A Knock at the Door: forty miscellaneous mediations By Colin Evans
Colin Evans expresses in the foreword to A Knock at the Door, the wish that thoughts and insights gathered over many years and imparted in sermons, broadcasts and journals might be shared with a wider audience. The form is that of the devotional essay and their objective the communication of the Christian faith in ways which may introduce new ideas to readers and may even provide ideas and illustrations for preachers, teachers, and public speakers. |

A wealth of material from across the world exploring the subject of bereavement in its widest sense, including loss of employment, marriage break-up, the dissolution of a partnership, bullying, illness and shattered lives. There is material for people living with Alzheimer's Disease, and multiple Sclerosis and physical impairments, for those who experience the death of a child or the tragedy of death or injury from road accidents.

Credo By Edmund Banyard
Edmund Banyard has explored what it means to be able to say "I believe!" He has not produced a systematic statement or a creed, but has used a variety of ways - prayers and fables, a verse here and snatches of dialogue there, to help all readers to be able to say more surely "Yes - I believe!" |

Daughters of Dissent Elaine Kaye, Janet Lees and Kirsty Thorpe with contributions from Susan Durber, John Humphreys, Marjorie Lewis and David Thompson
A favourite story the United Reformed Church likes to tell about itself is as a pioneer of the ministry of women, through its roots in the Congregational, Presbyterian and Churches of Christ traditions. Daughters of Dissent, the product of almost a decade of research into this story, offers a deconstruction and re-telling of it, using first hand accounts and analysis of written material. It outlines the contribution of the nineteenth century women whose work preceded the battle for ordination, and describes the ministry of women in the United Reformed Church now, both lay and ordained. The Daughters of Dissent project reminds the Church of the challenge to become more gender inclusive and suggest some ways this can come about. |

Shaping up: re-forming reformed worship by Ernest Marvin
'The author of this admirable book... [which is] a worthy successor to Maxwell's 'Concerning Worship' ...but whose style is quite different: informal, colloquial, [and] enlivened by wonderful stories... balances theological insight with practical wisdom, passionate conviction with an affirmation of openness and flexibility, and doesn't hesitate to draw attention to 'irritants' as well as to serious deviations of principle from sound liturgical norms.' From the Foreword by the Revd Professor B. A. Gerrish

Table Talk Looking at the Communion Table from the outside and the inside By Donald Hilton
Arising from the anxiety that the Church has domesticated the Communion Service and imprisoned it within its own walls, this book suggests that there are resources for interpreting the service outside the usual life of the Church which, if called upon, may help to liberate it. The book seeks to stimulate discussion and also to reflect on two issues affecting many churches, namely presidency at the table and the place of children in the service. |

Take, Bless, Break, Give by Vaughan Jones
Drawing from the well of ecumenical Eucharistic traditions, these prayers have been written within a diverse, inner-city congregation. They aim to speak the language of today's world whilst remaining rooted in the centuries of faith. They are a very helpful resource to share with ministers wanting to develop liturgy within their own congregations. They provide both variety and continuity between the seasons and enable the high points of the Christian year to be properly celebrated. They grace the table fellowship of believers with dignity, whilst giving a real sense of celebration. |

Talking Death, Sex and Jesus By Mike Hensman

Naming God is an original and rich resource for discovering anew an inclusive, welcoming God.
In prayers, poems and hymns from Jan Berry, the image of the Divine bursts out from a narrow one-dimensional view into an inclusive arena where women’s and men’s voices offer their prayer and praise to a creating, loving, justice-seeking God.
