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.

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.

Reflections In The Bauble
As you journey through the period of Advent and prepare to celebrate Christmas Day, do the decorations on the tree reflect a house of peace and joy or are they more likely to reflect the stress and turmoil that often surrounds this time?

It will offer tools to help individuals creatively explore how they are personally affected by these issues and space to search for what Jesus offers in the tensions, busyness and suffering of everyday life.

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.

More Sermons On Difficult Subjects
Tackling difficult subjects from the pulpit is not an easy task: it takes a degree of courage and sensitivity. Reluctance to risk such preaching often stems from simply not knowing how to go about it. There are many more difficult subjects than could be addressed in the first book of this series, so here are a further 72 topics from Abortion to Wealth, Fraud to Promiscuity, and even the contentious issue of Superstition. Each subject includes a biblical text, some background information, sermon ideas, a story and a thought to take away, with the authors bringing their own expertise and particular style to the format.AuthorsRupert Bristow, Jocelyn Bryan, Tony Castle, Helen Costigane, John Cox, Paul Cox, Brian Fahy, Brendan Geary, Ed Hone, Deborah Jones, Bruce Kent, Alison Moore, Chris Morley, Paul Nicholson, Siobhán O'Keeffe, John Parr, Robert Reiss, Clare Richards, Edgar Ruddock, John Saxbee, Ray Simpson, Joy Tetley, Helen WarwickContents SubjectsAbortionAbstinenceAdoptionAIDS/HIVAmbitionAngerAnimal rightsAnti-semitismAstrologyCapitalismCensorshipChildlessnessConflictDepressionDeprivationDespairDisciplineDiscriminationEmbryologyEuthanasiaExorcismFertility/infertilityFortune-tellingFraudGay marriageGenetic manipulationGluttonyGossipGuiltHealingHuman rightsHungerHypocrisyIslamophobiaLustLyingMagicMaterialismMoneyMulticulturalismNatural DisastersOld ageOrgan transplantPainPermissivenessPersecutionPowerPrejudicePridePrisonPromiscuityPunishmentRapeReconciliationRepentanceResponsibilityResponsible behaviourRevengeRiskScandalSecularismSlanderSterilisationSuperstitionSwearingTheftTokenismTravellers and gypsiesUsuryVivisectionWealthWorld hunger
