instantly recognisable to church-goers and others alike. Over the

eager to renew their Christmas Spirit. This book is a perfect
stocking-filler, containing over 50 poems that guide us through
from Advent to Christmas and Epiphany. Scattered throughout the
text are illustrations by Kevin Sheehan. KEVIN CAREY is the
Chairman of RNIB, the UK's leading blindness charity, and a Reader
in his parish church. He has been a Member of General Synod, and is
a chorister, theologian, novelist, and classical music critic.

Who was ultimately responsible for sentencing Jesus to death on
the cross? Can we ever be good enough for God? Do all "religious"
people go to heaven?
In "Who Put Jesus on the Cross?" A.W. Tozer examines some of the
most difficult questions of the Christian faith. His indictment of
lackluster belief forms the cornerstone of his appeal as he asks
the reader what it really costs to be a Christian.
Tozer inspires conviction that will have you digging deep within
your heart to newly realize the meaning of Christ's death and
resurrection and discover the "Word of God as the foundation of our
peace and rest."
The perfect Lent book for art lovers of all ages
Teaching writing is not for the faint of heart, but it can be a
tremendous gift to teachers and students. Students often approach
writing courses with trepidation because they think of writing as a
mystical and opaque process. Teachers often approach these same
courses with dread because of the enormous workload and the
often-unpolished skills of new writers. This approachable
composition textbook for beginning writers contends that writing
can be a better experience for everyone when taught as an
empathetic and respectful conversation. In a time in which
discourse is not always civil and language is not always tended
carefully, a conversation-based writing approach emphasizes
intention and care. Written by a teacher with more than fifteen
years of experience in the college writing classroom, Composition
as Conversation explores what happens when the art of conversation
meets the art of writing. Heather Hoover shows how seven
virtues--including curiosity, attentiveness, relatability,
open-mindedness, and generosity--inform the writing process and can
help students become more effective writers. She invites writers of
all skill levels to make meaningful contributions with their
writing. This short, accessible, and instructive book offers a
reflective method for college-level writing and will also work well
in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts. It
demystifies the writing process and helps students understand why
their writing matters. It will energize teachers of writing as they
encourage their students to become careful readers and observers,
intentional listeners, and empathetic arguers. The book also
provides helpful sample assignments.
