This book provides insights for the spiritual journey through a
profound psychological engagement with the story of Joseph in the
book of Genesis. Like Joseph, every human being faces problems in
life - whether threats to identity, relationship breakdown,
depression, bereavement, stress, personal failure or other forms of
suffering. How we negotiate these crises, and what resources we
find to cope with them, can shape the way we grow as Christians. In
line with the story of Joseph, the chapters in this book are
ultimately about personal transformation - how we can make
something out of the life that has been given us. Over time, we may
find that we have been co-creators within a larger story.
Have you ever felt far away from God? Though many Christians are
convinced they can't admit that, if you're feeling distant from
God, you're not alone. In fact, honesty about divine distance is an
important first step back to the presence of God. The truth is, we
all go through seasons when prayers seem futile, worship feels
empty, or we feel lonely, wondering if God cares or even knows what
we're facing. When those seasons come and our familiar spiritual
routines are no longer working, how can we recover the closeness
with God that we crave? With transparency and a pastoral heart,
Jamie Rasmussen reveals eight ways to navigate divine distance and
experience the nearness of God again. After unpacking why God
sometimes feels so far away, he mines the riches of the book of
Esther for principles that are available to us today. The result is
an intimate and practical guide to navigating seasons of divine
distance so we can once again feel closer to God.
With his usual consummate clarity of thought and style, Michael
Ramsey sets out to establish what the Spirit meant in the
experience and the language of the early Christians. 'There are
none from whom we can learn more about a theme so intimately linked
with the coming of Jesus Christ.'
Connects true-to-life experiences of grief and loss with central
themes in the 23rd Psalm--highlighting each inspirational message
with an appropriate prayer, affirmation, and reflection.
"Booklet"
Drawing on encounters between Jesus and women in the gospels, this
book explores the spirituality of women, especially 'Jesus
spirituality'.
When you feel powerless . . . help is here Bills pile up. Savings
go down. Marriages go south. Work goes off the rails. Stress goes
off the charts. It's all too much to take on by yourself.
Fortunately, you don't have to take it all on yourself. In fact,
God never intended for you to do so. He has provided heaven-sent
help to walk with you, guide you, and shoulder the load. Someone
who never gets tired. Someone who is strong and powerful. Someone
who is unhindered by what hinders us. Someone who is always nearby.
Interested? If so, join Max Lucado in this five-session study to
learn more about this "helper" whom we know as the Holy Spirit. You
will receive the tools and encouragement you need to become joyful,
enthusiastic, and empowered as you draw closer to God; learn who
the Spirit is and how he can help you; find true rest and peace as
you let him carry your burdens; and discover your unique gifts to
further God's kingdom. Help Is Here reminds us that our Good
Shepherd doesn't just feed us; he leads us. He does more than
correct us; he directs us. God keeps us on track-and best of all,
he's commissioned the Holy Spirit to guide us down the winding
roads of life, wherever they may lead us. Sessions and video run

Be still. For some, these two simple words a welcome invitation to
slow down. For others, they feel impossible, out of reach in our
increasingly noisy world, or simply just too hard to maintain.
There is another way. In fact, there are many. In this practical,
easy-to-read guide, Brian Heasley explores the multitude of rhythms
of Christian prayer and devotion available to every believer. From
memorising scripture and prayer running to noticing beauty
everywhere, he demonstrates how we don't need to be static for our
hearts to be still, and how even in the midst of a full, busy life,
we can spend quiet time with God. Be Still is a prayer book for
anyone looking for ways to revitalise the way they pray or who is
struggling to make space for devotional time with God. Packed full
of ideas for different ways to pray and tips and advice for how to
build prayer practices into everyday life, Brian's book will change
the way you think about prayer and devotion and equip you with all
the tools you need to deepen your relationship with God. You can
use the book individually or in small groups, or read it alongside
24-7 Prayer's new Be Still prayer course. It also makes a great
resource for youth leaders looking to help teenagers cultivate
daily rhythms of prayer and spend more quiet time with God, or as a
gift for people starting out on their faith journey or those
returning to faith after a while. Join Brian Heasley, and discover
the different ways in which we can all Be Still.
What makes life meaningful? More to the point, what makes our life
meaningful? Without a good answer to that question, we can expend
much energy and experience much anxiety as we attempt to live lives
of significance, only to find that in the end we missed the point
entirely and along the way were deeply dissatisfied. But there is
hope. In Why You Matter, Michael Sherrard shows that life is only
meaningful if God exists. He then shows how that fundamental fact
provides clarity for some of the most important questions of our
lives, including - Who am I? - How should I treat others? - What
should I do with my life? - How do I make sense of suffering? If
you have struggled with a sense of self-worth and direction in your
life, or if you have a friend, colleague, or family member who is
searching for meaning in a world of suffering, chaos, and
uncertainty, Why You Matter will give you confidence that your life
matters--but maybe not for the reasons you think.
'. . . His eyes can hardly see for pain, and yet, and yet, if you
stand yourself beneath his cross, (oh, do not kneel, or bend your
head, but raise your eyes and see!) if you stand on very tip-toe,
then you will find, to your great sorrow, but his small comfort,
that you can reach to soothe the very face of God.' So ends the
haunting title piece of this richly imaginative collection of
stories. In it we encounter the infant Christ, both vulnerable and
divine; the laughing, loving Christ, who delights in us and cares
for us; the sorrowful Christ, who suffers on our behalf and draws
comfort from our love. Weaving through the book is the theme of
Eden - once lost but now restored to us by Christ's saving work on
the cross. And our eyes are opened to the possibility of
rediscovering Eden for ourselves, as we explore who we truly are in
God.
