Helps us appreciate how challenging the Gospels are and how exhilarating the vision of Jesus they offer

A much-needed book which gives people - Christians in particular - permission to love themselves as they should.

God in our Midst follows the pattern of the Christian year, with sections on 'Advent, Christmas and Epiphany', 'Jesus' Ministry' and 'Holy Week and Easter'. But the book also contains two sections devoted to pieces that either draw their immediate inspiration from the Old Testament, or have been written for special occasions.

This book is for everyone who has ever wondered what makes the Bible one of the world's greatest and most enduring works of literary genius. Trevor Dennis entertains as well as enlightens, and enables the reader to experience the richness of texture and depth of meaning that lie beneath the surface of our English translations.

Takes a fresh look at some of the best-known narratives in the Bible, inviting us to see how the stories look from the point of view of women characters such as Eve, Sarah, Hagar, Hannah and Bathsheba.

A collection of stories that helps readers encounter the infant Christ, both vulnerable and divine; the laughing, loving Christ, who delights in them and cares for them; the sorrowful Christ, who suffers on their behalf and draws comfort from their love.

The resurrection accounts are stories of encounter with God - the recovery of that ancient intimacy briefly enjoyed in the Garden of Eden. This volume suggests that in entering into the resurrection stories from the Gospels, we step outside time and place into a world where death no longer holds sway.

The Bible offers two Christmas stories not just in detail, but in tone. This book, which incorporates some of the authors own stories and poems on the Christmas theme, begins by examining the two biblical accounts in turn: Matthew's, which is a dark tale, or at least as tale of light shining in darkness, Luke's, which is full of light and joy.

A collection of meditative short stories, inspired by the Bible and the cycle of the Christian year. There are stories on themes such as Creation and the Fall, the search for God in the wilderness, Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and Ascension.

Inspired by Old and New Testament passages, this beautifully written volume of verse and prose aims to open our eyes to God's great simplicity. For this infinitely loving deity, who has always known our goodness, what we might be and the good we might become, can only by nature tread softly in our lives, longing to embrace us and awaken us to beauty beyond our dreaming.
