In the selection of fourteen readings, reflections and prayers Nick Fawcett highlights some of the most unforgettable passages from the Old Testament. Drawn from his book Daily Prayer and from three of his Fawcett Bible Studies, here are readings to encourage, renew and inspire.Contents:Genesis 28:10-13a, 16-17 An unexpected encounterDeuteronomy 33:27 The everlasting arms of GodJoshua 1:1-6 I will be with youRuth 1:8-17 Voice of the outsider1 Samuel 17:43-45, 48-49 David and Goliath1 Kings 19:11b-13 The still, small voicePsalm 23 The Lord's my shepherdPsalm 139:7-12 A God here, there and everywhereEcclesiastes 3:1-8 A time for everythingIsaiah 6:1-8 Send meIsaiah 55:6-9 The God beyond usIsaiah 55:10-11 A God we can depend onEzekiel 11:17a, 19-20 A different heart and a new spiritDaniel 3:13-14, 16-18 The fiery furnaceHosea 11:1, 3-4, 8-9 A love that will not let me goAmos 5:18-24 An outer veneerINTRODUCTIONSome passages of the Bible stand out in the memory, don't they? While the whole of Scripture is important, neglected at our peril, certain verses capture our imagination or speak to us in a way that few others can begin to. Who can forget the words of the 23rd psalm, the parables of Jesus, or the wonderful teaching of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 on the gift of love? These are just some of the countless passages to have encouraged, comforted, strengthened and inspired Christians across the centuries.We must, of course, beware of being too selective when it comes to reading the Bible, or we will wind up avoiding whatever might challenge our particular viewpoint, thus effectively closing our ears to anything that God might wish to say to us. He has an uncanny knack of speaking through the most unlikely of verses, stretching our horizons and disturbing the comfortable status quo. On the other hand, well-loved verses can remind us of the underlying realities of the gospel, offering reassurance in times of doubt, support in times of challenge and hope in times of despair. Some, indeed, become so familiar to us that they seem almost like old friends. We may even know them off by heart, yet their power to challenge, inspire and encourage remains undiminished, God continuing to speak through them in new and wonderful ways.In this short compilation I have drawn upon my book Daily Prayer and various volumes of my Bible Study series to offer brief reflections on 15 unforgettable passages from the Gospels, each supplemented by a simple closing prayer. The selection is inevitably a personal one, but I suspect many of the passages I have chosen will also feature among your own personal favourites. It is my hope that they will speak as powerfully to you as they have to me.Nick FawcettContentsGenesis 28:10-13a, 16-17 An unexpected encounterDeuteronomy 33:27 The everlasting arms of GodJoshua 1:1-6 I will be with youRuth 1:8-17 Voice of the outsider1 Samuel 17:43-45, 48-49 David and Goliath1 Kings 19:11b-13 The still, small voicePsalm 23 The Lord's my shepherdPsalm 139:7-12 A God here, there and everywhereEcclesiastes 3:1-8 A time for everythingIsaiah 6:1-8 Send meIsaiah 55:6-9 The God beyond usIsaiah 55:10-11 A God we can depend onEzekiel 11:17a, 19-20 A different heart and a new spiritDaniel 3:13-14, 16-18 The fiery furnaceHosea 11:1, 3-4, 8-9 A love that will not let me goAmos 5:18-24 An outer veneer

Tame Dog. Wild Wood.
From award-winning children's author, Eleanor Watkins, this book introduces Christian hope to a younger audience.
In the tradition of classic tales, such as Animals of Farthing Wood, this warm and heartfelt story can be used as an aid for children coming to terms with death and mortality._____________
Left alone by the roadside, Chas the puppy is rescued by a clan of kind-hearted badgers and learns how to survive in the wild. At first, the idea of hunting seems strange, but with the help of Sly the fox, he discovers the ways of the woodland and bravely faces a tough winter alongside his new animal friends.
But when Chas unexpectedly meets Joe, a farmer’s son, he is faced with a big decision - is he truly a wild dog, or is there a home waiting for him after all?

