Dear Hebrews
A letter back from a place of pain.After many years of engaging in all sorts of ways with the Letter to the Hebrews, Joy Tetley felt compelled to write a letter back to the unknown author."What has propelled me in this direction is the experience of journeying with my beloved husband through the long years of his dementia and terminal illness.During that time, and then in the period since his passing into heaven, the message of Hebrews has been of vital significance. I explore that with the author, sharing the help I have been given, but also, from a place of acute pain, raising some frank questions about some of the things Hebrews says.Hebrews urges us to be bold and direct in our relationship with God. In my letter back, I have tried to be just that." Contents A Covering note A Synopsis of Hebrews What is Heaven like?

Hope For Advent
An advent course from Susan Sayers Advent is a season in its own right. It's also the start of the entire Christian year. So how can we best honour it? We honour it by using it! It is the season which marks the start of the Christian year, so this is our opportunity to reflect on who on Earth the child is - not only in the manger, but throughout his life, and throughout our own lives, too. It's also a season to be lived in the dark. Light is promised but it's important to pay attention to the darkness as well.This Advent book is a kind of travel guide or maybe a theatre programme. You may be visiting familiar places and ideas, or places and ideas you haven't previously considered in quite the same way. You might be surprised to find our Advent journey linking with other seasons, so it isn't entirely about getting ready for Christmas.I can't promise you an entirely comfortable journey, but I hope it will be a journey that helps you travel through this coming year, on your own life pilgrimage, equipping you with hope in the darkness, whatever form that darkness takes for you.As there are four weeks in the Advent season, this book is in four sections. In each section there is a weekly prayer, then six short daily rflections, followed by suggestions for you to try. So as we journey through Advent there are questions to think about, suggested further reflection and action.May God bless us as we journey together.

New Testament Treasures
In this selection of readings, reflections and prayers, Nick Fawcett highlights some of the most unforgettable passages in the epistles of the New Testament and the book of Revelation. 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. 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 FawcettContents Romans 7:15, 19-25 Why do I do it?Romans 8:1-2, 38-39 No condemnationRomans 8:28 All things working together for good1 Corinthians 1:26-29 Use for the 'useless'1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Pressing on1 Corinthians 13:4-7 The greatest gift1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 51-52 Resurrection hope2 Corinthians 5:17 Lovingly restored2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Strength in weaknessEphesians 6:11-17 Equipped for battlePhilippians 2:1-11 True humilityPhilippians 3:10-14 A journey of discoveryPhilippians 4:4-7, 10-12 True contentmentHebrews 12:1-2 Running the race1 John 4:7-10, 16b The God of loveRevelation 3:20 Standing at the door
