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.

Are you sick and tired of conflict? Many feel that their clashes
with others are pointless, painful experiences that intensify
frustrations. But learning how to handle conflict can transform
your experience and revitalize your relationships. Whether it's
your partner or your boss, your sister or your father-in-law, this
book will help you understand yourself better and approach conflict
with a new perspective. Conflict doesn't have to be a stumbling
block in your relationships; it can be the cornerstone of a new way
of relating. Looking at the different factors that influence how we
relate to other people, psychologists Sara Savage and Eolene
Boyd-MacMillan draw on years of research to explain the factors at
play in conflict, and how to overcome them. Complete with
self-assessment quizzes, this book will guide you to greater
self-awareness and equip you with the tools to tackle conflict
effectively.
'...an excellent project and much needed. It will take thinking on
pioneer ministry beyond how to get started and grapple with the
issues of ongoing care of communities, conflict and discipleship.'
Revd Dr Steve Croft, Archbishop's Missioner Until now, Fresh
Expressions has been about starting and sustaining mission
initiatives among people with little or no church contact. As these
projects mature, pastoral problems easily arise - how do you
integrate the old with the new? How do you get an established
congregation to change it views and practices? How do you cope with
conflict? What if newcomers challenge set patterns of church
behaviour rather than conform with them? The publication is
structured for use for training in local churches, theological
colleges and as a research tool in postgraduate study.
For Generation Y, born after 1982, Margaret Thatcher is a piece of
social history, relationships happen over the internet and music
marks their territory. How does this generation think about the
world? What does their spirituality look like? And what
implications does this have for the Church? Based on original
research, Making Sense of Generation Y explores how young people
aged 15-25 draw on popular culture to shape their worldview and
spirituality. The results of this research suggest that many of the
Church's previous assumptions about this generation have been
wrong. How can the Church begin to reconnect with this generation?
Making Sense of Generation Y grapples with this challenging
question and suggests ways forward. This title is essential reading
for clergy, youth workers and all those wishing to engage with
young people.
