A book to encourage young people to look carefully at what is going on at the heart of themselves - their core inner being - to examine their hearts before God and to allow him to speak, and to change and heal them. Proverbs 4:23 says we are to pay attention to the state of our hearts above all else. If it is the most important thing, does that mean it is more important than serving God? Yes. Because unless our serving comes from a heart of love for him it becomes empty deeds that mean nothing. Isn't worship important? Yes, but our worship can only flow from hearts that have been captured by God. Isn't it important to read our Bibles and get to know God? Yes, but we go to his word not to educate ourselves about him but to know him with our whole hearts. Isn't it important to tell our friends who don't know Jesus about him? Yes, but if he hasn't first captivated our hearts why would we want to? With the heart being so important, do we understand what's going on in there? This book seeks to illuminate, to draw us near to God and to allow him to minister to our hearts.

What do you do when life falls apart, and it feels as if God has left you? How do you keep going when your faith is rocked to the core? Sometimes things get so hard we're not sure where God is - or what he's up to.  For Patrick there was pain, illness, and loss in his family and community. Then a series of excruciating operations took him to the brink physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  Writing during his journey of recovery, Patrick explores how we find God in times of suffering. He wrestles with how we can know God's peace when life is anything but peaceful, what the true nature of courage is, how we allow ourselves the grace to rest when we're running on empty, and how we can stay fully present in the moment - all so we can ultimately grasp the love of God at a deeper level.

Aim - Providing encouragement and 'good food' for hard-working youth leaders. Acknowledging that their time is short and they no doubt also have many commitments in their life on top of their job (family, friends etc), this aims to give them something that makes them feel loved by God, encouraged in what they're doing as well as challenged to grow to be more like Jesus. Theme - Overall coming under the Youthwork theme of 'Going Deeper'. The topics fall into the broad categories of deepening our relationship with God (worship), deepening our relationship with those around us (including evangelism) and deepening our relationship with the wider world (mission and justice).
