Book Description
Praying on the behalf of others is a task vital enough that John Pritchard has spent years creating guides to help people do just that - interceding in prayer. His Intercessions Handbooks have been a wellspring of ideas for thousands of believers. They have given confidence in people to pray in public, as well as the words and ideas that inspire others to follow in those intercessionary footsteps. And now we have The Intercessions Resource Book. Filled with brand-new ideas for public prayer, this guide is simple to use and immediately practical. The ideas and materials in this resource book can be turned to for any occasion. In the first section of The Intercessions Resource Book you'll find covered all the months of the year, key Christian festivals and occasions, as well as being arranged thematically for when you want to pray over a certain topic or idea. Then, for the second and third sections, you'll find help with praying in different settings. Whether that is in informal settings such as small groups and worship services, or when praying personally, quietly, and intimately. There is also a section included for extroverts. The ideas in The Intercessions Resource Book help you to pray imaginatively, effectively, and boldly in Church and in Small Groups. To help you help others through prayer. 'A wake-up call to all those who... need to find encouragement, freshness, balance and perseverance in this work of grace.' Methodist Recorder

Book Description
‘In a world where justice is too often about power, Isabelle Hamley shows that God’s justice brings transformation, healing and hope for all.’ JUSTIN WELBY What is justice? It’s a question we encounter everywhere in life and that over the last years has increasingly demanded an answer. In Embracing Justice, Isabelle Hamley invites us on an exhilarating journey through Scripture to discover how we, as churches, communities and individual Christians, can seek and practice justice even when enmeshed in such a fractured world. Full of practical encouragement, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book for 2022 brilliantly weaves together biblical texts, diverse voices, contemporary stories, and personal and group meditations to reveal liberating and imaginative ways in which me may grow in discipleship – and more fully reflect the justice, mercy and compassion of Christ in our lives. With six chapters to take you from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, this Lent devotional for 2022 is essential reading for anyone interested in the issues of justice – from climate and economic justice to gender and racial equality – that are increasingly at the forefront of global consciousness, and the role that Christians and the Church must play in them. Suitable for use both as a single study for individuals and for small groups to prepare for Easter, Embracing Justice will encourage, inform and motivate anyone looking for Christian books about justice. It will help you understand justice from a biblical perspective, and inspire you to seek it in every aspect of your life. Although the world is broken, unequal and violent, the call to reflect God’s own justice and mercy continues to sound like a steady drumbeat, impossible to ignore. Company with Isabelle Hamley this Lent, and discover that we can all join God’s mission of transformation and embrace his justice.

Book Description
An accessible, adult, catholic prayer book which can become the well-used friend of the reader -- it can be kept and prayed with. This is not another book for the shelf but to accompany us in our journey. We can add our own comments in the margins, highlight a prayer we will use regularly, add extra ribbons and use the blank pages at the back of the book to supplement this volume with other prayers that we come across which we will find useful. We can make this our working journal of prayer as we lift up our hearts, day by day, to God. When we pray we learn to pray; as we pray we enter into that rich experience of prayer which George Herbert describes in his poem at the front of this book.
