Rhythms of Grace – Finding intimacy with God in a busy life
To be reprinted by BRF in 2012
Do you obey God purely because you ought to, or because you want to? Sometimes we can be so busy trying to do things for God that we forget to simply be with him…
In this age of busyness and activism we desperately need to hear the Spirit’s call to a more reflective approach to life This book is written especially for the evangelical and charismatic who is ready to explore the riches of the contemplative stream of the Christian faith – before they wear out or burn out.
Get away from drivenness; get into the rhythms of grace-filled living.
“My prayer as this little gem goes to print is that, through its pages and by the grace of God, readers will find themselves enriched and enlightened, and that they will be nourished as they feast from the banquet spread before them.’ Joyce Huggett
Mentoring for Spiritual Growth
Sharing the journey of faith
BRF 2008 £7.99 Available from www.brfonline.org.uk
This book is an introduction to spiritual mentoring for those who are exploring this aspect of discipleship or embarking on training for ministry as a mentor within their church. Taking the theme of the Christian life as a journey, it explores both the purpose and the process – what mentoring means, the benefits to all involved, and how to explore the call to become a mentor. It provides useful ‘road maps’ by which we can navigate our way through the Christian life, and explores some of the issues that commonly arise in the mentoring context.
‘Whether mentoring is intensive or occasional, there is much in this book to guide and stimulate the development of the relationship.’ Rob Frost
Working from a place of rest
Jesus and the key to sustaining ministry
BRF 2010 £7.99 Available from www.brfonline.org.uk
Written with those in Christian ministry in mind, and especially those who live and work overseas, this book shows how we can operate from a place of rest – physical, emotional and spiritual. It is based on John 4 and the insight that everything that happens in the chapter (the conversion of the Samaritan woman and the mini-revival at Sychar), happens because Jesus was doing nothing – sitting by the well and having a breather. By looking at the example of Jesus, and how he lived and worked, we too can operate in the relaxed way that indicates we are allowing God to work in us and through us.
How liberating it is to realise that Jesus rested, and said ‘no’ to demands, and allowed needs to go unmet. This book can help us discern what God wants us to say ‘yes’ to, and when to say no; and learn to build margin into our lives so that we work from a place of rest. How are you? Busy? If so, and especially if you do not have time to read books, then this is the book for you. Debbie Hawker, InterHealth
