Welcome to your Spring magazine!

Dear Friends, Many of this month’s big books seem to have an Anglican flavour!

Tom Wright has a brand new book introducing the person and impact of the apostle Paul in a compelling analysis of his life and the world in which he wrote and taught. You can find Paul: A Biography on p13.

In Reimagining Britain, Archbishop Justin Welby is concerned with the moral fibre and well-being of the nation, and puts forward a radical, yet compassionate, agenda for the church and the nation.

And three other ‘heavyweights’ also publish their books: Rowan Williams with Being Human (p11), a new paperback edition of the bestselling book, Solitude, by Terry Waite (below) and Alister McGrath with The Landscape of Faith (also p11).

But big, important books are not just the prerogative of Anglican authors. This month also sees the release of some very exciting, challenging and inspiring books from evangelical authors around the world, including Jeff Lucas and Rob Bell (p3), Ann Voskamp (p16), Max Lucado (p19), Pete Greig (p8), and many more!

I hope you enjoy and benefit from this remarkable bonanza of great writing!

David Wavre, editor

Terry Waite Solitude

Some welcome it, others long to escape; we all experience solitude at different points. After years of solitary confinement, Terry wanted to find out more about the power of solitude. This is a book of encounters with those who experience it in different ways: remote landscapes; loneliness; city life; espionage; prisons; approaching death. In this bestseller (now in paperback) Terry offers unique insight into how solitude shapes us and can be worked into a force for good.

The Air I Breathe

Louie Giglio Worship is more than singing on Sunday, it's what makes us human. God sparked this desire in us from the day He breathed life into Adam and Eve. Since then, everyone who has walked this planet has participated in God's plan. While many squander their gift, others find wonder-filled life in communion with God. Freedom comes when worship flows through us as naturally as the air we breathe, when our words and actions resonate with our Creator. When we understand the holiness of God who knows the stars by name (and His overwhelming love for us) how can we offer any less? Louie Giglio explains in passionate prose what it means to truly live worship, with insight and guidance for finding our path.

What does it mean to aspire to human maturity? These are some of the fundamental questions Rowan Williams helps us to think about in this deeply engaging exploration of what it means to be human. The book ends with a brief but profound meditation on the person of Christ, inviting us to consider how, through him, 'our humanity in all its variety, in all its vulnerability, has been taken into the heart of the divine life'.

The Landscape of Faith

An Explorer's Guide To The Christian Creeds NEW Alister McGrath Taking a nondenominational approach similar to the "mere Christianity" advocated by C.S. Lewis, leading theologian Alister McGrath uses the creeds as a map and a framework to explore the teachings of Christian doctrines, their meaning, significance and continuing importance, and what it means to live a life of faith. In this new book, he tells of his discovery of Christianity while at Oxford University and takes you on a theological panoramic tour of the landscape of faith. Using the story of his crisis of faith, he looks at why Christians believe what they do, how we can understand it, and the difference it makes to the way we think about ourselves and our world so that you can find your own map to navigate faith's landscapes.

Theology & Faith God Created Humanism

Theo Hobson The origins and evolution of our secular worldview show how Christian values indispensably underpin our morality. This is a timely warning against the dangers of a culture war in this fresh and provocative look at religion and politics - but one that doesn't fit the normal boxes.

Although the creed of the West is best described as 'secular humanism' we can only understand and affirm it if we see how firmly it's based on Christian values. If we don't, the West is mired in a stagnant stand-off between fundamentalist atheism and hard-line Christian theism. This book offers a nuanced and historically persuasive way forward, showing how much our secular morality owes to Christianity and how it can only find coherence through its origins.

Examine themes and motifs used by New Testament writers to explain the cross of Christ - from classics and medieval theology to recent scholarship bringing them into contemporary context.

Stronger Than The Struggle

Havilah Cunnington "Why do I still struggle if I'm faithfully following God?" We all face challenges. Marriage, money, relationships, health... and that's just the beginning. The Bible says the war has already been won, yet we still struggle. With humour and honesty, Havilah cuts through the confusion and shows us how to discern whether we're dealing with internal battles, resistance from God, or spiritual warfare. Throw off misconceptions and understand what Jesus really said about spiritual authority and the certainty we have in him. These are practical tools to help you thrive and walk in the confidence that, because of Jesus, we really are stronger than the struggle.
