God’s Green Book- Seven Bible Studies about the Environmentby Charlotte Sleigh & Bryony Webb These really are Bible studies with a difference and that difference is not just the topic of the environment and 'green issues' but for me it's the fact that this is a set of studies with a lot of facts and figures and practical activities mixed in with the Bible studies themselves. Yes the studies all revolve around the environment and green issues but they also revolve around the issue of ethics, justice and responsibility and that makes these challenging and exciting studies to undertake. The ‘taking it further’ sections within each study offer a practical activity, a creative reflection, more facts and figures and lastly more Bible study to undertake. It is challenging and yet easy to read and really would be an excellent study to do in small groups and by the whole church community. Review by Melanie Carroll (19/04/10) |

Kaleidoscopeby Patsy Clairmont This book takes as it’s starting point the book of proverbs and is aimed at women, however let me say this is a great small group resource for any group not just for women. So ok I admit the devotional chat styled main parts of each chapter/section are female centric stories, however with a little tweaking most of them can work for a mixed audience because the sentiments are almost universal, but what makes the book for me are not really the meat of the chapters, but rather the afters, that is to say the sections subtitled Bits & pieces, which are a series of questions that yes tie in with the chapters story but nonetheless are great questions for discussion starters or for more personal consideration. This with the themed scripture verses in the ‘hold onto the light’ section makes this an interesting and useful book to have around. I do have to admit though that I would have preferred the book had it not been aimed at the female market but rather just aimed at all – but then that’s because I don’t entirely agree with the men/woman divide becoming more prevalent. Wisdom is universal – that’s what this book is all about so we shouldn’t have to come at it from a make/female way, did we forget somewhere along the line that in Him is no male or female? Still this aside it’s a good book and very easy to read, though worth taking a little time with. Review by Melanie Carroll (17/04/10) |

Discipleship Explored: Universal Edition- Leaders guideby various contributors Designed as a follow on to the excellent Christianity Explored course, the Good Book Company (GBC) has produced what appears to be another excellent stable-mate that will be well received by any church that uses it. Meticulously crafted, and allegedly well bench tested, the Discipleship Explored Leader’s Guide provides excellent and very relevant advice on how to run the 8 week course. Like much of the material from the GBC this guide is both slick and very usable, backed up by an excellent supporting website www.discpleshipexplored.org and teaching material including a DVD. Discipleship Explored is based around a study on the Epistle to the Philippians that is very suitable for new Christians but it could also be used by other home study groups. Loaded with additional material with well thought out explanations of Bible words and well written questions this course will become a favourite among churches across the spectrum of denominations. If your church is looking to make good disciples here is a resource that will support your aspirations very effectively. Review by Tim Leffler (01/02/10) |

New World, Old Faith- A Course in Five PartsProduced by Simon Stanley and John Young Also available, an audio tape £6.99, CD £8.99, transcript of the words spoken on the CD/tape, £2.99 and a ‘taster pack’ with CD for £14.50 I have had this course waiting for review for some time. In some ways I regret not having listened to the CD of the course before, in other respects I am grateful that I have listened in a time of quiet following Christmas, which has given me a chance to really absorb what the different contributors are saying. Albeit they were speaking some time ago, the impact of their words is just as relevant today as in 2002 when the CD was recorded. It was first published as the Lent course for 2003 and we do not seem to have moved very far from that position. Carefully constructed as a course for groups, with all the help and guidance needed to fulfil that aim, the title New World, Old Faith has enabled the producers Simon Stanley and John Young to ask the contributors to address many subjects of current concern. The sessions range from Brave New World to Environment and Ethics: Church and Family in Crises: One World, Many Faiths and finally Spirituality and Superstition. There is much here to listen to and learn from, but also much food for discussion and prayer within a group. Review by Mary Bartholomew (09/01/10) |

Foundations For The Faith- A Step-by-step Guide to the Gospel of Johnby Roger Ellsworth This small-groups’ study guide to John is split into fifty-two sections, so that it can be completed within a year. Each in-depth exploration of an incident or a time of teaching is followed by questions and some sort of relevant quiz, the answers to both being found on the publishers’ website. The author says that he has always been reluctant to attempt a book on this much-loved part of the Bible but, since it was originally written at a time when false teachings were diluting and perverting the true Gospel, he feels it is particularly appropriate for today. I learned a lot and found his knowledgeable exposition and application easy to follow and understand – a useful tool in keeping grounded in the truth. Review by Diane Morrison (20/12/09) |
