3 Minute Prayers For Later In Life
These are searching, uplifting and encouraging prayers, each with an accompanying Bible reference; an honest expression of daily faith and life, addressing insecurity, fears for the future, retirement, health, changing role and status. They speak of a surprising God who hasn’t finished with us because of a few grey hairs and wrinkles. There’s no retirement home with God, simply different plans and new ways of being, always plenty in store. Abundant living certainly doesn’t grind to a halt in later years and ‘on the scrapheap’ will never feature in God’s vocabulary. So, dismiss the notion that it’s all downhill from here. We are all beautiful in God’s sight, accepted, loved totally and unconditionally, and he delights in us. Pages Count: 96 pages Dimensions; 105 x 148 mm Weight: 50g

Through
Jesus' cries from the cross offer lasting hope to all who look to him. They were, and still are, famous last words!Death, not space, is the final frontier. It takes no prisoners. There is no reprieve for good behaviour. Money can't buy a way out. Its shadow looms over all humanity. Shrouded in mystery, the thought of it leaves most of us overwhelmed with fear. If the short-sighted solution is not to think about it, is there anyone who has faced death, lived to tell the tale and can show us the way through?For centuries the words of one man have given lasting hope to all those facing the ultimate challenge that death poses. His name is Jesus. The Bible says that God sent him to set free all those who were overwhelmed by their fear of death. He claimed that anyone who put their trust in him, and in what he said, would never die. Over the centuries, since he made that promise, millions of people have taken him at his word.Were they right to do so? Can we? Especially as, bizarrely, not long after Jesus made that statement he himself died, crucified on a Roman cross! My conviction is yes.In the six hours it took for him to die, Jesus didn't say much. Yet what he did say was profound. His seven 'cries from the cross' provide answers to humanity's deep need for forgiveness, security and belonging. They fill the human heart with confidence, that when we close our eyes on this life God will take us home. To prove that he meant what he said, Jesus rose from the dead.

Christ The King: Icon Of Love
For many centuries Christians have found the symbol of the cross to be a source of inspiration. Reflections in this book explore the less well-known cross which depicts Christ reigning as king of heaven and earth.Known as the Christus Rex, this depiction is rich in symbolism and tells much more of the story of Jesus' life, suffering, death, rising and triumphant return to heaven than any other form of the cross.The message of the Christus Rex is explored; each chapter focusing on one of a number of traditional and contemporary theological and spiritual insights.Christ The King - Icon Of Love would be suitable for individuals but also for groups meeting regularly. At the end of each chapter, there are suggestions for discussions and for prayer and a verse of a specially written hymn.

Hannah Devotions
A month in the presence of the mother of SamuelHannah might seem to us impossibly remote: a woman in a desert town who lived three thousand years ago and as many miles away; a second wife who longed for a son and then - extraordinarily - gave him away.

It captures every word of this faithful woman's spontaneous song of praise.The 30 meditations in this book encourage you to spend a month in Hannah's company Each day links an aspect of Hannah's story with a Bible reading, which is accompanied by a short reflection and a prayer.It is said that we can't really know a person until we have walked a mile in their shoes: why not spend a month walking in Hannah's faithful footsteps, to see where she and God might lead you?

Easter Encounters
For Primary and Secondary SchoolsLet's go back nearly two thousand years, to a big city in the backwater province of Palestine. Many people in the city of Jerusalem were about to have an encounter with a man they would never, ever forget. Even though Pilate washed his hands of an innocent man, how could he ever forget his conversation about truth with the 'King of the Jews'? A soldier would always remember the words of the man on the cross.But, that's not all. This man died and was buried. Three days later people encountered the same man – alive. Surely, that was an encounter that they would never forget. And this man's name was Jesus. This book is a collection of scripts, poems, prayers and dramatic readings all about these groundbreaking encounters. They can be used in schools and churches, for lessons, assemblies, and services to impact and inspire.Tony Bower is the head of YoYo (York Schools and Youth Trust), which is a Christian charity that brings the Christian faith alive.The drama work that Tony has done for our school for special services has been inspirational. Both children and parents have been moved by the content, and the dramas have ignited these events into very special spiritual moments. Jonathan Green - Headteacher, Archbishop of York's CE Junior SchoolThe drama was moving and powerful; I could not commend the results highly enough. This is the perfect starting point when developing such enriching experiences with children.Beverley Pawson - Headteacher, Sand Hutton, and Warthill Federation.

