Welcome to your October magazine! Dear Friends, Welcome to your October magazine, packed with new books and music covering a wide range of genres to inspire you as we approach Christmas. (You will also find an 'Advent Preview' with six pages of gifts, Advent books and children’s Christmas books, with many more available online!) Let me list a few highlights from this month's magazine: - Two billion people watched the royal wedding this summer and none were left unmoved by Bishop Michael Curry’s sermon! We feature two books by him: The Power of Love – which includes that sermon – and Crazy Christians, both on p16. Be ready to be moved again. - If you want an amusing read you could do worse than turn to A Field Guide to the English Clergy, among whom the ‘Mermaid of Morwenstow’, as eccentric as they came, but who most likely saved more souls from shipwreck and drowning than all other Anglican clergy combined! - This month sees the release of the much anticipated youth edition of the Good News Bible - it's packed with youth-friendly features and very tech-savvy! - ideal for your church as well as any young people in your life, including those who don't yet know Jesus. We can't recommend this Bible highly enough as a resource for the next generation. Find out more on p15. - Finally, can I recommend that you Enjoy God by Tim Chester (see p13)! Tim’s new book on how we see God is flying off the shelves and is proving a re-invigorating read for many! Whichever books catch your eye, we hope they inspire you across the autumn season.

Top Picks! A Spring Within Us
PRE-ORDER: Publishes 18th Oct
Richard Rohr 'The water I give will be a spring within you - welling up into infinite life.' John 4:14 A year of daily reflections inviting you to rediscover the spring hidden inside each of us. Richard Rohr reminds us of God's indwelling presence and that we are inherently beloved. Remembering who we truly are is a lifelong journey. Richard offers insights to ease the process and lead us back to our Source. Although each life moves at its own pace and in different ways, our growth does follow a common sequence - from innocence, through inevitable brokenness, to putting ourselves back together and ripening into union with self, God, the world and others. Rohr explores each stage, drawing from Scripture, Christian mystics, various faiths, psychology, science, and the Twelve Steps, reframing their concepts into daily reflections for the year. Each week includes an invitation to contemplative practice.

The Shattering of Loneliness
Erik Varden Loneliness is as universal as hunger. Because it affects us intimately, we rarely speak of it, but who hasn't known its ache? The fear of loneliness causes anguish and prompts recklessness. To this, every age has borne witness. No voice is more insidious than one that whispers in our ear: 'You are irredeemably alone, no light will pierce the dark.' The fundamental statement of Christianity is to convict that voice of lying with the certainty that the source of everything is in communion with us. We're made in God's image and bear the mark of that original communion in our being. When our souls cry out it's not a sign of sickness, but health. A cry Scripture exhorts us to remember, a remembrance that's part introspective and existential, and part historical as God's communion leaves traces in history. This book examines facets of remembrance with biblical exegesis and literature readings on what it means to be human. Pb | 192 pgs | CONTINUUM

Stephen Cottrell On a September morning Bishop Stephen Cottrell said mass in his chapel then walked to the station. It was the start of a 700km pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Choosing the least travelled route, he craved the solitude of the road and the vulnerabilities of not knowing what each day would bring - where meals or a bed would be found. As a busy man he looked forward to what the journey would reveal. This is a spiritual diary of that journey with reflections and prayer poems. Arranged in four sections, each with reflections and poems, the shape of the book echoes the rhythm of walking and is an intimate and honest account of the profound effect of the age-old tradition of pilgrimage.

Andrew Francis Jesus told his disciples to find somewhere they'd be a guest, eat with others, build friendships and teach the gospel - in that order - to seek the welfare of others by praying for and healing them; to meet their obvious needs.

Open to God: Open to the World Pope Francis presents his hopes and aspirations for the Church. His impact on the world is extraordinary. It's no surprise that he was voted Time Magazine 'Man of the Year' along with Martin Luther King and JFK. He has turned the Catholic Church upside-down, flung open the windows of the Vatican and purged it of corruption. But above all he's engaged with the poor and the marginalised. Where there are trouble spots in the world, he goes, and is in constant dialogue with not just the Catholic Church, but the world. In this new book are some of his most valuable engagements with people of all kinds. The Franciscan revolution is under way despite his vehement critics, revolutionising the way people see the church and each other. Pb | 224 pgs | CONTINUUM

The book of Psalms, side by side with expressions of deepest praise, contains cries of unfathomable despair. Both are not only acceptable to God, but essential for our mental and spiritual health.

