Christians face a tough task. In a world without consensus, all truth claims are regarded dubiously.

The Gospel does not change, but what aspects should be highlighted in our rapidly changing culture? How do we speak 'into' the culture, instead of just mirroring that culture? Malcolm Duncan constructs his case around the core statements of the Apostles' Creed. If we believe in as God as Creator, what does that mean about our treatment of His creation? If we accept Christ as Saviour and Lord, in what sense are we rescued, redeemed, remade? If we accept the Holy Spirit as Guide, where are we going and what are we here for?

We face an unbelievable task: playing our part in the world's regeneration. But God has confidence in us. If we can be confident of what He has done for us, then we can also be confident of what He wants to do through us.

This story of a mother's journey heartache, loss and total reliance on the grace of God is told with remarkable honesty as disappointment turns to devastation, anger and finally to peace and acceptance.

Not just one, but two, of Catherine's three children are born with multiple disabilities. With her pastor husband, they had two daughters who were genetically damaged. Despite faithfully nursing them until they died at the ages of 13 and 10, the girls never developed the ability to recognise their parents.

In time Catherine came to view her family tragedy from a different perspective. In this heartfelt retelling, she shows us the delights as well as the sorrows of her family life; we get to stand Under the Rainbow with her as she experiences the promises of God, which eventually lead to acceptance and freedom.

This book will make you laugh, and it may make you cry, but ultimately it will reveal to you a God who always keeps His promises. More than an autobiography, the book takes a glimpse at issues such as friendship; helping children grieve, and turning pain into gain. It will make you laugh, and it may make you cry, but ultimately it will reveal to you a God who always keeps His promises.

From a brutal and impoverished background in Reading, England, Tom Hamblin became a believer as a teenager before serving as a missionary in the Far East.

He and his wife Edna spent more than a decade leading expeditions into the heart of Borneo. Gradually they become convinced that the Lord was calling them to minister in the Arabic peninsula: in particular, to carry in thousands of Bibles in Arabic, Farsi and Urdu.

They conveyed shipment after shipment into this region, never losing a copy and surmounting all restrictions. Customs guards turned a blind eye. Tom distributed Bibles very simply: walking around with a bag and waiting for people to ask him what he was doing!

The Islamic world is widely regarded as closed to the gospel, but this is untrue. Tom discovered an extensive network of believers - very few churches, but many clandestine meetings for worship - and a huge hunger for truth.

To understand the complexity of modern Israel, you have to first understand the history.

This is a nation that has been exiled not once, not twice, but three times… and each time has returned to re-inhabit their homeland. This is unique. How and why has this happened?

This book encourages an audience who thinks Israel is an irrelevant issue to think again and understand what God has done and is doing through this small nation. This Bible is, after all, a Jewish book. Jesus was Jewish. Our destiny is tied up in both.

'God is in control. Cancer isn't. If he chooses to, God still might intervene. But even if he doesn't... you are safe. And you will never be alone.'

Taylor was an energetic nine year old when doctors traced a nagging pain in his leg to a huge tumour hidden in his pelvis.

Thus began a journey of anguish, hope, anger, joy, grief, and ultimately life. When Brian learns that the cancer has spread, and watches his son endure the protracted agony, he wrestles with God, asking loud angry questions.

Yet despite the pain Taylor 's enthusiasm for life continues. His wit, zeal and faith grow stronger, and father and son draw strength from one another as they embark upon the journey which took Taylor safely home. A wonderfully uplifting book.

In a world where natural disasters are increasingly impacting our lives, this insightful book brings together a variety of voices to discuss how we can respond practically and faithfully to such tragedies.

Consciously making room for the perspectives of survivors, responders, and academics, it provides a multi-layered and compassionate examination of a difficult and often underexplored subject. As we try to make sense of a seemingly chaotic world that features earthquakes, tsunamis, and pandemics, readers will find this unique conversation a truly ispiring resource for thought, prayer, and action.

This is a book about who God is and who we are in light of that. What we think about ourselves governs what we do. If we think we are powerless then we will behave that way. If we believe we are weak we will be weak; if we believe we have no gifts we will not use our gifting.

When we believe the wrong things about ourselves it stops us from stepping into the person we were created to be. The Bible tells us that in Jesus we are "a new creation" and yet sometimes we still wear the clothes of the old creation.

But what if we knew what God knows about us? When we know what God knows about us we will do the things He knows we can do.

Our potential is limitless...

