Welcome to your September magazine!

Dear Friends, Welcome to our first Autumn magazine, and an end of summer sale leaflet. Sale items are available while stocks last - on a first-come, first-served basis - so get your order in fast! We have unlimited supplies of all other titles!

I am particularly excited about the Good News Bible: Youth Edition (page 16), the result of a joint editorial effort between Youth for Christ and The Bible Society. It really is a game-changer: interactive, cutting-edge, bringing the Bible alive and relevant as never before to a new generation.

We also have a new book from Luigi Gioia (page 3). Luigi is an Italian academic who has a gift of explaining various spiritual realities and traditions in an easy, clear, informative and inspirational way. Say it to God was a bestseller and a huge favourite with our readers, and I’m sure that his latest book Touched by God will be too.

Advent As we approach the Christmas season, to help churches plan their Advent study series we're presenting a short preview of new Advent books aimed at adults and children (pages 24-25). Our full selection will be featured in our October and November magazines, but if you can't wait, you can see our full selection online at aslanchristianbooks.com/advent Happy reading - we hope you're inspired!

Touched By God

The Way to Contemplative Prayer Luigi Gioia

PRE-ORDER: Publishes 20th Sept

NEW

Luigi Gioia's Say it to God was the Archbishop of Canterbury's 2018 Lent book. In his new book, Gioia 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 awareness is that we become increasingly aware of God's presence, a unique 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 and often the non-evidence of God. It brings a peace which can flourish in the middle of struggles, a joy that we can discover even in suffering.

Faitheism

Krish Kandiah The Religion vs. Atheism debate has generated more heat than light, with passionate advocates for both sides caught up in antagonistic claims and counter-claim. Krish asks us to take a more understanding look. When we consider the real people on each side, and test our assumptions, we can grow in our own beliefs and understand each other better. In this challenging exploration of the myths about Christianity and Atheism, the truth about each is not what one might expect - and the potential for genuine understanding is far greater than the antagonists on either side would have you believe. What if, by believing the best about each other, the truth really can set each side free and bring a fresh unity together?

God's Biker

PRE-ORDER: Publishes 20th Sept

Sean Stillman (Foreword by Rowan Williams) Zac's Place is a church in Swansea - a small chaotic unit of Jesus followers where life's 'walking wounded' try to work out their faith, because they quite simply wouldn't fit anywhere else. It's also the spiritual home for the local motorcycle club, God's Squad. Zac's Place was founded in 1998 and is led by Sean Stillman, a shy preacher's son whose ministry at Zac's Place, and on the road, has cost him dearly. In Zac's Place, chaos and disorder sit alongside community and grace in an environment that sometimes resembles an AA meeting mixed with an A&E department. This is Sean's story of transformational faith, brokenness, their church, and their unlikely group of biker missionaries. This is a story about what can happen when our concern for perfection and performance is replaced with spirit.

Alan Everett After the Grenfell fire the local parish church became a focal point of the relief effort and a gathering place for a traumatised community, working closely with charities and multi-faith groups to provide a network of support. In this bold, prophetic challenge, Alan shows that the church's response was possible only because it opened its doors and built relationships with people long ago. Its effectiveness was born out of patient, faithful, unheroic ministry that's too easily underestimated. Through testimony and theological reflection, After the Fire shows how parish ministry can be a living symbol of God's love and a vital sign of hope.

Healing the Soul of a Woman

PRE-ORDER: Publishes 20th Sept

Can a woman who has been deeply hurt by life be healed, heart and soul? If she's been wounded by those she loved and trusted, can she love and trust again? As a woman who endured years of abuse, abandonment, and betrayal, Joyce Meyer can answer with a resounding "yes!"... Meyer's positivity comes from her own journey, and from seeing 100s of women who don't believe they can fully overcome life's hurts - or even know where to begin - find the guidance they need in the life-changing wisdom of the Bible. Meyer's bestseller Beauty for Ashes told of her personal story. Now, many years further along the journey, this new book delves deeper into her story and a path of healing all women can relate to and find hope in. Each chapter guides you through obstacles that may be holding you back from your true identity as God's beloved. God can heal all pain, and He wants to do this in you. Let this be the first step toward the wonderful, joyful future God has for you.

