TITLES

Ministry Outreach Program for Seniors

Older adults are the fastest-growing age demographic across the Western world, and yet there are few materials to support churches who want to help this older generation hear about God’s love. Hymns We Love aims to fill that gap. It uses well-loved hymns to share the good news of Jesus and key truths about God’s character in an accessible way. The series comprises five video sessions. Each one tells the story of the hymn writer, how the hymn came to be, and the Christian message behind it. The video sessions also feature beautiful renditions of the hymns, filmed in a historic English village church, along with testimonies and prayers. There are also three introductory sessions: for Christmas and for Easter, and a third which can be used at any time of the year.

Steve Cramer first encountered Jesus as a teenager and ever since has loved introducing him to others. When not doing this, he is a director of two growing businesses.

Pippa Cramer is Pastoral Care and Seniors Minister at Holy Trinity Claygate, Surrey, UK, and founder of Connections: church-based gatherings for seniors in the UK.

Encouragement from the Bible’s Greatest Comeback Stories

We all experience setbacks and disappointments in life. Sometimes those setbacks become entire seasons of life. This book uses nine amazing "comeback stories" from the Bible to show how God provides everything needed to get through challenging setbacks. Rather than showing people overcoming hardship through simple grit, the stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah, and Peter tell of extraordinary changes of heart and how God works in all things for the good of those who love him. Readers will be given a new perspective on their struggles and will be encouraged to trust God in them.

How Your Words Can Glorify God and Encourage Others

Words are powerful. They sink deep into our minds and our spirits. They can build others up or put others down. Many of us want to “say the right thing” and make a difference to others with our words, but we don't know how to. This positive, constructive book delves into the Bible to show us how to overcome specific temptations, such as gossip or angry words. But it also goes much further. It shows us how we can use our speech to bring beauty, hope, truth, and comfort into the lives of those around us—and to give glory to God.

Why Your Worth Is Not Defined by How Useful You Feel

We all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that we're not, or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we can't be as active as we'd like to be. Weaving together insightful Scriptural analysis and beautifully told stories, this book explores what the Bible really says about weakness, identity, and God's purposes for us: helping us to see ourselves and our relationship with God in an entirely different and much more glorious way. Readers will discover that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him. It will provide encouragement to Christians who feel that they are not good enough or useful enough to God.
