This is a practical guide for becoming the couple God wants you to be by shaping your lives around the heart of the gospel. Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response. The cost of this book is £5 and can be obtained direct from The Good Book Company.

Tim Chester will be joining us on a Sunday in May as our guest speaker.

This is an insightful book about grace, the most powerful force in the universe and our only hope for love and forgiveness. Philip Yancey says "I see grace as one of the great, often untapped powers of the universe that God has asked us to set loose."

This tackles the following questions: What is prayer? What difference does it make? Why and how should we pray? What about unanswered prayer? How should we understand prayer for physical healing? Focusing on such a universal theme, this is potentially Yancey's biggest book yet.

In this volume, Max Lucado offers thoughtful answers to over 150 questions on topics ranging from hope to hurt.  The questions are those he has experienced in more than 25 years of being a Christian writer and minister.  The questions cover many day to day issues: financial challenges, difficult relationships, parenting dilemmas as well as more profound and deep questions.

A book made up of the content of eight talks, pitched at a popular level.  This is a really brilliant, short introduction to the 'big picture' of the Bible and is recommended by Dave Burke as a great holiday read!

This book is like dynamite to the soul. It is ‘read a chapter a day book’ (too much explosive in one dose is, well, explosive), chapters averaging about 20 pages (190 pages altogether). If you don’t want to be challenged and changed, don’t read this book, but if that is you, hear the warning ‘Don’t waste your life’. Most people slip by in life without a passion for God, spending their lives on trivial diversions, living for comfort and pleasure, and perhaps trying to avoid sin. This book will warn you not to get caught up in a life that counts for nothing. It will challenge you to live and die boasting in the cross of Christ and making the glory of God your singular passion. Not for the faint-hearted, but hey, we only live once so give your heart a work out!

This book is short (160 pages), small (slightly bigger than a postcard) and packed full of punch (like a pepperami). It, like the others, is an easy read so whether you are used to ploughing through meaty tomes, it is for you. The writer paints a striking picture of the daily battle quietly raging within every Christian and asks whether you will passively give in to the enemy of your soul, pride, or actively cultivate your best friend, humility. When you intentionally humble yourself you will find a new life is yours – a life God richly favours. A God-glorifying life you don’t want to miss. Go on, get hold of it and read it. You won’t regret it!

Tom Wright's guide to Luke includes a wealth of information and detail and provides real insights for our understanding of the life of Jesus and its implications for the reader.  His clear style is accessible to new readers of the Bible as well as to those who are further on.  Tom Wright's exciting new translation brings to life, passage by passage, the immediacy and drama of Luke's gospel.

Essential 100 is your companion for the E100 Bible Reading Challenge.  This takes you through 100 Old and New Testament passages so that you can see how all the major Bible themes fit together.  It is written in a warm and engaging style and provides explanations for all of the 100 passages and applies these to our everyday lives.

The book explores the difficult days in our current world history. In Outlive Your Life, Max looks at the gift we have been given; an opportunity to make a big difference. Max Lucado reminds us that God invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth. Encouraging us to live our lives in such a way that the world around us will be glad we did.

This new devotional on Psalms 1-12 is a classic by Dale Ralph Davis. It's packed with gems to either devour or enjoy one lesisurely moment at a time.  When the "Muck of Life" starts to fly where do we turn as Christians?  Walking through these first few Psalms, Davis points his readers wonderfully in the same direction as that of the Psalmist - to Jesus!

This book by Max Lucado leads readers through a word by word study of John 3:16.  The book offers hope and encouragement for believers and seekers alike, and gives Christians and churches new passion for sharing the gospel.  If 9/11 are the numbers of terror and despair, 3:16 are the numbers of hope.

This new book by Rob Parsons is available from 19th February.  Written with both sensitivity and humour it offers an insight into the every day challenges experienced by families and of how they can be overcome. 

"Reading this book may be the best sixty minutes you will ever spend" Suzy Hayman, BBC Radio Journalist.

This book gets stuck between your teeth, but you can’t help eating more! With 15 chapters of about 10 pages it will leave you plenty of time to feed your habits – like pray. That is what it is about. God invites us into his presence, he wants a conversation with us in which we speak and listen. And he calls us to develop spiritually healthy habits of prayer. Practical, honest and full of adventure. Why not finish the summer having learnt a new habit; you are too busy not to pray!
