Signs Along The Way
When making a journey to a new destination by car or on foot, it is helpful to have some guidance as to the direction in which to head and the possible difficulties that may be faced.Life as a Christian is often spoken about as a pilgrimage or a journey of faith, and this too needs a guide book and aids. It would be simple just to say that the Bible is the guide book and to expect every Christian to use it on their journey, but the Bible requires some explanation, and some help in making best use of it, just as reading a map is a skill that needs to be acquired and practised.Aimed primarily for use in small groups, this six-week course could also be used for individual study. Each session begins with a short reflection based on Bible readings, there are questions to initiate discussion and prayers to finish.Contents• Choosing a destination - starting at the end• Dead end or one way• Trouble ahead - not an easy route• Children and old folk - watching out for others• Traffic lights and signals - obeying and listening to God• Gradient - a slippery slope or a climb to Calvary

Revelations Of Glory
Saints are not set apart as perfect or sinless, for they have the same weaknesses as all humans, but they are who God has called them to be and in being themselves, they reveal God's glory. Saints are people who work in common union with God and he is seen at work in their lives. This book is to introduce you to some of the people who are heroes of the Church and are revelations of God's glory. We share a common union with them, for we have the same Creator and Redeemer and the same Spirit of God: in God we are one with them.Each celebration of a saint follows the same format: a short introduction to the saint's life, the Scripture readings for the saint's day, which are taken mainly from the Common Worship Lectionary, an opening prayer, intercessions, the peace and a blessing.Together with its companion volume Icons of Glory, this book will encourage you to explore the common union to which we all belong and to discover God's call to you, which is unique. This is a call to be a fellow worker with God and to reveal his glory in your life. To see full contents Click Here
