A little book of personal prayers and intercessions.
Designed with today's busy lifestyles in mind, this versatile collection will help you create a regular pattern of prayer, even if you have only a snatched moment. Popular spiritual writer Angela Ashwin provides an order of prayer for every day of the Christian year that can be used in a variety of ways depending on individual circumstances.
"Prayer is God's gift to us, a banquet of good things to feed our inner life, as we respond to the invitation to his feast of peace, forgiveness, challenge and love." If our lives are an open book to God, prayer is the dialogue we share with him over its pages. The Book of a Thousand Prayers is a collection of wise and honest prayers to God about his concerns and ours: who he is to us and who we are to him, and how we experience life, death, relationships, the church, and the world. Ideal for private prayer and public worship, and containing practical advice on how to pray, this book offers a spiritual feast that will nourish you for the rest of your life. "A moving and inspiring medley of prayers--an invaluable aid for individuals, home groups, and those people who lead worship." --Joyce Huggett
A feast of material for the entire Christian year from popular retreat leader and spiritual writer Ann Lewin, including seasonal liturgies, prayers, worship ideas, retreat programmes and themed reflections.
A leading Christian writer helps us to fi nd creative ways of swimming against the tide of convention for the sake of what is generous, joyful and true. Angela Ashwin shows how wise and holy fools encourage us to free up a little and enjoy life more; remind us that we do not have to be productive or important in order to be valuable; help us to face our limitations and failings; and sit alongside us when we are broken.

Until now, Fresh Expressions has been about starting and sustaining mission initiatives among people with little or no church contact. As these projects mature, pastoral problems easily arise - how do you integrate the old with the new? How do you get an established congregation to change it views and practices? How do you cope with conflict? What if newcomers challenge set patterns of church behaviour rather than conform with them? The publication is structured for use for training in local churches, theological colleges and as a research tool in postgraduate study.