By Joy Margetts
Advent is a special time. We look forward with expectancy to Christmas. We get excited by lights and decorations and the joy on children’s faces. But this busy season can also find us with barely a moment to pause and think about the real reason why Christmas is so special.
Christ Illuminated contains 24 short daily devotions designed to help us take time, in the busyness of Advent, to focus on the One who is at the heart of it all. Each day it looks at a name or description of Jesus, taken from the Bible. We see Him as the Good Shepherd, the Light of the World, the Cornerstone, and much more.
With questions to ponder, suggested prayers and further reading, this little book will take you on a personal journey of discovery, in seeing Jesus for who He really is this Christmas.

Daily Reflections and Prayers for Advent'This Advent I invite you to set out on a pilgrimage - a journey towards a renewed and deeper encounter with God - something active, not simply read about, so there will be things to do each day. Let us set out together and may God be with us on the road.' Each year at Advent we are invited to revisit the stories of those who looked forward over the centuries to the coming of Christ. Travelling through the days and weeks, we recall the trials they faced and the goals they eventually reached. In this book, we are invited to reflect upon our own personal journey towards God in the course of our lives, and review our progress as the year draws to an end.Beginning with the first Sunday of Advent and travelling towards the birth of Christ at Christmas, the material for each day is divided into four parts: A gift to ask God for, A reflection for the road, Scripture to accompany you, and Words for the Journey.Let this book be your most rewarding companion to the season of Advent!

Footsteps to Bethlehem is a series of 31 daily reflections for Advent, inviting you to journey towards Christmas on a pilgrimage of transformation.Each day looks at the life of individual Bible characters, such as Mary and Joseph, Zechariah and Elizabeth, and reflects on how they coped with the major events in their lives. How did they respond when faced with the choice either to walk by faith, ever closer to God's light or to retreat from his light and love?The day's reflection begins with a comment on the chosen reading, followed by an invitation to consider two or three questions prayerfully and examine your own experiences of the Christian walk. A short prayer rounds off each reflection.

In this selection of fourteen readings, reflections and prayers, Nick Fawcett highlights some of his most unforgettable passages in the Gospels. Drawn from his book Daily Prayer and from three of his Fawcett Bible Studies, here are readings to encourage, renew and inspire.INTRODUCTIONSome passages of the Bible stand out in the memory, don't they? While the whole of Scripture is important, neglected at our peril, certain verses capture our imagination or speak to us in a way that few others can begin to. Who can forget the words of the 23rd psalm, the parables of Jesus, or the wonderful teaching of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 on the gift of love? These are just some of the countless passages to have encouraged, comforted, strengthened and inspired Christians across the centuries.We must, of course, beware of being too selective when it comes to reading the Bible, or we will wind up avoiding whatever might challenge our particular viewpoint, thus effectively closing our ears to anything that God might wish to say to us. He has an uncanny knack of speaking through the most unlikely of verses, stretching our horizons and disturbing the comfortable status quo.

Prayers for Later in LifeThe later years of life are as filled with blessings and challenges as those which come before. In Abiding Grace, Rupert Bristow provides a moving and heartfelt storehouse of prayers that enable the reader to reflect and meditate on them.Beginning as it should with celebration, Abiding Grace reminds us that there is much indeed to rejoice in, be that the simple joys of laughter, retirement, and even keeping fit! Rupert then gently guides the reader through the anxieties and worries that are an inescapable part of growing old. Regrets and mistakes are brought before God and through his grace we are released from our past.From birthdays and anniversaries, friends, family and wisdom, through to the time when we all face death, Abiding Grace is a rich and much needed aid for anyone turning to prayer in later life. Indeed, as Rupert writes, it is through God's saving grace and an awareness of his presence in our lives, 'that we can all seek to make the seamless transition from life to death without fear or regret, but in confidence and trust.'Contents
