Christian Focus Publications Ltd Input-output: Getting to the Heart of Personal
Book SynopsisJo Boddam-Whetham has written this book to get you into another book - the Bible. She aims to challenge and equip you to develop a regular, individual time of reading God's Word and praying. When you let God in his Word and his wisdom steer you in the right direction and help you to make the right choices. Reading God's Word and praying to him are an essential part of receiving God's input and ensuring the right output from your life. To know that God loves you and that there is nothing more that you can do to make him love you more than he does already - that's great. Reading the Bible and praying is not about making God love you more - it's about feeding and watering your soul so that your love for God grows and spills over, impacting your life and your world.Trade ReviewThe best book to read is the Bible! The trouble is it can often be hard to get into. Input Output is a brilliant little book that will help you get stuck into reading the Bible for yourself. Jo writes in a really easy to read, engaging way that will get you excited about the Bible and help you know how best to read it regularly. So dig deep, read it and let it transform your Bible reading habits! -- Jonathan Carswell, 10ofthoseClear and compelling, down-to-earth and practical, this is an engaging guide to getting to know God better through regular prayer and Bible reading. Full of helpful hints and teaching, I warmly commend it as a first class starter. -- David Jackman (Past President, The Proclamation Trust, London)

Book SynopsisForty–one different people from various stages and walks of life summarise what prayer means to them, how it has been their life strength and a direct communication with their Creator, Lord and Saviour. Contributors include: David Robertson, Dorothy Paterson, John Piper, Steve Brady and Wallace BennTrade Review... moving, challenging, personal, practical and real. A perfect present and an ideal read for a book group. -- Evangelical Magazine of Wales"Yes, He does meet needs and answer our petitions; and prayer is the tool for responding to that provision with a heart of gratitude." -- Dorothy K. Patterson (Professor of Theology in Women?s Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Forth Worth, Texas)If you ever feel that your prayers are going no higher than the ceiling, then this book will encourage you to keep praying, and will answer some of the questions you have about prayer and how it works. -- Free- Free Church of Scotland Youth Magazine"One day I will die - until then I will live on this earth thankful to God that I am living proof that prayer does indeed impact lives." -- David Robertson (Well–known pastor and apologist)"Whether I am having 'a great day', whatever that means, or a 'bad hair' one and feeling about as spiritual as a plate of spam sandwiches, I need to remind myself that because of Jesus I may always come to my Father, inspired and energised by the Holy Spirit." -- Steve Brady (Senior Minister, First Baptist Church, Grand Cayman)"When God hungers for some special satisfaction, he seeks out a prayer to answer.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd A Transforming Vision: The Lord's Prayer as a
Book SynopsisWe can be in danger of no longer really understanding the meaning of the Lord's Prayer simply because it is heard and spoken so often. Edgar illustrates the depth of the prayer as he shows it in the original context, and shows what that means for us in our context today and in the future. The Lord's Prayer defines our faith and defines the Biblical worldview.Trade ReviewUnpacks the Lord's Prayer in order to teach you your faith and change how you pray. -- David Powlison ((1949–2019) CCEF Executive Director, Senior Editor, Journal of Biblical Counseling)The multi-faceted Word of God never ceases to amaze in its ability to give wisdom and understanding; the Lord's Prayer is no exception. It has always been an important part of the tapestry of a walk with God, yet Dr. William Edgar has opened up new and life changing dimensions of this familiar passage. Approaching this prayer as an "apologetic for the biblical worldview" puts this book in a class by itself. Without a doubt, A Transforming Vision will prove to be a pivotal and treasured book in the life of the church. -- Carl Ellis Jr. (Assistant Professor of Practical Theology, Redeemer Seminary, Dallas, Texas)... Seeking to get behind the over-familiarity of many Christians with the Lord's Prayer, Edgar sets the prayer in its wider biblical context and expounds the prayer as 'An Apologetic for a Biblical World and Life View', as his introduction puts it ... very readable and offers significant help for the Lord's people in understanding the instruction he himself has provided for their praying. -- The Covenanter Witness - Magazine of the Reformed Presbyterian Churches of Scotland and Ireland...explores the depth of the Lord's Prayer in its original context, discusses what it means for today's believer, and shows how this prayer frames the Christian worldview. Recommend this title to pastors and laypeople who want to know more about the Lord's Prayer. -- CBA MagazineA Transforming Vision walks readers through the iconic phrases of the Lord's Prayer, shedding fresh light on how the passage can profoundly shape a believer's walk with God. But Edgar goes further, showing how "this extraordinary prayer is also an apologetic for a biblical worldview." one that offers "a remarkable statement of faith, as it stands opposed to a confused world." -- Christianity Today

