A Letter For Lent
Based on the Apostle Paul's letter to the Colossians, A Letter for Lent is an easy-to-follow, off-the-page, six-session group Bible study course. At the back there is also a short, personal Bible study for Monday to Friday of Holy Week, looking at the story of Onesimus in Paul's letter to Philemon.Hung on a framework of letter writing, the author examines topics such as encouraging each other in our faith, getting to know God better, taking on God's family likeness, and qualities which we should aspire to.The group course encourages all the members to participate in the discussion, including the sharing of personal testimony and life experience, and also in the prayer time. The application is both for the members of the group as individuals, but also collectively for the fellowships/congregations represented.The personal Bible study course focuses mainly on our personal spiritual journeys. It is more meditative than the group course and encourages a time to be still and quiet in God's presence each day. On Good Friday the focus is on making a prayer response to the Bible study's content and what God is saying to the reader through it.

Knowing & Growing
Lent is a time for change; a time for cutting back, pruning and growing in strength so that we can live more fruitful lives. Just as with a well - tended garden, we have to work at ourselves to have a full and productive life. This book is for those who want to explore the way to abundant life, for those who seek to know Christ and the power of his resurrection.In this 8-week course, taking us from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday in a series of one hour sessions for group study, David Adam shares with us a method which follows the Church's ancient tradition of prayer and reading Scripture called Lectio Divina, or 'Holy Reading'. Each chapter includes suggested resources, hymns and prayers to help illustrate a theme to be discussed and reflected upon, together with a reading from scripture of one of the parables in the Gospels, carefully chosen because of the simple pictures the create while also exposing up to deep mysteries and challenges. Every time we extend ourselves to reach beyond the obvious and the immediate, we are reaching towards a higher awareness and potential and the abundant life God wants us to live.ContentsIntrodutionWEEK 1: Ash Wednesday Don't Give Up!WEEK 2 Fruit GrowingWEEK 3 Where Do Weeds Come From?WEEK 4 The Dangers of Jerry - BuildersWEEK 5 Use it or Lose itWEEK 6 At HomeWEEK 7 Scorned and RejectedWEEK 8: Easter Day Love Is Come Again
