At a time, when many people are re-thinking their relationship to the natural world, and their understanding of church, this book is vital. This book aims to transform your worship and spirituality through Bible teaching on the natural world. The natural world is a revelation of God. It is one of the ways he has always revealed himself to people.  In the Bible, people connected with God in the wild, Moses found God in a bush, Elijah found Him in whisper. People’s first revelation of God was through the natural world. The Bible starts outside and ends outside. All the best-known stories in the Bible take place outside. Jesus’s teaching takes place outside. He points out the world around him as he talks.  Wild church is becoming more popular all the time. It is a great way of doing church. It is fantastic for people who are seeking God, and it is fantastic for people who don’t even know that they are seeking after God. It is fantastic for people who are disillusioned with mainstream church, and for people who love traditional models of church.  It is fantastic for nature lovers, and people who don’t even know they are nature lovers yet. But this book is for anyone who wants to know God more. Wild Bible, Wild Church is an in-depth study of nature in The Bible, in order to lead people into deeper relationship with God.  Nature in the Bible communicates to us about God’s power, His glory, His strength, His wisdom, His mystery, His Love, and much more besides. In addition, nature can teach us about our spirit, our purposes and the ways we are built in God’s image. Become more wild as you learn to connect to our wild God.

For many people, Mark's gospel has become so familiar that they no longer notice its oddity and may therefore miss what it is saying about the meteoric new reality that is Jesus. Nicholas King calls Mark's gospel 'the strangest gospel' and makes a good deal of this 'strangeness' in this accessible and immensely readable study.

BORING!' Have you ever described the Gospels that way? Well, if you have, you are going to have to find a new word to describe them once you have read this book - something like 'awesome', 'cool', 'fab', or 'wicked' perhaps.Rosie Rushton, who knows a thing or two about writing for teenagers - she has written more than forty highly successful books for them - retells the story of Jesus through the eyes of four teenagers who hovered on the fringes of the crowds that followed him.It is a story full of mystery, adventure, passing, loss, excitement, disillusionment, hope and pain: a story of an all-embracing love that has changed the lives of millions of people over two thousand years - and still does.It is the greatest love story ever told - and them some! So come and chillax with Jesus.

Welcome to the New TestamentThis book is an invitation to read the 27 documents that make up the library we call 'the New Testament'. They come in different shapes and sizes; there are the five (yes, five) narratives that we call 'gospels'. And there are other documents that we call 'letters', though not many of them are the kind of thing you might receive in today's post.All of them have something to do with, indeed each of them sheds a different light on, the remarkable person whom we call Jesus of Nazareth, who was put to death because the political authorities could not cope with him, and whom God raised from that appalling death.This book will tell you how the New Testament works, and how it could change your life.Contents 1. Starting with Paul (because he came first): the letter to the Galatians2. Paul's earliest letter and his shortest: 1 Thessalonians and Philemon3.

John's Gospel includes a broad spectrum of witnesses to Jesus, whose wide-ranging responses and stories are an attempt to persuade audiences of their points of view on Jesus, which range from positive to negative. The evangelist wants his readers to become more confident in their faith, hence his desire to tell a credible story (or series of stories) about Jesus.Credible Witnesses follows John's lead by allowing many of his characters to speak about Jesus by telling their stories. This involves imagination and even conjecture at times. In each of the chapters of this book, a character's testimony is illuminated with some background information, before going on to show how John uses the testimony as part of the witness of his Gospel as a whole. Each chapter ends with some reflections that help to draw John's Gospel into the present.

How do we speak of God who is not physical but spirit? We follow the Bible and use body language. We speak of God walking in the Garden, of talking with prophets and kings. Such body language speaks powerfully about the way we understand God acting in this world and relating to it. This book explores how such symbolism appears in the Bible and what it tells us about God. It also examines the way in which some of Jesus' physical features are described in the Gospels to convey the evangelists' understanding of his distinctive actions.
