Being noticed

Tom Beard | May 31, 2011

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Fighting the Monday Feeling

Martin Cole | May 30, 2011

The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders, gloriously. (Isaiah 24 v 23)

What a glorious prospect: The Lord ruling his restored people. And with such a brightness that the sun and moon blush at how feeble they are in comparison.

Forgiving Mladic?

Carl Laferton | May 27, 2011

Bosnian Serb warlord Ratko Mladic’s arrest yesterday in some ways closes a chapter in the bloodiest episode in post-war Europe. He’s off to the Hague to face justice. And one word we won’t, understandably, hear much is “forgiveness”.

Which prompted me to think of one of the most provocatively-titled books we stock: “Forgiving Hitler”. It’s by a Jewish lady who suffered terribly during the Holocaust, but since discovering Jesus as her Christ found herself able to forgive those who’d wronged her.

Three reasons to grab a copy:

  • It’s a different angle on one of the most well-known periods of history, with (for once) an upbeat ending.
  • It’s great to give away to a non-Christian friend, because it communicates the gospel message in a way that’s rooted in a personal story.
  • For an extremely limited period, it’s only ÂŁ2!

You can buy it here.
