The Rations Challenge: Forty Days of Feasting in a Wartime Kitchen

Claud Fullwood Food is always a hot topic - food waste, food banks, food miles, local versus imported. We all need food, so we can't ignore it. But as some families struggle without enough food to live on, others are challenged to consider how much they throw away, or how to make the food they have go further or be more ethical. Which is why Claud Fullwood set herself the challenge of living on WWII rations for Lent. It opened her eyes to issues of hunger and waste, and the many ways in which we have the power to fix our groaning food system, make our families stronger and our communities whole again. Explore the wisdom of WWII and look at how it can help us revolutionise how we live now. By learning the lessons our parents and grandparents lived by in the '30s and '40s, we can build a future that works for everyone.

My Sour-Sweet Days: George Herbert and the Journey of the Soul

Mark Oakley George Herbert is one of the great 17th Century poet-priests. His poems embrace every shade of the spiritual life, from love and closeness, to anger, despair, reconciliation and hope. His work is rich with audacious playfulness: he seems to take God on, knowing God will win, as if he's having an argument with a faithful friend he is confident is not going to leave. In much of theology and spirituality, God is a critical spectator to human lives, but for Herbert, his sense of relationship with God is of a friendship that can't be broken. These are some of the themes Mark Oakley explores in this outstanding book with a poem and commentary for every day in Lent.

The Grace-filled Wilderness

Magdalen Smith Connect contemporary encounters of wilderness with the traditional themes of Lent and Jesus' journey to the cross. Introducing a series of 'double-edged' subjects, Magdalen uncovers how these bring us life as well as potentially drain life from us when we fall into them in the wrong way. How we deal with our appetites; what gives us identity; how to live with the freedom and power we hold; ways to overcome the underlying anxiety which is wrapped around so much of contemporary life and faith - all of these are explored in connection with what it means to be followers of Jesus. And as each week progresses from 'wilderness to grace', we move through Lent and Holy Week into the glorious hope of Easter.

This was a journey of exploration, honouring Martin's view that everyone can reach their potential. So, with painting gear strapped to his bike, renowned artist Timmy set off.

He was blessed by letters of support from bishops, Prime Minister Theresa May, Prince William and President Macron of France. Full of unexpected moments, his pilgrimage along a route travelled by many over the centuries weaves together history, biography and entertainment, and conveys how important it is to truly live every moment.

To continually love beyond in this challenging, dangerous environment, Jesus taught Heidi to pray, worship and trust in a way few do. The spiritual insights and testimonies of God's faithfulness she shares will inspire you to love beyond wherever He has called you.

The Badly Behaved Bible

Nick Page We're told the Bible is a beautiful, uplifting read - we know this is how we're supposed to feel, but many of us don't. On opening the Bible, we're faced with problems; from its form and historical content to its size and distasteful stories. We can be left feeling overwhelmed and disheartened. But we've been misinformed and believe things about the Bible that it never claims. It doesn't fit neat categories and terms we force on it - it's badly behaved. We want to tame it so that we can ride it into battle; but the Bible bucks and throws us off. We want it to prove our theology and give us answers; but it fires questions. We want it to tell us what to do; but it tells us to think. The breath of God lifts its pages, they rise and fall with His breathing. In an honest, accessible style rediscover the Bible, demystify its purpose and scope. Tackle what the Bible is and isn't, and approach its difficulties with helpful analysis and practical advice.

Narrative Apologetics

Alister McGrath The Bible is a narrative - the story of God's creation, humankind's fall, and God's plan of redemption. And it's filled with countless small stories that teach us about people and the nature of God. It's no surprise that God chose to reveal himself to us in story - He hardwired us for story. Despite this, we so often attempt to share our faith with others not through story but through systems, arguments, and talking points - methods that appeal to our mind and neglect our imagination and our emotions. In this groundbreaking book, scholar and author Alister McGrath lays a foundation for narrative apologetics. Exploring 4 major biblical narratives, enduring stories from our culture such as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, and personal narratives from people such as Augustine and Chuck Colson, McGrath shows how we can understand and share our faith in terms of story.

