Reflections In The Bauble
As you journey through the period of Advent and prepare to celebrate Christmas Day, do the decorations on the tree reflect a house of peace and joy or are they more likely to reflect the stress and turmoil that often surrounds this time? This course will be addressing some of the concerns that come about during this period, such as dealing with temptations and needs, tackling the expectations of others and coping with suffering. It will offer tools to help individuals creatively explore how they are personally affected by these issues and space to search for what Jesus offers in the tensions, busyness and suffering of everyday life.

Candle Prayers
Light has long been a symbol of power and hope, a reminder of the abiding presence, peace and love of God; of triumph over darkness. The services in this book take inspiration from the many different ways candlelighting has been used over the centuries for devotion and thanksgiving. There are services for special occasions including Advent, Titles of the Christ (the 'O Antiphons'), Easter and All Saints as well as for relevant themes: Birth, Journeying and for times of darkness. They are adaptable so that they can be used at the lighting of the candles in church before the Eucharist, at home as an evening devotion, at the start of a Bible group, or with each candle prayer used as a meditation in itself. Each service is structured to include a welcome, candle-lighting, special intention and closing prayer, with a focus on quiet reflection in the presence of God and the aim of carrying his light out into the world.

Tasting Life
Christians have often found that practising the physical discipline of limiting what and when they eat also deepens their spiritual awareness of God. This book is designed to sensitise readers in a similar way, helping them to make God a daily reality and to enable a closer relationship with their deeper selves. Each day's thought begins with an often light-hearted look at an aspect of human behaviour or something extraordinary from the natural world. This is used to encourage inward reflection on a facet of our own experience, in the light of God's involvement in our lives.
