What Happens When We Pray
Does It Make a difference?Prayers may be formal or informal, carefully composed or on the spur of the moment.They might be in the form of confessions or thanksgivings, and often they are requests made to God on behalf of ourselves or for others.Does prayer change anything and what do our prayers say about the kind of God we believe in?Without shying away from philosophical and theological difficulties posed by the practice of prayer, John Saxbee provides an accessible and ultimately reassuring account of how prayer properly understood enlivens and enriches our relationship to God, our neighbour and the world around us.What Happens When We Pray? is a study with a pastoral purpose, touching on matters which are as emotionally sensitive as they are intellectually intriguing. It is an encouragement to think about what we are doing when we pray and a stimulus to pray with ever more conviction and commitment.

24/7 Christianity
In a world bursting with sorrow, Christians are called to be hope-filled. This is a book full of hope. The Gospel is good news and this book is filled with good news. In this book we discover how God reveals himself through his pilgrim people. As pilgrims we need to discard much of our heavy baggage and constraints. We need to travel light. When we do this we discover that the Body of Christ is living and moving. Jesus is always on the move. He strides across the pages of history. He calls us to run with him. His pace may be fast. 24/7 Christianity helps us to focus on the real nature of Christ present with his people. Michael Apichella reasserts that God is real, not imaginary, that he is present, not absent and that he is speaking, not silent.

Living With God
Inspired by the healing ministry of Jesus, as described in the Gospels, Norman Renshaw provides here an eight-session course on health and healing.

Equally of value for both group and individual study, and with practical suggestions and examples of how to let God shape our behaviour and attitudes in daily living, Living with God is not for those who wish simply to talk about faith, but those who wish to live it.