It wasn't the response he expected, but it continues to be the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause.

Christianity for People Who Aren’t Christians

James Emery White In our post-Christian age, the old answers for skeptics no longer cut it. Why? Because they answer the wrong questions. Our world is changing, and while the Gospel never changes, the way we talk about it and learn about it must. This book answers classic questions that skeptics have about the faith, such as: Is there a God? Why do the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus matter? Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why do Christians think there is only one way to know God? It also addresses topics important to 21st Century skeptics, such as reconciling the Bible's picture of Christ's followers with the Christians they've encountered before, the role of science in faith, social justice, and acceptance of the LGBTQ community.

This one-of-a-kind book is perfect for those skeptical of Christianity, and for those who love them and want to keep the line of communication open and faith relevant.

Ruth reveals how a prison inspired her to release unforgiveness lurking in her heart - toward others, herself, God, and her father (Billy Graham). She weaves her personal experiences with biblical examples exploring what holds us back from forgiving, and what we gain when we discover its power. She guides us into our own experiences of forgiveness, past our protective walls and to true transformation.

We Need to Talk About Race

Ben Lindsay From the UK Church's complicity in the slave trade to the whitewashing throughout history, the Church has a lot to answer for when it comes to race relations. Christianity has been dubbed a white man's religion, yet the Bible speaks of a diverse body of believers. It's time for the Church to start talking about race. Ben offers eye-opening insight into the black religious experience, challenging the status quo in white majority churches. With real-life examples and insightful questions, this book offers an exploration of race relations in the UK Church and shows how we can work together to create a truly inclusive church community.

Fearfully & Wonderfully

Dr Paul Brand & Philip Yancey In this new work of 2 classics (Fearfully & Wonderfully Made and In His Image) edited together and updated, renowned surgeon Dr Paul Brand and writer Philip Yancey take us on a tour of wonder through the human body. Illustrated with stories from Brand's career as a hand surgeon who changed the lives of leprosy sufferers through groundbreaking treatment, this lively narrative paints an unforgettable portrait of the unity of the body in its trillions of parts.

Although Brand and Yancey do not presume readers share their faith, they trace the metaphor of 'one body, many parts' from a medical perspective and the Body of Christ. Filled with stories, this book offers insights and page-turning reading.

Be True To Yourself

Matt Fuller Our culture tells us that the way to be happy is to 'be true to yourself'. It's taught in schools, posted on social media, promoted in adverts and expressed in Church. But what does that mean, and does it actually work? Matt explores how true happiness, wholeness and freedom can be found in embracing who God has created us to be; allowing ourselves to be shaped by who the Bible says we are, rather than our own fluctuating feelings or the voices around us.

In the process, this book draws on a broad range of fascinating research and examples to give us a fresh biblical take on some of today's issues.

Looking Beyond Brexit

Graham Tomlin The referendum has taken over the country, but it also resonates with the past. In a 16th Century version of Article 50, Britain broke from Europe, declaring the King rather than the Pope 'Supreme Head of the English Church'. The split didn't end the story. In the turmoil that followed, fake news spread, families divided and blood was shed. However, an attempt was made to find a peaceable solution. In this brief but powerful book, Tomlin reminds us of the age-old political and spiritual task of harmonising past and future, identity and openness. Polarisation can affect everyone; the challenge of rising above division and loving our neighbours and enemies has never been greater.

Jeff Lucas The HUGE bestseller (previously published by Zondervan), updated and edited for the UK! Jeff interweaves the story of his life, becoming a Christian, and ministry, with the Bible's account of Jesus meeting the disciples on the beach at Galilee after His resurrection. In his unique insightful way, Jeff reflects on elements of that encounter that we may not have considered before, such as why Jesus didn't help the fishermen earlier, the significance of catching 153 fish, and how having breakfast together was beneficial for the body and soul.

Themes include: believing when we can't see clearly; shame vs. forgiveness; comforting others without platitudes; and recognising that the Christian life isn't always an exciting adventure.
