Comfort And Consolation
An inspirational collection of prayers by the finest spiritual writers for both public and personal use. The first half is for ministers and the bereaved to draw upon when planning a funeral. This is followed by prayers and thoughts that the minister may wish to suggest to the bereaved for their own use. All the prayers have this in common: they are not simply plasters to smother the wounds of loss but are there to express the reality of grief and pain, while also speaking of comfort and hope that goes beyond this moment and beyond ourselves.

Hearts On Fire
Two travellers on the road to Emmaus said to each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road?' These meditations celebrate the joy of meeting up with Jesus, of knowing the risen Lord. They rejoice that Jesus is alive and present with us now. There is a meditation for each day from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday after Easter. Each meditation has a passage of Scripture, where the life-giving powers of God are seen to be at work. The aim is to help us spend time with the risen Lord. To explore the Scripture readings, David Adam uses the ancient tradition of Lectio Divina, Holy Reading. The purpose of these meditations is not study, though information is provided, but to be still in the presence of God and rejoice in his saving power.

Jesus's Women
In all four Gospel accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus, women feature strongly. They have a vital role in his family background and are among his closest friends and followers. They frequently make significant appearances in his one-off encounters. Some are named, many are not, but each has her own part to play in opening up the truth of God. Each of these women points us to Jesus, who is God with us. And Jesus himself uses female characters and imagery to get across the meaning of his life and mission.These women matter, therefore. In this book, Joy Tetley reflects on each one of them, convinced that they still have much to say, even in this day and age, and to both men and women. Whether they speak verbally or non-verbally, their voices still need to be heard, for they bring messages of hope, encouragement and challenge. They can help us to be confident in God and bold in God's presence. And as they were their own women, so they can encourage us to come into our own, in relationship with the God who ever seeks to raise us to our full potential.It is the author's contention that however many times we turn to look at these women, there will always be something more to discover and take to heart. It is a privilege still to be able to meet them through the imprint they have left on Scripture and we should, indeed, thank God for them.
