One hundred lamps for the soul - Celia Haddon

Books of spiritual writings continue to be popular. But here, in one volume, are 100 of the greatest and most life-changing spiritual passages ever written, through the ages and across the faiths. Far from being predictable, this collection contains much that will be fresh and new, to discover and enjoy. Lao Tzu's Te Tao Ching, Dr Samuel Johnson, Marcus Aurelis, the parable of the Good Samaritan, Arjuna asking Krishna how to live from Gita, the death of Socrates, St Thomas a Kempsis, John Henry Newman, Brother Lawrence, Jeremy Taylor, John Donne and the Jewish Mystic, Moses Maimonides. And many, many more.

There will be notes at the back, a short preface and introductions to the passages where necessary.
