Welcome to your May/June magazine!

Dear Friends, I am writing this letter after our wonderfully sunny Easter weekend, during which we have been reminded of the reality of Jesus' sacrifice and the glory of the resurrection, through meaningful celebration, as well as the tragedy of the terror attacks at Churches in Sri Lanka.

As we head into a new season, I would like to point you to Stations of the Resurrection, on the back cover, which I believe will help us reflect on the biblical episodes from the empty tomb to Pentecost.

The focus of this month’s bumper issue is on Church Resources featured on pages 13-15 (plus a showcase of our bestselling Church Bibles on pages 16-19). Some resources are aimed at personal prayer and study, others at the church body. Please pass on this information to those with responsibility for youth, and group activity, as well as refurbishing the church with new Bibles and hymn books!

Finally, there's a SALE - these clearance titles are supplied on a 'firstcome first-served' basis while stocks last, so get your orders in fast!

Praying with Mandela PRE-ORDER: Publishes 20th June Thabo Makgoba We thank you for the inspiration and strength that you have given to Madiba, enabling him, over so many years, to draw out the best in others, rousing us always, by word and example, to seek the highest good for every child of this nation. So prayed Archbishop Thabo Makgoba with Nelson Mandela in 2009. This moment marked the beginning of a moving relationship between southern Africa's Anglican leader and Mandela until his death in 2013. Join Makgoba on his journey to faith, from his boyhood in Johannesburg as the son of a pastor, to Bishopscourt and his time with Mandela. He reveals his pastoral approach to this iconic figure, and the influence Mandela had on his ministry to church and nation. This is a window in to the spiritual life of South Africa and one of it's most influential and spiritual figures.

Top Picks Arthur's Garden

Pam Rhodes "As I stand at my kitchen sink and look across at what we optimistically call our herb garden, to one side I see an old wooden sign on which are carved the words 'Arthur's Garden'. Arthur doesn't live here. My wonderful great-uncle died nearly 30yrs ago having spent most of his long life in the Victorian terraced house in which his mother had brought up 11 children. The sign had stood in the garden there for decades, a gift to the man who'd always cherished that small patch of Kent, creating a riot of glorious colour". Pam Rhodes collates a heart-warming collection of songs, poems, advice and tit-bits about an ordinary English garden - told through the life of Arthur. This is a gardening book, with a story.

Christy Wimber

Wholeness The world is changing. Safety and security are becoming more important. When struggles become visible, safety becomes invaluable. Jesus created spaces of safety. He never blamed people for how they got sick, or healed the struggles most easily dealt with. Under His care there's no 'us' and 'them'. Jesus came for the sick, broken, oppressed and depressed. He came for each person, as well as each part of who we are; body, soul and spirit. And if it matters to God, it must matter to us. The world is changing, so are people's struggles. What worked in prayer and ministry in years past may not work today as people's concerns and experiences of difficulties have changed. We should be growing in how we learn and deliver ministry. One of the greatest acts of kindness we can do is provide a safe place for people's struggles so that we may love, care for and minister to them more effectively.

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?

Pray Big

Alistair Begg Many of us struggle with prayer, whether it's for a season or for a lifetime. Lots of books have been written on the subject as a result. And when we do pray, we often don't know what to say. What does God want to hear about? What are the best things I could pray for my family, my church, and myself? How do we pray bigger, and better? To find the answers we need to discover how to pray as the apostle Paul did. Paul enjoyed prayer, and was excited about it.

He expected his Father in heaven to hear what he said, and to act in other people's lives. He prayed and then was "watchful in it with thanksgiving", ready to see how God would work.

This book focuses on Paul's prayer for his friends in the church in Ephesus. The truths that underpin and shape his prayers for them can motivate us to pray. Be inspired to pray bigger.

Michael Mayne: Author Feature Michael Mayne was one of Anglicanism’s most compelling voices, a gifted preacher and writer whose works have remained popular for their deep insight and timeless relevance..

The Enduring Melody An heroic book begun in health as a meditation on life experience, it ends in sickness with Michael facing death. Humbling and inspiring, it is a testimony to the power of faith and hope not to dwindle in pain and loss, but to grow. It's a brave, moving account of a man's effort to celebrate life at a testing and inexplicable time. Michael uses the knowledge of his approaching end to trace the 'enduring melody' that has sung through him and his life. The melody is not arrogant or without uncertainty, but it responds to the original music of God. Each of our lives is unique and unrepeatable. Be inspired to listen for the enduring melody in your life and try to harmonise.

