What Happens When We Pray
Does It Make a difference?Prayers may be formal or informal, carefully composed or on the spur of the moment.They might be in the form of confessions or thanksgivings, and often they are requests made to God on behalf of ourselves or for others.Does prayer change anything and what do our prayers say about the kind of God we believe in?Without shying away from philosophical and theological difficulties posed by the practice of prayer, John Saxbee provides an accessible and ultimately reassuring account of how prayer properly understood enlivens and enriches our relationship to God, our neighbour and the world around us.What Happens When We Pray? is a study with a pastoral purpose, touching on matters which are as emotionally sensitive as they are intellectually intriguing. It is an encouragement to think about what we are doing when we pray and a stimulus to pray with ever more conviction and commitment.

Heart Of The Bible
Storytelling is a vital part of our faith: people passing on the stories of their belief by word of mouth or in written form. Written in child-friendly language, this book follows that tradition, enabling children to hear the stories of their faith as engaging and interesting accounts of real events and real people. Key events and people have been selected and arranged so that, in the Old Testament, children can understand the developing story of the people of God and, in the New Testament, they can easily access different aspects of the life and ministry of Jesus. This is an ideal book for reading at home, for church and also for school, where it gives children ready access to the stories they need to underpin their work in RE lessons. It allows them to understand their story as a people of God.

On The One Road
Behind every good man there is a good woman, an old saying has it, and in the case of Brian Fahy, there are two good women - so the force is definitely with him!In the run of his life Brian was blessed with a good Irish mother, Ellen, and with a lovely Irish/Scots lassie, Margaret. These two women sustained and supported Brian on the long road into the promise of priesthood, through the pain of priesthood, and out into the sunlight and simple joys of love.In telling this story about the road he has travelled, Brian wants to tell other stories too; stories about many of the people he has met along life's highway. The road we travel is the 'One Road', and though the details of our stories may differ in every respect, the human journey is the same. Sometimes it feels like a road to 'God knows where' and we are lost, but we travel the road together and we can help each other to find the way.Brian always wanted to write this story, but he needed a push. That push came in the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Margaret. Brian is good with words, Margaret had said, and so out of love for her and for his mother, he has put these words together.

A Day Away
Problem-solving and decision-taking in a church setting cannot be assumed to be the role of the priest or minister. One way of sharing such responsibilities is to get together and discuss them within structured meetings or preferably during a day away. This book gives practical help in planning these days and provides guidance in tackling such issues as: Visioning, Vacancy, Finances and Welcoming. Paul Cox went into parish ministry in 1990, having been a teacher for 24 years, the last 10 of which he was a chaplain and headmaster of a prep school. For 16 years he served in rural parishes in Canterbury Diocese. At times, he was in addition part-time Director of Selection and Training for Readers, Bishop's Officer for NSMs and then OLMs. On retirement to Chichester Diocese he tutors on courses for the Bishop's Certificate and is an examining Chaplain.
