God Speaking
Communication is one of the most high-profile features of our modern life. There have never been so many ways of being in touch. The technological media for communication are becoming ever more sophisticated, 'smart' and widely available. But they can be a mixed blessing. Advent is an opportune time to consider this vital facet of human experience and to do so in the light of a belief in God.This study course is intended as a way in to doing just that. It explores what it might mean to become friends and followers of the God of Jesus Christ, the supreme communicator. Its focus for that exploration is the Letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament. For Hebrews brings us face to face with a Jesus Christ who 'is the same yesterday, today and for ever' (Hebrews 13:8) and who constantly invites our response.

A short, thought-provoking saying about God for every day of the year in a diary format, with space for notes on each page.The first rule in communicating is to presume that the person I am speaking to is a person of good will.

Credible Witnesses
John's Gospel includes a broad spectrum of witnesses to Jesus, whose wide-ranging responses and stories are an attempt to persuade audiences of their points of view on Jesus, which range from positive to negative. The evangelist wants his readers to become more confident in their faith, hence his desire to tell a credible story (or series of stories) about Jesus.Credible Witnesses follows John's lead by allowing many of his characters to speak about Jesus by telling their stories. This involves imagination and even conjecture at times. In each of the chapters of this book, a character's testimony is illuminated with some background information, before going on to show how John uses the testimony as part of the witness of his Gospel as a whole. Each chapter ends with some reflections that help to draw John's Gospel into the present.

Cooking Up Worship
Christian worship is exciting, innovative and life- changing - or at least that's what it should be. If your church isn't like that, then you need this book. Too often the Church is like a restaurant whose clientele is dwindling because the chef doesn't seem to care what the customer wants. What's on offer is stodgy, dull and unattractive.David Flavell makes no apology for being controversial in his assessment of the present state of affairs but goes on to provide constructive, well-presented and easily understood guidelines for cooking up services that are attractive and give glory to God. There is no need for a degree in theology, music or cuisine; the requirements are the desire to reach people where they are and at the same time to please God - simple but profound.

The Unfolding Story
Photocopy: PermittedThe Unfolding Story is a comprehensive parish resource for reflective worship on the Old Testament. It is designed for use in public worship or for quiet days, with the 80 meditations woven into themed ready-to-use orders of service.For many the Old Testament is a closed book - primitive and dull, often barbaric, irrelevant. To reconcile the God we find there with the God revealed in Jesus is sometimes hard.But it is also the story of a people's journey across centuries towards an ever-deepening understanding of God's greatness, love and mercy, all brought together in anticipation of the promised Messiah - a journey shared and continued by every Christian.The meditations which form the basis of the services in The Unfolding Story were previously published in Grappling with God. Nick Fawcett has now developed them into complete services with•an Introduction • Prayers • Hymn suggestions • Commentries • ReadingsNothing more to do, except pray them!
