For groups young, old and anywhere in between, it comprises twelve sessions helping people to: explore who God is and what Christians believe God is like; dive into the life and claims of Jesus; consider the role and place of the Holy Spirit; and discover how God cares for us all and how faith impacts everyday life. It’s an ideal way to introduce people to the basics of Christian faith but also to ground believers (whether just out of the starting blocks or seasoned sages) in the truths of the gospel. It works well for baptism preparation, a family devotional time or any intergenerational group. Messy Basics complements the session material in Get Messy!

The material also covers God’s best ways of living, demonstrated through Jesus’ life; a challenge to follow Jesus and trust God with a new direction; and exploring following and belonging to Jesus through baptism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Other than the key Christian festivals Christmas, Easter and Pentecost, the sessions are standalone and can be done in any order. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMessy Churches who wish to dig deeper into discipleship between Messy Church gatherings might like to try a complementary resource, Messy Basics, a discipleship course exploring what Christians believe through faith-based conversations in all-age groups.

It falls in line with the monastic rhythm of praying at regular intervals of the day but draws on the Celtic tradition. It can be used individually or in a group situation. There are prayers for morning, midday, evening and night, seven days a week. Morning and Evening prayer provide a choice of four psalms and readings from the Old and New Testaments. Midday and night prayer have shorter scripture readings printed in the text. Each day has its own theme. Those of us wishing to engage in worship with the Celtic saints, though not indifferent to contemporary issues, will find this to be a valuable resource. Thank you to the Community of Aidan and Hilda for providing us with a book of such rich blessings, and for sharing a rhythm of prayer which has become special for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Betty Taylor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview by Richard Frost\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many different ways to pray.

There are prayers for morning, midday, evening and night, seven days a week. Morning and Evening prayer provide a choice of four psalms and readings from the Old and New Testaments. Midday and night prayer have shorter scripture readings printed in the text. Each day has its own theme. Those of us wishing to engage in worship with the Celtic saints, though not indifferent to contemporary issues, will find this to be a valuable resource.

But I was pleasantly surprised by this book, which is bright, interesting and full of great examples. Having made some good but many poor decisions in life, it was good to discover that the authors had too. They do not propose a canned methodology, but commend a process based on data, analytical skill, and discernment that comes from God. Chapters on developing our spiritual senses and discernment are particularly strong. The book considers decision-making in families and in church councils. Will I make only good decisions from here on? Sadly, no! But I will be more aware of the resources available to me as a person of faith! The book is written with imagination and should be read cover-to-cover, but you could dip into it and still benefit.

They start by asking you to learn from your own history, by recalling your past decisions and charting them on a timeline, good and bad. Reflecting on them will teach you your own tendencies under pressure. The authors remind you that good decisions, even hard ones with difficult consequences, will always give you a sense of peace, while the less good ones will tend to prey on your mind and feel somehow unresolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing examples from the Bible and from their own careers, they set out a process for learning how to discern God’s voice in the noise. It requires patience to develop what they liken to ‘good taste’, and the hallmark of a bad decision will often be that it was rushed. But starting to make every decision with God, no matter how small, trains you in the way. This habit holds you in relationship and teaches you to listen. The accumulation of all your decisions hones in you the development of a settled conscience, which be- comes over time an ever more reliable guide as you learn to discern the path God wants you to take. And if you are ever really stuck? They remind you to cry to the Lord, and sleep on it. Joy will come in the morning, and you will always feel peaceful when you have got it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDr Eve Poole writes on theology, economics, and leadership.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-04-21T20:20:17+01:00","created_at":"2023-04-21T20:20:17+01:00","vendor":"Iain Dunbar \u0026 Peter Wilkinson","type":"Paperback","tags":["Discipleship","Leadership"],"price":1299,"price_min":1299,"price_max":1299,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42327488331967,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800392182","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Good Call: Learning to make decisions with God","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1299,"weight":268,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800392182","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/GoodCall.jpg?v=1682104819"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/GoodCall.jpg?v=1682104819","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":26972291596479,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":2339,"width":1535,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/GoodCall.jpg?v=1682104819"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":2339,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/GoodCall.jpg?v=1682104819","width":1535}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHave you ever experienced conflict between what your head and your heart were telling you to do?

