'Prayer must be the most exposed and vulnerable form of writing,' says Graham Jeffery. 'For while poetry evokes the world or the human spirit, prayer has to wrestle with the difficulty of being human.'In four sections - contemplation of the Gospels, prayers for the Eucharist, prayers for those who face mental suffering and depression, and reflections on being a priest - Graham Jeffery writes from the heights and depths of his own life, revealing in simple but profound language the strength and vulnerability of the human spirit.

Heart to Heart
Heart to Heart - Reflective thoughts and prayers by Nick Fawcett.Is there a right way to pray? Definitely not. What works for one leaves another cold, so much depending on our background, character, tradition and, above all, our understanding and experience of God. The one essential is that prayer comes from the heart, honestly expressing what we want to say to God. Some find that the only way to do this is through extemporising their own prayers; others find this well-nigh impossible, needing written prayers to help articulate their own thoughts and feelings. Most fall somewhere in the middle, quite happy to pray privately and personally, but finding written prayers a helpful stimulus.This book aims to provide such a stimulus, offering 75 reflective prayers exploring the nature and journey of Christian discipleship. Drawn from various of Nick Fawcett's study books published over the recent years, each is prefaced by a brief passage of Scripture followed by a short introduction, both designed to set the context of the prayer itself. The prayers are conversational in tone, reflecting the fact that God invites us to open our hearts to him as a friend, in the knowledge that his heart is open to us in turn.

Looking Through Jesus
In 47 daily Lenten reflections on readings from Luke's Gospel, beginning on Ash Wednesday, Alan Bartlett examines how we see Jesus.As we say in the creeds, Jesus was both truly God and truly human but,Alan Bartlett argues, Jesus remains a bit baffling and so remains distant. However, if we are prepared to spend time with the Jesus presented to us in the Gospels, looking slowly and honestly, then we will meet him, experience his deep humanity and move through that to see God in him and so meet God in him.

Lord, I'Ve A Few Questions
A Lifetime's irrepressible prayersDon't read this book if you know all the answers, have an awesome and perfect prayer life, and spend each and every day knowing exactly what is God's purpose for you and your life.However, if you're happier with questions, have the kind of prayer life that occasionally needs putting on life support, and find yourself often wondering what's happening tomorrow, never mind next month or year, then why not read on?From life as a teenager, through college, then out into the wider world of work, marriage and children, this collection of old and new material, written by David Gatward, author of the bestselling Can We Talk, Lord?, spans the past 25 years of his life. It may not be filled with life-changing insights and earth-shattering wisdom, but it is real. And that, when it comes to it, is what God is actually really interested in: wherever you are, and whatever it is that you're doing, your creator wants you to share with him what's on your mind. So, what's stopping you?ContentsMy FamilyLord, I've a Few QuestionsLord, Are You There?ConfusedAlonePrayerParentsI WantMemoriesWhere Am I?Saying SorryHa! Ha!
