“A hugely important book. Encouraging, uplifting and inspiring, it offers a vision of how each one of us can regain and maintain our confidence in the Gospel” – Dr Paula Gooder  
“Alison Morgan’s writing is so winsome that it’s easy to be caught up in the beauty of what she’s saying before you realise she’s just smacked you between the eyes with a piece of two-by-four. This new book presents a deeply radical message in the most eloquent and seductive manner. You’ve been warned!” – Michael Frost  
“The Word on the Wind is prayer that has been distilled by a powerful and poetic mind. Never abstract and never shallow, it brings the fountain-fresh water of the Spirit to an age that’s dry, and sick of dusty answers.” –  Bishop Paul Bayes

The Word of God - what does it mean?

The sentence 'In the beginning was the Word' has fascinated and tantalised me ever since I first read it. I'm a linguist - so I start with the question 'what are words?' And what is the Word of God? And can we speak it too, and what happens when we do? Offering a mixture of theological reflection, testimony, poetry, and image, the aim of the booklet is to challenge our preconceptions and affirm the word of God as something powerful, dynamic and life-changing - if we know how to use it.

What Happens When We Die?

This is the book I would have liked to read when a friend died and started me on a journey of spiritual searching. It looks at the evidence for life after death, examining the beliefs of different historical periods and faiths as well as considering paranormal phenomena. It is written primarily as an introduction to the Christian faith from the perspective of an enquirer, and is ideal as a book to give away to someone looking at these issues for the first time.
