Firmly I Believe
$40.00
The Oxford Movement sprang into life in the 1830s in reaction to the fear of increasing Parliamentary control of the Church and in response to new freedoms for Roman Catholics in society. It was an opportunity for Anglicans who regarded themselves as loyal to the Catholic tradition, despite the interruption of the Reformation, to promote Catholic theology in the Church of England.
A high doctrine of the Church and the sacraments, insistence that Anglican clergy were priests in the Apostolic Sucession and the revival of religious life – plus remarkable social work in slum areas – all characterise what we now call Anglo-Catholicism, still alive and well and accounting for a third of the C of E today.
Here the writings of the Tractarians, and also less well-known supporters of the Oxford Movement, are introduced with a useful commentary and explanation.

Ruthless Trust : The Ragamuffins Path To God
$14.99Add to cartWe are made for the love of God, and nothing less will ever satisfy us. In his acclaimed bestseller, The Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning showed us the powerful truth that the divine gifts of love is ever present for us regardless of the state of our lives. Now in this challenging sequel, he turns to our primary obstacle to living fully within this divine love — the lack of “ruthless trust.”
Through rich stories and deep insights, Manning shows us how true and radical trust can transform everything in our lives. No matter where we are on our path of discipleship, he offers encouragement to shed the limitations of fear, shame, and doubt through complete reliance upon God. The way of Ruthless Trust is not an abstract theory; it is that very practical and demanding path that each of us must follow in response to God’s love.

Problem Of Pain
$17.99Add to cartFor centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all — If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? C. S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.
