Never Let The Songs End
This collection of 124 new hymns by Martin Leckebusch highlights the vitality of contemporary hymn writing and its place in modern worship. Inspired by a vibrant tradition which stretches back several hundred years, and which has nourished Martin's own walk with God, the texts cover a broad range of themes and almost all can be sung to familiar tunes. Hymns frequently anchor our faith in the big story of God's plan of salvation; the often remind us of our belonging to one another as well as to Christ; they help us to explore what discipleship means in different situations; and they offer possibilities in narrative, lament, reflection and other styles. These texts are offered with the prayer that they may become part of that one great song of praise which will find its fulfilment only in the age to come.

The Art Of Bible Reading
The Art of Bible Reading is designed to introduce 11 to 14-year-olds to the Bible through the exploration of eight significant biblical narratives. Over 12 lessons, these narratives are explored alongside paintings by the artist Brian J. Turner. These paintings illustrate the texts in a quirky, contemporary and thought provoking style. The Art of Bible Reading will: increase biblical literacy and familiarity with both individual biblical narratives and the story of salvation that runs through the Bible as a whole; introduce different ways in which biblical narratives are interpreted within Christian and other traditions; encourage reflection on how Christian communities are shaped by their telling of the Bible's story; give licence for personal engagement with, and response to, the biblical narratives from faith-based or secular perspectives. Each lesson in The Art of Bible Reading is organised around four phases of learning - encountering narrative; interpreting narrative; understanding narrative in community contexts; and reflecting on narratives of self and others - and involves the completion of a wide range of interactive, creative and stimulating learning activities.
