Francis Bridger explores his journey in the fourteen months after his wife’s very sudden death. A thought-provoking theological reassessment of the reality of grief.In March 2003 Francis Bridger lost his wife very suddenly to cancer. In twenty-three days, Renee went from diagnosis to death. This tragic and untimely ending had a devastating effect on Francis, and the resulting feelings of loss and abandonment threw up profound spiritual questions which the insights of years of pastoral care and theological training could not contain.Here, he explores his journey from that immediate time of crisis to the present. He shares extracts from his journal which show the daily struggle with emotions that often threatened to overwhelm. The book also includes letters to a close friend that show how he faced his struggles with God.23 Days: A Story of Love, Death and God gives no easy answers, rather a frank acknowledgement of how difficult are the questions that arise at these times of deepest need and suffering. It will offer help to other people of faith experiencing bereavement, as well as all those involved in pastoral care and counselling for the bereaved.
Jim Bridger
Even among iconic frontiersmen like John C. Frémont, Kit Carson, and Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger stands out. A mountain man of the American West, straddling the fur trade era and the age of exploration, he lived the life legends are made of. His adventures are fit for remaking into the tall tales Bridger himself liked to tell. Here, in a biography that finally gives this outsize character his due, Jerry Enzler takes this frontiersman’s full measure for the first time—and tells a story that would do Jim Bridger proud. Born in 1804 and orphaned at thirteen, Bridger made his first western foray in 1822, traveling up the Missouri River with Mike Fink and a hundred enterprising young men to ...
Jim Bridger
On March 20, 1822, the Missouri Republican published a notice addressed to enterprising young men in the St. Louise area. The subscriber, it said wishes to engage one hundred young men to ascend the Missouri River to its source, there to be employed for one, two, or three years. For particulars enquire of Major Andrew Henry or of the subscriber near St. Louise. The subscriber was General William H. Ashley, and among the enterprising young men who embarked with Major Henry less than a month later was eighteen-year-old James Bridger, former blacksmiths apprentice.

An Amazing Journey
How has the Church responded to the challenge to combat institutional racism? To what extent are the issues being addressed by church schools, clergy and parishes? How are theological colleges and courses responding to the importance of preparing and training ordinands for leadership in multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-faith Britain? These are some of the questions that have challenged the Church of England in its struggle to understand racism and the way that it is used by institutions, maybe unwittingly, to disadvantage minority ethnic people. The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry Report acted as a catalyst and forced the Church to take a fresh look at itself with respect to its record in combating institutional racism. This book gives new insights into the Church of England's response to race issues and presents a fascinating view of the Church at the start of the twenty-first century. It highlights examples of good practice and demonstrates the progress that has been made wince the publication in 1991 of Seeds of Hope, a seminal report of a survey on combating rascism in the Church of England.
An Uncertain Certainty
Many people in Christian ministry are tired of simplistic certainties; what they need is permission to live with uncertainty, with mystery, ambiguity, and paradox. Because we live in a world that is far removed from the modernist version of reality,with its rational, clinical, and superficial presentation of life, we need the courage and wisdom to embrace the presence of uncertainties in the midst of certainty. In this book, the author offers snapshots of a number of central Christian topics-God, the gospel, the church, salvation, ministry-inviting us to treat them as features of a landscape to explore rather than a set of propositional statements to sign up to. Each chapter-short enough to provoke interest and curiosity-will be a catalyst for deeper reflection and enquiry, inviting us to discover a new freedom in ministry as we embrace a more generous both-and perspective in place of a more narrow either-or interpretation of the Christian faith. In the process, we may find ourselves rediscovering the Life we have lost in living as we imaginatively participate in the life, ministry, and mystery of the triune God of grace in our midst.
