Heart to Heart
Heart to Heart - Reflective thoughts and prayers by Nick Fawcett.Is there a right way to pray? Definitely not. What works for one leaves another cold, so much depending on our background, character, tradition and, above all, our understanding and experience of God. The one essential is that prayer comes from the heart, honestly expressing what we want to say to God. Some find that the only way to do this is through extemporising their own prayers; others find this well-nigh impossible, needing written prayers to help articulate their own thoughts and feelings. Most fall somewhere in the middle, quite happy to pray privately and personally, but finding written prayers a helpful stimulus.This book aims to provide such a stimulus, offering 75 reflective prayers exploring the nature and journey of Christian discipleship. Drawn from various of Nick Fawcett's study books published over the recent years, each is prefaced by a brief passage of Scripture followed by a short introduction, both designed to set the context of the prayer itself. The prayers are conversational in tone, reflecting the fact that God invites us to open our hearts to him as a friend, in the knowledge that his heart is open to us in turn.

Come To Me
A resource for weary Christians and those who care about themFrom his own experience of chronic fatigue syndrome, Raymond Tomkinson demonstrates how weariness, whatever its cause, and the rest it demands can be blessed by God in its own right. He challenges the apparent assumption that strength and busyness are good, weakness and stillness are bad. His aim is to release people from unnecessary burdens of guilt and lack of self-worth. Each chapter examines a different aspect of our perception of strength and weakness and includes follow-up material for reflection, discussion and prayer. The intention is to provide encouragement to all those, sufferers or carers, who need to know that God is at work in our weakness, in our passivity and in our receptivity. Some aspects of our relationship with God can only develop fully if we take advantage of the times when we are 'laid aside' from the bustle and routine of twenty-first century living.

The Heart Of Christmas
In his parables, Jesus used examples of human behaviour to open up to his listeners a deeper understanding of God. Today's world is no less rich in such similes. In this book, Chris Morley, a regular contributor to 'Pause for Thought' on Radio 2's Wake up to Wogan, takes examples of quirky human behaviour and uses them to offer ways into reflecting on God and our response to him. These Advent reflections allow us, in the busy weeks before Christmas, to remind ourselves what it means that God embraced humanity, and rejoice in the Spirit of God which is within us all.
