Wonderful Worship
An invaluable resource to make Advent and Christmas even more specialThe whole season of Christmas, from Advent to Epiphany, is a wonderful opportunity for the Church to celebrate the birth of Jesus as 'God with us'.Instead of feeling we are battling against the tide and shutting ourselves off from all the festivities, which are increasingly secular, Susan Sayers encourages us to embrace them and fill them with real meaning. In her excellent book of resources for worship in church, outside and at home, for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, the author shows how this can be possible.The resources help to make Advent more spacious and reflective, rather than being caught up in the frantic pre-Christmas secular stress. They also show how we can Christianise many of the pre- and post-Christmas activities, so that these secular events are not extras to be squashed into an already hopelessly busy schedule, but become an integral part of our Christian preparation and reflection.

The Bridge
The Bridge has been born out of a desire to cross the doctrinal and musical divides between churches and to provide leaders with a resource which aims to be imaginative, theologically sound and musically varied. It contains many hymns with which you will be familiar, and alongside their original tunes some brand-new arrangements. It also includes many songs given to us by the powerful outpouring of contemporary songwriters.

A Chequered Legacy is a two-volume study course in which popular author Nick Fawcett explores 'the good, the bad and the ugly' of the Church.Starting in Advent, The Good looks at the positive aspects of the Church, celebrating some of the achievements of Christian believers across the years in terms of building a better world, and asking what their efforts and example might teach us today.In the Lent book, The Bad and the Ugly, Nick Fawcett moves on to faults of the Church; faults that call us to reflect, confess, repent and work as best we can for a better, more enlightened future.We have inherited a chequered church history: a mixture of the inspiring and appalling, wonderful and awful, and we need to learn from both. Through doing so honestly, we can open the way for God to help us become more fully the people he would have us be.Contents• A voice for freedom: William Wilberforce• A voice for justice: The Earl of Shaftesbury• A voice for the sick: Florence Nightingale• voice for the voiceless: Martin Luther King• A voice for peace and reconciliation: Nelson Mandela
