The Helplessness of God
Many people are uncomfortable with the way in which leadership has been exercised within Christianity, and in this book Nicholas King looks at what the Bible tells us about the exercise of authority. The message is that human beings, with the exception of Jesus, always get it wrong, unless they are prepared to 'lead by listening' or exercise authority as an act of loving service. For the only absolute authority is God.Why speak of 'the helplessness of God'? Because God is voluntarily dependent on our response, helpless until we make our decision, and will not force us to choose our own good. God's love is never tyrannical, always utterly respectful of human freedom. That must be the way ahead for authority in the Church. Contents About the Author Introduction - Authority Part 1 - The Old Testament Evidence Part 2 - The Shape of Jesus' Life Part 3 - Leadership by Listening Afterword - Discernment Specifications Book Format - Paperback Published - 2014 Weight - 277g Dimensions - 149 x 211 x 13 mm ISBN - 9781848677159

The Art Of Bible Reading
The Art of Bible Reading is designed to introduce 11 to 14-year-olds to the Bible through the exploration of eight significant biblical narratives. Over 12 lessons, these narratives are explored alongside paintings by the artist Brian J. Turner. These paintings illustrate the texts in a quirky, contemporary and thought provoking style. The Art of Bible Reading will: increase biblical literacy and familiarity with both individual biblical narratives and the story of salvation that runs through the Bible as a whole; introduce different ways in which biblical narratives are interpreted within Christian and other traditions; encourage reflection on how Christian communities are shaped by their telling of the Bible's story; give licence for personal engagement with, and response to, the biblical narratives from faith-based or secular perspectives. Each lesson in The Art of Bible Reading is organised around four phases of learning - encountering narrative; interpreting narrative; understanding narrative in community contexts; and reflecting on narratives of self and others - and involves the completion of a wide range of interactive, creative and stimulating learning activities.

Contemporary Reflections For Prayer & Worship Year A
In the UK today we are fast losing that almost instinctive respect for the Bible. Yet in the Bible are words of eternal life; words which on every encounter seem to reveal, touch or illuminate something fresh. Ultimately the Bible is uniquely able to inform and direct every aspect of our lives. Sheila Walker uses a lively, contemporary style - sometimes subversive, sometimes unorthodox - to get to the heart of the Common Worship readings for Year A. Coming at it sideways, she has the ability to make us see things in a startling new light. The reflections can be used in several ways: as a weekly aid to studying the Bible, as an accompaniment to the Church of England's weekly Common Worship readings, as a basis for discussion or simply to dip into to encourage individual reflections.
