  Life Shaping Spirituality

  $24.98

  Life events shape our perspective on God and on life itself. We change, we grow, we mature. Behaviour changes, political or social views change, values change; but we are not always aware that our spirituality and its expression in prayer has changed too. This is a book for all who seek a deeper relationship with God and an authentic spirituality. It is a helpful resource for those who have questions about God and prayer. It is also a useful book for those who guide or accompany others.

  Come To Me

  $21.65

  From his own experience of chronic fatigue syndrome, Raymond Tomkinson demonstrates how weariness, whatever its cause, and the rest it demands can be blessed by God. He challenges the apparent assumption that strength and busyness are good, weakness and stillness are bad. His aim is to release people from unnecessary burdens of guilt and lack of self-worth. Each chapter examines a different aspect of our perception of strength and weakness and includes follow-up material for reflection, discussion, and prayer. The intention is to provide encouragement to all those, sufferers or carers, who need to know that God is at work in our weakness, in our passivity, and in our receptivity. Some aspects of our relationship with God can only develop fully if we take advantage of the times when we are “laid aside” from the bustle and routine of twenty-first century living.

  Called To Love

  $35.99

  Life comprises a series of transitions: from childhood to adolescence, adulthood, senescence, death and life beyond death. Christian life is graced by transition into Christlikeness which requires us to make choices, continually, to remain faithful to Christ. At times of transition we seek the will of God as we journey through life making decisions about what to do and where to go next in the service of God and our neighbor.

  This is a beautiful and thoughtful resource with a focus on those in ordained ministry and those aspiring to ordination. Combining pastoral experience, wisdom and empirical research, the author explores how we discern God’s will and how we make decisions about the direction for ministry.
