From The Stable To The Cross
Christmas is a beautiful story, familiar and loved. But Christmas is only the beginning – the start of a journey that leads all the way to Easter and beyond. This service takes people on that journey, as seen through the eyes of the Gospel writer Luke, using drama, Bible readings and songs which are contained on the accompanying tracks. Appropriate for use at any time from Christmas to Easter, it is an occasion for praise, worship and outreach, telling the familiar story of Christmas and the not-so-familiar story of 'what happened next'. Contents As Mary heard the angelMy soul will praise the LordThe cry of a babyThe shadow of a crossFrom the stable to the crossWe'll sing the Gospel story

In All Senses
Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste are the five physical senses, but there are many more senses we can use to explore the meaning of Christmas - a sense of balance, a sense of justice, a sense of wonder, a sense of mystery, a sense of purpose, and so on. In all Senses focuses on these many senses, making connections through them with the Jesus story and the Christian journey. For each day of the four weeks of Advent there is a reading, reflection, response and a prayer. By exploring the story of Christ's birth through all our senses we can come to it afresh, welcome him with renewed delight and worship him with a deeper sense of intimacy.

Hannah Devotions
A month in the presence of the mother of SamuelHannah might seem to us impossibly remote: a woman in a desert town who lived three thousand years ago and as many miles away; a second wife who longed for a son and then - extraordinarily - gave him away.

It captures every word of this faithful woman's spontaneous song of praise.The 30 meditations in this book encourage you to spend a month in Hannah's company Each day links an aspect of Hannah's story with a Bible reading, which is accompanied by a short reflection and a prayer.It is said that we can't really know a person until we have walked a mile in their shoes: why not spend a month walking in Hannah's faithful footsteps, to see where she and God might lead you?

Pictures Of The Early Church
Welcome to the New TestamentThis book is an invitation to read the 27 documents that make up the library we call 'the New Testament'. They come in different shapes and sizes; there are the five (yes, five) narratives that we call 'gospels'. And there are other documents that we call 'letters', though not many of them are the kind of thing you might receive in today's post.All of them have something to do with, indeed each of them sheds a different light on, the remarkable person whom we call Jesus of Nazareth, who was put to death because the political authorities could not cope with him, and whom God raised from that appalling death.This book will tell you how the New Testament works, and how it could change your life.Contents 1. Starting with Paul (because he came first): the letter to the Galatians2. Paul's earliest letter and his shortest: 1 Thessalonians and Philemon3.

Hearts On Fire
Two travellers on the road to Emmaus said to each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road?' These meditations celebrate the joy of meeting up with Jesus, of knowing the risen Lord. They rejoice that Jesus is alive and present with us now. There is a meditation for each day from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday after Easter. Each meditation has a passage of Scripture, where the life-giving powers of God are seen to be at work. The aim is to help us spend time with the risen Lord. To explore the Scripture readings, David Adam uses the ancient tradition of Lectio Divina, Holy Reading. The purpose of these meditations is not study, though information is provided, but to be still in the presence of God and rejoice in his saving power.
