Candle Prayers
Light has long been a symbol of power and hope, a reminder of the abiding presence, peace and love of God; of triumph over darkness. The services in this book take inspiration from the many different ways candlelighting has been used over the centuries for devotion and thanksgiving. There are services for special occasions including Advent, Titles of the Christ (the 'O Antiphons'), Easter and All Saints as well as for relevant themes: Birth, Journeying and for times of darkness. They are adaptable so that they can be used at the lighting of the candles in church before the Eucharist, at home as an evening devotion, at the start of a Bible group, or with each candle prayer used as a meditation in itself. Each service is structured to include a welcome, candle-lighting, special intention and closing prayer, with a focus on quiet reflection in the presence of God and the aim of carrying his light out into the world.

Daily Lent Reflections
To deepen our devotional life we need a focus for our thoughts, spiritual food to nurture our faith and discipleship. Daily Lent Reflections makes more accessible the spiritual sustenance already offered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.For each of the 40 days of Lent, there are readings, reflections, prayers and points to ponder on themes such as forgiving others, doing that little bit extra in God's service, choosing the way of the kingdom instead of the often-enticing 'way of the world', seeking God's will rather than our own, valuing and respecting others.How do we work out such ideas in terms of daily life? What are their implications for us today? This book sets out to answer such questions, bringing home the challenge, promise, encouragement and inspiration implicit within the teaching of Jesus.