But I was pleasantly surprised by this book, which is bright, interesting and full of great examples. Having made some good but many poor decisions in life, it was good to discover that the authors had too. They do not propose a canned methodology, but commend a process based on data, analytical skill, and discernment that comes from God. Chapters on developing our spiritual senses and discernment are particularly strong. The book considers decision-making in families and in church councils. Will I make only good decisions from here on? Sadly, no! But I will be more aware of the resources available to me as a person of faith! The book is written with imagination and should be read cover-to-cover, but you could dip into it and still benefit.

They start by asking you to learn from your own history, by recalling your past decisions and charting them on a timeline, good and bad. Reflecting on them will teach you your own tendencies under pressure. The authors remind you that good decisions, even hard ones with difficult consequences, will always give you a sense of peace, while the less good ones will tend to prey on your mind and feel somehow unresolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing examples from the Bible and from their own careers, they set out a process for learning how to discern God’s voice in the noise. It requires patience to develop what they liken to ‘good taste’, and the hallmark of a bad decision will often be that it was rushed. But starting to make every decision with God, no matter how small, trains you in the way. This habit holds you in relationship and teaches you to listen. The accumulation of all your decisions hones in you the development of a settled conscience, which be- comes over time an ever more reliable guide as you learn to discern the path God wants you to take. And if you are ever really stuck? They remind you to cry to the Lord, and sleep on it. Joy will come in the morning, and you will always feel peaceful when you have got it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDr Eve Poole writes on theology, economics, and leadership.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}

Reviewed by Pieter Lalleman.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover of this book states: ‘Quite how people made the Bible sound so dull is a mystery. This is the book that proves it’s anything but.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book does live up to this claim: Using only a few pages per book of the Bible, Kitchen presents the contents of each of the 66 books. His style is fresh and attractive. He nearly always brings out the essence of the biblical book, paying little attention to questions of authorship and date. He seldom refers to chapter and verse numbers, allowing the text to be read continuously, and he adds helpful contemporary applications. The tone of the summaries is light-hearted and pleasantly positive, even for the less ‘attractive’ parts of the Bible, but each sentence is full of information so one has to read attentively. Paragraphs have six lines or less, but the lines are long due to the square shape of the book (7 by 7 inch).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy minor quibbles include the chapter on Revelation: it’s too short and fails to mention Jesus as Lord of history. Hebrews also deserves better. The chapter on the Psalms merely offers samples, nothing on types of Psalms. Like all quotations in the book, these are probably in Kitchen’s own translation, although this is never stated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI could mention some more quibbles, but my overall verdict is that this is a very useful book for many readers of the Bible, regardless of age and background. Let me finish with a random sample from Amos: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt's at about this time that the leaders decide they want a more positive message. Amos is told to make money in his own country and leave them alone. ‘I don’t do this for cash,’ he replies. ‘I actually run a sheep business… plus I’ve got a few fig trees. I do this because I have to – for God. Getting rid of me doesn’t get rid of the bad news.’\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis short piece brings out the strengths of the book: sparkling language and a good grasp of the Bible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Revd Dr Pieter J.

Kitchen has done a unique job in bringing the Bible to life in a fresh way, engaging our attention through his fun-filled approach. It is easy to read yet packed with good news in a nutshell, each book ending with a summary written in a challenging way. It will appeal to young and old, whether knowledgeable or engaging with the Bible for the first time. The author has made the whole Bible accessible, alive and full of insight as we weave through 66 snapshots – each book in turn, all given the importance they deserve. I recommend this wonderful book to congregations generally, but more specifically to young families who attend ‘Fresh Expressions’ of church. Many may have come recently into the Christian family and the Bible can be a daunting volume to take on board. Bible in Ten will change that by giving a beautiful glimpse into scripture and providing the desire to dig deeper. This book is an exciting innovation!

