This is the heart of contemplation, freeing us from the traps of our perceptions and preoccupations. The contemplative mind teaches us how to see what we behold with new depth and appreciation.

Learning to Breathe

My Journey With Mental Illness Find more books on mental health on p19 Rachael Newham It begins slowly, so slowly that I hardly notice at first. My chest tightens and my heart begins to beat a fraction faster. I try to draw breath, but instead I choke on oxygen I can't inhale. As I realise that I can't breathe, the panic wraps itself around my mind. Rachael was 6 when she had her first suicidal thought. Over the next decade, life would become increasingly fraught with depression and self-harm. And yet amidst this darkness, a flicker of faith lived on. This is Rachael's story of her journey into, and out of, depression. With unflinching realism and complete honesty, she shows us what it looks like to live with mental illness, and how God can find us and rescue us even in the most desperate of places.

The Sacred Year

Michael Yankoski Frustrated and disillusioned with life, Michael was determined to stop merely talking about living a life of faith. The result was a year focused on ancient and modern spiritual practices.

From contemplating apples for an hour before tasting them (attentiveness), eating on just $2 a day (simplicity), or writing letters of thanks (gratitude), he discovered new vitality and depth through intentional life. Both entertaining and profound, his story will resonate with those who wish to deepen their faith or are searching for an authentic encounter with God. Pb | 370 pgs | THOMAS NELSON

Faitheism

Krish Kandiah The Religion vs. Atheism debate has generated more heat than light, with passionate advocates for both sides caught up in antagonistic claims and counter-claim. Krish asks us to take a more understanding look. When we step away from the arguments, consider the real people on each side, and test our assumptions, we can grow in our own beliefs and understand each other better. In this challenging exploration of the myths about Christianity and Atheism, the evidence shows that the truth on the ground is not what one might expect and the potential for genuine understanding is far greater than the antagonists on either side would have you believe. What if, by believing the best about each other, we could achieve the best for ourselves? What if the truth really can set us free and bring a fresh unity together?

Wasted Prayer

Greg Darley Faith without obedience is dead. Prayer without action is wasted. What would your life look like if you stopped praying about God's Will and just did it instead? How would churches look if they spent as much time serving? Sometimes praying is procrastinating, when you think you're asking that God's Will be done, you're saying no to doing it. In times that need action, prayer can be disobedience in disguise. Uncover the ways we unintentionally use prayer to dodge what God has assigned us. Complete with Scripture that will help get you off your knees, this is the jolt you need to start living like a Christian not just praying like one.

Seven-Mile Miracle

Steven Furtick Looking at the last words of Christ reveals a pattern for our spiritual journey. From time to time we all feel stuck in our relationship with God and frustrated by life's setbacks. Jesus faced what could have been the ultimate defeat on the cross, yet he emerged through his relationship with his heavenly Father, and showed us the way so that we could do the same.

Furtick explores how Jesus' last 7 statements on the cross offer a proven path for spiritual growth. Words of forgiveness, salvation, relationship, abandonment, distress, triumph, reunion. We're called to be followers of Christ, both through his message, and his method.

After the Fire

Alan Everett After the Grenfell fire the local parish church became a focal point of the relief effort and a gathering place for a traumatised community, working closely with charities and multi-faith groups to provide a network of support. In this bold, prophetic challenge, Alan shows that the church's response was possible only because it opened its doors and built relationships with people long ago. Its effectiveness was born out of patient, faithful, unheroic ministry that's too easily underestimated. Through testimony and theological reflection, After the Fire shows how parish ministry can be a living symbol of God's love and a vital sign of hope.

Billy Graham Through My Father's Eyes

Rest in Peace

(7th November 1918 - 21st February 2018)

Franklin Graham Many have written about Billy Graham, the evangelist. This is the first book about Billy Graham, the father, written from the perspective of his son. Graham's conviction to help people find a personal relationship with God through Christ never wavered. Yet Billy pursued his life's work amid a similarly significant calling to be a loving husband and father.

Most knew Billy as America's pastor, Franklin knew him as a dad. This vulnerable book is a look at the impact Billy Graham had around the world and at home. It is a portrait of the man behind that legacy, what it was like growing up in the shadow of his father's life and kept in his father's love, and the foundational lessons his father taught him.

Bible & Study The Bible for Everyone

Tom Wright & John Goldingay Why another translation of the Bible? As Tom Wright observes: 'translating [the Bible] is something that each generation ought to be doing. Just as Jesus taught us to pray for our daily bread, we can never simply live on yesterday's bread, on the interpretations and translations of previous generations.' The Bible for Everyone is the result of a passionate conviction that scripture should be something that everyone can read, understand and enjoy. Two world-renowned Bible scholars have undertaken the task and drawn together, revised and supplemented the translations that appear in their popular '...For Everyone' commentaries, making a rounded, readable and reliable version of the Bible that's accessible to scholars and general readers alike. Includes introductions to each biblical book, maps and a glossary. This is a compelling new rendering of ancient wisdom that can be read like a novel, studied in sections or used for daily devotion.

Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus

Lois Tverberg Lois challenges us to re-examine Jesus' words in the light of their Jewish context to find a richer, deeper understanding of his ministry, compelling us to live differently and become more Christ-like. Modern society, with its individualism and materialism, is very different than the tight-knit, family-orientated setting Jesus lived and taught in. What wisdom can we glean from his Eastern attitude to life? How can knowing Jesus within his context shed light on his teachings today? Journey back in time to the conversations that arose among the rabbis of Jesus' day, and consider how seeing Jesus how the 1st Century disciples did can bring new meaning to our faith with practical insights for following his teachings.

In this revelatory and provocative book, Mike Cosper explores the parallels between our world and the story of Esther. A tale of sex, ego, and revenge, the book of Esther reveals a world not unlike our own. The story of Esther is a brutal saga of people assimilated into a pluralistic society, embracing its standards. Yet when threatened with annihilation, they find the courage to turn to God in humility. A call to spiritual awakening and to faith in an age of malaise and apathy, this book is an invitation to remember the faithfulness of God, knowing that in dark times God may be hidden, but He is never absent.

Mental Health & Wellbeing When Darkness Seems My Closest Friend

Mark Meynell Mental health difficulties affect 1 in 4 of us, and church leaders are not immune. When Mark Meynell spoke in a central London church, more than 1,500 hung on to his every word. What they didn't know was that he was terrified. Fear of shame and exposure is crippling, and it's one of the most devastating elements of depression, although certainly not the only one.

Mark invites us into the darkness of his cave. Relive significant moments of his journey from boarding school, Uganda, Berlin and London. Visit the Psalms, Job and The Pilgrim's Progress.

This isn't a book with neat conclusions and a fair-weather faith. This is a book of gritty reality and raw honesty, but also heartfelt hope that brokenness can somehow contribute to another person's integration and inspire them while they too are clinging on amid darkness and fog.

Christian Life Friend of Sinners

Rich Wilkerson Jr. It's our calling to reach out, seek the lost and save sinners with the scandalous Gospel of Grace. The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. Dive into the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us friends not because of what we've done, but of who he is. He knew people needed to belong and understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly. The Gospel can't be overestimated. When we embrace the truth of why we need Jesus, we walk as he walked with the same conviction and compassion, experiencing the glory of God in our lives and the lives of others.

Embraced

Lysa TerKeurst An embrace is an intimate level of closeness when someone who deeply loves us flings open their arms and pulls us in close. Our hearts were made for this kind of love and security but many of us know more about pain and fear than the unconditional love we were made for. Lysa shares her own struggles and doubts, while pointing to the ultimate embrace of the Gospel.

These 100 devotions, scriptures and 'prayer prompts' help you experience that love daily.

Christine Caine

RRP £10.99 Aslan £7.99

Unexpected Is it possible to have peace in an uncertain world? To not only expect the unexpected but embrace it? We want to have life under control. But God wants us to anticipate the unexpected with a faith rooted in His goodness. He wants us to know that because He is in control, we don't have to be. Bestselling author Christine Caine offers real-life strategies and biblical inspiration to help us move from fear and worry about ourselves to hope and trust in God. As we learn new ways to manage disappointment, strengthen our hearts, and build our faith, we can enjoy a new adventure with God that is more fulfilling than any day spent worrying about what's around the corner. Stepping into our God-given destiny means stepping into the unknown, but we can embrace that calling because God knows it already. We can expect God to do good because He is Good. What other expectation do we need to have?

Tailor Made

Alex Seeley From an early age Alex was told she was an accident, she spent her life carrying the weight of feeling stupid and inadequate. Even things spoken over us by well-meaning people, can cause us to believe lies about ourselves and make us question what our purpose even is. Yet Psalm 139 says God designed us in His image with a unique DNA and amazing characteristics.

We are loved and were created with meaning. Wrong thinking is often brought on by patterns, insecurities, circumstances, unforgiveness, and an inaccurate view of God our Father. This book shows how to replace them with a view of who God says we are. It's time to rediscover a sense of belonging and set out on the path to becoming the original 'you' that God intended.

Insurgence

Frank Viola Why does the passion that extremists give to their false cause exceed the passion that today's Christians give to Jesus? Insurgence is a radical proposal. Namely, that we've lost the explosive, earthshaking Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, living Gospel and exchanged it for religious duty, permissiveness and 'easy believism'. In today's politically charged era, Viola offers a fresh revolutionary look at the gospel of the Kingdom challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus and his Kingdom. The Gospel is a high-octane message and one Christians everywhere should reclaim, launching a spiritual insurgence.

The Bible has an answer: Be like the very image of God. By exploring ten characteristics of who God is - holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise - this book helps us understand who God intends for us to be and the purpose He has created us for. Through Christ, the perfect reflection of the image of God, we will discover how God's own attributes impact how we live, leading to freedom and expectation as we follow His Will and are conformed to (and transformed by) His image.
