Doing what Jesus did takes a fresh look at the gifts of the Spirit, suggesting they are best regarded as a description of the ministry of Jesus, to be welcomed not as feathers in the caps of individuals but as shared resources made available to us as we set out together to help continue that ministry.

A Lent course by Alison Morgan and Bill Goodman. For more information on the course click on the cover.

A group of about ten of us finished 'Season of Renewal' last night. It was unanimously agreed that it had been the most inspiring and helpful Lent course we had ever shared in. We particularly appreciated the various practical items included in it, especially the "hot seat" during the fourth week... This did much to help us believe that we might be of some use to the Lord in his mission after all! - Canon John Gunstone

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.

At its best, renewal can bring fresh life and excitement. And yet it can also be reduced to a mere cultural package and fail to deliver what is promised. This exciting study looks at Scripture, history and experience to explore the true nature of renewal, and to offer a fresh vision of what renewal means today.

A 16 page booklet which explores what it means to be made new on a personal level. It includes a renewal meditation for use either individually or in groups.

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.
