Recommendations & Reviews FINDING REST When the Work is Never Done. by Patrick Klingaman Your review welcome. From the dustcover; If you are wondering if you have any time in your busy schedule to read about rest, it's probably a clue you need this book! Our culture moves at such a breathless pace that, for many, the mere thought of rest is a pipe dream. People everywhere seem to be doing more and more, yet falling further and further behind. Author Patrick Klingaman helps you evluate where you are on the "work/rest" spectrum and where you want to be. He explores such topics as: Cafe Theology by Michael Lloyd Your review welcome. From the dustcover; In Cafe Theology, Mike invites us to grab a cappuccino and travel with him on a mind-stretching journey from Creation to New-Creation, offering a rich and human view of Life and Life-Giver. This is a unique journey because Mike has an inimitable gift for mixing insightful theology with unflinching honesty and a fantastic sense of humour, often bordering on a darkish shade of grey. Whether we've been on the Christian journey our whole life, we're just starting out or haven't even bought a ticket, this extrodinary book is applicable to our ordinary lives, longings, and in Mike's words'our feeble and frustrated fumblings after an understanding of who we are and what we are for.'

Reflections from the Scorched Earth by Ed Walker Your review welcome. From the dustcover; As the longest serving overseas member of Tearfund's Disaster Management Team, Ed, despite his youth has served in five wae zones and a deough-striken area. This is an account of his reflections and reactions as he searches for the God of hope anidst enormous suffering and deep despair. It tells poignant, sad but also hopeful stories, mingling diary entries with reflections and arresting narrative. Despite the horrors he faces, again and again Ed is able to discern "the glimmering shadow of God at work admidst the madness." The War Torn by Nick Solly Megoran. Your review welcome. From the dustcover; Nick combines an acute political knowledge with a rich appreciation of the Bible and true stories of hope to demonstrate how Christians can live courageously through the war on terror. Airports are in chaos as a terror plot is uncovered. Suicide bombers bring cities to a standstill. The rules of war are changing. Across the globe, terror strategies strike cold fear into the hearts of ordinary citizens, as innocent people become legitimate targets for bloodshed. For many the 'war on terror' throws up troubling questions: Daily Bible Reading Notes
There are a wealth of Daily Bible Study Notes written to help with your quiet time each day.
Many of us aim to have a daily time which we set aside to read the bible and talk to God, all too easily this gets pushed aside. Once we miss a day or two it's harder to restart because we feel guilty...
I think it is important to move on from that, if you miss time with God, say sorry and start again - don't let it get in the way.
