Tasting Life
Christians have often found that practising the physical discipline of limiting what and when they eat also deepens their spiritual awareness of God. This book is designed to sensitise readers in a similar way, helping them to make God a daily reality and to enable a closer relationship with their deeper selves. Each day's thought begins with an often light-hearted look at an aspect of human behaviour or something extraordinary from the natural world. This is used to encourage inward reflection on a facet of our own experience, in the light of God's involvement in our lives.

No Body But Yours
Christ has no body now, but yours. No hands, no feet on earth, but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. St Teresa of Avila.As Christians, we are all challenged by Jesus' final commission to his disciples, to go and make disciples of all nations. It has clearly not yet been accomplished and this is the springboard for Paul Cox's thought-provoking course of Lent reflections in No Body But Yours. Through six sessions, each of which can be followed either as a personal reflection for Lent, or as a group, the sentiments expressed in the prayer by St Teresa of Avila are examined in detail.No Body but Yours is an essential aid for Lent, encouraging us to reflect not just upon how we live our faith, but how this faith is proclaimed and perhaps more importantly, how we can be Christ to and for others.Calling on us all to take more seriously, and with greater personal engagement, the task Jesus has set us, Paul Cox encourages us to examine how we can be more Christlike, both in our own lives and in relation to others. It is a wonderful and daunting challenge, and one which, by our baptism into a life with Jesus, we agree to take up.

The Kingdom Of Forgiveness
The kingdom of God is the kingdom of heaven and is the place where forgiveness is at home. God has already forgiven everything, past, present and to come, and the only question remaining is, can we forgive one another? Forgiveness is truth, revenge is a lie. Forgiveness is a gift, and it is needed by everyone, not just by those we consider to be sinners. In heaven everything will not be corrected, everything will be forgiven.Gerald O'Mahony's insightful and thought-provoking study of forgiveness includes a series of questions based on the individual chapters, ideal for group discussion.

Mersey Vespers
The life of Austin Smith shows how practical Christianity can be at one with the most intense and searching theological and philosophical thought. As a priest working with the dispossessed and disempowered - in particular with the black community of inner-city Liverpool - he has transformed lives. Just as transforming has been the effect this work has had on his understanding and experience of God. Over many years he has put on paper the insights gained and the profound questions posed by the ongoing process of spiritual discovery. These never-before-published writings re-examine every aspect of faith, entering into the realms of mysticism as frequently as they plea for re-engagement with the everyday concerns of humanity. A massively important book for all thinking Christians.

Rejoicing In The Year
We live in a world of rhythms and seasons. Each day has its sunrise and sunset, its day and its night: each year has its spring, summer, autumn and winter. The services in this book aim to give a rhythm to the year that is based on the Church's teaching and helps to keep us in touch with the complex patterns of ourselves and the world around us. They focus on the major festivals of the Church year, with opportunities for morning and evening prayer as well as for themed occasions such as birth and in times of darkness. In all our worship we affirm that God is always with us, he never leaves us: in his love he enfolds us. Rejoice, for the Lord is here and his presence is with us. The material in the book has been drawn from Candle Prayers, Rejoicing in Newness of Life, Welcoming the Light, The Way of the Cross and Remember War, Make Peace.