Prayer & Spirituality Touched By God Luigi Gioia
Luigi's Say it to God was the Archbishop of Canterbury's 2018 Lent book. In his new book, he explores contemplation. Contemplation is not a more advanced way of praying, it's a greater awareness of the presence of God. The defining mark of this is that we become increasingly aware of God's presence, an inner peace and joy which has been described by spiritual authors with a variety of arresting and poetic ways. What Gioia describes is not a spiritual wonderland; it does not dispense us from struggles and doubts, it brings a peace which can flourish in the middle of struggles, a joy that we can discover even in suffering.

Rowan Williams Christ the Heart of Creation What we say about Jesus is key to understanding what Christian belief says about the Creator and creation. Texts from the earliest centuries to present day show the various, subtle ways Christians have discovered in their reflections on Christ the possibility of a deeply affirmative approach to creation, as well as ethics and politics. This book draws on insights from Eastern Christianity, Western Middle Ages and Reformed thinkers, from Calvin to Bonhoeffer as well as philosophers like Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein. Christ the Heart of Creation concerns fundamental issues for Christian belief, and Williams tackles them head-on, putting across what are inevitably complex ideas to a wide audience with clarity and wisdom.

This collection of writings is designed to communicate the Bible at a deeper level through 7 teachings. Find fresh insight to familiar names such as Moses, David, Isaiah, Solomon, Peter and Paul, all from the heart of pastorship. Pb | 400 pgs | HODDER & STOUGHTON

Pablo Martinez & Andrew Sims Imagine someone with a mind so healthy it never bothers him. Yet he is subject to taunting and false accusations. People turn against him. Friends desert him. He stands alone. 2000 years after his death, the taunts still fly. How can this man be discredited and silenced for once and for all? Or can he? Psychiatrists examine the most fascinating mind in history. Jesus had greater influence than any other, yet atheists often portray him as deranged. Consider Jesus' words and actions alongside fascinating insights from psychiatry in a captivating portrait. Pb | 208 pgs | IVP

The Culture of God
SAVE
£3
Father Nadim Nassar Nadim is the Church of England's only Syrian priest, and an outspoken advocate for western Christians to recognise their Middle-Eastern heritage. Father Nadim believes there are three cultures Christians need to understand when they read the Bible: the culture of the Bible itself, their own culture, and 'the culture of God'. Jesus had direct access to the culture of God; and so we need to understand Jesus in his own 1st Century Middle Eastern culture. This fresh and provocative book is an unfolding of what Nadim sees as the culture of God and how, when we understand it, it transforms our understanding of our faith.

The Quest for Mary Magdalene
Michael Haag Mary Magdalene has been portrayed as a prostitute, a wealthy woman, Christ's wife, an adulteress, a symbol of frailty and an object of veneration. She remains a potent and mysterious figure. This book follows her through the centuries, exploring how she has been reinterpreted and what she reveals about women, men and the divine. It investigates how and why the Church recast her as a fallen woman, it traces her story through the Renaissance when she became a goddess of beauty and love, and the feminist icon she is today.

Catherine Parks Every woman longs for authentic friendships with others, but in a world of carefully-curated social media, most of us are merely keeping up appearances. We're all prone to presenting our best. This book shows us that the secret to growing the relationships we crave is in developing a biblical habit of repentance. By being honest about our sin before God and receiving His forgiveness, we're freed to be honest about our sin with others. When we drop the act and allow ourselves to be vulnerable by sharing our struggles, not only are we strengthened in our fight against sin, but we experience authentic fellowship and real friendship. Catherine empowers women to fight side by side against life's sins, and shows how by getting real about our struggles, we can create genuine community in an "I'm fine" culture.
