Trouble With Church?
What does it mean to be a churchgoing Christian in modern Britain? Lucy Berry, formerly poet-in-residence of the Jeremy Vine Show, has wrestled with the essential meaning of the Christian life and Church for many years and expresses her anguish in poetry which is vivid, passionate and sometimes angry. Trouble with Church? invites churchgoers to face difficult issues and make genuine Christian responses. Its unusual yet imaginative form and approach make it excellent material for study groups and many poems are suitable for church worship.

Off-The-Shelf Assemblies - New Edition
The main aim of collective worship is to search for the meaning and purpose of life. This book provides material for secondary school assemblies that addresses the spiritual perspective within a Christian context, linked to the central teachings in the Bible. The assemblies are designed to raise those important questions that all of us, at some point, try to find answers to. Each assembly has been tried and tested in a secondary school, and contains a talk, prayer and suggested hymn. Each assembly can be used in its present format or be incorporated into a longer assembly. Alternatively, they are useful resources for discussion in PSHE, religious studies or citizenship lessons.

Death Funerals And Heaven
Adults often think that death is a grown-up subject from which young people should be protected, but this can make the youngest members of the family feel very lost and alone in their grief. This book will help young people to seek guidance about death, funerals, life after death and heaven. It will also help adults to include young members of their family in preparing the funeral and talking about how loss affects everyone. There are drawing and writing exercises throughout to enable young people to express what they are thinking and feeling as they cope with the death of a loved one.

Pictures Of The Early Church
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.
