An essential resource for groups and individuals wishing to gain a deeper and broader understanding of Luke's Gospel, the suggestions for further reflection and discussion, and the questions and answers at the end of the final chapter, will transform your understanding of the world Luke was from and the true meaning of his words.

Clothed In Christ
In Colossians 3:12, St Paul tells us to put on those garments which suit God's chosen and beloved people: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12). And yet our own life experiences can dress us somewhat differently. In this course of six sessions, which include in-depth explorations of the theme, discussion questions, group activities, key words and texts, and prayer suggestions, author Raymond Tomkinson explores the Christian journey from innocence, through sin and redemption, to finally being fully clothed in Christ. By examining how we burden ourselves with sin, hurt, sorrow, grief, and withholding forgiveness, this helps us to realise how the redeeming love of Christ can truly change us all.

You'll find short but informative articles written by a wide range of authors who bring their experience and expertise from different denominations and traditions, giving richness to what is offered here. Whether it is matters of information or a matter of people's relationships with God and one another, it remains true that faith matters.

Revelations Of Glory
Saints are not set apart as perfect or sinless, for they have the same weaknesses as all humans, but they are who God has called them to be and in being themselves, they reveal God's glory.

This book is to introduce you to some of the people who are heroes of the Church and are revelations of God's glory. We share a common union with them, for we have the same Creator and Redeemer and the same Spirit of God: in God we are one with them.Each celebration of a saint follows the same format: a short introduction to the saint's life, the Scripture readings for the saint's day, which are taken mainly from the Common Worship Lectionary, an opening prayer, intercessions, the peace and a blessing.Together with its companion volume Icons of Glory, this book will encourage you to explore the common union to which we all belong and to discover God's call to you, which is unique. This is a call to be a fellow worker with God and to reveal his glory in your life. To see full contents Click Here