The Possibility of Difference
Marcus Green makes three startlingly honest confessions. His first, that he is an Anglican; his second, that he is an evangelical; and finally, his third, that he is gay. It is these uncompromising and at times conflicting standpoints that make the basis for this compelling, compassionate, perhaps controversial but absolutely crucial book on attitudes towards homosexuality in the Christian faith.Rational yet fiercely passionate, Marcus starts by tackling some of the Scriptures that have been used to condemn gay people. He then looks beyond these texts to the bigger biblical story, taking the reader on a journey that reveals the Bible as a place of radical inclusion and love. Finally, addressing the conservative contemporary orthodoxy often expected of the Christian community, Marcus explores the alienation and division that the 'party line' has on Christians both gay and straight, and offers an alternative vision of hope.Through every page, Marcus Green challenges us to embrace 'the rather glorious possibilities of difference', and thus to 'become the fully equal children of God'.

Sunday Sorted
Sunday Sorted is a resource for the whole church family and will be treasured by anyone involved in preparing and leading worship in church. Based on the Common Worship Lectionary, it ensures that everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, will be exploring and praying through the same themes, ideas, and scriptures. As the family of God we all have things to learn from each other and this book will enable such conversations to happen.There is something for everyone, for every Sunday of Church Year C, including:Thoughts on the Readings: This pulls Sunday's readings together, unpicking the common themes between them, and listening to how they speak into our context.Discussion Starters: Some churches like to talk in a small group about the readings before the Sunday service. Others might use these discussion starters as part of a cafÁ church style sermon slot.Intercessions: Offering up prayer on behalf of the worshipping church is an important job but one that often doesn't come with much support or training. The intercessions here will support you in that role, giving you confidence as you make the prayers your own.Children's Prayer: Sometimes a shorter and simpler form of prayer is useful, either in a children's group or in the main service to make sure prayer is more readily accessible for all.Other Ideas!: Something to display, create, or do, that sets the scene for this Sunday and draws people of all ages into worship.Children's Corner: Most churches have a children's corner, with books and soft toys. This provides suggestions for a simple activity to set out each Sunday, so that very young children and their parents or carers are able to join in the worship with the rest of the church community.All-age Talk: A talk suitable for everyone doesn't have to dumb down theological concepts or spiritual insight. These all-age talks allow everyone to understand the scriptures at a level they can understand.Little Kids' Sunday School and Big Kids' Sunday School: Deliberately flexible on age grouping, these suggestions for children's activities keep things playful and explorative, as research shows that children learn best through playing.Colouring Page: Each Sunday there is a photocopiable/downloadable colouring sheet, inspired by the Lectionary readings for the day.

The Puzzle of Pastoral Care
The Puzzle of Pastoral Care is for anyone who is responsible for, interested in or practising pastoral care: lay or ordained; in full time or part time ministry; paid or voluntary. Anyone being trained in pastoral care or responsible for training others. The issues raised are relevant to churches of all denominations.Pastoral care in churches is a puzzle. Why is it rarely talked about seriously? How has it come to be either taken for granted or side-lined as less important than 'mission' and 'church growth'? And why is pastoral care so difficult to do well? It is clearly at the heart of the Christian life, yet in many churches, pastoral care is surprisingly inadequate, and where it does work well, it is often mysteriously difficult to replicate elsewhere.This book aims to help churches work on better pastoral care provision. It takes a down-to-earth approach in a brief and accessible format. While addressing what makes for good, thoughtful, high-quality pastoral care, it also looks at what can get in the way, the hitches and glitches and challenges. Each short section includes illustrative stories, ending with suggested Bible passages and prayers. It could be used by a group or dipped into by individuals.
