Last year Ed Drew offered some helpful reflections on Halloween - we thought it was worth reminding ourselves of them this year, and why not check back tomorrow for an updated video from Ed...
Ed Drew, the children’s worker at Dundonald Church in south-west London, has written the following very helpful piece about how we can respond to Halloween.
Halloween is on the way, on 31st October. In all likelihood, all of us will either have children coming to our doors or have our own children invited to Halloween parties.... continue reading
Christians are people of the new covenant made by Jesus’ work on the cross. But what exactly is a covenant? And how does Christ’s new covenant fulfill all the other covenants that God made with his people in the Old Testament?
This is a thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well written book. It has a fluidity to it that makes it hard to put down! It is a thrilling read as it clearly unpacks the concept and significance of God’s covenantal relationships with his people through the biblical narrative. Above all though this book will warm your heart and encourage you spiritually as it helps you to rejoice in the God of the covenant and leads you to the Lord Jesus.

We've all sat through Bible talks and sermons that meander all over the place going nowhere, or are just plain dull and uninteresting. But, whatever your involvement in your church or ministry, the law of averages suggests that at some time you will be called upon to talk in some way about a biblical topic. That doesn't mean preaching from the front of church necessarily, but just in some group format, in a home study, youth group or wherever. If you are like me, you'd take all the help you can get in putting that talk together.
Well seasoned preacher and youth pastor Tim Hawkins is on our side too. In Messages that Move, Tim provides great help and understanding in getting our listeners engaged with our talks or sermons.

As you saw last week we at The Good Book Company have to move with the times. E-books are more and more the favoured reading medium.
Last week we gave you the opportunity to get our Questions Christians Ask series on offer. Today we are giving you the chance to look at another relatively new series at The Good Book Company - our "For You" series.
This series will take a look at various books of the Bible in the coming months and years, not as a commentary but as an expository guide. That is a resource that is accessible from a theological point of view, to lay Christians and seekers alike. So far there's Galatians For You and Judges for You by Timothy Keller.
As e-books, these resources normally retail at $12.99 and $9.99, but we are offering them to you at just $1.99 until midnight on Thursday 10th October. Have a look HERE for more information. Use the code fys1013 at the checkout.
The Heart of Singleness is a book for women about singleness—but it’s not like all the others in that category! Andrea Trevenna takes readers to their own hearts, to their own feelings and hopes and dreams—and then shows how those hopes and dreams are truly satisfied. Here’s an extract from chapter 3, where Andrea discusses what is often going on when we follow our hearts.
Follow your heart?
What’s wrong with following your heart? Nothing—if our hearts always get it right. But they don’t. In fact, our hearts deceive us a lot of the time. “The heart is deceitful above all things” (Jeremiah 17 v 9). We can probably see that in our own past, in decisions we’ve made and then regretted. We can probably see that in others, in directions they take that we wish they wouldn’t. It’s harder to see it in our own heart at the moment that it’s happening. But it does happen. Our hearts tell us to run from the person our own hearts most desire—Jesus. That’s what it means to be self-deceived.... continue reading
Do you know any teenage girls? You only have to walk through any town on a Saturday night to know some of the pressures these girls face. Or flick through their magazines, listen to their music, check out their Facebook pages… Every day they are bombarded with the world's messages – the right makeup, clothes, boyfriend, music, parties. The desire to be special; but the need to fit in.
It's tough being a teenager, and potentially even more so if you're a Christian. What does it mean to live for Christ in a world that ignores him? How can a girl be godly, and what does that look like anyway? Where are the role models to help them see what a "real Woman" – a woman of God – looks like?
Our new resource, Real Women, written by Sarah Bradley, is designed to help teenage girls who are caught up in this situation. It's a great tool to help Christian women meet up with teenage girls to explore together what living as a woman of God looks like.... continue reading