Messenger Publications Hearers of the Word: Praying & exploring the
Book SynopsisThe readings for Lent in year C are mostly from Luke, with the emphasis falling on conversion and reconciliation (even the “stray” reading from John 8:1-11 is Lukan in tone). This year, the narrative arc from the Old Testament begins with a very ancient Israelite creed, “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor,” a mysteriously inspiring narrative. In a markedly consistent way, the middle readings, all from the undisputed letters of Paul, link with other readings and help to bring them into our present moment. By exploring the context and background to all three readings, the author hopes to make the readings available for personal prayer and as a preparation for taking part in the Sunday liturgy.

Messenger Publications Joy in God: Rekindling an Inner Fire
Book Synopsis Contemplative prayer and the contemplative way of life are the central themes of this book. Against the backdrop of their rich experience of accompanying those coming on retreat to House Gries, Germany, the authors talk about what happens in silence: healing and wholeness, suffering and consolation, forgiveness and reconciliation, gratitude and joy... This originated from a desire to make more widely available the experiences that emerge through conversations between retreatants and guides. The individual chapters of the book, each based on a particular theme have a clear and consistent structure. A short introduction to the theme is followed by a conversation. Scripture, the writings of St. Ignatius, experiences from spiritual accompaniment as well as the authors’ own personal experiences form the basis for these conversations. Through using the questions, “Where was my heart burning?” “Where were my eyes opened?” the authors pick out aspects in the conversation which triggered a particular resonance within them. Finally, each chapter concludes with short exercises for the reader, relevant to the theme.Trade Review‘...a wonderfully comforting book, an opportunity to recalibrate our busy lives and give ourselves the space and time to rediscover genuine rest, insight and a new way of living.’ * Intercom magazine *‘...a book that simply must be read to be truly appreciated. There is a lot packed into these pages.’ * The Irish Catholic *

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Life Lines: Sane Meditations for a mad world
Book Synopsis Geraint Fielder has an ability to stop you in your tracks and think again about the world around you. Here are some choice offerings that will help you re-assess your worldview and provide a more fulfilling direction to your life. It's time someone threw you a lifeline!This book of meditations and devotions is based on Geraint Fielder's broadcasts for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Wales. Trade Review"I first came across Geraint Fielder's radio broadcasts in the comfort of my kitchen listening to Radio 4's 'Prayer for the Day'. Normally the programme either provides a timely thought to start the day or provokes me to want to throw my teacup at the radio. At first I only half-listened but gradually my attention was arrested (there is no other suitable word) by what the broadcaster had to say. This was the only week that I can remember setting my alarm to make sure that I caught it next day. The broadcaster was Geraint Fielder and although the programme was only a few minutes long it was breathtaking what he could achieve in such a short time. Afterwards other items on religious broadcasting slots became colourless and shallow by comparison. Geraint has a talent, and he uses it well. When you read on you will know exactly what I mean." -- Ian Thompson, Publisher (VP for Sales, Presbyterian & Reformed Publishing)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Forgive Us Our Prayers: The Secret of Effective
Book SynopsisPrayer is basic to our spiritual survival. To stay spiritually healthy we cannot afford to classify prayer as a low priority item. Yet if God was listening to us pray, would we have to utter the words Forgive us our prayers… Jesus gave us practical help to understand how to pray. From his own words we can learn how to change the way we pray for better. Through Dr. Huffman’s study of ‘the Lord’s Prayer’ we will discover fresh insights into the importance and centrality prayer should have in our lives – and if it isn’t, how to make it so. What is prayer? God has given us an amazingly powerful spiritual resource, modelled to us through the ministry of Christ. Prayer will equip us in our times of difficulty, help us praise at times of joy – it is the basis for our ongoing relationship with our heavenly Father. In ‘Forgive us our Prayers’ John has produced an accessible, yet challenging, book that could be of huge significance in your life.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Benedictions: A Pocket Resource
Book SynopsisBenedictions are pronounced by ministers at the close of worship services as an expression of hope and encouragement to God's people to face whatever their future might hold. This makes them a Biblical norm for the end of worship - something we should consider doing each time we leave God's presence and go out into the world. If you are involved with leading worship in the church or in the home your next question will be 'Where do I go to find them?' Fortunately Robert Vasholz has done the legwork for you. He has collected in this one book the benedictions found in scripture along with some additional scripture enriched blessings for use during worship. Use them to help Christians have a greater effect on the world.Trade Review"..an attractive resource, which can enlarge the minister's repertoire and be slipped conveniently into his pocket" -- Rt Rev Dr J Barry Schucksmith Royal Navy (Rtd)"Robert Vasholz has collected many of the Bible's benedictions and constructed other scripture-enriched blessings for the use of ministers who lead worship. Indeed all Christians will be "blessed" by reading and praying these wonderful words from God." -- David Calhoun in the introduction ((1937–2021) Professor of Church History, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Practical Prayer
Book SynopsisHow is your prayer Life? Or is that a touchy question? If we are honest with ourselves we feel more than a bit awkward when questioned about our conversation times with God. Derek Prime gives us a heartfelt and practical approach to prayer. Here are fresh, vibrant ideas to strengthen and enliven what can so often be a disappointing part of our spiritual life.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Talking With God
Book SynopsisThank you that you are my Father in heaven that I never have to say 'Goodbye'. Thank you that you are always with me." In an age of absentee fathers, or worse, this book makes praying the 'Our Father' accessible to all children. Good foundations are laid for a child's understanding of the character of God. It's fun too - hunt the prayer replaces hunt the thimble as just the thing for the family to do instead of watching Neighbours. There are good ideas of making a banner which even dads might join in with.Though the artwork is good, the pages leave me wondering who is supposed to read the book - parent, leader, or child? The teaching itself is sometimes uneasily mingled with instructions about using it. And if only we had a version of the Lord's Prayer everyone used.However, the book will prove a treasure trove of ideas either for family prayers or for Sunday groups. I am looking forward to playing Get it right, the board game inside the back cover. This game helps us think through the choices we make in our behaviour each day and especially what 'Your will be done' might mean in the school playground.Trade Review"This is a must have book for parents with growing children. Through studying the Lord's Prayer, and with discussion topics and things to do together, you can help your child understand what prayer is all about. Lessons are reinforced with craft activities and a fun, foldout game." -- Indepth

