Abiding Grace
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 Celebrating and SharingBirthdays and anniversariesChurch MembershipEncouragementFaithFamilyFriendshipsGrandparenthoodKeeping fitLaughterLegacyLoveMusicPilgrimageRelationshipsRetirementThanksgivingThe BibleTravelVolunteeringWisdomCoping and HurtingCancerCareChangeDementiaDependenceDisability/InfirmityHealthHearing And Sight ImpairmentHeart AttacksLonelinessPainStrokesTechnologyRemembering and WorryingConfessing/Saying SorryDebtGolden AgeGuilt/ShameLossMemoriesRegretsRemembranceRemorseStory-tellingWorry and DespairPlanning and HopingDownsizingFuneralsHopeLetting goLife after deathMentoringMovingSaying goodbyeStepping DownTaking onWillsThe Lord's PrayerA general thanksgiving

Esther Devotions
How much do you know about Esther and why an Old Testament book bears her name? Who was she? When and where did she live? What did she achieve that is so memorable? What is the book of Esther about?Linda Ottewell looks at why Esther and her story are relevant and important today. To what extent can we identify with Esther and what can we learn from her?Esther has all the ingredients for a good story. It's exciting, gripping, inspiring, full of drama and romance, intrigue and subterfuge, conflict, tension and danger. However, it is much more than simply a good story. Despite not being spoken of explicitly, God's presence is felt throughout. The chapters clearly demonstrate God's faithfulness, sovereignty, compassion, grace and mercy, and his loving care for his chosen people.This devotional contains 30 meditations - a daily reading for a month. A brief introduction for each section leads into a Bible reading, followed by a short reflection, with questions or a thought to ponder, and then a closing prayer.

Be Comforted
Years of helping people with their mental and emotional health have taught Philip Eley that there are no quick fixes and there are no solutions which work for everyone. He presents here an empathic, realistic approach to mental health and what the Bible has to say on the subject. Be Comforted is a meditation on the seven stages of grief, detailing how the Bible can help us in each of these stages. The author shows how the Bible addresses mental health with a whole rainbow of approaches. There’s a place for positive thinking but also for trusting God with our difficulties and engaging with more complicated and nuanced references, such as laments, times when God hides his face, writers who wrestled with God and expressed their negative emotions.
