There is nothing new about divisions in the Church, and all of us could tell stories of Christians faced with interdenominational tensions. The fact remains that the Church has, especially today, an absolute duty to proclaim the gospel; but we always need to check that it is indeed the gospel that we are trying to preach. For we are fallible and sinful and we can get it wrong.The first chapter of Nicholas King's book considers the scandal of Christian disunion, and in particular the mystery whereby perfectly good people seem content to live with the scandal. Then he looks at each of the 27 documents that constitute the New Testament and demonstrates that the writers were well aware of the possibility of divisions in the Church and that they had a way of coping with the divisions, by keeping their eyes on God and on Jesus.The final part of the book considers one particular issue that divides Christians of the Roman Catholic Church from other Christians, namely the role given to Mary the mother of Jesus, and in particular to the two teachings about her Immaculate Conception and her Assumption, and whether the Catholic position represents an unbridgeable gap for Christians from other traditions.ContentsThe mystery of anti-ecumenismPaul and the Paulines on divisionsDivisions in Paul's Corinthian and Roman correspondenceHandling divisions in ActsThe Johannine LiteratureHandling divisions in Mark's GospelDivisions in Matthew's GospelDivisions in Luke's GospelRevelation and divisionsDivisions in the Catholic EpistlesIs Mary an obstacle to ecumenical progress?
To deepen our devotional life we need a focus for our thoughts, spiritual food to nurture our faith and discipleship. Daily Lent Reflections makes more accessible the spiritual sustenance already offered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.For each of the 40 days of Lent, there are readings, reflections, prayers and points to ponder on themes such as forgiving others, doing that little bit extra in God's service, choosing the way of the kingdom instead of the often-enticing 'way of the world', seeking God's will rather than our own, valuing and respecting others.How do we work out such ideas in terms of daily life? What are their implications for us today? This book sets out to answer such questions, bringing home the challenge, promise, encouragement and inspiration implicit within the teaching of Jesus.
To live well requires us to die well. We cannot run away from death, but we can influence the spirit in which we approach it. We need to prepare for it, make peace with it and embrace it, not just in the later years of our life but from a young age. By doing so we can free ourselves to live the best life possible during our short time on earth.
This book offers us a chance to get things right before we say goodbye. It is both a spiritual and practical guide to planning your final journey, your farewells, your funeral and your will in a way that will uniquely bless you and those around you.

Modern-day life may bear no resemblance to the experiences of the Psalmists, yet basic human nature and emotions don't change. We can easily identify with the range of feelings expressed, as the Psalmists poured out their hearts to God in sincere, earnest prayer, praise and worship. God has much to say to us through the Psalms and their timeless poetry gives us a language to express ourselves to God in return.In this inspiring meditative collection, Linda Ottewell has chosen an extract from a Psalm as a springboard for her thoughts and ideas, which are presented as a short reflection and then rounded off with a prayer or poem, a verse or two from Scripture, or part of a well-loved hymn.It's a book to dip into when you have a few minutes. You'll find a variety of themes, including upbeat praise and worship, crying out to God for help in times of trouble, admitting doubts and fears, expressing an intense longing for God, and confessing sins.Our prayers should be vibrant and lead us into the very heart of God. Here are reflections to encourage and edify, to help you draw nearer to God and go deeper with him.Margaret Rizza writes:These beautiful reflections on the Psalms draw us right into the heart of Scripture, giving helpful insights into our ordinary, everyday lives. Deep Calls to Deep is a book which will inspire and awaken us to new horizons and this will reflect the way we go about dealing with the very ordinary things which we encounter every day of our lives. The thoughts and reflections after the extracts of the chosen Psalms are very helpful and constructive, allowing us to see anew some of the very difficult things arising from a culture which poses many things which need much reflection.This is a book of great depth and will be a great blessing and resource to many people seeking a closer relationship with our Creator God. "Spiritual espresso - a shot of strong, stimulating spiritual reflection to start the day!" Don Egan, Director of RSVP Trust
