Shun self-help in favour of spiritual-help and become the other-focussed disciple that Jesus is inviting you to be in this accessible and practical book.In recent years, the Church in the West has witnessed a growing hunger to engage in spiritual disciplines that help us become more like Jesus. And yet, if our practices cause us to look inwards without looking outwards, then we can unwittingly distance ourselves from him instead.Jesus was inherently other-focussed, and in this immensely practical book, Kate Pocklington invites us to explore why being formed by the Spirit is only half of the picture.We are formed by the Spirit, formed through our experiences with others and formed for the sake of God's mission in the world. Together we will see how God - the grand recycler - wants to use every part of our past and personality to shape us into other-focussed people.

The Archbishop of York's Advent Book for 2023

Servants of Christ are in the transformation business.This kind of transformation will only happen if we refuse to be seduced by false idols like success, money, fame and security to become the church we were called to be. We need to take ownership of the problems around us and work with people who are suffering in order to find solutions and offer lasting change.In No Ceiling to Hope, Patrick travels the globe to find examples of this change: In Bolivia, he reports how Christian backing for education projects is allowing families to find a way out of poverty. In London, XLP is mentoring young people to turn aside from violence. In Los Angeles, a new future is being offered to gang girls. In high security prisons in the UK and US, the Spirit is turning lives around. In Belfast's Shankill Road area, a group of elderly ladies is cooking meals for men who sit all day in local pubs . . . The list is extensive, and inspiring. The common element is that, in all circumstances, Christ is offering hope.Be inspired afresh that, when it comes to what Jesus can do, there really is no ceiling to hope.

Why is the Russian Church supporting Putin in his war against Ukraine?Why does the Patriarch of Moscow believe that history is on Russia's side?And what are the implications for Christianity and Christian culture in the West?These are among the vital questions addressed in this timely book. Written by an internationally respected historian who is also an Orthodox believer, Holy Russia? Holy War? examines the way history and religion are being used to justify Putin's 'special military operation' in Ukraine.Katherine Kelaidis shows how Russia's understanding of its past continues to shape and direct the way it sees its future. This, she argues, is not only a problem for Ukraine. It is also a problem for all who value freedom, democracy, tolerance and the defence of human rights.Reading this book will lead you to a clearer understanding of why the defence of Ukraine is also the defence of Western freedom and values. It will also help you to see how differing views of the past can radically affect what happens in the present, how religion can so easily become corrupted at the service of militant nationalism, and how we must guard against it, wherever it appears.ContentsPART ONE: Shadows of the pastPART TWO: Who is Patriarch Kirill and why is he dangerous?PART THREE: This is not just a problem for UkrainePART FOUR: The war will end but the causes and consequences will remain, so what can be done?CONCLUSION: Two modern Russian saints
