O Come, O Come Emmanuel - An Advent Course
Based on the traditional hymn 'O come, O come Emmanuel', John Cox's Advent course provides the opportunity for a reality check: the reality of who we are and what our world is, the reality of our hopes and fears. It encourages us to look afresh at the reality of Jesus, the One who comes and ask how much he is really a part of our lives.As we look forward at Advent, this book encourages us to look in other directions as well: to look around at those who are lost and alienated, at outcasts and refugees; to look within us and within the world; to look up to find hope and aspiration; to look with gratitude; and to look with the eyes of loving response as we meet with Christ, the One we long for, the One who we believe comes to meet our needs and those of our world.This short course of six sessions is intended for use by small groups but could equally be helpful for individual use in setting a framework for private study, devotion and reflection.ContentsAbout the authorIntroductionAdventWreaths and candlesThe Great AntiphonsLookingHow to use this bookThe sessionsLeadersMusic suggestionsSession one - God's welcome to allSession two - FreedomSession three - Light in the darknessSession four - Key of DavidSession five - Lord Almighty, the giver of the LawSession six - Emmanuel, God with us

Everything you need to tell that story in 60 minutes in a local church context, involving the differing gifts of an entire congregation, is here.

A Letter For Lent
Based on the Apostle Paul's letter to the Colossians, A Letter for Lent is an easy-to-follow, off-the-page, six-session group Bible study course. At the back there is also a short, personal Bible study for Monday to Friday of Holy Week, looking at the story of Onesimus in Paul's letter to Philemon.Hung on a framework of letter writing, the author examines topics such as encouraging each other in our faith, getting to know God better, taking on God's family likeness, and qualities which we should aspire to.The group course encourages all the members to participate in the discussion, including the sharing of personal testimony and life experience, and also in the prayer time. The application is both for the members of the group as individuals, but also collectively for the fellowships/congregations represented.The personal Bible study course focuses mainly on our personal spiritual journeys. It is more meditative than the group course and encourages a time to be still and quiet in God's presence each day. On Good Friday the focus is on making a prayer response to the Bible study's content and what God is saying to the reader through it.
