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.

Describing contemplative prayer, this book attempts to offer spiritual nourishment to those who find this way of praying natural for them and those who wish to discover hitherto unknown facets of the beauty of prayer.
