Seeking The Way
Themed quiet days for those of all faiths and none - by Nick FawcettIn our restless modern world, in which many seem as troubled and stressed as they have ever been, we need to make time to be still, to commune with something beyond ourselves. This book aims to help in enabling just that, offering a resource for the staging of Quiet Days or reflective events on a variety of themes and, if so wished, for those of all faiths or none. Rather than dealing with overtly religious issues, it approaches everyday matters from a spiritual perspective, covering themes as diverse as anxiety, anger, sorrow, friendship, suffering, envy, truth, loneliness and numerous others, each moving from the negative to the positive, the life denying to the life affirming. Here is a book that will help many to find the guidance in their daily lives they so urgently seek.

Candle Prayers
Light has long been a symbol of power and hope, a reminder of the abiding presence, peace and love of God; of triumph over darkness. The services in this book take inspiration from the many different ways candlelighting has been used over the centuries for devotion and thanksgiving. There are services for special occasions including Advent, Titles of the Christ (the 'O Antiphons'), Easter and All Saints as well as for relevant themes: Birth, Journeying and for times of darkness. They are adaptable so that they can be used at the lighting of the candles in church before the Eucharist, at home as an evening devotion, at the start of a Bible group, or with each candle prayer used as a meditation in itself. Each service is structured to include a welcome, candle-lighting, special intention and closing prayer, with a focus on quiet reflection in the presence of God and the aim of carrying his light out into the world.

Instructions are given to help the nervous leader, while those more experienced can just pick up the prayers and go.The accompanying downloads provides many of the resources needed for the prayers, while other suggested resources include essential oils, honey and glow-sticks!

Travelling Together
This is an invaluable book for catechists who, week-by-week, guide and support those who seek membership of the Catholic Church. This process is called 'The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults' (RCIA) which culminates in Lent and reaches fulfilment at Easter. In order for it to be an engaging 'process', a shared journey in faith, rather than a series of talks, much resource material is needed to assist the catechists.Thus Travelling Together is not another programme; it is a treasury, or compendium, of resource material that can be used to support an existing programme. You'll find the entire resource on the accompanying CD-ROM/downloads.There's easy-to-use guidance for the catechists; a glossary, information sheets that can be taken home for further reading and discussion outlines that can prompt interactive involvement, enriching the process as the group travels together towards Easter.

All-Sorts Prayer 2
All-Sorts Prayer 2 offers an imaginative and often surprising collection of prayer ideas. Who would have thought that feathers, mirrors, ping pong balls, sand and After Eight mints could be used in prayer? All these and more are arranged in different sections to help worship leaders vary the prayers they offer. Here are prayers which use music, gesture, action, the senses, creative responses, mark-making, silence or tangible objects. By popular demand, the biggest section ('Prayers where we are') contains interactive prayers for those people who physically can't get up easily during a service -and for those congregations who simply won't! All-Sorts Prayer 2 also offers a fresh collection of seasonal prayers for the Church's special occasions. Have you ever found yourself thinking, 'Help! I've got to produce informal intercessions for this week's Harvest Festival'? If so, then this is definitely the book you need.

Daily Lent Reflections
To deepen our devotional life we need a focus for our thoughts, spiritual food to nurture our faith and discipleship. Daily Lent Reflections makes more accessible the spiritual sustenance already offered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.For each of the 40 days of Lent, there are readings, reflections, prayers and points to ponder on themes such as forgiving others, doing that little bit extra in God's service, choosing the way of the kingdom instead of the often-enticing 'way of the world', seeking God's will rather than our own, valuing and respecting others.How do we work out such ideas in terms of daily life? What are their implications for us today? This book sets out to answer such questions, bringing home the challenge, promise, encouragement and inspiration implicit within the teaching of Jesus.
