All-Sorts Prayer
One of the many challenges presented by church services is how to unite people of all ages and abilities in prayer in a way which engages them all. All-Sorts Prayer offers an opportunity to do just this.Drawing on her experience of leading creative prayer, Claire Benton-Evans uses symbols, actions and sensory experience to provide adaptable and original prayers for an 'all-sorts' congregation. The prayers are grouped by theme and suggested position in the service. Each prayer clearly lists resources needed, words for the leader, a prayer action and closing words. Instructions are given to help the nervous leader, while those more experienced can just pick up the prayers and go.The accompanying downloads provides many of the resources needed for the prayers, while other suggested resources include essential oils, honey and glow-sticks!

Overturning Tables
Poems are like parables, written to draw in the listener or reader. Paul Canon Harris combines humour, surprise and wordplay to get his audience thinking in a new way or to trigger a new insight.The title Overturning Tables reflects the author's belief that God is the Great Disturber. Jesus overturned tables in the temple, upset the political and religious establishments and unleashed his Upside Down, Inside Out Kingdom.This collection of accessible poems is a set of stepping stones through the calendar year. Many of them have already been used to enrich a wide range of acts of worship, and have been valued as part of personal reflection and prayer times.We live life at such a pace these days; reading poetry is a wonderful way of slowing down and reflecting on the more important things in life.Paul Canon Harris is a poet, writer and broadcaster based in Bournemouth. He is a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 2 and other radio stations.

Seeking The Way
Themed quiet days for those of all faiths and none - by Nick FawcettIn our restless modern world, in which many seem as troubled and stressed as they have ever been, we need to make time to be still, to commune with something beyond ourselves.

Rather than dealing with overtly religious issues, it approaches everyday matters from a spiritual perspective, covering themes as diverse as anxiety, anger, sorrow, friendship, suffering, envy, truth, loneliness and numerous others, each moving from the negative to the positive, the life denying to the life affirming.

Candle Prayers
Light has long been a symbol of power and hope, a reminder of the abiding presence, peace and love of God; of triumph over darkness. The services in this book take inspiration from the many different ways candlelighting has been used over the centuries for devotion and thanksgiving. There are services for special occasions including Advent, Titles of the Christ (the 'O Antiphons'), Easter and All Saints as well as for relevant themes: Birth, Journeying and for times of darkness. They are adaptable so that they can be used at the lighting of the candles in church before the Eucharist, at home as an evening devotion, at the start of a Bible group, or with each candle prayer used as a meditation in itself. Each service is structured to include a welcome, candle-lighting, special intention and closing prayer, with a focus on quiet reflection in the presence of God and the aim of carrying his light out into the world.

Daily Lent Reflections
To deepen our devotional life we need a focus for our thoughts, spiritual food to nurture our faith and discipleship. Daily Lent Reflections makes more accessible the spiritual sustenance already offered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.For each of the 40 days of Lent, there are readings, reflections, prayers and points to ponder on themes such as forgiving others, doing that little bit extra in God's service, choosing the way of the kingdom instead of the often-enticing 'way of the world', seeking God's will rather than our own, valuing and respecting others.How do we work out such ideas in terms of daily life? What are their implications for us today? This book sets out to answer such questions, bringing home the challenge, promise, encouragement and inspiration implicit within the teaching of Jesus.

Wonderful Worship
An invaluable resource to make Advent and Christmas even more specialThe whole season of Christmas, from Advent to Epiphany, is a wonderful opportunity for the Church to celebrate the birth of Jesus as 'God with us'.Instead of feeling we are battling against the tide and shutting ourselves off from all the festivities, which are increasingly secular, Susan Sayers encourages us to embrace them and fill them with real meaning. In her excellent book of resources for worship in church, outside and at home, for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, the author shows how this can be possible.The resources help to make Advent more spacious and reflective, rather than being caught up in the frantic pre-Christmas secular stress. They also show how we can Christianise many of the pre- and post-Christmas activities, so that these secular events are not extras to be squashed into an already hopelessly busy schedule, but become an integral part of our Christian preparation and reflection.

Deep Calls To Deep
Modern-day life may bear no resemblance to the experiences of the Psalmists, yet basic human nature and emotions don't change. We can easily identify with the range of feelings expressed, as the Psalmists poured out their hearts to God in sincere, earnest prayer, praise and worship. God has much to say to us through the Psalms and their timeless poetry gives us a language to express ourselves to God in return.In this inspiring meditative collection, Linda Ottewell has chosen an extract from a Psalm as a springboard for her thoughts and ideas, which are presented as a short reflection and then rounded off with a prayer or poem, a verse or two from Scripture, or part of a well-loved hymn.It's a book to dip into when you have a few minutes. You'll find a variety of themes, including upbeat praise and worship, crying out to God for help in times of trouble, admitting doubts and fears, expressing an intense longing for God, and confessing sins.Our prayers should be vibrant and lead us into the very heart of God. Here are reflections to encourage and edify, to help you draw nearer to God and go deeper with him.Margaret Rizza writes:These beautiful reflections on the Psalms draw us right into the heart of Scripture, giving helpful insights into our ordinary, everyday lives. Deep Calls to Deep is a book which will inspire and awaken us to new horizons and this will reflect the way we go about dealing with the very ordinary things which we encounter every day of our lives. The thoughts and reflections after the extracts of the chosen Psalms are very helpful and constructive, allowing us to see anew some of the very difficult things arising from a culture which poses many things which need much reflection.This is a book of great depth and will be a great blessing and resource to many people seeking a closer relationship with our Creator God. "Spiritual espresso - a shot of strong, stimulating spiritual reflection to start the day!" Don Egan, Director of RSVP Trust

All-Sorts Prayer 2
All-Sorts Prayer 2 offers an imaginative and often surprising collection of prayer ideas. Who would have thought that feathers, mirrors, ping pong balls, sand and After Eight mints could be used in prayer? All these and more are arranged in different sections to help worship leaders vary the prayers they offer. Here are prayers which use music, gesture, action, the senses, creative responses, mark-making, silence or tangible objects. By popular demand, the biggest section ('Prayers where we are') contains interactive prayers for those people who physically can't get up easily during a service -and for those congregations who simply won't! All-Sorts Prayer 2 also offers a fresh collection of seasonal prayers for the Church's special occasions. Have you ever found yourself thinking, 'Help! I've got to produce informal intercessions for this week's Harvest Festival'? If so, then this is definitely the book you need.

Travelling Together
This is an invaluable book for catechists who, week-by-week, guide and support those who seek membership of the Catholic Church. This process is called 'The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults' (RCIA) which culminates in Lent and reaches fulfilment at Easter. In order for it to be an engaging 'process', a shared journey in faith, rather than a series of talks, much resource material is needed to assist the catechists.Thus Travelling Together is not another programme; it is a treasury, or compendium, of resource material that can be used to support an existing programme. You'll find the entire resource on the accompanying CD-ROM/downloads.There's easy-to-use guidance for the catechists; a glossary, information sheets that can be taken home for further reading and discussion outlines that can prompt interactive involvement, enriching the process as the group travels together towards Easter.