Theology & Faith Alister McGrath Mere Discipleship

PRE-ORDER: Publishes 20th Sept

SAVE

£2

In exploring Christian discipleship, Alister McGrath encourages us to move beyond a superficial grasp of our faith to discover its depth and riches. He sees discipleship as a process of growth in wisdom: we absorb a Christian vision of reality, allow it to percolate in our minds and then inform how we see things, think about them and act. Helpfully drawing on the astute and illuminating insights of Dorothy L. Sayers, C. S. Lewis, John Stott and J. I. Packer, discover how we can hold on to hope while journeying through darkness, and live meaningfully in a world where things don't always seem to make sense.

Enjoying God Tim Chester

We believe in God, we serve God, we love God, But do we enjoy God? Does our head knowledge translate into heart affection? Do we feel excited about God in an everyday context? Tim Chester explores the Trinity and how engaging more with all aspects of God means we can enjoy faith more. This isn't a theological definition of the Trinity, it's a "how to" book exploring how we relate to God (for which we need a true understanding of the Trinity). In day-to-day life, how do the three persons of the Trinity relate to us, and how do we respond?

How can this man be discredited and silenced for once and for all? More to the point, can he? Shadow psychiatrists as they examine the most fascinating mind in all of history. Jesus had greater influence than any other person who ever lived. Yet atheistic detractors often portray him as insane or deranged.

Frank Viola Why does the passion that extremists give to their false cause exceed the passion that today's Christians give to Jesus? Insurgence is a radical proposal. Namely, that we've lost the explosive, earthshaking Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, living Gospel and exchanged it for religious duty, permissiveness and 'easy believism'. In today's politically charged era, Viola offers a fresh revolutionary look at the gospel of the Kingdom, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus and his Kingdom. The Gospel is a high-octane message and one Christians everywhere should reclaim, launching a spiritual insurgence.

Even things spoken over us by well-meaning people, can cause us to believe lies about ourselves and make us question what our purpose even is. Yet Psalm 139 says God designed us in His image with a unique DNA and amazing characteristics.

We are loved and were created with meaning. Wrong thinking is often brought on by patterns, insecurities, circumstances, unforgiveness, and an inaccurate view of God our Father. This book shows how to replace them with a view of who God says we are. It's time to rediscover a sense of belonging and set out on the path to becoming the original 'you' that God intended.

When a procedure to restore her sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might be the dream.

So when his Keeper father, Guy Fawkes, invites him to join the Gunpowder Plot to put an end to the plague - Thomas has a decision to make, because the plot will also injure the one he loves. No matter Thomas's choice, one thing is clear: once the decision is made and the colour masks have been put on, there's no turning back.

Children's The Friend Who Forgives

Dan DeWitt & Catalina Echeverri Do you ever talk before you think? Mess up? Let others down? That's what Peter did all the time. Peter loved Jesus, but he felt terrible when he pretended not to know him. He thought all was lost when Jesus died. But Jesus is not like other friends. He forgives us when we're sorry, even when we mess up again. And because Jesus died and rose again, he can. Jesus' death took the punishment for all of Peter's mistakes and all our mistakes. After he rose from the dead, Jesus went and found Peter and forgave him. Peter spent the rest of his life telling people about Jesus and how he can forgive us too. Children know all about failing, but they don't always experience true forgiveness. This book points them to Jesus. Ages 3-6.

The Last Journey

Reflections for the Time of Grieving (Including a CD of 17 Songs) John L. Bell The need to express grief and sorrow is as old as humanity. 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. In The Last Journey, John Bell explores the myriad of emotions that accompany loss, offering us a way to grieve, to search through the struggle before us and perhaps enabling us to find the courage to face the world with a renewed sense of hope.

Letters to the Church

Francis Chan If God had it His way, what would our churches look like? Pastor and bestselling author Francis Chan digs into biblical truths, reflections on his own failures and dreams, and stories of ordinary people God is using to change the world. We've strayed so far from what God planned for the body of Christ, and we know that what we're experiencing is radically different from the Church in Scripture. For decades, church leaders lost sight of the inherent mystery of the Church. When Jesus returns, will He find us caring for His Bride more than for our own lives? This book reminds us of how powerful, how glorious the Church once was... and calls us to once again be the Church God intended us to be.

The Culture of God

The Syrian Jesus - Reading the Divine Mind, Sailing into the Divine Heart 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 finally 'the culture of God'. Ultimately it was Jesus who 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, passionately argued, is an unfolding of what Father Nadim sees as the culture of God and how, when we understand it, it transforms our understanding of our faith.

All perfectly revealed in Jesus, the divine Evangelist - and as we look to him and the Holy Spirit fills us with his evangelistic compassion, our hearts will sing and our lives will erupt with the salvation focus that our cities desperately need.
