I wish Jesus hadn't said that

Adrian Plass & the Church Weekend
by Adrian Plass

New from the Sacred diary of Adrian Plass.  Adrian has reluctantly agreed to run his church's weekend away, but as ever, you can guarantee things won't go smoothly.
Adrian has been trying to keep a low profile at church but his son Gerald is now an Anglican vicar and the two churches are getting together for a joint weekend away.
From the confusion of arrival when Anne is allocated to the top bunk with a schizophrenic recovery group and Adrian is in a low-ceilinged 'pod' at the top of the tower, to the hugs and tears of departure, this is typical Plass, humorous and heartwarming in equal measure. Adrian has a simple conversation about birdlife that ends with him being accused of harassment, Leonard Thynn and his wife turn up just in time to leave again after falling out with the SatNav lady, and Gerald's wit just keeps getting the better of him.

Mud and the Masterpiece
by John Burke

“Beneath the surface of every broken person, there is a work of art waiting to be revealed.  Why were “sinners” so attracted to Jesus yet repelled by the religious?  They sensed that Jesus was for them, not against them. When broken, sinful people feel repelled by Christians, we must honestly assess whether our hearts reveal the heart of God or subtly reflect the heart of the Pharisees. Through a study of Jesus’ encounters with imperfect people, combined with real-life stories of ordinary people having Christlike impact, this book will inspire you to reveal the Masterpiece in you and those around you.

What Happens after I die?
by Michael Allen Rogers

How often do we hear sermons about death and the afterlife, other than a brief message at a funeral or thanksgiving service?  Not very often.  And yet it is a subject that touches us all, Christian and non-Christian alike.  Here, an American pastor seeks to examine biblically the meaning of death, the destiny of the unbeliever, what happens to the believer at death, and the meaning of heaven.  He also addresses age-old questions such as "Is my child in Heaven?"  "Does Hell last for ever?"  "Are Christians Judged for Rewards? and even "Is there time in Heaven?"  This book  could be a valuable resource to pastors as well as ordinary people seeking answers to the meaning of death.

Multiply - Disciples making disciples
by Francis Chan with Mark Beuving

Multiply is written as a 24-session course in discipling for use in small groups.  It is not so much about techniques as what to teach disciples and so offers material to strengthen the faith of the teacher as well as the taught.  It ranges through material on discipleship, the church, studying the Bible, understanding the Old Testament and understanding the New Testament. 
Each session is accompanied by a 5-minute on-line video.