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Praying for Revival
Book SynopsisHow often have you heard prayers for Revival in public? How often have you prayed for Revival in private? As Christians, we all long for Revival. We read accounts of revivals in the past with a mildly repressed envy. We wish we would experience them in our local situation but having seen new methods come and go, too often we resign ourselves to failure. In this devotional book Eric Hayden reminds us of the necessity of prayer when we desire revival. Looking at the thirty-five prayers for revival found in the bible Hayden gives us a series of short studies on Revival and Prayer. Hayden divides these prayers into seven sections. Prayers revealing the Need for Revival Prayer for a Vision of Revival Prayer to the Sovereign God of Revival Prayers for Personal Revival Prayers for the Corporate Revival of God's People Prayers for National Revival Prayers for the Revival of God's Word With a chapter for each prayer we are shown how Prayer and Revival are intricately linked in Scripture and consequently in our every day lives. This is a wonderful book that will help revive in us the Biblical attitude to revival, and remind us that Revival comes from God himself. Trade Review"Eric Hayden understands true revival. He also understands that true revival usually comes when God's people pray for the gift of the Spirit biblically and passionately. This book should be commended to church leaders the world over. It is both clear headed and warm hearted." -- John H. Armstrong, President, Reformation & Revival Ministries (Director of Renew and formerly a Pastor for twenty years)

I can't recommend this wonderful tool more highly." -- C. J. Mahaney, Senior Pastor, Covenant Life Church (Senior Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky)My First Book of Bible Prayers helps 'children of all ages' to take the first steps towards the Heavenly Father. Give your children this outstanding little book, and use it with them. It might well be one of the most important things you could ever do as a parent." -- Sinclair B. Ferguson, Senior Pastor, First Presbtyerian Church, Columba,Texas (Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi)"Sunday School teachers would greatly value giving the book to children from unbelieving families who show spiritual concern, helping them to draw near to the Lord daily." -- Jill Masters, Tabernacle Bookshop"We have best understood the Bible when we turn it into prayer. That is what Philip Ross does for children in My First Book of Bible Prayers. He takes brief texts of Scripture and turns them into simple, and yet profound prayers that children can readily use. This little booklet will open the heavens for many at a young age. I wish this rich spiritual resource had been available to me twenty years ago!" -- Dr. Douglas F.