Review by Donald Kerr\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bible is still recognised as the best selling book of all time, with over 4 billion copies produced worldwide. Nevertheless, it can be more than a little daunting even for those who are motivated to delve into it. The variety of translations and paraphrases does help, of course, but it still feels like a big book. Furthermore, the different life situations and varied types of literature can easily confuse. If only there was a simple way in which we could appreciate the overall message of each book which would then whet our appetite to go back and dig deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the challenge which Dave Kitchen has taken up in \u003cem\u003eBible in Ten\u003c\/em\u003e, subtitled ‘Any book of the Bible cracked in ten minutes or less.’ The ‘ten’ refers to the 10 minutes maximum which the reader spends in reading the overview of each book. However, this is much more than an introductory textbook. Each chapter starts with a short paragraph designed to take us into the issues which the biblical book in question raises and finishes with some thoughts or reflections to help us apply the book’s message to ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDave Kitchen is by profession a teacher (now retired) but is also a broadcaster, poet and Methodist local preacher. He is thus an excellent communicator. His style is at once racy, clear and compassionate. He has lived within the biblical text so deeply that he is able to express its heart in a manner both simple and profound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho might benefit from this book? Those starting out on the Christian pathway who want to find a way into scripture and those who have journeyed for many years but would still value an overview of those parts of the Bible which they have tended to skip over. Teachers and preachers will find fresh inspiration here and Bible study groups will find plenty of material to aid their learning and discussion. To quote Abby Guinness, the head of Spring Harvest: ‘Whatever your biblical starting point there is something of value to you. Dave Kitchen has put in the hard miles of study to give us a shortcut to understanding the big picture.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-10-10T14:14:56+01:00","created_at":"2022-10-10T14:14:55+01:00","vendor":"David Kitchen","type":"Paperback","tags":["Biblical engagement","Church life","Discipleship","For churches","For individuals"],"price":1299,"price_min":1299,"price_max":1299,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41997407256767,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800391512","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":33430415671487,"product_id":7367016087743,"position":1,"created_at":"2022-10-10T14:14:55+01:00","updated_at":"2022-10-10T14:14:57+01:00","alt":null,"width":2102,"height":2102,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BibleinTen.jpg?v=1665407697","variant_ids":[41997407256767]},"available":true,"name":"Bible in Ten: Any book of the Bible cracked in ten minutes or less - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":1299,"weight":385,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800391512","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":26020738334911,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2102,"width":2102,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BibleinTen.jpg?v=1665407697"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BibleinTen.jpg?v=1665407697"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BibleinTen.jpg?v=1665407697","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":26020738334911,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2102,"width":2102,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BibleinTen.jpg?v=1665407697"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2102,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BibleinTen.jpg?v=1665407697","width":2102}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor anyone who wants to crack open the Bible, poet, broadcaster and teacher Dave Kitchen provides a lively introduction to every single book in ten minutes or less.

This is the book that proves it’s anything but.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book does live up to this claim: Using only a few pages per book of the Bible, Kitchen presents the contents of each of the 66 books. His style is fresh and attractive. He nearly always brings out the essence of the biblical book, paying little attention to questions of authorship and date. He seldom refers to chapter and verse numbers, allowing the text to be read continuously, and he adds helpful contemporary applications. The tone of the summaries is light-hearted and pleasantly positive, even for the less ‘attractive’ parts of the Bible, but each sentence is full of information so one has to read attentively. Paragraphs have six lines or less, but the lines are long due to the square shape of the book (7 by 7 inch).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy minor quibbles include the chapter on Revelation: it’s too short and fails to mention Jesus as Lord of history. Hebrews also deserves better. The chapter on the Psalms merely offers samples, nothing on types of Psalms. Like all quotations in the book, these are probably in Kitchen’s own translation, although this is never stated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI could mention some more quibbles, but my overall verdict is that this is a very useful book for many readers of the Bible, regardless of age and background.

Kitchen has done a unique job in bringing the Bible to life in a fresh way, engaging our attention through his fun-filled approach. It is easy to read yet packed with good news in a nutshell, each book ending with a summary written in a challenging way. It will appeal to young and old, whether knowledgeable or engaging with the Bible for the first time. The author has made the whole Bible accessible, alive and full of insight as we weave through 66 snapshots – each book in turn, all given the importance they deserve. I recommend this wonderful book to congregations generally, but more specifically to young families who attend ‘Fresh Expressions’ of church. Many may have come recently into the Christian family and the Bible can be a daunting volume to take on board. Bible in Ten will change that by giving a beautiful glimpse into scripture and providing the desire to dig deeper. This book is an exciting innovation!

