Scandal Of Christian Disunion
There is nothing new about divisions in the Church, and all of us could tell stories of Christians faced with interdenominational tensions. The fact remains that the Church has, especially today, an absolute duty to proclaim the gospel; but we always need to check that it is indeed the gospel that we are trying to preach. For we are fallible and sinful and we can get it wrong.The first chapter of Nicholas King's book considers the scandal of Christian disunion, and in particular the mystery whereby perfectly good people seem content to live with the scandal. Then he looks at each of the 27 documents that constitute the New Testament and demonstrates that the writers were well aware of the possibility of divisions in the Church and that they had a way of coping with the divisions, by keeping their eyes on God and on Jesus.The final part of the book considers one particular issue that divides Christians of the Roman Catholic Church from other Christians, namely the role given to Mary the mother of Jesus, and in particular to the two teachings about her Immaculate Conception and her Assumption, and whether the Catholic position represents an unbridgeable gap for Christians from other traditions.ContentsThe mystery of anti-ecumenismPaul and the Paulines on divisionsDivisions in Paul's Corinthian and Roman correspondenceHandling divisions in ActsThe Johannine LiteratureHandling divisions in Mark's GospelDivisions in Matthew's GospelDivisions in Luke's GospelRevelation and divisionsDivisions in the Catholic EpistlesIs Mary an obstacle to ecumenical progress?

Deep Calls To Deep
Modern-day life may bear no resemblance to the experiences of the Psalmists, yet basic human nature and emotions don't change. We can easily identify with the range of feelings expressed, as the Psalmists poured out their hearts to God in sincere, earnest prayer, praise and worship. God has much to say to us through the Psalms and their timeless poetry gives us a language to express ourselves to God in return.In this inspiring meditative collection, Linda Ottewell has chosen an extract from a Psalm as a springboard for her thoughts and ideas, which are presented as a short reflection and then rounded off with a prayer or poem, a verse or two from Scripture, or part of a well-loved hymn.It's a book to dip into when you have a few minutes. You'll find a variety of themes, including upbeat praise and worship, crying out to God for help in times of trouble, admitting doubts and fears, expressing an intense longing for God, and confessing sins.Our prayers should be vibrant and lead us into the very heart of God. Here are reflections to encourage and edify, to help you draw nearer to God and go deeper with him.Margaret Rizza writes:These beautiful reflections on the Psalms draw us right into the heart of Scripture, giving helpful insights into our ordinary, everyday lives. Deep Calls to Deep is a book which will inspire and awaken us to new horizons and this will reflect the way we go about dealing with the very ordinary things which we encounter every day of our lives. The thoughts and reflections after the extracts of the chosen Psalms are very helpful and constructive, allowing us to see anew some of the very difficult things arising from a culture which poses many things which need much reflection.This is a book of great depth and will be a great blessing and resource to many people seeking a closer relationship with our Creator God. "Spiritual espresso - a shot of strong, stimulating spiritual reflection to start the day!" Don Egan, Director of RSVP Trust

Prayers Of Love & Peace
Jesus gave us his peace and commanded that we love one another. The prayers in this book, which draw on our Celtic heritage, invite God into our lives and hearts, our relationships, work and service. They movingly ask him to kindle in us the flame of love, to burn away the dross and enable us to shine for ever in God's presence, so that every thought, prayer and action exudes his peace, love and compassion.

Contemporary Reflections For Prayer & Worship Year A
In the UK today we are fast losing that almost instinctive respect for the Bible. Yet in the Bible are words of eternal life; words which on every encounter seem to reveal, touch or illuminate something fresh. Ultimately the Bible is uniquely able to inform and direct every aspect of our lives. Sheila Walker uses a lively, contemporary style - sometimes subversive, sometimes unorthodox - to get to the heart of the Common Worship readings for Year A. Coming at it sideways, she has the ability to make us see things in a startling new light. The reflections can be used in several ways: as a weekly aid to studying the Bible, as an accompaniment to the Church of England's weekly Common Worship readings, as a basis for discussion or simply to dip into to encourage individual reflections.
