The kingdom of God is the kingdom of heaven and is the place where forgiveness is at home. God has already forgiven everything, past, present and to come, and the only question remaining is, can we forgive one another? Forgiveness is truth, revenge is a lie. Forgiveness is a gift, and it is needed by everyone, not just by those we consider to be sinners. In heaven everything will not be corrected, everything will be forgiven.Gerald O'Mahony's insightful and thought-provoking study of forgiveness includes a series of questions based on the individual chapters, ideal for group discussion.

Christ has no body now, but yours. No hands, no feet on earth, but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. St Teresa of Avila.As Christians, we are all challenged by Jesus' final commission to his disciples, to go and make disciples of all nations. It has clearly not yet been accomplished and this is the springboard for Paul Cox's thought-provoking course of Lent reflections in No Body But Yours. Through six sessions, each of which can be followed either as a personal reflection for Lent, or as a group, the sentiments expressed in the prayer by St Teresa of Avila are examined in detail.No Body but Yours is an essential aid for Lent, encouraging us to reflect not just upon how we live our faith, but how this faith is proclaimed and perhaps more importantly, how we can be Christ to and for others.Calling on us all to take more seriously, and with greater personal engagement, the task Jesus has set us, Paul Cox encourages us to examine how we can be more Christlike, both in our own lives and in relation to others. It is a wonderful and daunting challenge, and one which, by our baptism into a life with Jesus, we agree to take up.

The life of Austin Smith shows how practical Christianity can be at one with the most intense and searching theological and philosophical thought. As a priest working with the dispossessed and disempowered - in particular with the black community of inner-city Liverpool - he has transformed lives. Just as transforming has been the effect this work has had on his understanding and experience of God. Over many years he has put on paper the insights gained and the profound questions posed by the ongoing process of spiritual discovery. These never-before-published writings re-examine every aspect of faith, entering into the realms of mysticism as frequently as they plea for re-engagement with the everyday concerns of humanity. A massively important book for all thinking Christians.

This is used to encourage inward reflection on a facet of our own experience, in the light of God's involvement in our lives.
