All Age Everything (Revised) *Green Cover*
There are many differing opinions on children and their ability to worship. Some churches aim for frequent all-age services as their way of encouraging children to encounter God, whilst others rely on the groups that children are sent to during the service. Like all areas of ministry with children, all-age worship is not easy - there are barriers to face, mistakes to make, and lessons to learn. This revised edition of All-Age Everything is full of ideas and suggestions to make all-age worship a true inter generational worship experience. It looks at every part of an all-age service, from how to go about the initial planning, followed by tips for welcomes and beginnings through to endings and blessings. The ideas can be adapted to suit your own church setting, but most of all they make meeting God fun for the entire church family, however young or old.

God Speaking
Communication is one of the most high-profile features of our modern life. There have never been so many ways of being in touch. The technological media for communication are becoming ever more sophisticated, 'smart' and widely available. But they can be a mixed blessing. Advent is an opportune time to consider this vital facet of human experience and to do so in the light of a belief in God.This study course is intended as a way in to doing just that. It explores what it might mean to become friends and followers of the God of Jesus Christ, the supreme communicator. Its focus for that exploration is the Letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament. For Hebrews brings us face to face with a Jesus Christ who 'is the same yesterday, today and for ever' (Hebrews 13:8) and who constantly invites our response.

Credible Witnesses
John's Gospel includes a broad spectrum of witnesses to Jesus, whose wide-ranging responses and stories are an attempt to persuade audiences of their points of view on Jesus, which range from positive to negative. The evangelist wants his readers to become more confident in their faith, hence his desire to tell a credible story (or series of stories) about Jesus.Credible Witnesses follows John's lead by allowing many of his characters to speak about Jesus by telling their stories. This involves imagination and even conjecture at times. In each of the chapters of this book, a character's testimony is illuminated with some background information, before going on to show how John uses the testimony as part of the witness of his Gospel as a whole. Each chapter ends with some reflections that help to draw John's Gospel into the present. Contents John the EvangelistJohn the BaptistThe mother of JesusNicodemusThe Samaritan womanThe royal officialThe paralysed manThe hungry man in the large crowdThe woman brought before JesusThe man born blindMary, the sister of LazarusPhilipJudasCaiaphasPontius PilateJoseph of ArimatheaMary MagdaleneThomasSimon PeterThe Beloved DiscipleConclusion: The Abiding Spirit of JesusAppendix: The Poetry of Wisdom Specifications Format - Paperback Published - November 2016 Weight - 295g Page count - 164 Dimensions - 154 x 234 x 11mm ISBN - 9781848678750 ISBN 10 - 1848678754

Echoes Of Eternity
Here is a further collection of new hymn texts by Martin Leckebusch, whose writing is finding a place in many hymnals both in the UK and beyond. He writes in the tradition of the classic hymn writers but uses fresh, contemporary language to explore the Christian faith for the twenty-first century. These words are mostly set to well-known and widely published tunes, making them easily accessible to congregations for use in worship.This latest selection comes as the author passes the milestone of thirty years writing hymns; his work draws inspiration from a wide range of sources while always remaining true to Scripture. The book is made highly usable by the inclusion of Biblical, thematic and other indexes.As the author says: 'Hymns - both those from past generations and those by contemporary writers - remain an important element in my own Christian walk, and one of the ways my faith is nurtured and sustained. I hope that readers of this collection will find here insights and words to encourage and strengthen their own faith.'
