The Cowshed Revolution
Capitalism is in crisisIt has become divorced from moral norms. The Church, which in the past has provided a moral and social framework to guide the 'free market', is perceived to have forfeited the common ground. Yet experiments such as The Big Society cannot work unless the population is motivated to service. So society and the Church are at a tipping point.What is the way forward?Ray Simpson suggests it lies in an increase of Downwardly Mobile people - able Christians who lay down their lives for the common good. He explores fresh thinking and tells the inspiring story of such people, past and present, whose social enterprises, if multiplied, could make all the difference. The international 'Occupy' movement wants the 1 per cent who holds the levers of money and power to relate to the 99 per cent as one community: this book suggests ways in which this can come about.

Caring Together
Many people offer committed care - to a family member, friend, neighbour or fellow church member. The caring can last a few months or go on for years. It is frequently demanding and often rewarding. Talking about it in a supportive environment can make the caring more effective and manageable. This ten session course provides a framework for such conversations. Suggestions for discussion arise from what carers have written about the experience, from reflection on some things Jesus said and did, and from the ideas of thinkers and writers from different epochs. Sessions cover topics such as Looking after yourself, Listening, and Getting support. This book is best used in a group set up specifically to study it. But the material also provides a rich resource for individual reflection on how to care better. Click here to purchase the tracks highlighted within the content of Caring Together

Dreams And Visions
As a resource for preachers this latest book by John Cox studies thirty dreams and visions reported through pages of Scripture, from Jacob's vision of the ladder to Mary's vision of the angel Gabriel announcing she would be the mother of Jesus. Each of the thirty sections explores something of the background to the dream or vision, providing thoughts and illustrations for sermons. Dreams and their interpretation have been recorded for over 4000 years and they continue to mystify and intrigue us.

Ready To Be Our Best
This Biblical Lenten Course has many questions but no written answers. These will come from the children themselves. Having shared the Scripture readings with children in his Bible class, Denis O'Gorman raised questions and asked them for their comments."The eagerness and the 'hands up' responses were amazing." With songs, questions and prayers, we hope that your Bible sessions for children will come alive as well.

Sermons On Difficult Subjects
There are at least two things that can be terrifying for a preacher - a blank piece of paper and a Scripture passage set by the lectionary that you really do not want to preach on. Just as the lectionary itself can produce difficulties, so can issues from life's experiences - experiences that we may not ourselves have had but which are certainly faced by many people. These difficult subjects present a challenge to the preacher who seeks to bring to them the Word of God, the Gospel message. This book offers a valuable resource for preachers who want to tackle these subjects and who are looking for help both in terms of background information and the light the Christian faith can shine on them. Each section deals with a different subject by offering a suitable biblical passage, some background information, ideas to help the preacher and a story that could be used as an illustration in the sermon. There is a concluding 'Thought to take away'. The contributors all have expertise or particular interest in the subjects they tackle and bring both knowledge and Christian insight. While following the same pattern, they bring their own style and approach which adds variety and flexibility. The sermon ideas are not intended as scripts to be preached from but as a stimulus for preachers to draw on in creating their own sermons - just the kind of help that the fear of the blank piece of paper looks for.

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
BORING!' Have you ever described the Gospels that way? Well, if you have, you are going to have to find a new word to describe them once you have read this book - something like 'awesome', 'cool', 'fab', or 'wicked' perhaps.Rosie Rushton, who knows a thing or two about writing for teenagers - she has written more than forty highly successful books for them - retells the story of Jesus through the eyes of four teenagers who hovered on the fringes of the crowds that followed him.It is a story full of mystery, adventure, passing, loss, excitement, disillusionment, hope and pain: a story of an all-embracing love that has changed the lives of millions of people over two thousand years - and still does.It is the greatest love story ever told - and them some! So come and chillax with Jesus.
