Understanding The Faith

From Georgie Tennant The God Who Sees You is a series of 30 reflections to help us overcome the uneasy feeling that plagues so many of us: that we are unseen, unacknowledged, unloved, misunderstood. As Georgie Tennant takes us on a journey from the Old Testament through to the New, she examines the stories of a variety of Biblical characters - some household names and some unheard of - who felt these things too. As they encountered a God who saw them, understood them and called them higher, so too can you. Each reflection takes the reader deeply into the Biblical narrative and offers a suggestion for a song to listen to, connected to each theme, as well as questions for personal reflection to help you on your journey to feeling seen, valued and secure. "For any Christian who isn't constantly riding on the crest of a faith-wave (hint: that's all of us), Georgie's devotional is balm to the soul. A spiritual gem to return to whenever we're feeling invisible or insignificant: for this is the God who sees."- Lucy Rycroft Specifications Book Format - Paperback Published -  March 2023 Weight -  230g Page Count -   145 Dimensions -19.8 x 12.8 x 1.2 cm ISBN - 9781838581572 ISBN 10 -  183858157X

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."

Maybe you have reached a point in your spiritual life where you are beginning to feel tired, stressed, discouraged, lacking motivation, and possibly even distant from God. You might be feeling completely wrung out. Perhaps the busyness of life is placing pressure on you, preventing you from having the opportunity to rest, relax, and more importantly, to enjoy being with God. And, of course, busyness comes in many different forms, for example: vocational, parenting, volunteering, being a carer . . . and even in terms of church commitments. Or perhaps you are dealing with, or recovering from trauma or crisis in your life. Patrick Coghlan’s new eBook ‘Rooted In God’ explores all these subjects in a spiritual and helpful way to see us all through these turbulent times.
