Our Broken World
A Haven in the Storm 'Here today and gone tomorrow' - a succinct summary of the transient nature of life, but while the con- stant flux of this world is part of its fascination it also brings heartache, so much that we love inevitably plucked from us. Does anything stay the same? For the Christian the answer is a resounding yes, our faith rooted in the changeless God whose loving purpose never alters, his faithfulness having inspired, encouraged, comforted and enthralled generations of believers across the years. The prayer-poems in this book articulate the sense of confusion and loss that change can bring but express also God's promise to be with us come what may. They are designed to speak both for us and to us.Finding Forgiveness If some Christians can be accused of self-righteousness, the problem for most is the opposite: an all-too-painfulness awareness of their failings. Such an awareness has its place, if it leads to a genuine desire to change, but the last thing God wants is for anyone to struggle through life burdened by a sense of guilt or shame. At heart the gospel is about God's love and mercy, his offer of forgiveness for all through Christ.The prayer-poems in this book - some general, some more specific - articulate those two aspects: the frustration and sorrow we feel at our repeated faithlessness but also the assurance of God's unfailing grace. They are designed to speak both for us and to us.Our Broken World Where is God in our world today? News headlines seem to be dominated by stories of evil, sorrow and suffering, and as Christians we struggle as keenly as anyone to make sense of it all. How can we possibly talk of a loving God amid so much that seems to question or deny his presence? The prayer-poems in this book make no pretence to offer easy answers to such conundrums, but attempt rather to articulate our sense of confusion yet also the faith we hold on to despite them. They are designed to speak both for us and to us.Living with Loss To lose a loved one is one of the most testing experiences we will ever face, bringing a bewildering roller-coaster of emotions: grief, guilt, panic, anger and confusion, to name but some. How do we cope with such feelings? How can we channel them constructively rather than let them eat away within? How can we make sense of death and our own continuing life? For the Christian such questions are as pressing as any. The prayer-poems in this book - each written from personal experience - do not promise easy answers, but attempt to wrestle with the devastating trauma of bereavement while also offering words of hope, comfort and encouragement in the light of God's eternal promises. They are designed to speak both for us and to usContentsIntroductionThe unchanging GodOur refuge and our strengthHope in despairGod with usThe wonder of creationThe cycle of the seasonsfaith, come what mayBeneath the surfaceA cry for helpThe ever-present GodGod's awesome devotionA Haven in the StormCounting our blessingsThe assurance of faithKeeping faithA love like no otherThe transforming grace of GodA haven in the stormGrateful responseA prayer from the heartOur eternal hopeThe constancy of God's loveFinding ForgivenessIntroductionLord, forgive meTaking stockPride goes before a fallTrue richesCelebrating God's goodnessFaith in actionFlawed discipleshipLearning to loveLove divineStewardship of creationGood intentionsGod's way not oursAmazing graceGiving our allRenewed commitmentThe vital ingredientGlimpsing God's presenceA faith that showsOur Broken WorldIntroductionA divided worldBehind the labelsA world in needFaith in actionPraying for othersFaith and doubtThe riddle of lifeOne people?Questions of faithFor those who care enough to show itWhen God seems distantHope in times of confusionFor the elderly and infirmThe shadow of deathOur eternal homeLiving with LossIntroductionThe pain of lossFacing the truthLetting goThe shadow of deathHonestly rememberedGetting byNew beginningsDefeat and victoryFaith in things unseenThe price of lovingThanks for the memoriesThanksgiving for a parentComfort those who mournThe promise of new lifeA love that conquers deathWe'll meet again

The Good Shepherd
This story is based upon the parable that Jesus taught. However, it is a little different. It centres around two pests. The first is a lion who thinks he's more than a match for the Good Shepherd (but guess who wins!). The second is a character called Boing who resists even the best endeavours of the Good Shepherd. Boing's behaviour eventually leads to tragic consequences, and in the process of trying to bring him back to the flock the Good Shepherd's body is pierced by cruel thorns. About John Stewart These beautifully crafted illustrations and carefully constructed stories charm and inspire on many levels. John Stewart delivers a powerful gospel message with a delicate touch. Living in Wimborne, Dorset, John has been writing stories since he gave his life to the Lord in 1975.

God's People At Worship Together
All-age worship does not mean uniformity. Rather, it is about accessibility, flexibility, imagination, humility and unity, as God's people worship together.Susan Sayers draws on her huge experience in providing worship material for all ages to explore what it means to be God's all-age community and how to express this through worship.With practical suggestions for each season of the Church year, and for each Sunday of the three-year lectionary, God's People at Worship Together will help to affirm the fundamental truth that an essential sign of the kingdom is to work at becoming a community of God's people.

The Unfolding Story
Photocopy: PermittedThe Unfolding Story is a comprehensive parish resource for reflective worship on the Old Testament. It is designed for use in public worship or for quiet days, with the 80 meditations woven into themed ready-to-use orders of service.For many the Old Testament is a closed book - primitive and dull, often barbaric, irrelevant. To reconcile the God we find there with the God revealed in Jesus is sometimes hard.But it is also the story of a people's journey across centuries towards an ever-deepening understanding of God's greatness, love and mercy, all brought together in anticipation of the promised Messiah - a journey shared and continued by every Christian.The meditations which form the basis of the services in The Unfolding Story were previously published in Grappling with God. Nick Fawcett has now developed them into complete services with•an Introduction • Prayers • Hymn suggestions • Commentries • ReadingsNothing more to do, except pray them!

Cooking Up Worship
Christian worship is exciting, innovative and life- changing - or at least that's what it should be. If your church isn't like that, then you need this book. Too often the Church is like a restaurant whose clientele is dwindling because the chef doesn't seem to care what the customer wants. What's on offer is stodgy, dull and unattractive.David Flavell makes no apology for being controversial in his assessment of the present state of affairs but goes on to provide constructive, well-presented and easily understood guidelines for cooking up services that are attractive and give glory to God. There is no need for a degree in theology, music or cuisine; the requirements are the desire to reach people where they are and at the same time to please God - simple but profound.
