Years of helping people with their mental and emotional health have taught Philip Eley that there are no quick fixes and there are no solutions which work for everyone. He presents here an empathic, realistic approach to mental health and what the Bible has to say on the subject. Be Comforted is a meditation on the seven stages of grief, detailing how the Bible can help us in each of these stages. The author shows how the Bible addresses mental health with a whole rainbow of approaches. There’s a place for positive thinking but also for trusting God with our difficulties and engaging with more complicated and nuanced references, such as laments, times when God hides his face, writers who wrestled with God and expressed their negative emotions.

Jesus' cries from the cross offer lasting hope to all who look to him. They were, and still are, famous last words!Death, not space, is the final frontier. It takes no prisoners. There is no reprieve for good behaviour. Money can't buy a way out. Its shadow looms over all humanity. Shrouded in mystery, the thought of it leaves most of us overwhelmed with fear. If the short-sighted solution is not to think about it, is there anyone who has faced death, lived to tell the tale and can show us the way through?For centuries the words of one man have given lasting hope to all those facing the ultimate challenge that death poses. His name is Jesus. The Bible says that God sent him to set free all those who were overwhelmed by their fear of death. He claimed that anyone who put their trust in him, and in what he said, would never die. Over the centuries, since he made that promise, millions of people have taken him at his word.Were they right to do so? Can we? Especially as, bizarrely, not long after Jesus made that statement he himself died, crucified on a Roman cross! My conviction is yes.In the six hours it took for him to die, Jesus didn't say much. Yet what he did say was profound. His seven 'cries from the cross' provide answers to humanity's deep need for forgiveness, security and belonging. They fill the human heart with confidence, that when we close our eyes on this life God will take us home. To prove that he meant what he said, Jesus rose from the dead.

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.

Based on the traditional hymn 'O come, O come Emmanuel', John Cox's Advent course provides the opportunity for a reality check: the reality of who we are and what our world is, the reality of our hopes and fears. It encourages us to look afresh at the reality of Jesus, the One who comes and ask how much he is really a part of our lives.As we look forward at Advent, this book encourages us to look in other directions as well: to look around at those who are lost and alienated, at outcasts and refugees; to look within us and within the world; to look up to find hope and aspiration; to look with gratitude; and to look with the eyes of loving response as we meet with Christ, the One we long for, the One who we believe comes to meet our needs and those of our world.This short course of six sessions is intended for use by small groups but could equally be helpful for individual use in setting a framework for private study, devotion and reflection.ContentsAbout the authorIntroductionAdventWreaths and candlesThe Great AntiphonsLookingHow to use this bookThe sessionsLeadersMusic suggestionsSession one - God's welcome to allSession two - FreedomSession three - Light in the darknessSession four - Key of DavidSession five - Lord Almighty, the giver of the LawSession six - Emmanuel, God with us

Communication is one of the most high-profile features of our modern life. There have never been so many ways of being in touch. The technological media for communication are becoming ever more sophisticated, 'smart' and widely available. But they can be a mixed blessing. Advent is an opportune time to consider this vital facet of human experience and to do so in the light of a belief in God.This study course is intended as a way in to doing just that. It explores what it might mean to become friends and followers of the God of Jesus Christ, the supreme communicator. Its focus for that exploration is the Letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament. For Hebrews brings us face to face with a Jesus Christ who 'is the same yesterday, today and for ever' (Hebrews 13:8) and who constantly invites our response.

Do you ever feel it's all got a bit too much? No matter how hard you work, you feel you haven't done enough and it's your fault?Anyone in a position of leadership is likely to have felt like this at some time. If the feelings persist and become worse, pressure can lead to stress, breakdown and burnout, an illness every bit as real as physical illness, only more hidden and more difficult to admit to.Speaking from his experience of leadership in the church, John Cox tackles the subject of stress - related depression in this guide to basic principles about how to stay healthy as a leader and how to offer healthy leadership. Drawing on some of the acknowledged and researched ideas of the experts, he puts those ideas into the context of the Christian faith and of people we meet in the Bible.Contents About the authorIntroductionChapter 1: How are you feeling?What kind of illness?Physical selfEmotional, thinking selfSpiritual selfSocial selfChapter 2: A matter of timeGreat if you are feeling fineBut what if you are not?Pressures of timeTime is elasticBlameWorking harder and harderLove yourself and have a breakHow do you spend your time?Chapter 3: A little help from your friendsReceiving the callExcusesThe stressed leader and his work consultantThe game of 'But'Handing over and letting goChapter 4: Getting personalRelationshipNot everyone loves youI, It, You and ThouTricky things, relationshipsLonging to be lovedHaving favourites can still be fairThe relationship with yourselfPeterThree strenghs, three vulnerabilitiesUndermining fearFailureInflated fearOn your feetChapter 5: But I tell you...Be good at receivingGuilty is goodBe not perfectThank God for a crisisChapter 6: I am a worm and no manSophie's taleCharlie's storyThe search for approvalThe fear of blameCompensatory ploysChange of heartRecovering the 'old' youA proper self-loveWe all need GOBsChapter 7: The good leader - the good shepherdOld fashionedThe sheherd in the BibleLeaders as sheperdsGod as shepherdThe Good ShepherdSix points to think about:OpennessRecognitionGuideCatalystSelf-givingVisionChapter 8: The ABC for healthy leaderHealthy lettersLetters to avoidConclusion
