    Do you ever feel it's all got a bit too much? No matter how hard you work, you feel you haven't done enough and it's your fault?Anyone in a position of leadership is likely to have felt like this at some time. If the feelings persist and become worse, pressure can lead to stress, breakdown and burnout, an illness every bit as real as physical illness, only more hidden and more difficult to admit to.Speaking from his experience of leadership in the church, John Cox tackles the subject of stress - related depression in this guide to basic principles about how to stay healthy as a leader and how to offer healthy leadership. Drawing on some of the acknowledged and researched ideas of the experts, he puts those ideas into the context of the Christian faith and of people we meet in the Bible.Contents About the authorIntroductionChapter 1: How are you feeling?What kind of illness?Physical selfEmotional, thinking selfSpiritual selfSocial selfChapter 2: A matter of timeGreat if you are feeling fineBut what if you are not?Pressures of timeTime is elasticBlameWorking harder and harderLove yourself and have a breakHow do you spend your time?Chapter 3: A little help from your friendsReceiving the callExcusesThe stressed leader and his work consultantThe game of 'But'Handing over and letting goChapter 4: Getting personalRelationshipNot everyone loves youI, It, You and ThouTricky things, relationshipsLonging to be lovedHaving favourites can still be fairThe relationship with yourselfPeterThree strenghs, three vulnerabilitiesUndermining fearFailureInflated fearOn your feetChapter 5: But I tell you...Be good at receivingGuilty is goodBe not perfectThank God for a crisisChapter 6: I am a worm and no manSophie's taleCharlie's storyThe search for approvalThe fear of blameCompensatory ploysChange of heartRecovering the 'old' youA proper self-loveWe all need GOBsChapter 7: The good leader - the good shepherdOld fashionedThe sheherd in the BibleLeaders as sheperdsGod as shepherdThe Good ShepherdSix points to think about:OpennessRecognitionGuideCatalystSelf-givingVisionChapter 8: The ABC for healthy leaderHealthy lettersLetters to avoidConclusion

    Excuses and reasons why people don't go to churchPopular author John Cox offers suggestions why fewer people are going to church these days and where the church needs to take action.In the first part of the book he looks at the main reasons people give - some of them may even be just excuses but should not be ignored by churches.The second part of the book considers the impact of the consumerist society and the scientific revolution on people's beliefs and behaviour.The book concludes with insights from the incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection that offer ways forward and reminders of what must not be lost.

    Aimed at a variety of readerships, Experiencing God in Unexpected Places is for those who want to know more about the meaning and significance of the Beatitudes, and to gain a greater understanding of the nature of joy and blessing.The book will also help people who are coming to terms with difficult times, and all those who struggle to understand how we can experience God, his joy and blessing, even in the more negative situations in life - sometimes more so.Patrick Coghlan examines how we are able to deal with the more negative experiences often faced in life; to have a deeper joy, to receive more of God's blessing, and to experience the Triune God (God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit) in new and significant ways eternally. Also, how we can appreciate more fully all the joy and blessings that God showers upon us on a daily basis; though not everyone attributes them to God.Each Beatitude is divided into two halves, which are looked at in alternate chapters. The first half is the challenge of the Beatitude, and the second half is the blessing of the Beatitude. The Appendix at the end of the resource invites and assists the reader to go on a physical journey of prayer, based on the Beatitudes.Contents Chapter 1: Experiencing God in the things that money can't buyChapter 2: The kingdom is like...

    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. Saints are people who work in common union with God and he is seen at work in their lives. 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

    In a world bursting with sorrow, Christians are called to be hope-filled. This is a book full of hope. The Gospel is good news and this book is filled with good news. In this book we discover how God reveals himself through his pilgrim people. As pilgrims we need to discard much of our heavy baggage and constraints. We need to travel light. When we do this we discover that the Body of Christ is living and moving. Jesus is always on the move. He strides across the pages of history. He calls us to run with him. His pace may be fast. 24/7 Christianity helps us to focus on the real nature of Christ present with his people. Michael Apichella reasserts that God is real, not imaginary, that he is present, not absent and that he is speaking, not silent.

    Inspired by the healing ministry of Jesus, as described in the Gospels, Norman Renshaw provides here an eight-session course on health and healing. Norman's simple directness, and his carefully expressed thoughts on healing and wholeness, will encourage all who seek to allow God to become a reality in their lives. Equally of value for both group and individual study, and with practical suggestions and examples of how to let God shape our behaviour and attitudes in daily living, Living with God is not for those who wish simply to talk about faith, but those who wish to live it.

    In this challenging and thought provoking book, Ray Simpson unpacks the sort of probing and uncomfortable questions that some evangelicals, charismatics and others are asking and shows how, in today's renascent Celtic spirituality, there is a way of remaining true to fundamentals and of being at ease with people from diverse, even opposing backgrounds.

They are not intended to give final answers to the problems but seek to act as a stimulus to further and better informed reflection.

It reflects on the sources of hope and wrestles with the concern for a hope that is not just a set of clichÁs but which is engaging and realistic, suggesting practical ways of nurturing hope in those we care for. Russell Herbert argues that resurrection is central to Christian hope, drawing on the insights of psychology,nursing science and Jurgen Moltmann's theology of hope. The book integrates theological reflection with a number of case studies and practical suggestions for clergy and pastoral carers.

    Raymond Tomkinson seeks to contribute to debate on the subject and to offer a language for the articulation of God -given ambition for the world. Exploring the relationship between vocation and ambition, he teases out the difference between laudable ambition and self-serving ambition. He hopes to make the subject less unattractive and to demonstrate the laudable ambition is a valuable asset and resource to the Church for the building of the Kingdom.For personal reflection, although the book contains sections titled 'Pause for reflection', helpful to individuals or as an aid to group discussion.

    For many centuries Christians have found the symbol of the cross to be a source of inspiration. Reflections in this book explore the less well-known cross which depicts Christ reigning as king of heaven and earth.Known as the Christus Rex, this depiction is rich in symbolism and tells much more of the story of Jesus' life, suffering, death, rising and triumphant return to heaven than any other form of the cross.The message of the Christus Rex is explored; each chapter focusing on one of a number of traditional and contemporary theological and spiritual insights.Christ The King - Icon Of Love would be suitable for individuals but also for groups meeting regularly. At the end of each chapter, there are suggestions for discussions and for prayer and a verse of a specially written hymn.
