You Matter More Than You Think

- What a Woman Needs to Know About the Difference She Makes

by Leslie Parrott


This book is dedicated to every woman who isn’t willing to settle for anything less than making a difference. That said, it’s full of women who have felt inadequate, bogged down by lack of confidence or circumstances, but their stories tell of finding ways to shore up their faith and their confidence, recognize their innate value, take a risk and reach out in love to their family, friends or community. Dr Parrott’s writing is a bit like chocolate. A little bit does your inner-woman good. But read too much in one go and you might sink under her slightly oversweet emotional inner journey. For that reason this book took me a long time to read but her encouragement is useful and genuine.

Your Wedding in the Anglican Church – Common Worship Edition



by Stuart Thomas


A new edition of an old favourite. Addressed directly to a young couple who are planning to get married in church, it talks about marriage as a sharing, suggests subjects to be discussed before marriage, talks about preparation before the wedding day, and explains the service itself. A helpful section discusses the situation if one or both partners are divorced, and the living together as man and wife is not forgotten. There is a list of the most asked questions with their answers, and the final page has a personal story of a wedding service and a service of dedication, both a three way relationship, God and the Bride and Groom. A beautifully illustrated booklet offering practical help.