This is a collection of letters written over 20 years ago for his grandchildren, beautifully and memorably expressing Mayne's vision of life. For him, to be human is to be attentive to the mystery of people and things. Learn how to see, he tells us, for to see is the beginning of wonder. 'Amazement is the thing.

Midwife of Borneo

Wendy Grey Rogerson & Barbara Fox In 1959 Newcastle nurse Wendy Grey leaves her comfortable life and answers a call to run a clinic in a place so remote that many have never seen a white woman before. Until her arrival, medical witchcraft has been the norm. Wendy quickly gained the trust of the locals, and they began to flock to her for treatment. And when some required emergency surgery, she became an anaesthetist and surgeon too. From treacherous journeys to tea parties with governors; from tussles with snakes to Scrabble with nuns; from illness to love - this unique glimpse into missionary life comes from Wendy's diaries, written by the light of an oil lamp in her bamboo and palm-leaf home, while back in the UK churches are praying for Borneo.

Grenfell Hope

Gaby Doherty Gaby, her husband Sean and their 4 children live in a flat near Grenfell Tower. Sean was the first clergy person on the scene.

Explore life in North Kensington before and after the fire, and the poverty issues and attitudes to the poor that played such a part in the community's life. In the desperate situation, God was at work bringing hope in tiny gestures that mounted up to something huge. Hope that couldn't be ignored or contained. Hope sprang out all over the country.

Jane Haining: A Life of Love and Courage

Mary Miller Jane, a farmer's daughter from Galloway, went to work at a boarding school in Budapest in 1932 as a matron to 50 orphans. The school had 400 pupils, mostly Jewish. Jane was in the UK on holiday when war broke out in 1939, but immediately went back to protect the children, refusing to leave when Hungary was invaded by Nazis, writing 'if these children need me in days of sunshine, how much more do they need me in days of darkness'. Her brave actions led to her arrest for 'offences' including spying and working with Jews. She died in Auschwitz months later. Her courage to protect others made her an inspiration. This is her story.

A History of the Bible

John Barton For many the Bible is a singular authority on what to believe and how to live. For non-believers it's commanding: a work of literature woven into the language and thought of Western Culture to an unparalleled degree. This is the story of how the Bible came to be, and be understood, from it's remote beginnings to present day. Discover how its narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems and letters were written and when, and how these extraordinarily disparate writings relate to each other. This book sheds new light on even the most familiar passages, exposing the sources and traditions behind them, and the hand of the scribes and editors who reshaped them. The Bible is not the fixed text it's often perceived to be but the result of a long, intriguing evolution. Tracing its dissemination, translation and interpretation in Judaism and Christianity, Barton shows how meaning has been drawn from it and imposed upon it. If we regard the Bible as 'authoritative', it cannot be in the same way others have done in the past.

The Lost Message of Paul

Steve Chalke We have misunderstood Paul, reading his words through our own assumptions and values.

But our goal is to see things the way he saw them rather than the way we do. What if 'original sin' wasn't part of his thinking? What if the idea that we are saved by faith, as Luther so strongly argued, was a mistranslation of Paul's words? 'Over the centuries' Steve writes, 'the Church has time and again failed to communicate, or even to understand, the core of Paul's message...

Paul has often been presented as the champion of exclusion, he was the very opposite... a revolutionary who saw a new inclusive world dawning and gave his life to help bring it in'.

None Greater

Matthew Barrett Christians have domesticated God, we bring Him down to our level, tamed. But He's the Creator not the creature, none greater can be conceived. He is perfect, infinite and incomprehensible.

Perfections like aseity, simplicity, immutability, impassibility and eternity stop God from being crippled by our limitations. At the same time, this all-powerful, all-knowing and all-wise God accommodates Himself, exhibiting holiness, mercy, and love as He makes known who He is and how He will save us. The attributes of God show us why He's worthy of worship: there is none like Him. Rediscover these divine perfections and the God we thought we knew.

Richard Rohr Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Often our understanding is limited by culture, religious squabbling and our tendency to put ourselves at the centre. Drawing on Scripture, history and spirituality, Rohr shares a transformative view of Jesus as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work. God loves things by becoming them and Jesus’ life declares that we have never been separate from God, except by our own choice.

