SPRING INTO SUMMER We’re launching an exciting new series for “tweens” (9-13 year olds) called Big Questions, which addresses key issues such as the question of why God lets bad things happen (p 4). And we’ve got several resources for much younger children—Bible stories (p 8) a new board book (p 7), plus colouring and activity books to keep them amused over the summer break.
In Brave by Faith, popular author and speaker Alistair Begg looks at the first seven chapters of the book of Daniel to help Christians live out their faith with courage and confidence in today’s world (see p 3). Hope in an Anxious World is a timely new book that seeks to help both Christian and non-Christian readers understand anxiety better, learn some techniques to cope with it and, most importantly, show how the living God can liberate us from its grip (p 6).
We remain thankful for your partnership and wish you every blessing in Christ.
HOW TO ORDER
As we start to emerge from the effects of the pandemic, the hope of the gospel is needed now as much as ever. We have some wonderful new titles to share with you which we trust will help point people to that hope and encourage them in their faith.
