Brought up in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, Nick Fawcett served as a Baptist minister for 13 years, and as a chaplain with TocH for 3, before deciding to focus on writing and editing, which he continues with today, despite wrestling with myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood. He lives in Wellington, Somerset, with his wife, Deborah, and - when they are at home from university - his two children, Samuel and Kate. Delighting in the beauty of the West Country, Nick and Deborah love nothing more than walking stretches of the South West coast path at weekends, and Nick - as well as finding time for online games of chess and Scrabble alongside his many editing commitments - finds constant inspiration for his numerous books in the lanes and footpaths near his house. His aim, increasingly, is to write material free of religious jargon that reaches out to people of all faiths and none.

Finding Forgiveness
A Haven in the Storm 'Here today and gone tomorrow' - a succinct summary of the transient nature of life, but while the con- stant flux of this world is part of its fascination it also brings heartache, so much that we love inevitably plucked from us. Does anything stay the same? For the Christian the answer is a resounding yes, our faith rooted in the changeless God whose loving purpose never alters, his faithfulness having inspired, encouraged, comforted and enthralled generations of believers across the years. The prayer-poems in this book articulate the sense of confusion and loss that change can bring but express also God's promise to be with us come what may. They are designed to speak both for us and to us.Finding Forgiveness If some Christians can be accused of self-righteousness, the problem for most is the opposite: an all-too-painfulness awareness of their failings. Such an awareness has its place, if it leads to a genuine desire to change, but the last thing God wants is for anyone to struggle through life burdened by a sense of guilt or shame. At heart the gospel is about God's love and mercy, his offer of forgiveness for all through Christ.The prayer-poems in this book - some general, some more specific - articulate those two aspects: the frustration and sorrow we feel at our repeated faithlessness but also the assurance of God's unfailing grace. They are designed to speak both for us and to us.Our Broken World Where is God in our world today? News headlines seem to be dominated by stories of evil, sorrow and suffering, and as Christians we struggle as keenly as anyone to make sense of it all. How can we possibly talk of a loving God amid so much that seems to question or deny his presence? The prayer-poems in this book make no pretence to offer easy answers to such conundrums, but attempt rather to articulate our sense of confusion yet also the faith we hold on to despite them. They are designed to speak both for us and to us.Living with Loss To lose a loved one is one of the most testing experiences we will ever face, bringing a bewildering roller-coaster of emotions: grief, guilt, panic, anger and confusion, to name but some. How do we cope with such feelings? How can we channel them constructively rather than let them eat away within? How can we make sense of death and our own continuing life? For the Christian such questions are as pressing as any. The prayer-poems in this book - each written from personal experience - do not promise easy answers, but attempt to wrestle with the devastating trauma of bereavement while also offering words of hope, comfort and encouragement in the light of God's eternal promises. They are designed to speak both for us and to us.ContentsIntroductionThe unchanging GodOur refuge and our strengthHope in despairGod with usThe wonder of creationThe cycle of the seasonsfaith, come what mayBeneath the surfaceA cry for helpThe ever-present GodGod's awesome devotionA Haven in the StormCounting our blessingsThe assurance of faithKeeping faithA love like no otherThe transforming grace of GodA haven in the stormGrateful responseA prayer from the heartOur eternal hopeThe constancy of God's loveFinding ForgivenessIntroductionLord, forgive meTaking stockPride goes before a fallTrue richesCelebrating God's goodnessFaith in actionFlawed discipleshipLearning to loveLove divineStewardship of creationGood intentionsGod's way not oursAmazing graceGiving our allRenewed commitmentThe vital ingredientGlimpsing God's presenceA faith that showsOur Broken WorldIntroductionA divided worldBehind the labelsA world in needFaith in actionPraying for othersFaith and doubtThe riddle of lifeOne people?Questions of faithFor those who care enough to show itWhen God seems distantHope in times of confusionFor the elderly and infirmThe shadow of deathOur eternal homeLiving with LossIntroductionThe pain of lossFacing the truthLetting goThe shadow of deathHonestly rememberedGetting byNew beginningsDefeat and victoryFaith in things unseenThe price of lovingThanks for the memoriesThanksgiving for a parentComfort those who mournThe promise of new lifeA love that conquers deathWe'll meet again
