This book is about finding our spiritual home in God and how that helps us to lead a life of honesty and genuine love towards the rest of humanity and the planet that sustains our physical lives. A person comes home to God by learning how to walk by faith instead of being driven by fear; by finding freedom of spirit through accepting whatever yoke of discipline fits their situation. In this way a person comes not only to themselves, but to God: to a living knowledge of God. Through this understanding we reach the realization of God as our true home; someone who is always there when we turn to Him, who welcomes us back no matter how far we stray, or for how long. Our true home, our safe haven, the place where we are fully loved, is in God.
Drawing on Townroe’s retreat talks, these essays span many decades, but the universal truths on which they are founded resonate through time and through the shifts and changes of our increasingly complex society.
The Revd Canon E. John Townroe (1920–2018) was educated at St John’s College, Oxford and Lincoln Theological College. After a short period as a parish priest he dedicated his life to training and supporting other priests. He was first chaplain and then warden to ordinands from King’s College London at St Boniface College, Warminster from 1948 to 1969, before becoming a full time spiritual director, retreat leader and teacher for the remainder of his life. He was elected a Fellow of King’s College in 1959.
