| 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 .

| Drama Out of a Crisis - Contemporary reflections on Advent by Tony Bower Every now and then, an unpretentious, straight forward practical resource comes along. This book offers strikingly simply stories, monologues, sketches and poems which can be used during advent services. What’s more, with a little creativity on the user’s part (i.e. involving different ages to read, act or even props & music) then advent starts to take on a fresh and clear feel. It’s not astounding stuff here, but it’s useable straight away and with advent normally a hectic time of the year the preparation time can be short. There are 15 sets of reflections and if you’re looking to ‘freshen-up’ a most familiar story then this is for you. Review by Andrew Elliott (07/05/03) |

| 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) |

| Special Services for Advent and Christmas by Susan Hardwick At such a special time of the year, it is important to find a refreshing way to present Advent and Christmas to a congregation. Whilst this book doesn’t offer anything surprising, it does offer structured outlines for services for ‘all age’, teenagers, children, and even a Christingle service. A fair amount of preparation is needed by anyone attempting to use these resources, but I would recommend the effort. So often at this time of the year services are too familiar and result in being uninspiring and sometimes, dare I say it, dull! But here is a resource which can help offer different ways at ‘getting the message’ out – without compromising the subtext of Advent and Christmas. Review by Andrew Elliott (07/05/03) |

| 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) |
