Review by Hannah Gray, June 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a straight-talking, down-to-earth book written by a married couple and their teenage son. Debbie and David Hawker are psychologists who work with mission organisations and their son, Jamie, is a teenage climate activist. The book has two subtitles ‘Applying the Bible in a climate emergency’ and ‘A resource for families and churches’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter profiles a different Christian charity working to alleviate the effects of climate change amongst vulnerable communities around the world and highlights an inspiring testimony from a young climate activist in diverse cultures and contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese real-life stories feature along the way, as the authors take the reader on a journey from the roots of the climate emergency, through the creation care narrative of the Bible, to the call for all Christians to wake up to the urgency and scale of action required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplying the Bible in a climate emergency\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe writers frame the climate emergency problem around our spiritual condition, beginning Part 1 with two chapters (Waste and Want) that describe how our collective greed and wastefulness has created global environmental problems. In Part 2 they explain the Christian imperative for creation care, in four chapters organised around core Biblical themes of Faith, Love, Hope and Wisdom. The final section, Part 3 ‘What we can do?’, takes inspiration from scripture to suggest changes to travel and diet, to boost biodiversity, and to consider politics and protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole book is grounded in scripture. Apparently, every book of the Bible is referenced somewhere in the text – but I will take their word for it! Each chapter begins with a Bible passage that has relevance to the topic addressed, and sometimes the authors offer a modern adaptation of the passage to suggest how it could read for society today. I found these climate-nuanced translations of familiar verses and parables particularly thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also grounded in science. Evidence is laid out from around the world to show how planet and people are suffering from climate change. The information is clear and accessible; the colourful diagrams, photos and ‘Did you know?’ boxes make the pages visually interesting as well as aiding comprehension. For those who want to dig deeper, there are boxes for ‘deep thinkers’, an appendix that explains the science of climate change, and another which sets out carbon emission and climate vulnerability data for different countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA resource for families and churches\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging the climate spells out the urgency of the environmental problems we are all facing, whilst also making a compelling biblical case to take action. Yet the greatest strength is the practical ideas and tips listed at the end of each chapter. They range from quick and easy changes (eg re-use wrapping paper, be vegetarian once a week) to the more challenging lifestyle choices like how we heat our homes and whether to take a no-fly pledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall groups could effectively journey together through the book, discussing issues highlighted in the green question boxes that punctuate the text. There are videos and websites mentioned in Appendix D for extra content in group study settings. Each chapter finishes with a box to write what you will attempt to do in the next month. Being accountable in a small group should be an effective tool for embedding change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA humble tone and a brave attitude\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is informative, without being preachy, and encouraging, without being naïve. Importantly, the authors are humble, sharing what they could have done differently and how even determined eco-warriors can always do more. They acknowledge that individual change will not be enough to combat the climate emergency; there needs to be system change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter ‘Moving mountains: large scale action’ bravely faces up to contentious topics like nuclear power and population growth – ‘\u003cem\u003ehaving one less child would reduce greenhouse gases 75 times more than adopting a vegan diet\u003c\/em\u003e’. The controversial group Extinction Rebellion (XR) features as well: ‘\u003cem\u003emembers of XR have upset people, but so did Gandhi, civil rights activists, suffragettes and Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e’. I think sometimes as Christians we tiptoe around these issues and I appreciate the refreshing assertiveness found throughout the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book finishes with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ, pointing out that some parts of the body are already suffering from climate change. They assert that each Christian needs to play their part towards a solution, whether that is praying, protesting, fundraising, innovating… what will your part be in fixing the climate emergency? This book offers plenty of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Hannah Gray for JRI\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransforming Ministry, winter 2022. Review by Roger Thornington\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book by the Hawker family – two clinical psychologists and their 14 year old son – is marketed as a ‘resource for families and churches considering climate change’. The book is designed as a workbook with three parts – ‘The problem’, ‘Why we should act’ and ‘What can we do?’ It concludes with five reference appendices and a glossary. All twelve chapters follow similar formats – a relevant Bible passage, a brief exposition and space to record your response. Options for action are reviewed – Extinction Rebellion is mentioned with approval, though with a caveat regarding its ethos. ‘Deep thinkers’ sections offer further details with some practical tips the authors have used. A brief thematic prayer is followed by related input from an organisation involved in addressing issues raised in the chapter, which concludes with ‘Jamie’s 12 tips for action’ and space to record your response. Does the book achieve the authors’ aim? Will you find it useful? I think families may benefit from reading it but for active ministers, I am not so sure. However, one thing is certain with climate change – doing nothing is not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Roger Thornington\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-01-27T17:15:02+00:00","created_at":"2021-01-27T17:12:48+00:00","vendor":"Debbie Hawker","type":"Paperback","tags":["Environmental issues","Glassboxx","Jun-21","Mission"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"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":38055522828479,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800390225","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":28150457925823,"product_id":6285893566655,"position":1,"created_at":"2021-03-18T11:22:27+00:00","updated_at":"2021-03-18T11:22:28+00:00","alt":null,"width":1000,"height":1419,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390225.jpg?v=1616066548","variant_ids":[38055522828479]},"available":true,"name":"Changing the Climate: Applying the Bible in a climate emergency - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":999,"weight":215,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800390225","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":20444151578815,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.705,"height":1419,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390225.jpg?v=1616066548"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390225.jpg?v=1616066548"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390225.jpg?v=1616066548","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":20444151578815,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.705,"height":1419,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390225.jpg?v=1616066548"},"aspect_ratio":0.705,"height":1419,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390225.jpg?v=1616066548","width":1000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eA series of Bible passages unpacked to show the Bible’s relevance to environmentalism, and how we can all play our part in limiting the negative effects of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe climate crisis is one of the most important issues of our time, threatening lives and livelihoods.

