Prayers for Peace and Friendship
From Gaynor Cobb With verses from the Bible as the starting point, Gaynor Cobb reflects on the worldwide message of love and friendship sent by Jesus Christ through his disciples. Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 16 for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, this collection of Bible verses, powerful prayers and carefully curated reflections aims to motivate the reader to consider new ways to support individuals and communities as we strive for friendship and peace. Within the collection are prayers for places: Ukraine, Africa, The Holy Land and the Middle East, as well as prayers for the displaced, strangers and the children of war. The book also looks at special places and people associated with peace as it considers the ways in which we find our own peace within. Prayers for Peace and Friendship also considers our humanity and the way in which all people should be treated with love and dignity, preserving human rights and ending persecution and oppression. People and nations are invited to embrace the peace of Christ through friendship, love and human rights. Sales will help to support ChildAid to Eastern Europe in their 50th anniversary year. ChildAid works with Christian partners providing both short and long-term programmes to help families, orphans, disabled children and young people. Therapy, rehabilitation programmes and children's summer camps are taking place despite the war situation. In addition, food, hygiene products, clothes and shelter have been provided in Ukraine and Moldova. Our prayers for peace are important and we know that there will be a great need for reconstruction and support, even when the peace we hope for becomes a reality.

I love that it uses Easy Read as well to simplify it.'Heidi Crowter, Advocate for Down Syndrome 'Telling the Big Story is a fantastic resource for communicating just that: the big story of the Bible. Everything you need to tell that story in 60 minutes in a local church context, involving the differing gifts of an entire congregation, is here. While the script itself is impressive in its accessibility, the surrounding resources contain answers to those inevitable questions one asks when using someone else’s idea—and believe me, that’s rare!

Knowing & Growing
Lent is a time for change; a time for cutting back, pruning and growing in strength so that we can live more fruitful lives. Just as with a well - tended garden, we have to work at ourselves to have a full and productive life. This book is for those who want to explore the way to abundant life, for those who seek to know Christ and the power of his resurrection.In this 8-week course, taking us from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday in a series of one hour sessions for group study, David Adam shares with us a method which follows the Church's ancient tradition of prayer and reading Scripture called Lectio Divina, or 'Holy Reading'. Each chapter includes suggested resources, hymns and prayers to help illustrate a theme to be discussed and reflected upon, together with a reading from scripture of one of the parables in the Gospels, carefully chosen because of the simple pictures the create while also exposing up to deep mysteries and challenges. Every time we extend ourselves to reach beyond the obvious and the immediate, we are reaching towards a higher awareness and potential and the abundant life God wants us to live.ContentsIntrodutionWEEK 1: Ash Wednesday Don't Give Up!WEEK 2 Fruit GrowingWEEK 3 Where Do Weeds Come From?WEEK 4 The Dangers of Jerry - BuildersWEEK 5 Use it or Lose itWEEK 6 At HomeWEEK 7 Scorned and RejectedWEEK 8: Easter Day Love Is Come Again

Bethlehems Road
The coming of Jesus changed our world forever. During the season of Advent, we best prepare for the arrival of Jesus, the Coming One, by keeping our hearts and minds open and making room for him. Yet we allow things to get in the way.In this collection of 40 daily reflections for Advent, author Ray Simpson first outlines the roadblocks, such as materialism and clutter, that need to be cleared away so that we are ready for Jesus' arrival. Next, he identifies the signposts – prophecies, intuitions, stirrings – that help us to travel in the direction of what or who is coming. With these signposts clear, he then explores how we should prepare ourselves for the arrival of Jesus. And finally, Ray considers glimpses of glory – fresh expressions of the Light of the World.This meditative and enlightening approach to journeying through Advent will be an invaluable accompaniment to your own preparation for the arrival of Jesus.
