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

In this selection of fourteen readings, reflections and prayers, Nick Fawcett highlights some of his most unforgettable passages in the Gospels. Drawn from his book Daily Prayer and from three of his Fawcett Bible Studies, here are readings to encourage, renew and inspire.INTRODUCTIONSome passages of the Bible stand out in the memory, don't they? While the whole of Scripture is important, neglected at our peril, certain verses capture our imagination or speak to us in a way that few others can begin to. Who can forget the words of the 23rd psalm, the parables of Jesus, or the wonderful teaching of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 on the gift of love? These are just some of the countless passages to have encouraged, comforted, strengthened and inspired Christians across the centuries.We must, of course, beware of being too selective when it comes to reading the Bible, or we will wind up avoiding whatever might challenge our particular viewpoint, thus effectively closing our ears to anything that God might wish to say to us. He has an uncanny knack of speaking through the most unlikely of verses, stretching our horizons and disturbing the comfortable status quo. On the other hand, well-loved verses can remind us of the underlying realities of the gospel, offering reassurance in times of doubt, support in times of challenge and hope in times of despair. Some, indeed, become so familiar to us that they seem almost like old friends. We may even know them off by heart, yet their power to challenge, inspire and encourage remains undiminished, God continuing to speak through them in new and wonderful ways.In this short compilation I have drawn upon my book Daily Prayer and various volumes of my Bible Study series to offer brief reflections on 15 unforgettable passages from the Gospels, each supplemented by a simple closing prayer. The selection is inevitably a personal one, but I suspect many of the passages I have chosen will also feature among your own personal favourites. It is my hope that they will speak as powerfully to you as they have to me.Nick FawcettContents Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakersMatthew 6:19-21 Treasure in heavenMatthew 6:25-33 The lilies of the fieldMatthew 7:24-27 Wise and foolish buildersMark 4:2-9 Sowing the seedMark 9:15-24 Faith and doubtMark 14:3-6 An affair of the heartLuke 10:29-37 The Good SamaritanLuke 10:38-42 Martha and MaryLuke 15:18-24 The lost sonLuke 21:1-4 The widow's offeringJohn 3:16 God so loved the worldJohn 8:31b-32 The truth that sets us freeJohn 10:10 You shall!John 14:27 A peace that passes understanding

Many RE teachers find it difficult to integrate learning about the Eastern religions, and in particular Hinduism with its amazing internal diversity. Primary Hinduism presents a comprehensive and modern version of Hinduism in line with the non-statutory framework for RE from a Hindu perspective. Through stories, illustrations and fun classroom activities it provides an ideal introduction to Hinduism by examining the variations between and within religions. Each chapter concludes with a summary that distinguishes between learning about and learning from religion. Most importantly, Primary Hinduism promotes a greater understanding of how beliefs guide actions, what they mean to those that hold them and how they are relevant to pupils' lives.
