Intercessions For A Hurting World
In a hurting world that needs praying for more than ever, Nick Fawcett provides a new collection of a hundred jargon-free prayers to meet that need.Avoiding religious jargon and using instead, language that speaks to all, he provides an invaluable resource for those leading intercessions in public worship, so that they may pray meaningfully, thoughtfully and confidently.Intercessions for a Hurting World doesn't simply remind us of matters we sometimes ignore or forget, it also brings home the reality of human need and prompts us into action.As Nick says: '... we need to pray in the modern-day vernacular and, as far as possible, in words that speak to non-believers as much as believers. We need to include rather than exclude, to welcome in rather than shut out.'ContentsClick here to view the full contents

The Challenge Of The Lords Prayer
You've said the Lord's Prayer so often that you know it off by heart. But does it still challenge you? Can you truly stand up to the demands of this most holy and beloved of prayers?In his new book, The Challenge of the Lord's Prayer, author John Cox forces us to face the prayer of Jesus head on and not to pray it lightly. He provides valuable insights into its meaning and relevance today, raising important questions to challenge those who have the courage to pray this ancient prayer with a true and living faith.As John says: 'We sometimes think that prayer is all about asking, but in asking for things for ourselves, our very asking challenges us about what we are doing - in relation to God and in relation to others.'John Cox was ordained priest in the Anglican Church in 1968 and has worked as curate and rector of an inner-city ex-slum parish in Birmingham, as well as being Diocesan Director of Ordinands and Post-ordination training. Having retired twice, he now spends his time writing, playing golf and enjoying river cruises.The Challenge of the Lord's Prayer insists that we put God first in our praying and demands that, as we ask God for forgiveness, we consider the needs of others and how we, in turn, forgive them. And it calls us to stand up to the evil in our world today.Click here to view contents

Still Valued And Blessed
What exactly is old age? Grey hair? A pension? A state of mind? Whatever it is, and however it is defined, one thing is for sure: God wants our lives to continue to be valued and blessed.In his new book, Still Valued and Blessed, author Patrick Coghlan encourages everyone entering and journeying through old age to do so with a positive attitude and to live a spiritually fruitful and fulfilling life.As Patrick says: 'I am sure that God doesn't want us to stop living fulfilling lives - filled with joy and hope - just because we have reached a certain age. We still have spiritual needs to be met, callings to fulfil, and new things to learn!'Patrick Coghlan is a Baptist Minister and chaplain for a care trust. He has considerable experience of working with people of most age groups, in the context of providing ministry and care. His first book was published in 2001 and he has since written a variety of Christian resources for different age groups, and some family novels.Still Valued and Blessed is a personal resource written predominantly for older people and those approaching this time of life. This much-needed guide aims to help us all approach, enter and journey through old age positively and to discover a new wealth of spiritual fruitfulness, with joy and hope. It examines biblical teaching about God's purpose for our whole lives, encouraging us to be challenged by new experiences and opportunities, and to learn from those older characters in the Bible who served God in truly amazing ways.Contents1. The purpose for which we were created2. God's faithfulness to us on our Christian journey3. Letting go of failure and facing new opportunities4.

Experiencing God In Unexpected Places
Aimed at a variety of readerships, Experiencing God in Unexpected Places is for those who want to know more about the meaning and significance of the Beatitudes, and to gain a greater understanding of the nature of joy and blessing.The book will also help people who are coming to terms with difficult times, and all those who struggle to understand how we can experience God, his joy and blessing, even in the more negative situations in life - sometimes more so.Patrick Coghlan examines how we are able to deal with the more negative experiences often faced in life; to have a deeper joy, to receive more of God's blessing, and to experience the Triune God (God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit) in new and significant ways eternally. Also, how we can appreciate more fully all the joy and blessings that God showers upon us on a daily basis; though not everyone attributes them to God.Each Beatitude is divided into two halves, which are looked at in alternate chapters. The first half is the challenge of the Beatitude, and the second half is the blessing of the Beatitude. The Appendix at the end of the resource invites and assists the reader to go on a physical journey of prayer, based on the Beatitudes.Contents Chapter 1: Experiencing God in the things that money can't buyChapter 2: The kingdom is like...

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.

Heart Of The Bible
Storytelling is a vital part of our faith: people passing on the stories of their belief by word of mouth or in written form. Written in child-friendly language, this book follows that tradition, enabling children to hear the stories of their faith as engaging and interesting accounts of real events and real people. Key events and people have been selected and arranged so that, in the Old Testament, children can understand the developing story of the people of God and, in the New Testament, they can easily access different aspects of the life and ministry of Jesus. This is an ideal book for reading at home, for church and also for school, where it gives children ready access to the stories they need to underpin their work in RE lessons. It allows them to understand their story as a people of God.

Paul Cox went into parish ministry in 1990, having been a teacher for 24 years, the last 10 of which he was a chaplain and headmaster of a prep school. For 16 years he served in rural parishes in Canterbury Diocese. At times, he was in addition part-time Director of Selection and Training for Readers, Bishop's Officer for NSMs and then OLMs. On retirement to Chichester Diocese he tutors on courses for the Bishop's Certificate and is an examining Chaplain.
