Roots and Wings: The Human Journey from a Speck of Stardust to a Spark of God 1 review
Margaret Silf
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2007
From Earth to Stardust
After a breathless whirl through the universe story, the author brings us back to planet Earth with very personal and pointed questions addressed to the reader. These are not all tidily collected at the ends of chapters, but interspersed throughout the text in such a way that they cannot easily be ignored. She shows how creation's interplay of chaos and ordering is reflected in our lives, and ...

At Sea With God: A Spiritual Guidebook to the Heart and Soul1 review
Margaret Silf
Ave Maria Press, 2008
Superb use of metaphor
Margaret Silf made use of a powerful metaphor for journeying with God on a personal level. This book is full of wonderful ways to deepen the reader's understanding of the material that she presents.
I am finding this book very useful as I embark on a new venture in my spiritual journey. I have used the language of her metaphor to help others move deeply into our shared project.

One Hundred Wisdom Stories from Around the World1 review
Margaret Silf
Pilgrim Press, 2003
Story meditation
I got a lot out of this little book. Many of the stories struck a cord, they are in the tradition of Anthony de Mello. A few were perhaps more conservative than my taste would like but there was plenty to keep me reading

Wise Choices: A Spiritual Guide to Making Life's Decisions1 review
Margaret Silf
Bluebridge, 2007
Simple, Elegant, Excelent
This is a wonderful book, packed with a lot of very focused, good advice and guidance---and without a lot of unnecessary stories (something I, personally, get bogged down in reading other growth & wisdom books). The only complaint I have---which is something my partner appreciated---was the formatting of the text in the book: All of the text is centered on the page. My partner appreciated that, ...

Lighted Windows: Advent Reflections for a World in Waiting2 reviews
Margaret Silf
Upper Room Books, 2004
Great Advent study
This book offers a great advent study for those with 10-15 minutes a day to spend with the reading, the scriptural passage, and to read and hopefully reflect on the prayer included for each day. The story/short essay provided is 2-3 pages in length, easy to read, and involves a reflection by the author about that day's topic. The book provides a small group discussion guide for each week for ...

Wayfaring: A Gospel Journey into Life1 review
Margaret Silf
Darton,Longman & Todd Ltd, 2001
An Interesting Journey Through the Gospels
The English spiritual writer Margaret Silf is the author of some excellent works from an Ignatian perspective. Two titles I have enjoyed are THE INNER COMPASS, an introduction to the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola and SACRED SPACES which combines Ignatian and Celtic spiritualities. In many ways she personifies the Ignatian ideal. She is a scientist by training but is also a person of ...

Compass Points: Meeting God Every Day at Every Turn
Margaret Silf
Loyola Press, 2009
Journey with an Ignatian spiritual pilgrim and discover God s presence in the mundane as well as the magnificent. Many Christians believe that God is experienced only at special times and in special places. Still others feel that God can truly be experienced only by special, spiritually trained people, such as priests. Surely, they assume, God is not to be found in ordinary times, in ordinary places, by ordinary people. In Compass Points, ...
