BEEKE J Puritan reformed spirituality
Evangelical Press 2006 0852346298 / 9780852346297 Paperback
[Number in stock: 5]
In these pages Dr Joel Beeke provides us with a first class tour of some of the great sites of Reformed theology and spirituality. Here we meet John Calvin, reformer extraordinaire; then we encounter the learned Dr William Ames and the insightful Anthony Burgess. Soon we have travelled north to meet the Scotsmen John Brown of Haddington, the great Thomas Boston and the remarkable brothers, Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine. Predictably, but happily our guide brigs us to The Netherlands and to the time of the Nadere Reformatie, before being brought back to the New World in the company of the remarkable Theodorus Jacobus Freylinghuysen. But the climax of this tour is not reached until our trusted guide has brought us to the family roots from which all these theologians and pastors came -- to the strong foundations of Christian living in justification by faith and sanctification in life, nourished by the power of biblical preaching.

Brother Lawrence The Practice of the Presence of God
New Seeds 2005 1590302508 / 9781590302507 Binding Code: H/C Gift Edit
[Number in stock: 2]
This is a complete book with spiritual Maxims, Gathered Thoughts, Conversations and Letters by Brother Lawrence. Those in the thick of the great world will learn from this book how greatly they deceive themselves, seeking for peace and joy in the false glitter of the things that are seen yet temporal: those who are seeking the Highest God will gain from this book strength to persevere in the practice of the virtue. This unique book has a special significance as the theme is universal and so is the endeavour to practice the presence of God. The practice of 'sadhana' is referred to thus in the sacred Hindu Text 'Yogasutras of Patanjali'.
Brother Lawrence (1611-1691), was an earnest seeker of God. He had an experience at the age of 18.He was a changed person since then and till the last day of his life he was in commune with God to whom he surrendered himself completely. Details of Brother Lawrence are meagre. He worked as a soldier and a footman. He was noted for his technique of recollections. He observed once that he possessed God in as great tranquillity as if he was upon his knees at the blessed sacrament.

Dawn M J My Soul Waits
IVP 2007 due Aug 0830834435 / 9780830834433 Paperback
[Number in stock: 3]
An overwhemling number of us are lonely. Sometimes we are lonely for a specific reason: our spouse has recently died or left us; our children have just gone from home or have been tragically killed; we are fighting a particular battle against illness or suffering the ravages of chemotherapy; we are new in the neighbourhood; our values are different from those of our work colleagues; it is a Friday night and all our other single friends have dates. Sometimes our loneliness is a general, pervasive alienation; we just don't feel as if we belong in our place of work, in our community, in our family, even in our church.
Our struggle with loneliness often results in a lament directed at God. We might say something like, How long Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? When we cry out words like these, we find ourselves praying the words of the Psalms.
In My Soul Waits, Marva Dawn guides us through psalms that reveal the burdens of our souls to God, and in turn reveal God's profound, intimate concern for our pain and a promise to abide with us in it.
Readers feeling the sting of loneliness will take comfort in this very personal book. Those who strive to support the lonely among them will take wise counsel from the Scriptures it expounds. All will encounter a renewed hope in the One who lists our tears only to wipe them all away.

Fernando A Spiritual living in a secular world
Monarch 2002 1854245783 / 9781854245786 Paperback
[Number in stock: 4]
Christians today often feel themselves to be without a voice: a minority in an indifferent world. Should we withdraw? Get stuck in, despite blurred boundaries? Like the Israelites in Babylon, for many of us this is a time of temptation and defeat. Ajith Fernando's warm, entertaining book uses the experience of the young Israelite, Daniel. Daniel and his companions were the elite: young men of outstanding ability. God put them in a position where their names - their very identity - were changed to fit Babylonian culture. They learned pagan languages, studied matters alien to their own culture, became steeped in Babylonian society. Yet they did not compromise their principles. They avoided the opposite traps of isolation, and accommodation. By their lifestyle of radical obedience they proclaimed that the kingdom of God is alive and well - and so can we.

Green M In search of spirituality
Monarch 2007 1854248022 / 9781854248022 Paperback
[Number in stock: 4]
Today everyone is looking for spirituality. This new quest takes many forms. Some explore the ancient wisdom of the Egyptian Pharaohs, or the secrets of Stonehenge. Others get involved in Wicca or New Age.
But how can you find a way through the maze of spiritualities on offer? How can you find something that really works, and satisfies your spirit without rubbishing your mind?
- A spirituality to live by has got to be true. If you go for a lovely fairy tale it will not support you when disaster strikes.
- A spirituality to live by has got to be relevant. It may be true, but if it does not make any difference in ordinary life, you can keep it.
- A spirituality to live by has got to be able to change lives. If it can't remove fear, especially the fear of death; if it can't break bad habits; if it can't clean up guilt, then it's not good enough.
I want a spirituality that can bear my weight through life and in the face of death, says Dr Michael Green. It must be based on truth, not fantasy. That is why it is worth bothering about Jesus. He might just prove to be the way out of the maze.
Canon Dr Michael Green is a prolific author, a biblical scholar, and a passionate advocate for Jesus Christ. He currently divides his time between the UK and US.
