A Hard Time Praying
People are often reluctant to talk about difficulties with prayer. Perhaps it is like marital relations: it is a private matter between lovers. This book offers, in six sessions, reflections for those who are having a hard time praying. The resource material at the end of each session is written to help individuals and groups to consider the difficulties encountered and to find new ways to overcome them. Hard Time Praying? may also be useful for Christians who have recently undertaken a faith nurture course and who find themselves with new questions about prayer.

For many centuries Christians have found the symbol of the cross to be a source of inspiration.

What Happens When We Pray
Does It Make a difference?Prayers may be formal or informal, carefully composed or on the spur of the moment.They might be in the form of confessions or thanksgivings, and often they are requests made to God on behalf of ourselves or for others.Does prayer change anything and what do our prayers say about the kind of God we believe in?Without shying away from philosophical and theological difficulties posed by the practice of prayer, John Saxbee provides an accessible and ultimately reassuring account of how prayer properly understood enlivens and enriches our relationship to God, our neighbour and the world around us.What Happens When We Pray? is a study with a pastoral purpose, touching on matters which are as emotionally sensitive as they are intellectually intriguing. It is an encouragement to think about what we are doing when we pray and a stimulus to pray with ever more conviction and commitment.

It allows them to understand their story as a people of God.

On The One Road
Behind every good man there is a good woman, an old saying has it, and in the case of Brian Fahy, there are two good women - so the force is definitely with him!In the run of his life Brian was blessed with a good Irish mother, Ellen, and with a lovely Irish/Scots lassie, Margaret. These two women sustained and supported Brian on the long road into the promise of priesthood, through the pain of priesthood, and out into the sunlight and simple joys of love.In telling this story about the road he has travelled, Brian wants to tell other stories too; stories about many of the people he has met along life's highway. The road we travel is the 'One Road', and though the details of our stories may differ in every respect, the human journey is the same. Sometimes it feels like a road to 'God knows where' and we are lost, but we travel the road together and we can help each other to find the way.Brian always wanted to write this story, but he needed a push. That push came in the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Margaret. Brian is good with words, Margaret had said, and so out of love for her and for his mother, he has put these words together.

Paul Cox went into parish ministry in 1990, having been a teacher for 24 years, the last 10 of which he was a chaplain and headmaster of a prep school. For 16 years he served in rural parishes in Canterbury Diocese.

The Cowshed Revolution
Capitalism is in crisisIt has become divorced from moral norms. The Church, which in the past has provided a moral and social framework to guide the 'free market', is perceived to have forfeited the common ground. Yet experiments such as The Big Society cannot work unless the population is motivated to service. So society and the Church are at a tipping point.What is the way forward?Ray Simpson suggests it lies in an increase of Downwardly Mobile people - able Christians who lay down their lives for the common good. He explores fresh thinking and tells the inspiring story of such people, past and present, whose social enterprises, if multiplied, could make all the difference. The international 'Occupy' movement wants the 1 per cent who holds the levers of money and power to relate to the 99 per cent as one community: this book suggests ways in which this can come about.
