Recommended by Children and Families Ministry leader and trainer Chris Barnett, Rebecca Nye explores what children’s spirituality is and why IT MATTERS!
‘A powerful reaffirmation and exploration of the importance of childhood spirituality for the ministry and mission of the church, which will be welcomed by all working in this field’.
Alister McGrath

One of the most significant responsibilities of any childrens’ ministry leader, parent, godparent, grandparent or minister is to help children learn what it means to speak adn listen to God through prayer. In this book Lyn Chambers (Play and Pray Through Advent) offers 14 creative suggestions designed to encourage adults, children and leaders to find a special place for prayer.

An informative and practical book from Eddie Gibbs (Church Next, Leadership Next) and Ryan K Bolger. ‘Locally Specific and globally aware’, representing many voices and views, the book is strongly endorsed by Brian McLaren. For all who have realised some elements of traditional church hold no appeal for many in our culture (and may in fact be an anathema) – and if we wish to be instrumental in their path to God we need to find alternative ways of being church for them.
‘Quite simply the best book yet on emerging church’ (Andrew Jones, Tall Skinny Kiwi)

The Gospel of Jesus for all sorts of readers.
The Gospel according to Luke – a plain and simple translation – that offers the seeker or Christian a chance to read about Jesus as he was in that moment – the essential Jesus.
Modern format, contemporary cover, low price for mission purposes.

With his contagious passion for those who do not know the love and wisdom of Christ, Alvin Reid calls on research and experience to organize effective and modern evangelism into four clear and actionable categories: the way we relect God in our lives must be:
Biblical, Spiritual, Intentional and Missional.
Reid faces the fact of our era’s failure to reach the unchurched and retain youth and presents highly effective and accessible ways to address those issues.
A fantastic book for every christian!

Edited by Cheryl Catford, ‘this remarkable book should be read and meditated upon by all those who wish to follow Jesus.’ More than 30 Christian writers (including Tim Costello, Dave Andrews, Tony Campolo, Jackie Pullinger, Phillip Yancey and John Smith) have contributed their thoughts on the subject of following the fire of the Spirit.

Alan Hirsch (with Darryn Altclass) has written a ‘full-blooded and comprehensive call for the complete reorientation of the church.’
Like much of Hirsch’s work, this should be essential reading for Christians and church groups, to show a view of Church that may be far closer to the way of Jesus than current Western Christianity.
Highly recommended by Darren Cronshaw. Handbook also available.

The Handbook that provides practical and simple steps for taking your faith, your family and/or your community closer to a way of being church that emulates the genuinely missional ways of Christ and the early church.
Highly recommended by Darren Cronshaw.
