The prayers stem from Rupert's own prayer life and experience of leading intercessions in church, making them real and relevant to Christian life and worship.The prayers are in the form of sets of intercessions for use in the main morning services. The themes in the headings are picked up in the prayers, which also cover other subjects normally found in Sunday intercessions.

Finding Maggie
'That's it. I am free. I am going to leave and I am going to Maggie and Michael, and I am going to be a husband and a father.'For many years a Catholic priest and a member of a religious order, author Brian Fahy struggled to find a path to freedom. Finding Maggie was his liberation. But even then he struggled to be free.In this book - both love story and memoir - Brian tells of his spiritual struggle with the Catholic Church, eventually leaving to be with the woman he loves; of her illness and her death at the age of just 47; of their son, Michael; and of the great human journey that we all make to stand in the light of the sun.Brian often joked with his wife that their story 'would knock Dr Zhivago into a cocked hat!'. In this book there is no Russian revolution to give dramatic background, but instead the revolutions struggling to be born in the Catholic Church.

Faith Matters
A comprehensive introduction to Christianity and Christian faith. The title of this book is intentionally and provocatively ambiguous. Faith is more than matters of fact. It involves relationship and trust, a belief in and not simply a belief that. For those who are interested in matters of faith, or those just enquiring, here is a valuable introduction to all aspects of Christianity and Christian faith in a brief and accessible form. You'll find short but informative articles written by a wide range of authors who bring their experience and expertise from different denominations and traditions, giving richness to what is offered here. Whether it is matters of information or a matter of people's relationships with God and one another, it remains true that faith matters.

Hearts On Fire
Two travellers on the road to Emmaus said to each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road?' 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.

A Day Away
Problem-solving and decision-taking in a church setting cannot be assumed to be the role of the priest or minister. One way of sharing such responsibilities is to get together and discuss them within structured meetings or preferably during a day away. This book gives practical help in planning these days and provides guidance in tackling such issues as: Visioning, Vacancy, Finances and Welcoming. 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.

Growing Through The Church
Russell Herbert believes that it is essential that churches enable all ages to grow together. This book explores how church need not be something to 'grow out of' - rather it can and should be something we grow through. Drawing on the theology and psychology of faith development as well as his own experience as a preacher and worship-leader, the author gives practical guidance for engaging the imaginations of all ages through music, prayer, presenting a message and enabling a response.
