Lent and Holy Week are important times of reflection. A well-acted and well-produced piece of drama can make a real difference in helping us all understand with greater depth the events that we focus on at this time.Bible-based, and drawing on the key messages from this key period in the Christian calendar, these dramas can be performed as stand-alone pieces to support a talk or sermon, used as part of a Lent series, or perhaps as a block of six or seven as a Good Friday presentation.Written by Peter Jackson, who was assistant editor of the theatre magazine Plays and Players, and who is also the author behind other well-known Kevin Mayhew titles, such as Star and the Stable, Acts of Faith, 25 Christian Drama Sketches, and The Coming King, these sketches will challenge and provoke all who either take part in them, or see them performed.

To look at something from another perspective is often key to understanding it better and with greater depth. It also provides us with an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and to challenge who and what we are. In Rediscover Jesus, and based on an actual study tour of the Holy Land, Peter Edmonds guides us through the land, the personalities and the language of Luke. An essential resource for groups and individuals wishing to gain a deeper and broader understanding of Luke's Gospel, the suggestions for further reflection and discussion, and the questions and answers at the end of the final chapter, will transform your understanding of the world Luke was from and the true meaning of his words.

These intercessions are profoundly scriptural, drawn from the readings of each Sunday or feast day, and the prayers link the readings to the needs and aspirations of the worshipping community in any parish. The sureness of touch, the freshness of language and the natural rhythm of Fr Gerald O'Mahony's writing will ensure that they are used for many years to come. In addition to a set of intercessions for every Sunday of the Lectionary, Fr Gerald offers sets for the major feasts which can replace the Sunday readings, and suggestions for the other sacraments as well as for funerals. The Prayer of the Faithful is unique in that it comes in two versions with a slip case for easy storage. One version is the full lectern book, the other is for the priest containing the opening and closing prayers and response. Fr Gerald O'Mahony is a retreat director and writer based in the Loyola Hall Spirituality Centre near Liverpool. He brings a lifetime of prayer and study to his task of writing these outstanding intercessions.

How well do you know the Bible? For most of us the answer is probably not as well as we think we do. There are all kinds of facts, details, people and events that get forgotten, and to many the Bible is a closed book - with huge swathes rarely (if ever) read. This new book of quizzes from bestselling author Nick Fawcett effectively whets the appetite for more. Few of the questions are easy, but after trying the various quizzes a few times, the Bible will become no longer a closed book but God's living word.

In the UK today we are fast losing that almost instinctive respect for the Bible. Yet in the Bible are words of eternal life; words which on every encounter seem to reveal, touch or illuminate something fresh. Ultimately the Bible is uniquely able to inform and direct every aspect of our lives. Sheila Walker uses a lively, contemporary style - sometimes subversive, sometimes unorthodox - to get to the heart of the Common Worship readings for Year A. Coming at it sideways, she has the ability to make us see things in a startling new light. The reflections can be used in several ways: as a weekly aid to studying the Bible, as an accompaniment to the Church of England's weekly Common Worship readings, as a basis for discussion or simply to dip into to encourage individual reflections.
