Influential Women
Wendy offers studies of key women in the New Testament as a starting point for a series of reflections on women's roles in the church today. Some of these women were saints, full of good works; some were frankly poisonous and did considerable harm. From her long experience within Newfrontiers, Wendy offers a good deal of shrewd advice and writes candidly about her own struggles to fit into church structures. Women can be powerful in a church and can be influential in changing it from a sick community to a healthy one. They can be a tremendous asset or a huge liability. They can influence the whole ambience of a church... The pages of the New Testament contain a surprising number of references to women to whom we can relate as we seek to build good healthy churches in the twenty first century.""

The Spirit-Filled Church
A lucid account of the function of the Spirit in the growth of the church. Through the history of God's people the constant element has been the presence of the Almighty. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, which so galvanized the young church, equipped and empowered the believers, boosting courage, fostering fluency and granting insights to ordinary men and women. Terry Virgo was baptized in the Holy Spirit as a young believer, and delighted in the experience. 'As we began to welcome the presence of the Holy Spirit, our church life was transformed,' he explains. 'The presence of the Holy Spirit changed everything.' As the Spirit moves, so there are healings, often dramatic. But there is more: a discovery of God's grace. As people discover grace for themselves a far more profound healing takes place, leading first to worship, then a recognition that we are a prophetic people.
His Strong Hand
Seeing God's hand in the everyday: 40 reflections to boost your spirit. -Before I could take one timid step towards him, Jesus leapt up and came running with his arms outstretched. 'Where have you been?' he shouted joyously. 'I've missed you!' -I was totally melted. I forgot my careful prayer and spent the next hour laughing, crying and worshipping. It was one of the most precious hours in my life. Sometime during that hour he lovingly chided me, 'Why do you shut me up here in your room? Let me come with you when you walk to the school, or when you go shopping. I can be with you when you tend to the baby in the night, when you are cleaning and ironing.'- Designed to be read as a quick pick-me-up, these meditations will prove an ideal way to start or end a busy day. Wendy's gentle, cheerful style combines a keen eye for detail with moments of profundity. Her underlying theme is gratitude.
God's Lavish Grace

Magnificent Jesus
In this new Lent study guide, Wendy Virgo explores the rich images in John’s Gospel which reveal Jesus as the magnificent Saviour who meets all our needs.We follow Jesus’ ministry, as His encounters with ordinary people unfold new aspects of His character: the woman by the well learns of Jesus as the Water of Life; the hungry multitude find the Bread of Life; the blind man sees the Light of the World; the disciples recognise the Good Shepherd. And as Jesus draws nearer to the cross, we see Him as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and, ultimately, the Resurrection and the Life.Key passages from the Old Testament are also unpacked to show how Jesus fulfils the prophecies about the coming Saviour.With opening icebreakers, suggested prayers and discussion starters and more, this guide is ideal for small group study and the material requires minimal preparation by the leader.
