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.

Reheated sermons are about as palatable as reheated microwave meals: they fill you up but are ultimately unsatisfying and neither tasty nor nutritious. As we thrive on fresh food seasoned well, so also we grow in faith from sermons that present us with new insights into the Bible and challenge us with God's truth.Drawing on over 30 years' experience of preaching in settings as diverse as large Christian events and under a baobab tree in Africa, Paul Canon Harris provides sermon outlines and reflections on the gospel and other readings in the three-year lectionary cycle. He writes preacher to preacher, giving an outline, insight and illustrations for others to use in their own preparation.Paul Canon Harris is an Anglican priest, writer and poet. He has trained and encouraged many younger preachers in the UK and abroad and is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 2's Pause for Thought and other radio stations. He is a Canon Emeritus of Gloucester Cathedral.Season the Preaching is an invaluable resource for preachers, group leaders and students of the gospels.

Tackling difficult subjects from the pulpit is not an easy task: it takes a degree of courage and sensitivity. Reluctance to risk such preaching often stems from simply not knowing how to go about it. There are many more difficult subjects than could be addressed in the first book of this series, so here are a further 72 topics from Abortion to Wealth, Fraud to Promiscuity, and even the contentious issue of Superstition. Each subject includes a biblical text, some background information, sermon ideas, a story and a thought to take away, with the authors bringing their own expertise and particular style to the format.AuthorsRupert Bristow, Jocelyn Bryan, Tony Castle, Helen Costigane, John Cox, Paul Cox, Brian Fahy, Brendan Geary, Ed Hone, Deborah Jones, Bruce Kent, Alison Moore, Chris Morley, Paul Nicholson, Siobhán O'Keeffe, John Parr, Robert Reiss, Clare Richards, Edgar Ruddock, John Saxbee, Ray Simpson, Joy Tetley, Helen WarwickContents

There are at least two things that can be terrifying for a preacher - a blank piece of paper and a Scripture passage set by the lectionary that you really do not want to preach on. Just as the lectionary itself can produce difficulties, so can issues from life's experiences - experiences that we may not ourselves have had but which are certainly faced by many people. These difficult subjects present a challenge to the preacher who seeks to bring to them the Word of God, the Gospel message.
This book offers a valuable resource for preachers who want to tackle these subjects and who are looking for help both in terms of background information and the light the Christian faith can shine on them. Each section deals with a different subject by offering a suitable biblical passage, some background information, ideas to help the preacher and a story that could be used as an illustration in the sermon. There is a concluding 'Thought to take away'.
The contributors all have expertise or particular interest in the subjects they tackle and bring both knowledge and Christian insight. While following the same pattern, they bring their own style and approach which adds variety and flexibility. The sermon ideas are not intended as scripts to be preached from but as a stimulus for preachers to draw on in creating their own sermons - just the kind of help that the fear of the blank piece of paper looks for.

Russell Herbert believes that it is essential that churches enable all ages to grow together. This book explores how church need not be something to 'grow out of' - rather it can and should be something we grow through.Drawing on the theology and psychology of faith development as well as his own experience as a preacher and worship-leader, the author gives practical guidance for engaging the imaginations of all ages through music, prayer, presenting a message and enabling a response.

Puppets are becoming an ever more popular medium for education and entertainment in schools, churches and theatres.Their larger-than-life characters and visual appeal fascinate audiences, young and old alike.This DVD and informative handbook take you through the art of bringing puppets alive. With clear instructions, step-by-step guides to rehearsal and sketches to put each step into practice, this manual is ideal whether you are working alone or setting up a team of puppeteers.From the smallest glove puppet to all kinds of large stage puppets, and from simple storytelling to team puppetry behind a screen, our essential how-to guide will help you to unlock the potential of this versatile art form.Puppets have some unique abilities and purposes that stem from the fact that they are able to act like people without actually being people. In education, this is important because the puppet can carry a burden which a person is unable or unwilling to carry.When a puppet is wrong, it is funny, but not embarrassing. When a puppet is sad, it invites empathy, but not sorrow.When a puppet asks a silly question, children feel good because they know the answer. The puppet doesn't feel stupid. It is surely this thick-skinned quality which makes a puppet such a useful tool in ministry. Featuring a range of useful sections, including using your puppet, starting to talk and behind the screens,this great new resource takes you through the "dos and don'ts" of puppetry to insure you are using this popular method to its greatest potential. Complete with an accompanying DVD of instructions and suggestions,this guide is a must-have for anyone involved in children's ministry.

When making a journey to a new destination by car or on foot, it is helpful to have some guidance as to the direction in which to head and the possible difficulties that may be faced.Life as a Christian is often spoken about as a pilgrimage or a journey of faith, and this too needs a guide book and aids. It would be simple just to say that the Bible is the guide book and to expect every Christian to use it on their journey, but the Bible requires some explanation, and some help in making best use of it, just as reading a map is a skill that needs to be acquired and practised.Aimed primarily for use in small groups, this six-week course could also be used for individual study. Each session begins with a short reflection based on Bible readings, there are questions to initiate discussion and prayers to finish.Contents• Choosing a destination - starting at the end• Dead end or one way• Trouble ahead - not an easy route• Children and old folk - watching out for others• Traffic lights and signals - obeying and listening to God• Gradient - a slippery slope or a climb to Calvary
