Praying The Passion
The perfect daily companion for the Lenten season, this little book by Ken Taylor is a comprehensive narrative of the Passion using details and aspects of all four Gospel accounts. Mark's account is used as a base, and details unique to the other three Gospels are interwoven to produce a 'composite Passion'. This larger, fuller account is used as a springboard for meditation and prayer. For each day of Lent, there is one reading from the Passion on the left-hand page and one meditation on the right-hand page. The book contains three appendices: one of explanatory notes; one that describes a Passover Seder; and one with a suggested use of selections from the material within the congregation during Holy Week. Specifications Format: Paperback - Perfect Bound Size: 125 x 210 mm Publication date: November 1996 Page count: 112 pages ISBN: 9780862099022 Contents Introduction Praying the Passion Appendix 1: Explanatory notes Appendix 2: The Last Supper and Passover Appendix 3: Use in Holy Week

Cross Examined
The Crucified and Resurrection Christ are icons, objects of worship and veneration, and our understanding of them cannot be separated from their place in scripture, liturgy and devotion. In them we find Christ looking at us, disturbing us with questions which confront us, out institutions, relationships, self-image and out inner sense of being.This book addresses not only what we ask of Scripture, but what scripture asks of us. In investigating the Cross and the Resurrection, it is we who are cross-examined. In them we seek to glimpse something of the truth God has revealed and through them we hope to discover something more of the mystery which is ourselves.

Fast And Feast
Lent is traditionally a time of fasting. All too easily we can see fasting in negative terms - of things given up. But we should also consider what we could increase and do more of. This set of daily Lenten meditations suggests something of each - some things to give up and some to take on. To make use of it will be something of a Lenten discipline: a fast from some activities whilst nourishing hearts and minds. Fast & Feast is also suitable for personal reflection and prayer.

Christ Our Peace
Christ Our Peace offers six short, reflective services for use throughout Lent and Holy Week. Drawing on the early Church's tradition of using the weeks before Easter as a time of instruction, reflection and meditation, this collection provides one service for each of the four Sundays in Lent, together with Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday. Written by Stuart Thomas, the services are designed to be used flexibly. Each can stand on its own, but the individual elements - prayers, responses, songs and meditations - can equally be extracted and used in other contexts. The material is based on the ASB readings and themes for each Sunday in Lent, but is entirely independent and may be used by churches or Christian groups of any tradition. Recognising that quieter, more reflective services may not attract vast congregations, the book takes its inspiration from Christ's promise to be present 'wherever two or three are gathered'. There is space for silence and meditation, with suggestions for hymns from the New Anglican Edition of Hymns Old and New that match the thoughtful tone of the liturgy throughout. Specifications Format: Paperback - Perfect Bound Size: 160 x 245 mm Publication date: 1996 Page count: 32 pages ISBN: 9780862098988 Contents Introduction First Sunday in Lent Second Sunday in Lent Third Sunday in Lent Fourth Sunday in Lent Passion Sunday Palm Sunday

The Challenge Of The Lords Prayer
You've said the Lord's Prayer so often that you know it off by heart. But does it still challenge you? Can you truly stand up to the demands of this most holy and beloved of prayers?In his new book, The Challenge of the Lord's Prayer, author John Cox forces us to face the prayer of Jesus head on and not to pray it lightly. He provides valuable insights into its meaning and relevance today, raising important questions to challenge those who have the courage to pray this ancient prayer with a true and living faith.As John says: 'We sometimes think that prayer is all about asking, but in asking for things for ourselves, our very asking challenges us about what we are doing - in relation to God and in relation to others.'John Cox was ordained priest in the Anglican Church in 1968 and has worked as curate and rector of an inner-city ex-slum parish in Birmingham, as well as being Diocesan Director of Ordinands and Post-ordination training. Having retired twice, he now spends his time writing, playing golf and enjoying river cruises.The Challenge of the Lord's Prayer insists that we put God first in our praying and demands that, as we ask God for forgiveness, we consider the needs of others and how we, in turn, forgive them. And it calls us to stand up to the evil in our world today.Click here to view contents

Prayers For Saints
Most church traditions recognise the special Christian witness of individual men and women over the ages. Whether formally termed 'saints' or celebrated as pioneers and 'game-changers', many of whom were put to death for their faith, their lives are often astonishing and frequently inspiring.Rupert Bristow has put together the stories of these people, more than 670 in all, ranging from household names to almost forgotten figures, for every day of the year and has written an accompanying prayer for each one. Faithful to the dates these saints are commemorated, Prayers for Saints is an invaluable resource for church and home, study and worship - or as a start to further exploration of the impact made by these extraordinary people.The accompanying CD-Rom makes it easy to integrate the text into prayers, sermons and study material.