The book has two subtitles ‘Applying the Bible in a climate emergency’ and ‘A resource for families and churches’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter profiles a different Christian charity working to alleviate the effects of climate change amongst vulnerable communities around the world and highlights an inspiring testimony from a young climate activist in diverse cultures and contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese real-life stories feature along the way, as the authors take the reader on a journey from the roots of the climate emergency, through the creation care narrative of the Bible, to the call for all Christians to wake up to the urgency and scale of action required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplying the Bible in a climate emergency\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe writers frame the climate emergency problem around our spiritual condition, beginning Part 1 with two chapters (Waste and Want) that describe how our collective greed and wastefulness has created global environmental problems. In Part 2 they explain the Christian imperative for creation care, in four chapters organised around core Biblical themes of Faith, Love, Hope and Wisdom. The final section, Part 3 ‘What we can do?’, takes inspiration from scripture to suggest changes to travel and diet, to boost biodiversity, and to consider politics and protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole book is grounded in scripture. Apparently, every book of the Bible is referenced somewhere in the text – but I will take their word for it! Each chapter begins with a Bible passage that has relevance to the topic addressed, and sometimes the authors offer a modern adaptation of the passage to suggest how it could read for society today. I found these climate-nuanced translations of familiar verses and parables particularly thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also grounded in science. Evidence is laid out from around the world to show how planet and people are suffering from climate change. The information is clear and accessible; the colourful diagrams, photos and ‘Did you know?’ boxes make the pages visually interesting as well as aiding comprehension. For those who want to dig deeper, there are boxes for ‘deep thinkers’, an appendix that explains the science of climate change, and another which sets out carbon emission and climate vulnerability data for different countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA resource for families and churches\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging the climate spells out the urgency of the environmental problems we are all facing, whilst also making a compelling biblical case to take action. Yet the greatest strength is the practical ideas and tips listed at the end of each chapter. They range from quick and easy changes (eg re-use wrapping paper, be vegetarian once a week) to the more challenging lifestyle choices like how we heat our homes and whether to take a no-fly pledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall groups could effectively journey together through the book, discussing issues highlighted in the green question boxes that punctuate the text. There are videos and websites mentioned in Appendix D for extra content in group study settings. Each chapter finishes with a box to write what you will attempt to do in the next month. Being accountable in a small group should be an effective tool for embedding change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA humble tone and a brave attitude\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is informative, without being preachy, and encouraging, without being naïve. Importantly, the authors are humble, sharing what they could have done differently and how even determined eco-warriors can always do more. They acknowledge that individual change will not be enough to combat the climate emergency; there needs to be system change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter ‘Moving mountains: large scale action’ bravely faces up to contentious topics like nuclear power and population growth – ‘\u003cem\u003ehaving one less child would reduce greenhouse gases 75 times more than adopting a vegan diet\u003c\/em\u003e’. The controversial group Extinction Rebellion (XR) features as well: ‘\u003cem\u003emembers of XR have upset people, but so did Gandhi, civil rights activists, suffragettes and Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e’. I think sometimes as Christians we tiptoe around these issues and I appreciate the refreshing assertiveness found throughout the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book finishes with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ, pointing out that some parts of the body are already suffering from climate change. They assert that each Christian needs to play their part towards a solution, whether that is praying, protesting, fundraising, innovating… what will your part be in fixing the climate emergency? This book offers plenty of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Hannah Gray for JRI\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransforming Ministry, winter 2022. Review by Roger Thornington\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book by the Hawker family – two clinical psychologists and their 14 year old son – is marketed as a ‘resource for families and churches considering climate change’. The book is designed as a workbook with three parts – ‘The problem’, ‘Why we should act’ and ‘What can we do?’ It concludes with five reference appendices and a glossary. All twelve chapters follow similar formats – a relevant Bible passage, a brief exposition and space to record your response. Options for action are reviewed – Extinction Rebellion is mentioned with approval, though with a caveat regarding its ethos. ‘Deep thinkers’ sections offer further details with some practical tips the authors have used. A brief thematic prayer is followed by related input from an organisation involved in addressing issues raised in the chapter, which concludes with ‘Jamie’s 12 tips for action’ and space to record your response. Does the book achieve the authors’ aim? Will you find it useful? I think families may benefit from reading it but for active ministers, I am not so sure. However, one thing is certain with climate change – doing nothing is not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Roger Thornington\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

