Tasting Life
Christians have often found that practising the physical discipline of limiting what and when they eat also deepens their spiritual awareness of God. This book is designed to sensitise readers in a similar way, helping them to make God a daily reality and to enable a closer relationship with their deeper selves. Each day's thought begins with an often light-hearted look at an aspect of human behaviour or something extraordinary from the natural world. This is used to encourage inward reflection on a facet of our own experience, in the light of God's involvement in our lives.

Revealed
The films Calendar Girls and The Full Monty, on which this course is based, have one thing in common: nakedness. However, this is simply the trigger for the true revelations which give these stories their heart. This course has six weekly sessions, taking themes from film scenes and applying them to the Bible, exploring ways in which we are revealed to ourselves and to God, and how God reveals himself to us and to the world. Meditations precede each session, encouraging participants to read, reflect, pray, think, question and be creative in their own time. Each session is self-contained, meaning if a participant cannot attend one week, they will not fall behind. And don't worry, there is no nudity involved!

The Heart Of Christmas
In his parables, Jesus used examples of human behaviour to open up to his listeners a deeper understanding of God. Today's world is no less rich in such similes. In this book, Chris Morley, a regular contributor to 'Pause for Thought' on Radio 2's Wake up to Wogan, takes examples of quirky human behaviour and uses them to offer ways into reflecting on God and our response to him. These Advent reflections allow us, in the busy weeks before Christmas, to remind ourselves what it means that God embraced humanity, and rejoice in the Spirit of God which is within us all.