When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognise the Creator around us and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical and full of hope and vision, this incredible book is an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Trauma and Grace

Serene Jones As mental health and historical abuse are becoming more open topics, this is a timely exploration of the Bible and trauma. How does individual and collective violence affect our capacity to remember, act and love? How does it challenge our theological understanding of Grace? How can the traumatic experience of Jesus' death be remembered? Jones opens up the long-term effects of trauma on abuse survivors, war veterans and marginalised people, and the way grace and redemption are exhibited in each context. At the heart of each essay are two claims central to Christianity: We live in a world profoundly broken by violence, and God loves this world and desires that suffering be met by hope, love and grace.

Christians are taught that God is everywhere - a tenet that is central to Barbara's life and faith. In Holy Envy, she contemplates the myriad ways she encountered God when exploring other faiths while teaching world religions to undergraduates in Baptist-saturated rural Georgia and on field trips to diverse places of worship. Both she and her students ponder how the knowledge and insights they have gained raise important questions about belief and how different practices relate to their own faith. An exploration that ultimately deepened her relationship with the world and with God. Hb | 192 pgs | CANTERBURY PRESS

Dallas Willard "God spoke to me" "the Spirit revealed the idea". Being close to God means communicating with Him, telling Him what's on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what He's saying to us. It's this second half of our conversation with God that's so important, but it can also be difficult. How do we hear His voice? Isn't it our subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says isn't clear? The key is not to focus on decisions, but on building our relationship with our Creator. In this expanded edition of Willard's classic, originally titled In Search of Guidance, you'll gain insight into how we can hear God's voice clearly and develop a partnership with Him in the work of His kingdom.

Paul Bayes (Bishop of Liverpool) A radical vision of the Church as a table, built by Jesus the carpenter and stretching down every street and to every home. At this table, everyone sits, eats, worships, agrees and disagrees as equals. The Church used to be cushioned by privilege, sat in the middle of society and at the top. Today, it's often on the edge and underneath, marginalised and not taken seriously. But this is good, because the edge and underneath is where people are. Equality and justice are at the heart of The Table - justice that does not come without struggle, patience and quiet perseverance. Paul argues that a Church that knows justice and Jesus is a Church that can accommodate our diverse communities and embody the hopes of future generations.

ReGrace The church is tired of seeing members act ungraciously toward one another. Social media has added to the carnage, with Christians routinely blocking each other online because of doctrinal disagreements. But what if every Christian discovered that their favourite teacher in church history had blind spots and held some false, and even shocking views? Frank Viola argues that this simple awareness will soften Christians when they interact with each other in the face of theological disagreements. In ReGrace, he uncovers some of the shocking beliefs held by C.S. Lewis, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Wesley, Graham, and Augustine - not to downgrade or dismiss them, but to show that even 'the greats' in church history didn't get everything right. Knowing that the heroes of faith sometimes got it wrong will empower us to treat one another with grace rather than disdain whenever we disagree over theology.

If they find the Bible helpful, what is stopping them going to church? Is there an actual prize or is it just a clever way of getting people to read it?

He is not only praying for you; he is announcing to you all that is yours by faith in Christ. What a way to end the Lord's Day and to begin the week." - Sinclair B.

Angels

Peter Stanford '1 in 10 Britons claimed to have experienced the presence of an angel. While 1 in 3 remain convinced that they have a guardian angel... on some counts, angels are doing better than God.'

What exactly are angels, and why have so many in different times and contexts around the globe believed in them? What is their history and role in faith? Are angels something real, a manifestation of divine concern? Or part of the poetry of religion? And can they illuminate a deeper truth about human existence and the cosmos? These are not new questions.

They have been asked over millennia. Writer, journalist and broadcaster Peter Stanford investigates the history, theology and cultural significance of religious ideas.

Am I Just My Brain?

Sharon Dirckx Modern research is uncovering more detail than ever before of what our brain is and how it works. We are living, thinking creatures who carry around with us an amazing organic supercomputer in our heads. But what is the relationship between our brains and our minds - and ultimately our sense of identity as a person? Are we more than machines? Is free-will an illusion? Do we have a soul? Brain scientist Sharon Dirckx lays out the current understanding of who we are from biologists, philosophers, theologians and psychologists, and points towards a bigger picture, that suggests answers to the fundamental questions of our existence. Not just 'What am I?', but 'Who am I?' and 'Why am I?'.
