| Celebrating Sundays - Ten Great Reasons to Enjoy God’s Priceless Gift of the Lord’s Day by Jonathan Holdt Jonathan Holdt takes a traditional approach to the issue of keeping Sunday Special. He highlights the danger of Sunday becoming a day like any other day. He considers the rhythm of the week, which has been established by God. On the seventh day he rested. Jonathan gives 10 reasons why the Lords Day should be kept special. The 10 reasons highlight the need for man to follow God s plan and to rest on the seventh day. There is a religious and moral requirement to set aside one day a week for physical rest, worshiping and honouring God. In an era where Christian values seem to be steadily eroding this can become an act of witness to non-Christians, our friends, our family and our children: also as an encouragement to other Christians. Jonathan concludes by looking at the difference in the way Christians should look at Sunday. Not by asking in a legalistic way, ‘What can’t I do on Sunday?’ But ‘What can I do on Sunday?’ This booklet is an interesting companion to Dan Walkers Sport on Sunday .

| Simon Peter: Challenging Times - Pocket Bible People by Helen Clark This book would be really useful in a Youth Group setting. It gives young people a good grounding in the character of Simon Peter both the good and the bad. This shows our young people God’s love and that He is willing to forgive us all. The book is also excellent at explaining simply the Trinity and the ascension. I feel young people would benefit greatly from this book and its companion book, Simon Peter: The Training Years. There are also some anecdotal stories which the youngsters might find helpful Review by Barbara Stoneham (19/10/09) |

| Simon Peter: The Training Years - Pocket Bible People by Helen Clark This book is aimed at young teenagers. It covers Simon Peter’s early stages as a disciple of Jesus: his qualities both good and bad, his impulsiveness and his loyalty. It has sections the young people can study and answer questions and some anecdotal stories from the writers to explain some of the points of the book. It would be a useful guide for a study with a young Christian or young people with a growing interest in Christianity. Review by Barbara Stoneham (29/08/09) |

| Sport & Sundays - Christian BBC Presenter Dan Walker Tells His Story by Jonathan Holt As a Christian it is very easy to appear to be almost legalistic over the issue of keeping Sunday special. In this refreshing approach to the issue Dan Walker starts by telling his own story and also gives clear biblical reasons why we should not work or play sport on a Sunday. At University Dan already a Christian refused to play on a Sunday and this gave him a great opportunity to debate the reasons with his team mates and to witness to them. This encouraged him to read and re-read the scriptures on this issue. Dan gives a good overview and numerous biblical references. Dan also looks at the personal cost to him. As a sports commentator Dan after a promising start was unable to get a job as he would not work on a Sunday. He quotes one interviewer who said on the issue of not working on a Sunday, ‘you will not get anywhere with an attitude like that’. But Dan placed his trust in the Lord and is now working for the BBC on radio and T.V. He still holds true to his faith and does not work on a Sunday. Review by Bob Stoneham (29/08/09) |

| Thinking About God: Does God Exist? Can We Experience God? with CD-Rom included - Truth-Seekers series by Elicia Lewis Thinking About God is a title in the Truth-Seekers series published by RMEP and intended for secondary school use at Key Stage 3. The whole series is intended as a teacher’s resource for developing thinking skills on issues of truth in religion and philosophy. This book, as do the other two, offers clear notes on teaching and learning activities; gives background information on the religious and philosophical ideas encountered; presents assessment examples; gives photocopy resources at A5 size and provides a CD-Rom containing all the activity sheets for printing out at A4 size. The activities are differentiated meaning that the material can be used at varying levels and stages. Each of the schemes of work lays out the teaching and learning objectives and gives detailed lesson plans. Any teacher of RE would be very happy to have this book (and its sister texts) in their department. Other titles in the Truth-Seekers series are Thinking About God’s Nature and Thinking about Truth, both available Spring 2009. Editor Review by Sue Cooper (31/07/09) |

| Bald Statements - Exploring Loss, Grief and Change by Peter Fishpool This teaching and learning pack explores a series of eight sculptures made by Jean Parker which deal with personal loss and the grief process. The material provides an insight into why life is not always fair or easy and offers a pathway to some level of acceptance and reconciliation. In the accompanying CD-Rom there is all the materials a facilitator or teacher might require including a 25 minute video of Jean who clearly sets the art works in the context of her personal experience; a digital sequence of the eight sculptures; documents presenting quotations from Jean about each sculpture and a variety of stories from different religious traditions and ethical views. There is also a pack of eight large format picture cards, post card sized photos of each sculpture and a facilitator or teacher’s book. This exceptionally well presented pack would be of great use to anyone who is involved with grief or bereavement counselling, or who teachers RE, PSHE or Creative Arts at secondary school level.
