From Growing Up Pains To The Sacred Diary
$19.99Add to cartThe Growing Up Pains Of Adrian Plass
The Sacred Diary Of Adrian PlassAdditional Info
Two favourite works by best-selling author Adrian Plass in one volumeAdrian Plass has a way of telling our stories by telling his, and by so doing has endeared himself to a multitude of readers. Perhaps his secret lies in his humour, from the dark to the absurd. Or it could be his penchant for poking gently but frankly at the foibles of Christian living. Both qualities are on display here, with two of Plass’s best-loved books rolled into one. The Growing Up Pains of Adrian Plass offers reflections on a difficult passage in the author’s personal journey, during which the television programme Company and some of its memorable guests made a deep impact on Plass’s faith. The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass Aged 37 1/2 is a laugh-filled, fictional daily chronicle of family and church exploits, featuring Plass’s literary alter ego and a memorable cast of supporting characters. Referring to The Sacred Diary, Plass writes, ‘I don’t think I shall ever be unhappy enough to write such a funny book again.’ Though different in character, both books in this volume explore the darker side of living the Christian faith–and, in Plass’s inimitable style, point beyond to the bright hope that lies in Jesus. -

Through Nehemiah, the reader will learn how to guard her heart and how to open the doors when trust is required; how to live with a servant’s heart and how to overcome the fear of subjection; and when to work and when to pray. Using scripture and stories from her own experiences as well as those of others, Patsy illustrates how hearts and dreams can be rejuvenated and rebuilt and that the trip through the valley can lead to the mountaintop.

Holy Moments
$12.95Add to cartCan you recall events, people, and circumstances which have profoundly affected you? Many people have “holy moments” — those times when the Lord seems to reveal himself in a way that alters the direction of life. In this book, William Bartlett encourages readers to experience the presence of Christ as he interrupts our often very ordinary and exhausting lives — just like Moses’ life was interrupted by the burning bush! According to Bartlett, these epiphanies leave us changed, redirected, sometimes happier, sometimes pondering, but always holier. By examining some of the many holy moments in the Bible, as well as a few from his own life, Bartlett helps readers to understand the holy moments occurring in their lives. Unique in its message, this book is excellent for personal or group devotions as well as for all types of study groups.

Seeking Something Sacred
$14.95Add to cartBecause we cannot have everything we desire, it is inevitable that we will experience frustration — and what we believe about pain and loss greatly affects our ability to respond constructively to such emotions as anxiety, despair, and rage. Seeking Something Sacred addresses the fragility of human life and our need to be grounded in something beyond ourselves in order to cope with the suffering inherent in our human condition. Drawing on searing personal experiences (disability and the sudden death of his young son), psychologist Joseph Talley demonstrates how the ability to find the sacred offers an antidote to the self-destructive tendencies we all fall into in moments of crisis — and he concludes that the only way to find rest from our tribulations is by trusting in God’s absolute goodness. Seeking Something Sacred isn’t just a fascinating study … it’s uplifting inspirational reading, too!

$13.95Add to cartAt a time when people are yearning for good news, Cynthia Bourgeault’s new book invites us to find our way to the hope that does not disappoint or fail. In our usual way of looking at things, hope is tied to outcome: I hope I get this job or I hope my mother gets well. The Bible introduces us to a different kind of hope that has its source not in events but in the mercy of God, a lifeblood of compassion connecting our heart to God’s heart and the heart of all creation.
In five interwoven meditations, Mystical Hope shows how to recognize this hope in our own lives, where it comes from, how to deepen it through prayer, and how to carry it into the world as a source of strength and renewal.
