A-Z Of Assemblies
Taking a school assembly is an excellent way of sharing Jesus with children, but it can also be a daunting and scary privilege - especially if you have to prepare the assembly from scratch. The assemblies in this book remove this element of stress. They are short, snappy and to the point and introduce children to Jesus in a fun and relevant way. Each assembly has a clearly structured aim, with activities to involve the children in the theme of the assembly. There is appropriate application of the assembly to the Christian faith, including a prayer and suggestions for songs. Every assembly in the book has been tried and tested in a school and is open to adaptation or development to suit the needs of your audience. Suitable for Key Stage 2-3

Come To Me
A resource for weary Christians and those who care about themFrom his own experience of chronic fatigue syndrome, Raymond Tomkinson demonstrates how weariness, whatever its cause, and the rest it demands can be blessed by God in its own right. He challenges the apparent assumption that strength and busyness are good, weakness and stillness are bad. His aim is to release people from unnecessary burdens of guilt and lack of self-worth. Each chapter examines a different aspect of our perception of strength and weakness and includes follow-up material for reflection, discussion and prayer. The intention is to provide encouragement to all those, sufferers or carers, who need to know that God is at work in our weakness, in our passivity and in our receptivity. Some aspects of our relationship with God can only develop fully if we take advantage of the times when we are 'laid aside' from the bustle and routine of twenty-first century living.

The Challenge Of The Lords Prayer
You've said the Lord's Prayer so often that you know it off by heart. But does it still challenge you? Can you truly stand up to the demands of this most holy and beloved of prayers?In his new book, The Challenge of the Lord's Prayer, author John Cox forces us to face the prayer of Jesus head on and not to pray it lightly. He provides valuable insights into its meaning and relevance today, raising important questions to challenge those who have the courage to pray this ancient prayer with a true and living faith.As John says: 'We sometimes think that prayer is all about asking, but in asking for things for ourselves, our very asking challenges us about what we are doing - in relation to God and in relation to others.'John Cox was ordained priest in the Anglican Church in 1968 and has worked as curate and rector of an inner-city ex-slum parish in Birmingham, as well as being Diocesan Director of Ordinands and Post-ordination training. Having retired twice, he now spends his time writing, playing golf and enjoying river cruises.The Challenge of the Lord's Prayer insists that we put God first in our praying and demands that, as we ask God for forgiveness, we consider the needs of others and how we, in turn, forgive them. And it calls us to stand up to the evil in our world today.Click here to view contents

Revelations Of Glory
Saints are not set apart as perfect or sinless, for they have the same weaknesses as all humans, but they are who God has called them to be and in being themselves, they reveal God's glory. Saints are people who work in common union with God and he is seen at work in their lives. This book is to introduce you to some of the people who are heroes of the Church and are revelations of God's glory. We share a common union with them, for we have the same Creator and Redeemer and the same Spirit of God: in God we are one with them.Each celebration of a saint follows the same format: a short introduction to the saint's life, the Scripture readings for the saint's day, which are taken mainly from the Common Worship Lectionary, an opening prayer, intercessions, the peace and a blessing.Together with its companion volume Icons of Glory, this book will encourage you to explore the common union to which we all belong and to discover God's call to you, which is unique. This is a call to be a fellow worker with God and to reveal his glory in your life. To see full contents Click Here

Experiencing God In Unexpected Places
Aimed at a variety of readerships, Experiencing God in Unexpected Places is for those who want to know more about the meaning and significance of the Beatitudes, and to gain a greater understanding of the nature of joy and blessing.The book will also help people who are coming to terms with difficult times, and all those who struggle to understand how we can experience God, his joy and blessing, even in the more negative situations in life - sometimes more so.Patrick Coghlan examines how we are able to deal with the more negative experiences often faced in life; to have a deeper joy, to receive more of God's blessing, and to experience the Triune God (God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit) in new and significant ways eternally. Also, how we can appreciate more fully all the joy and blessings that God showers upon us on a daily basis; though not everyone attributes them to God.Each Beatitude is divided into two halves, which are looked at in alternate chapters. The first half is the challenge of the Beatitude, and the second half is the blessing of the Beatitude. The Appendix at the end of the resource invites and assists the reader to go on a physical journey of prayer, based on the Beatitudes.Contents Chapter 1: Experiencing God in the things that money can't buyChapter 2: The kingdom is like...

Body Language
How do we speak of God who is not physical but spirit? We follow the Bible and use body language. We speak of God walking in the Garden, of talking with prophets and kings. Such body language speaks powerfully about the way we understand God acting in this world and relating to it. This book explores how such symbolism appears in the Bible and what it tells us about God. It also examines the way in which some of Jesus' physical features are described in the Gospels to convey the evangelists' understanding of his distinctive actions.
