No Ordinary Story (To Put It Another Way)
The parables - we know them so well. Or do we? We may think we have learnt everything they have to teach us, but in these unforgettable stories can be found some of Jesus' most powerful and challenging teaching about the nature of discipleship and the kingdom of God.No Ordinary Stories does not set out to add anything to the words of Jesus - those stand complete in themselves. Rather, each of the 38 meditations focuses on a particular aspect of what he said and seeks to draw out its implications for our own lives.The Meditations can be used independently to give a fresh perspective on the Bible readings and are also woven into 11 themed services for in-depth exploration of Jesus' teaching in the parables.No Ordinary Stories was originally published under the title To Put It Another Way.

The Unfolding Story
Photocopy: PermittedThe Unfolding Story is a comprehensive parish resource for reflective worship on the Old Testament. It is designed for use in public worship or for quiet days, with the 80 meditations woven into themed ready-to-use orders of service.For many the Old Testament is a closed book - primitive and dull, often barbaric, irrelevant. To reconcile the God we find there with the God revealed in Jesus is sometimes hard.But it is also the story of a people's journey across centuries towards an ever-deepening understanding of God's greatness, love and mercy, all brought together in anticipation of the promised Messiah - a journey shared and continued by every Christian.The meditations which form the basis of the services in The Unfolding Story were previously published in Grappling with God. Nick Fawcett has now developed them into complete services with•an Introduction • Prayers • Hymn suggestions • Commentries • ReadingsNothing more to do, except pray them!

Come To Me
A resource for weary Christians and those who care about themFrom his own experience of chronic fatigue syndrome, Raymond Tomkinson demonstrates how weariness, whatever its cause, and the rest it demands can be blessed by God in its own right. He challenges the apparent assumption that strength and busyness are good, weakness and stillness are bad. His aim is to release people from unnecessary burdens of guilt and lack of self-worth. Each chapter examines a different aspect of our perception of strength and weakness and includes follow-up material for reflection, discussion and prayer. The intention is to provide encouragement to all those, sufferers or carers, who need to know that God is at work in our weakness, in our passivity and in our receptivity. Some aspects of our relationship with God can only develop fully if we take advantage of the times when we are 'laid aside' from the bustle and routine of twenty-first century living.
