A Chequered Legacy is a two-volume study course in which popular author Nick Fawcett explores 'the good, the bad and the ugly' of the Church.Starting in Advent, The Good looks at the positive aspects of the Church, celebrating some of the achievements of Christian believers across the years in terms of building a better world, and asking what their efforts and example might teach us today.In the Lent book, The Bad and the Ugly, Nick Fawcett moves on to faults of the Church; faults that call us to reflect, confess, repent and work as best we can for a better, more enlightened future.We have inherited a chequered church history: a mixture of the inspiring and appalling, wonderful and awful, and we need to learn from both. Through doing so honestly, we can open the way for God to help us become more fully the people he would have us be.Contents• A voice for freedom: William Wilberforce• A voice for justice: The Earl of Shaftesbury• A voice for the sick: Florence Nightingale• voice for the voiceless: Martin Luther King• A voice for peace and reconciliation: Nelson Mandela

In the rush towards Christmas that engulfs our society each year, the season of Advent is a reminder to slow down and refocus. It is a season of preparation, but it does not only ask us to prepare for the birth of a baby. We are also asked to prepare for the coming of a king.In this daily collection of reflections, Jeremy Brooks encourages us to look at what kind of king we are expecting and what kind of kingdom will be coming. He uses readings from Luke's Gospel to show Jesus' concerns for those who are on the edge of society - the poor, the disabled and the lonely. At Christmas time, it can be these groups of people who feel most marginalized and most excluded from society's celebrations, but Advent reminds us that they should be at the center of our concern.Jeremy Brooks uses those services that churches put on as part of their Christmas celebrations, such as Christingle and Crib Services to remind us of the journey of Advent. He also draws on the poetry of the Welsh poet priest, R. S. Thomas as inspiration for his daily reflections.

When making a journey to a new destination by car or on foot, it is helpful to have some guidance as to the direction in which to head and the possible difficulties that may be faced.Life as a Christian is often spoken about as a pilgrimage or a journey of faith, and this too needs a guide book and aids. It would be simple just to say that the Bible is the guide book and to expect every Christian to use it on their journey, but the Bible requires some explanation, and some help in making best use of it, just as reading a map is a skill that needs to be acquired and practised.Aimed primarily for use in small groups, this six-week course could also be used for individual study. Each session begins with a short reflection based on Bible readings, there are questions to initiate discussion and prayers to finish.Contents• Choosing a destination - starting at the end• Dead end or one way• Trouble ahead - not an easy route• Children and old folk - watching out for others• Traffic lights and signals - obeying and listening to God• Gradient - a slippery slope or a climb to Calvary

Daily Reflections and Prayers for Advent'This Advent I invite you to set out on a pilgrimage - a journey towards a renewed and deeper encounter with God - something active, not simply read about, so there will be things to do each day. Let us set out together and may God be with us on the road.' Each year at Advent we are invited to revisit the stories of those who looked forward over the centuries to the coming of Christ. Travelling through the days and weeks, we recall the trials they faced and the goals they eventually reached. In this book, we are invited to reflect upon our own personal journey towards God in the course of our lives, and review our progress as the year draws to an end.Beginning with the first Sunday of Advent and travelling towards the birth of Christ at Christmas, the material for each day is divided into four parts: A gift to ask God for, A reflection for the road, Scripture to accompany you, and Words for the Journey.Let this book be your most rewarding companion to the season of Advent!

'That's it. I am free. I am going to leave and I am going to Maggie and Michael, and I am going to be a husband and a father.'For many years a Catholic priest and a member of a religious order, author Brian Fahy struggled to find a path to freedom. Finding Maggie was his liberation. But even then he struggled to be free.In this book - both love story and memoir - Brian tells of his spiritual struggle with the Catholic Church, eventually leaving to be with the woman he loves; of her illness and her death at the age of just 47; of their son, Michael; and of the great human journey that we all make to stand in the light of the sun.Brian often joked with his wife that their story 'would knock Dr Zhivago into a cocked hat!'. In this book there is no Russian revolution to give dramatic background, but instead the revolutions struggling to be born in the Catholic Church.

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.

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.
