A book of practical help and encouragement for anyone looking for a new start in their spiritual journey, or wanting to take that journey further for the first time. Focuses on four crucial areas of Christian discipleship - prayer, the Bible, Church and lifestyle.

In this exhilarating book, John Pritchard reclaims the narrative power of the gospels by retelling well-known stories in vivid, imaginative language, and showing us how our own stories fit into the Christian story and can be transformed by it.

The faith we proclaim on Sunday is just as relevant to the rest of the week, but contemporary British Christianity is failing to remove the sacred - secular divide. We need to close the gap between sacred and secular, and that's what this book aims to help us do.

John Pritchard considers the importance and challenges of the vital task of intercession. He then offers practical examples of intercessions in traditional services, all-age worship, small groups and personal devotions.

Features ideas, reflections, and resources on how to extend the message of resurrection through the coming weeks and into the rest of our lives. This book includes 'articles' of accessible reflection, ways to celebrate resurrection and to continue the 'risen life', worship ideas, stories and personal experience, poetry, music and art, and more.

A tried and tested resource, particularly helpful for those who are nervous about leading prayers in church.

A lifeline for people who have lost touch with a living experience of God or find themselves no longer believing in God at all. The reasons why faith breaks down are multi-layered and complex, and they deserve to be named and understood. There is much that can then be explored in order to put a reconstructed faith on a surer footing.

Whether you are just starting out in your prayer life or want to deepen and refresh it, this practical handbook (now reissued with a new cover) will be a constant source of ideas and inspiration.

Explores how the life, teaching, death and resurrection of the greatest figure in human history have affected the world, the Church, culture, and above all human lives.

Maps out the life and work of those called to serve God in the pastoral ministry, looking at the only three things: the glory of God, the pain of the world, and the renewal of the Church.

Looking in turn at the church as it is, the church as it's meant to be, and the church as it might become, this book offers humour and insight, as well as encouragement to feel that going to church is really worthwhile.
