Exploring Spiritual Direction: An Essay on Christian Friendship
("In his book, Alan Jones has made a fine contribution to ...)
"In his book, Alan Jones has made a fine contribution to the needs of the church. He has stripped away the obscurity and fearfulness of this important ministry and shown it to be basically good Christian common sense, rooted and grounded in the love of God in Christ, and enabled by the Holy Spirit to be effective. He gives us a wonderful picture of friendship in Christ as we move together through our pilgrimage... This book will be a great help to all of us, as we struggle to come more fully into the holiness of God." - The Living Church

Soul Making: The Desert Way of Spirituality
( A leading spiritual writer recovers "The Desert Way of ...)
A leading spiritual writer recovers "The Desert Way of Believing" -- the spiritual pathway discovered by early Christian monks who lived in the Egyptian desert that is still relevant to Christians today. Alan Jones distills the elements that made this fully orthodox way of inner transformation a unique and important part of the early church. Refreshingly readable and filled with rich insights, Soul Making draws together the spirituality of modern literature and elements of psychology. Jones shows how the desert way can become for any spiritual seeker a soul-stretching means of experiencing the "wonder, mystery, and awe" at the heart of the Christian faith.

Passion for Pilgrimage
(The Christian spiritual journey is a pilgrimage to wholen...)
The Christian spiritual journey is a pilgrimage to wholeness, a search for home that is in God. In this classic work on contemporary spiritual living, Alan Jones explores the various parts of the pilgrimage home. Using literature, art, and biblical texts as illustrations, he explores our search for light and love, repentance, and forgiveness in the context of the Passion and Easter stories. An excellent book for group study during Lent and Easter, this new edition includes study questions at the end of each chapter. Passio for Pilgrimage is also provocative reading for individuals at any time of the year who want to understand the Christian journey more deeply.
