A Chequered Legacy Book 1: An Advent Course (The Good)
A Chequered Legacy is a two-volume study course in which popular author Nick Fawcett explores 'the good, the bad and the ugly' of the Church.Starting in Advent, The Good looks at the positive aspects of the Church, celebrating some of the achievements of Christian believers across the years in terms of building a better world, and asking what their efforts and example might teach us today.In the Lent book, The Bad and the Ugly, Nick Fawcett moves on to faults of the Church; faults that call us to reflect, confess, repent and work as best we can for a better, more enlightened future.We have inherited a chequered church history: a mixture of the inspiring and appalling, wonderful and awful, and we need to learn from both. Through doing so honestly, we can open the way for God to help us become more fully the people he would have us be.Contents• A voice for freedom: William Wilberforce• A voice for justice: The Earl of Shaftesbury• A voice for the sick: Florence Nightingale• voice for the voiceless: Martin Luther King• A voice for peace and reconciliation: Nelson Mandela

Formed By The Desert
The desert is an unforgiving and dangerous place and one few would enter by choice. And yet a recurrent theme in the Bible is that some of the key characters bound up with the history of our faith were shaped by just such a place. And so too, it is, with us.Drawing upon the stories of the likes of Abraham and Sarah, Moses and Miriam, Elijah, the psalmists, Hosea and his wife, John the Baptist and Jesus himself, Joyce Huggett explores how God worked through them and how their lives can be a true inspiration for our own.The desert is a place of formation and transition, of revelation, new beginnings, miracles and grace. And in it we can encounter a God who will truly transform us.

The Helplessness of God
Many people are uncomfortable with the way in which leadership has been exercised within Christianity, and in this book Nicholas King looks at what the Bible tells us about the exercise of authority. The message is that human beings, with the exception of Jesus, always get it wrong, unless they are prepared to 'lead by listening' or exercise authority as an act of loving service. For the only absolute authority is God.Why speak of 'the helplessness of God'? Because God is voluntarily dependent on our response, helpless until we make our decision, and will not force us to choose our own good. God's love is never tyrannical, always utterly respectful of human freedom. That must be the way ahead for authority in the Church.

Revealed
The films Calendar Girls and The Full Monty, on which this course is based, have one thing in common: nakedness. However, this is simply the trigger for the true revelations which give these stories their heart. This course has six weekly sessions, taking themes from film scenes and applying them to the Bible, exploring ways in which we are revealed to ourselves and to God, and how God reveals himself to us and to the world. Meditations precede each session, encouraging participants to read, reflect, pray, think, question and be creative in their own time. Each session is self-contained, meaning if a participant cannot attend one week, they will not fall behind. And don't worry, there is no nudity involved!

Affirming His Presence
For over fifty years, David Adam has sought to affirm the presence of God by rejoicing each day in the fact that 'God is here' and with us wherever we are. Believing that prayer should involve the whole of our being, he decided to use hands and eyes as well as mouth, heart and mind. He would keep a 'prayer diary' and pen a prayer every day, using the time to focus on the love and presence of God. Many of these prayers were deeply personal, others were prayers relevant to the moment alone.He has shared some of these prayers with us in this book in the hope that they will encourage you to keep your own prayer diary which would provide your own special moment in the day for focusing on God. With a whole year's worth of such prayers, his book invites you to 'affirm the presence' each day and to rejoice in the love and closeness of God.
