Body Language
How do we speak of God who is not physical but spirit? We follow the Bible and use body language. We speak of God walking in the Garden, of talking with prophets and kings. Such body language speaks powerfully about the way we understand God acting in this world and relating to it. This book explores how such symbolism appears in the Bible and what it tells us about God. It also examines the way in which some of Jesus' physical features are described in the Gospels to convey the evangelists' understanding of his distinctive actions.

On The One Road
Behind every good man there is a good woman, an old saying has it, and in the case of Brian Fahy, there are two good women - so the force is definitely with him!In the run of his life Brian was blessed with a good Irish mother, Ellen, and with a lovely Irish/Scots lassie, Margaret. These two women sustained and supported Brian on the long road into the promise of priesthood, through the pain of priesthood, and out into the sunlight and simple joys of love.In telling this story about the road he has travelled, Brian wants to tell other stories too; stories about many of the people he has met along life's highway. The road we travel is the 'One Road', and though the details of our stories may differ in every respect, the human journey is the same. Sometimes it feels like a road to 'God knows where' and we are lost, but we travel the road together and we can help each other to find the way.Brian always wanted to write this story, but he needed a push. That push came in the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Margaret. Brian is good with words, Margaret had said, and so out of love for her and for his mother, he has put these words together.

These meditations celebrate the joy of meeting up with Jesus, of knowing the risen Lord. They rejoice that Jesus is alive and present with us now. There is a meditation for each day from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday after Easter. Each meditation has a passage of Scripture, where the life-giving powers of God are seen to be at work. The aim is to help us spend time with the risen Lord. To explore the Scripture readings, David Adam uses the ancient tradition of Lectio Divina, Holy Reading. The purpose of these meditations is not study, though information is provided, but to be still in the presence of God and rejoice in his saving power.

Alive And Active
Key Stage 1 - 2Jesus used storytelling in a vivid and imaginative way and the stories he told give a clear code of conduct; a blueprint for living which children can recognise. This book explores the modern-day relevance of some of the gospel passages. Each chapter is based on a message drawn from the gospel, with stories placed in a contemporary context using settings and situations familiar to children, to demonstrate how the teachings of Jesus apply to their everyday lives. There is an introduction for teachers and catechists and prayers that reinforce the point illustrated by the stories. Initially created for assembly, this book also has a place in the classroom and in catechetical situations, including children's liturgy and junior church. Living the message of Jesus is a far more important then talking about it - we need to break the Word for children and help them see it is, in truth, something alive and active. Contents Jesus calls us to makes a differenceJesus calls us to take notice and do something to helpJesus asks us to do little thingsJesus asks us to look for people who need careJesus tells us that we must not judge or be prejudicedJesus tells us to think for ourselvesJesus asks us to put others firstJesus asks us to recognise that we are all a mixture of good and badJesus tells us that we must use our giftsJesus asks us to look for something special in other peopleJesus calls us always to forgive

Mersey Vespers
The life of Austin Smith shows how practical Christianity can be at one with the most intense and searching theological and philosophical thought. As a priest working with the dispossessed and disempowered - in particular with the black community of inner-city Liverpool - he has transformed lives. Just as transforming has been the effect this work has had on his understanding and experience of God. Over many years he has put on paper the insights gained and the profound questions posed by the ongoing process of spiritual discovery. These never-before-published writings re-examine every aspect of faith, entering into the realms of mysticism as frequently as they plea for re-engagement with the everyday concerns of humanity. A massively important book for all thinking Christians.

Fast And Feast
Lent is traditionally a time of fasting. All too easily we can see fasting in negative terms - of things given up. But we should also consider what we could increase and do more of. This set of daily Lenten meditations suggests something of each - some things to give up and some to take on. To make use of it will be something of a Lenten discipline: a fast from some activities whilst nourishing hearts and minds. Fast & Feast is also suitable for personal reflection and prayer.