In the Holy Land, despite the politics and conflict that divide Jews and non-Jews, the Body of Christ is growing.

Author Julia Fisher presents fourteen true stories from Jewish, Arab and Palestinian believers living in Israel and Palestinian areas that describe what God is doing despite the current tide of political and religious turmoil.

Reconciliation is at the heart of each story, though reconciliation in the context of the Middle East is fraught with danger and seemingly impossible challenges. These interviews, demonstrate how, despite the tensions and the dreadful headlines, the Christian faith is growing. More and more Muslims are becoming Christians - stories of Palestinian Muslims becoming Christians and stories of Jewish people, some of them former orthodox Jews, becoming believers.

Interviewees include expatriate Jews, children of Holocaust survivors, believers from Muslim backgrounds, a former drug addict, a pastor in Bethlehem, and an Egyptian setting up an underground church in Gaza. This will be enjoyed by those fascinated by the land of Israel, and the narrative of the Jewish people.

Fear does not need to choke your life. Jesus Christ has already paved the way for your freedom.

Most of us can expect to live longer than our parents, and much longer than our grandparents. But longevity comes at a cost, and many older people are isolated, get depressed, suffer mental and physical ill health, are beset by worries about money and grandchildren, feel lost in a swiftly changing environment.

Louise Morse, who has immense experience of working with older people and those who care for them, is convinced that there is a huge amount that we can all do to live well as we live longer.

The basics are not complex, but they do require thought and preparation, and many of the solutions touch on the spiritual - issues of respect, belief, purpose and outlook. God sees old age as a time of harvest; of fruitfulness and wisdom, of the crown of splendour the Bible describes.

This is a straightforward, wise, practical book which offers real benefits in terms of fruitfulness and cheerfulness - and shows how all of us can continue to play a part in tomorrow's world.

Ben Freeth established his credentials to write on this topic through his courageous and successful resistance to the bullying tactics employed by the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe to throw him and his family off their land, a story told in Mugabe and the White African.

He now throws his net wider to ask: what response should Christians make to corruption and injustice when perpetrated by governments? Justice is a fundamental aspect of the Judeo-Christian faith.

Ben explores this theme through his own experience of government oppression in Zimbabwe, and through contemporary instances where Christians have - or have not - stood up to be counted. He considers the Biblical injunction to obey your rulers, and examines the issues of fear and complacency: sometimes Christians are compromised by their relationship with the ruling group. What is our duty? Most Christians feel powerless. What can we actually do, as individuals, and as a group?

The question of how, and whether, God answers prayer has been intellectually shaped by the rise of science, the problem of evil and the nature of the biblical records.

Scientist and theologian David Wilkinson shares his own struggles with the question of how God answers prayer. Science does not rule out God acting in the universe in surprising ways; the Bible shows a God who acts in the world in response to people's prayers. Yet there is always a mystery about the nature and outcome of prayer, not least in the experience of unanswered prayer.

The author shares his struggles with praying in the midst of his wife's long-term illness. What we believe affects how we pray. God is neither a slot machine, nor an indulgent parent, nor a divine dictator, nor a ruler in absentia.

Questions covered include:

How does God work in a world of science?

Why doesn't He answer more often?

Has God acted in history?

How did Jesus pray?

How, in a world governed by law and grace, should we pray?

Few of us are superheroes. Most of us are plain ordinary. In spite of this fact God continues to throw the impossible in our direction and, invariably, we shout back 'I can't!' Yet we discover this is the best background against which God can 'do immeasurably more than we can even ask or think' as the apostle Paul put it.

'When We Can't, God Can' sets side by side the stories of men and women from both the biblical narrative and today who said 'I can't', only to go on to accomplish great things for the God who declares his strength to be made perfect in weakness.

Catherine's particular gift is to encourage, and to provide connections between the experience of biblical characters and life today.

A resource for sufferers of dementia and their carers, offering consolation and support in tough times.

People coping with dementia, either their own or their relative's, are so shattered that they need help almost at the Lego box level.

'Worshipping with Dementia' gives hard-pressed people a book they can pick up and leaf through for words and Scriptures and prayers to help at any time: In the morning, in the evening, over coffee or in a crisis. The biggest thing it will do is let them know they are not alone.

The collection is topic related, so someone can turn to the page(s) on 'feeling rejected', or 'being misunderstood,' or 'being angry,' or 'feeling guilty' , or any one of the hundred and one things that affect them personally.

For many their faith is the only thing keeping them going. This book will strengthen that lifeline.
