Seasonal Catalogue – March 2013 Ascension: Humanity in the Presence of God

Tim Chester & Jonny Woodrow – The Porterbrook Network and The Crowded House, Sheffield Who is this ascended Jesus? He is King, Priest and man and is still at work. Ultimately he is humanity in the presence of God. Here we discover how we are a part of the Ascension.

“Glorious and unexpected truths are here constantly laid bare for our wonder and our joy.”

Jonathan Stephen, Principal, Wales Evangelical School of Theology, Bridgend, Wales “If you have ever wondered why the ascension is critical to being a disciple of Jesus or why it wasn’t just a bad strategy by God that removed the main evidence for Christianity, you will find plenty of help here.” Marcus Honeysett, Director of Living Leadership and author of Finding Joy, Kent, England ISBN 978-1-78191-144-0 | Trade | 96 Pages | PB | £5.99

Get over It

Letting Go and Moving on with God Mary Whelchel – The Founder of The Christian Working Woman, Chichago As we go about our daily lives, we are so often mired down in all kinds of joy-robbing thought patterns and unhealthy habits. But grounded in God’s Word, we can move on, set free from these burdens. Mary Whelchel has developed insightful wisdom for leading women to experience the true freedom of following Christ.

“I wish that book was available when I became a Christian as it would have really challenged me to move forward and grow in Jesus.”

May Nicholson, Author and founder of Preshal Trust.

“Easily accessible and written with warmth, its practical biblical wisdom will both challenge and comfort those who are struggling with emotional baggage and difficulties, yet long to mature as Christians.”

Ann Allen, International speaker, Kilsyth, Scotland ISBN 978-1-78181-145-7 | Trade | 160 Pages | PB | £6.99

Taking the Bible at its Word

Paul Wells – Adjunct dean of the Faculté Jean Calvin in Aix-en- Provence France God’s Word is the same yesterday, today and forever! God’s Complete Word still speaks to us today. It tells the story of God coming to us for our salvation. We are given the possibility to know God and what he did for us. We can find no way to climb up to God. Our only hope lies in movement from the other direction-God coming down to us. The Bible shows a God who reveals himself to his people in the Old Testament and by the coming of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Let’s listen to the Bible and take it at its word!

1 & 2 Peter & Jude Christian living in an age of suffering Paul Gardner 1 Peter addresses Christians who have known suffering and persecution to a degree that we will never know. In 2 Peter, Peter was very concerned that those who deny Christ’s return should be withstood and that the church could be confident that Christ had not abandoned them. The theme of Jude is similar and also points Christians towards the evidence of believers who heard Jesus speak, to enable them ‘to fight on for the faith which once and for all God has given to his people’.
