From Georgie Tennant The God Who Sees You is a series of 30 reflections to help us overcome the uneasy feeling that plagues so many of us: that we are unseen, unacknowledged, unloved, misunderstood. As Georgie Tennant takes us on a journey from the Old Testament through to the New, she examines the stories of a variety of Biblical characters - some household names and some unheard of - who felt these things too. As they encountered a God who saw them, understood them and called them higher, so too can you. Each reflection takes the reader deeply into the Biblical narrative and offers a suggestion for a song to listen to, connected to each theme, as well as questions for personal reflection to help you on your journey to feeling seen, valued and secure. "For any Christian who isn't constantly riding on the crest of a faith-wave (hint: that's all of us), Georgie's devotional is balm to the soul. A spiritual gem to return to whenever we're feeling invisible or insignificant: for this is the God who sees."- Lucy Rycroft Specifications Book Format - Paperback Published -  March 2023 Weight -  230g Page Count -   145 Dimensions -19.8 x 12.8 x 1.2 cm ISBN - 9781838581572 ISBN 10 -  183858157X

By Joy Margetts Advent is a special time. We look forward with expectancy to Christmas. We get excited by lights and decorations and the joy on children’s faces. But this busy season can also find us with barely a moment to pause and think about the real reason why Christmas is so special. Christ Illuminated contains 24 short daily devotions designed to help us take time, in the busyness of Advent, to focus on the One who is at the heart of it all. Each day it looks at a name or description of Jesus, taken from the Bible. We see Him as the Good Shepherd, the Light of the World, the Cornerstone, and much more. With questions to ponder, suggested prayers and further reading, this little book will take you on a personal journey of discovery, in seeing Jesus for who He really is this Christmas.   ‘Rooted in Scripture and with an engaging, easy to read style’ - Tracey Williamson ‘A casket full of treasures’ - Rachel Yarworth ‘A refuge amidst the bustle and noise’ - Jenny Sanders ‘If you desire to go deeper with Jesus this is an incredible tool’ - Anne Calver

Maybe you have reached a point in your spiritual life where you are beginning to feel tired, stressed, discouraged, lacking motivation, and possibly even distant from God. You might be feeling completely wrung out. Perhaps the busyness of life is placing pressure on you, preventing you from having the opportunity to rest, relax, and more importantly, to enjoy being with God. And, of course, busyness comes in many different forms, for example: vocational, parenting, volunteering, being a carer . . . and even in terms of church commitments. Or perhaps you are dealing with, or recovering from trauma or crisis in your life. Patrick Coghlan’s new eBook ‘Rooted In God’ explores all these subjects in a spiritual and helpful way to see us all through these turbulent times.

Like a realityTV show's all-seeing camera, the Bible connects us intimately with Hannah, showing us her tears and the tensions at home. It captures every word of this faithful woman's spontaneous song of praise.The 30 meditations in this book encourage you to spend a month in Hannah's company Each day links an aspect of Hannah's story with a Bible reading, which is accompanied by a short reflection and a prayer.It is said that we can't really know a person until we have walked a mile in their shoes: why not spend a month walking in Hannah's faithful footsteps, to see where she and God might lead you?
