A handbook to help pastors and pastoral workers. Every day people in churches experience loss events; it may be through a bereavement but it might also be due to many other factors such as unemployment, moving house, children leaving home, divorce and even the loss of the minister when they move on. The aim of this book is to help ministers and pastoral workers to be more prepared and equipped to handle loss issues. It includes an understanding of the variety of loss events in a parish, how to get alongside the bereaved and those carrying loss issues, understanding the variety of grief reactions, preparing a policy within the church and recognising one's own losses in life. This is a practical hands-on book that all pastors need to read.Canon Dr Bill Merrington writes from his practical experience in city, town and country churches. He has carried out extensive research on loss issues both in Britain and internationally. Bill is currently the Lead Chaplain at Bournemouth University.

Welcome to the New TestamentThis book is an invitation to read the 27 documents that make up the library we call 'the New Testament'. They come in different shapes and sizes; there are the five (yes, five) narratives that we call 'gospels'. And there are other documents that we call 'letters', though not many of them are the kind of thing you might receive in today's post.All of them have something to do with, indeed each of them sheds a different light on, the remarkable person whom we call Jesus of Nazareth, who was put to death because the political authorities could not cope with him, and whom God raised from that appalling death.This book will tell you how the New Testament works, and how it could change your life.Contents 1. Starting with Paul (because he came first): the letter to the Galatians2. Paul's earliest letter and his shortest: 1 Thessalonians and Philemon3.
