Intercessions For A Hurting World
In a hurting world that needs praying for more than ever, Nick Fawcett provides a new collection of a hundred jargon-free prayers to meet that need.Avoiding religious jargon and using instead, language that speaks to all, he provides an invaluable resource for those leading intercessions in public worship, so that they may pray meaningfully, thoughtfully and confidently.Intercessions for a Hurting World doesn't simply remind us of matters we sometimes ignore or forget, it also brings home the reality of human need and prompts us into action.As Nick says: '... we need to pray in the modern-day vernacular and, as far as possible, in words that speak to non-believers as much as believers. We need to include rather than exclude, to welcome in rather than shut out.'ContentsClick here to view the full contents

Strive And Thrive With The Psalms
Do the 150 Psalms of the Bible have any relevance for us in the twenty-first century? In 365 bite-sized pieces, Pam Pointer shows how the situations and sentiments expressed in the psalms resonate with us today. Human nature doesn’t change so the topics of fear, joy, despair, music, dancing, nature, anxiety, anger and elation are as relevant now as when the psalms were written. Each short piece contains a question, a few verses to look up and read, a comment, a challenge or encouragement, and a prayer suggestion. Strive and Thrive with the Psalms can be a daily companion. We strive in the challenging situations that impact us each day and, whatever our circumstances, we thrive on the goodness of God.

The Prison Letters
From Matt McChlery Paul's third missionary journey ended in Jerusalem, where he encountered an angry and violent mob who almost killed him. His life was saved by some Roman soldiers who arrested him and he ultimately ended up in prison in Rome where he awaited trial as a Roman citizen. His imprisonment lasted two years, with his life hanging in the balance. During this time, Paul wrote a number of letters to his friends and churches he had planted that are packed full of practical and spiritual advice for Christian living that we can still learn from today. The Prison Letters will take you on a thematic 40-day journey through the books of Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Packed full of personal anecdotes and wisdom, the message Paul conveyed to his readers during his imprisonment is brought to life. Are you ready to tear open the envelopes and unfold the pages of these powerful letters? As you do, you will discover how you can live for Jesus in a more real and intimate way.

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

Her helpful guidance on how and where these prayers might be used is generous and honest."
