The Psychology of Christian Character Formation
The Psychology of Christian Character Formation offers clergy and those preparing for ministry some of the potential riches provided by rapidly developing branches of contemporary scientific psychology of which they might otherwise be unaware. Joanna Collicutt, an experienced psychologist and theological educator, focuses on the psychology of character, virtue and spirituality.

The focus for 2013 is the Lord's Prayer, not only reflecting on the relevant passages from the Gospels but considering the prayer in the wider context of New Testament teaching on prayer.

Meeting Jesus
Meeting Jesus explores the nature of encounter with God through reflecting on four key parables at the heart of Luke's Gospel - the lost sheep, the lost coin, the prodigal son, and the dishonest steward.

The fresh insights the authors offer are illustrated and considered from both a theological and a contemporary psychological perspective.
