Reflections on the Water
Forty Days of Praying and Pondering Through Lent... In these reflections for Lent, Barbara Glasson leads us through forty days focusing on the theme of water: its power, potential, terror and gentleness, providing a deep well of daily prayer and meditation. Covering issues both domestic and international, Barbara seeks to centre our Lenten reflections on the water that both gives us life and which challenges us to live for justice. As Barbara herself says: ‘Our relationship with water is primal: all life depends on the abundance of a fresh, clean water supply. And yet so many live with drought, thirst and wilderness. In these reflections, I hope you will come to understand the power and beauty of water, and how it relates to the transformative, sustaining power of prayer.’

From The Jordan to Galilee
From The Jordan to Galilee - A Lenten Course by John Cox This Lent Course calls us to join Mark in his account of Jesus’s journey from his baptism in the Jordan to the start of his mission in Galilee, and to reflect on our own journeys of faith. Drawing upon Jesus’ experience in his journey, we are invited to consider questions of what affirms us, who we are, the demons that afflict us and the angels that support us, and finally, our understanding of the gospel we share by word and action. It is a book about self-examination and the value we give to others in an age where people often feel excluded and alienated.

Praying Without Pretence
If you find prayer a struggle sometimes, unsure of what to say or how to say it, this is the book for you. For everyone, praying can occasionally seem more of a burden than a blessing. We assume there’s a right way of doing it, certain words we ought to use, an approach we must adhere to. In these pages, Nick Fawcett dispels that myth, offering 100 prayers that express not how we’re meant to feel but how we truly feel; not what we’re meant to say but what we want to say. If you’re feeling miserable, disillusioned, bored, tell God about it. If you’re angry with God, spit it out. If you’re troubled by doubts and questions, say so. Why pretend to feel what you don’t? Why go through the motions if they mean nothing to you? Be yourself; tell it as it is. Despite what you may think or fear, God won’t be shocked. Praying without pretence, that’s what we should aim for.Real, honest prayer. If God can't accept that, who can?- Nick Fawcett

Wild Bible, Wild Church
At a time, when many people are re-thinking their relationship to the natural world, and their understanding of church, this book is vital. This book aims to transform your worship and spirituality through Bible teaching on the natural world. The natural world is a revelation of God. It is one of the ways he has always revealed himself to people. In the Bible, people connected with God in the wild, Moses found God in a bush, Elijah found Him in whisper. People’s first revelation of God was through the natural world. The Bible starts outside and ends outside. All the best-known stories in the Bible take place outside. Jesus’s teaching takes place outside. He points out the world around him as he talks. Wild church is becoming more popular all the time. It is a great way of doing church. It is fantastic for people who are seeking God, and it is fantastic for people who don’t even know that they are seeking after God. It is fantastic for people who are disillusioned with mainstream church, and for people who love traditional models of church. It is fantastic for nature lovers, and people who don’t even know they are nature lovers yet. But this book is for anyone who wants to know God more. Wild Bible, Wild Church is an in-depth study of nature in The Bible, in order to lead people into deeper relationship with God. Nature in the Bible communicates to us about God’s power, His glory, His strength, His wisdom, His mystery, His Love, and much more besides. In addition, nature can teach us about our spirit, our purposes and the ways we are built in God’s image. Become more wild as you learn to connect to our wild God.

It's also a season to be lived in the dark. Light is promised but it's important to pay attention to the darkness as well.This Advent book is a kind of travel guide or maybe a theatre programme. You may be visiting familiar places and ideas, or places and ideas you haven't previously considered in quite the same way. You might be surprised to find our Advent journey linking with other seasons, so it isn't entirely about getting ready for Christmas.I can't promise you an entirely comfortable journey, but I hope it will be a journey that helps you travel through this coming year, on your own life pilgrimage, equipping you with hope in the darkness, whatever form that darkness takes for you.As there are four weeks in the Advent season, this book is in four sections. In each section there is a weekly prayer, then six short daily rflections, followed by suggestions for you to try. So as we journey through Advent there are questions to think about, suggested further reflection and action.May God bless us as we journey together.
