Rejoicing In The Year
We live in a world of rhythms and seasons. Each day has its sunrise and sunset, its day and its night: each year has its spring, summer, autumn and winter. The services in this book aim to give a rhythm to the year that is based on the Church's teaching and helps to keep us in touch with the complex patterns of ourselves and the world around us. They focus on the major festivals of the Church year, with opportunities for morning and evening prayer as well as for themed occasions such as birth and in times of darkness. In all our worship we affirm that God is always with us, he never leaves us: in his love he enfolds us. Rejoice, for the Lord is here and his presence is with us. The material in the book has been drawn from Candle Prayers, Rejoicing in Newness of Life, Welcoming the Light, The Way of the Cross and Remember War, Make Peace.

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.

Faith Matters
A comprehensive introduction to Christianity and Christian faith. The title of this book is intentionally and provocatively ambiguous. Faith is more than matters of fact. It involves relationship and trust, a belief in and not simply a belief that. For those who are interested in matters of faith, or those just enquiring, here is a valuable introduction to all aspects of Christianity and Christian faith in a brief and accessible form. 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.

Cross Examined
The Crucified and Resurrection Christ are icons, objects of worship and veneration, and our understanding of them cannot be separated from their place in scripture, liturgy and devotion. In them we find Christ looking at us, disturbing us with questions which confront us, out institutions, relationships, self-image and out inner sense of being.This book addresses not only what we ask of Scripture, but what scripture asks of us. In investigating the Cross and the Resurrection, it is we who are cross-examined. In them we seek to glimpse something of the truth God has revealed and through them we hope to discover something more of the mystery which is ourselves.
