Photocopy: PermittedThe Unfolding Story is a comprehensive parish resource for reflective worship on the Old Testament. It is designed for use in public worship or for quiet days, with the 80 meditations woven into themed ready-to-use orders of service.For many the Old Testament is a closed book - primitive and dull, often barbaric, irrelevant. To reconcile the God we find there with the God revealed in Jesus is sometimes hard.But it is also the story of a people's journey across centuries towards an ever-deepening understanding of God's greatness, love and mercy, all brought together in anticipation of the promised Messiah - a journey shared and continued by every Christian.The meditations which form the basis of the services in The Unfolding Story were previously published in Grappling with God. Nick Fawcett has now developed them into complete services with•an Introduction • Prayers • Hymn suggestions • Commentries • ReadingsNothing more to do, except pray them!

Cooking Up Worship
New Cover for 2015 Christian worship is exciting, innovative and life- changing - or at least that's what it should be. If your church isn't like that, then you need this book. Too often the Church is like a restaurant whose clientele is dwindling because the chef doesn't seem to care what the customer wants. What's on offer is stodgy, dull and unattractive.David Flavell makes no apology for being controversial in his assessment of the present state of affairs but goes on to provide constructive, well-presented and easily understood guidelines for cooking up services that are attractive and give glory to God. There is no need for a degree in theology, music or cuisine; the requirements are the desire to reach people where they are and at the same time to please God - simple but profound.

Praying As Jesus Taught Us
'Stillness and silence run counter to our culture, and many of us therefore find them unnatural and rather threatening or uncomfortable. Yet it is so often in the discipline of stillness that God can engage with our spirits and be known to us.' These sixteen liturgies all include periods of space with help and encouragement for using stillness as worship. Together they form an extended reflection on the Lord's Prayer, but each service also stands on its own, using one of the sixteen words or phrases from the prayer as a starting point for reflecting on a different aspect of faith.Each service also includes 'liturgical conversations' through which individuals' thoughts and reflections can be voiced corporately. There are times of intercession and singing, with suggested hymns, and passages of scripture. Photocopy: Permitted

Rejoice With Me
'Christ dwells in you in your present situation.He does not wait for your perfection.He accepts your brokenness as his home.'Psalm 23, 'The Lord is my Shepherd', describes the psalmist as a trusting sheep, travelling through both pleasant and difficult terrain, always in the reassuring presence of God. The psalm is for all of us, yet when troubles come - which they inevitably do - rather than feeling God's loving presence we may start to doubt his love; instead of feeling safe, we experience fear, guilt, hurt and loneliness - the loneliness of a lost sheep.In Rejoice with Me Annie draws on the parable of the lost sheep and other imagery from the Bible and the natural world. She writes from her own personal experience to offer reflections, prayers and questions for self-development for anyone with an interest in considering life's difficulties from a biblical perspective.Ideal as a spiritual accompaniment for individuals as well as pastoral support groups and churches asking how to meet the needs of individuals and communities and how to live lovingly and with integrity in the twenty-first century.
