? If so, this book, designed especially for use on self-led retreats, will prove invaluable, taking you on a journey that will revive your soul.

Few other volumes provide such rich material, and Robyn Wrigley-Carr accompanies us sympathetically throughout.

Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Evelyn Underhill, one of the most influential writers on Christian spirituality, Robyn Wrigley-Carr offers a gentle and accessible guide to creating your own self-led retreat.

Weaving together carefully selected passages from Underhill's retreat addresses and letters of spiritual guidance, short prayers from her Prayer Book, readings from the Psalms and Gospels, and thoughtful questions for reflection, this beautifully curated collection invites readers to slow down, reconnect with God and rediscover the richness of the Christian contemplative tradition.

With warmth and sensitivity, Wrigley-Carr accompanies readers on a journey of prayer, stillness and spiritual renewal, illuminating the depth, balance and sometimes surprising paradoxes of Underhill's spiritual vision.

Whether you're seeking a moment of quiet in a busy week or planning a more extended personal retreat, this book offers a nourishing companion for anyone longing to deepen their relationship with God.
