Themed Sunday Intercessions
It is a privilege to lead intercessions in church on a Sunday and at the great Christian festivals. It can also be daunting. Rupert Bristow here brings his fresh wording to enrich the Sunday intercessions at your church, with prayers that can be used as they are or adjusted to suit your local situation. The prayers stem from Rupert's own prayer life and experience of leading intercessions in church, making them real and relevant to Christian life and worship.The prayers are in the form of sets of intercessions for use in the main morning services. The themes in the headings are picked up in the prayers, which also cover other subjects normally found in Sunday intercessions. The whole text is contained on the accompanying CD-ROM for ease of printing and adaptation of each set of prayers, and the book also has an extensive Index of Topics.

The Kingdom Of Forgiveness
The kingdom of God is the kingdom of heaven and is the place where forgiveness is at home. God has already forgiven everything, past, present and to come, and the only question remaining is, can we forgive one another? Forgiveness is truth, revenge is a lie. Forgiveness is a gift, and it is needed by everyone, not just by those we consider to be sinners. In heaven everything will not be corrected, everything will be forgiven.Gerald O'Mahony's insightful and thought-provoking study of forgiveness includes a series of questions based on the individual chapters, ideal for group discussion.
