The Cowshed Revolution
Capitalism is in crisisIt has become divorced from moral norms. The Church, which in the past has provided a moral and social framework to guide the 'free market', is perceived to have forfeited the common ground. Yet experiments such as The Big Society cannot work unless the population is motivated to service. So society and the Church are at a tipping point.What is the way forward?Ray Simpson suggests it lies in an increase of Downwardly Mobile people - able Christians who lay down their lives for the common good. He explores fresh thinking and tells the inspiring story of such people, past and present, whose social enterprises, if multiplied, could make all the difference. The international 'Occupy' movement wants the 1 per cent who holds the levers of money and power to relate to the 99 per cent as one community: this book suggests ways in which this can come about.

Hiding In God
Illness, whether physical or mental, can be a very difficult time, but it can also be a time when we discover God in new and surprising ways. God is always looking for ways to draw us closer, and what better time than when we are so vulnerable and in need of all the love that God wants to give us? In Hiding in God, Annie Heppenstall has drawn on her own personal experience of illness. She provides a rich resource for praying and reflecting on health concerns, both physical and emotional, in a gentle way that can help us find moments of God's peace even in the midst of pain or anxiety.

On The One Road
Behind every good man there is a good woman, an old saying has it, and in the case of Brian Fahy, there are two good women - so the force is definitely with him!In the run of his life Brian was blessed with a good Irish mother, Ellen, and with a lovely Irish/Scots lassie, Margaret. These two women sustained and supported Brian on the long road into the promise of priesthood, through the pain of priesthood, and out into the sunlight and simple joys of love.In telling this story about the road he has travelled, Brian wants to tell other stories too; stories about many of the people he has met along life's highway. The road we travel is the 'One Road', and though the details of our stories may differ in every respect, the human journey is the same. Sometimes it feels like a road to 'God knows where' and we are lost, but we travel the road together and we can help each other to find the way.Brian always wanted to write this story, but he needed a push. That push came in the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Margaret. Brian is good with words, Margaret had said, and so out of love for her and for his mother, he has put these words together.

Heart Of The Bible
Storytelling is a vital part of our faith: people passing on the stories of their belief by word of mouth or in written form. Written in child-friendly language, this book follows that tradition, enabling children to hear the stories of their faith as engaging and interesting accounts of real events and real people. Key events and people have been selected and arranged so that, in the Old Testament, children can understand the developing story of the people of God and, in the New Testament, they can easily access different aspects of the life and ministry of Jesus. This is an ideal book for reading at home, for church and also for school, where it gives children ready access to the stories they need to underpin their work in RE lessons. It allows them to understand their story as a people of God.

Roll Away The Stone

We need bright purposes every day of our lives. We need to know we are going somewhere.