Nevertheless, it can be more than a little daunting even for those who are motivated to delve into it. The variety of translations and paraphrases does help, of course, but it still feels like a big book. Furthermore, the different life situations and varied types of literature can easily confuse. If only there was a simple way in which we could appreciate the overall message of each book which would then whet our appetite to go back and dig deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the challenge which Dave Kitchen has taken up in \u003cem\u003eBible in Ten\u003c\/em\u003e, subtitled ‘Any book of the Bible cracked in ten minutes or less.’ The ‘ten’ refers to the 10 minutes maximum which the reader spends in reading the overview of each book. However, this is much more than an introductory textbook. Each chapter starts with a short paragraph designed to take us into the issues which the biblical book in question raises and finishes with some thoughts or reflections to help us apply the book’s message to ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDave Kitchen is by profession a teacher (now retired) but is also a broadcaster, poet and Methodist local preacher. He is thus an excellent communicator. His style is at once racy, clear and compassionate. He has lived within the biblical text so deeply that he is able to express its heart in a manner both simple and profound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho might benefit from this book? Those starting out on the Christian pathway who want to find a way into scripture and those who have journeyed for many years but would still value an overview of those parts of the Bible which they have tended to skip over. Teachers and preachers will find fresh inspiration here and Bible study groups will find plenty of material to aid their learning and discussion.

Amy Scott Robinson was inspired to write this book because she felt that abstract nouns, such as sin and grace, although in frequent use, might be misunderstood – or given a different meaning - by many people. The book is based on the idea that the use of images helps this understanding. These images vary from a few words, to extended metaphors, to whole stories – but all help us to understand Christian concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into weekly sections, covering sin and repentance, forgiveness, atonement, restoration, reconciliation and ends with Holy Week.

The commentary which Amy Scott Robinson gives each day is invariably pertinent and engaging and involves personal and literary examples, as well as providing a thoughtful interpretation of the passage.

Initially, these images explore the traditional themes of Lent: sin, repentance and forgiveness.

Thus, for me, the focus on sin during the first half has a particular effect and it is from Week 4 onwards that readers are given a flood of hope as all the images combine to provide ones of grace.

As a Lent book I recommend this for personal or for group use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Margaret Tinsley\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed by Richard Frost, author of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/products\/life-with-st-benedict-the-rule-re-imagined-for-everyday-living\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLife with St Benedict\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving previously reviewed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/products\/image-of-the-invisible-daily-bible-readings-from-advent-to-epiphany?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=d107cbc7e\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eImage of the Invisible\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, Amy Scott-Robinson’s book for Advent through to Epiphany, I was looking forward to this offering for Lent, Holy Week and Easter. And I was not disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with that previous book, she uses metaphors, stories and biblical examples to open up a wide range of themes. Initially, these images explore the traditional themes of Lent: sin, repentance and forgiveness. Dipping briefly and helpfully in the theological arguments about atonement, the author then continues with images of restoration and reconciliation. A final section for Holy Week finds us encountering a donkey, turning over tables and washing feet before standing by the tomb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the book, we meet characters as diverse as David and Jonah, Jesus Barabbas and Joseph of Arimathea. Each aspect, each chapter, is explored and explained, using helpful contemporary stories and images alongside the biblical ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this reviewer, reading a book of daily reflections in a shorter timescale inevitably dilutes the full benefit of it (not least also that I read it during Advent!). Thus, for me, the focus on sin during the first half has a particular effect and it is from Week 4 onwards that readers are given a flood of hope as all the images combine to provide ones of grace. Grace which is sufficient for each day and for each one of us, in all times and seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Frost is the author of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/products\/life-with-st-benedict-the-rule-re-imagined-for-everyday-living\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLife with St Benedict\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and writes a blog at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/workrestpray.com\/\"\u003eworkrestpray.com\u003c\/a\u003e.
