Books by Elizabeth Ruth Obbard

Like her 14th century predecessor Julian of Norwich, Sr Elizabeth lives as a solitary attached to a religious community. Here, she uses the symbols of the three windows of Julian's cell to explore the themes of self-awareness, compassion for others and longing for God.

A Year with Mary is an invitation to live through the Christian year in the company of a woman who has been like a mother, sister and friend to countless followers of Jesus. This collection of prayers and readings - from the Bible, the classics and the present day - are arranged around the 24 Marian festivals in the Christian calendar.

This warm and engaging book introduces six very different Carmelite figures and their individual ways of prayer: Simon of England, Teresa of Avila, St John of the Cross, Brother Lawrence, Terese of Lisieux and Elizabeth of Hungary.