For each of the saints, some well-known, others less so, the author provides a brief biography followed by a meditation inviting us to examine our own lives or reactions to being faced with situations or challenges similar to those faced by the saint in his or her life. There is then a short, relevant passage from scripture and finally a blessing focussed on inspiring us if we meet the sort of situations described and meditated on. Compact, well organised, informative about those who have gone before us, and helping us to learn from their responses to the challenges in life we often share with them, I commend this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by John Nicholls\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed by Richard Frost, April 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Cole’s excellent book considers the lives of 40 saints and how the Celtic Christians observed three ‘Lenten’ periods in a year.

The contributions are thoughtful, well-written and accessible, and collectively they explain and promote the benefits and strengths of Celtic spirituality, especially through prayer. The aim is simple: to seek God within everyday life, in the landscape and through the seasons, for we have a God who cares for both the cosmos and the ordinary. The great truths of the Christian gospel are woven together in practical and usable prayers, like the characteristic Celtic knotwork. Individual essay themes include contemporary cultural thoughts on unity, inclusion and disability as well as the ‘eternal’ issues so familiar to the early saints, including meditation, healing, justice, pilgrimage and the Holy Spirit. There are many new and relevant prayers within the text, as well as practical creative advice on liturgy and finding God in art and music. All readers should find new inspiration here to strengthen their prayer lives, so I warmly recommend this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Elizabeth Stephenson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChurch Times 17.06.22.

Thirty members have collaboratively provided 20 short chapters on aspects of prayer, drawing insights from the Celtic tradition as they range from meditation to daily work, the inner city to needlework, social issues to icons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir focus is on living prayerfully now, not historical investigation, although, by the end of the book, we have also received a useful introduction to the Celtic background. Their spiritual feet are on the ground. Establish a rhythm of daily prayer, we are advised: 'I imagine that such a length of time could be about four minutes.' Recognise times when you may need liturgy rather than meditation: 'I found that silence just created a space for worry.' Avoid 'unreal and unbiblically shallow positivity'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey acknowledge that mind and heart go together in faith, but the book reflects the tradition’s emphasis on the affective and imaginative over the cognitive (the contributor who saw the hand of God when she failed to get a job as a surgeon, because it left Friday nights free for the church house-group, might have benefited from a more robust theology of Providence).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outstanding chapter is Becky Mairi Farrell’s radical reflection on living with disability.

We associate “Celtic spirituality” with St. Patrick, St. Brigit, St. Columba, St. Kevin… with ancient monastic sites like Iona, Glendalough, or Skellig Michael… with legends of old like the Voyage of St. Brendan. It’s easy to think of Celtic Christianity as a nostalgic spirituality from way back when! But there is a living, breathing, vibrant tradition of dedicated seekers who live the spirituality of the Celts in our time. One such community grounded in the Celtic tradition is the Community of Aidan and Hilda, based on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

It deals comprehensively with many aspects of prayer and living the Christian life. Writers comment that those practising Celtic prayer need to incorporate prayer into a working life, and for most of us, that is the way we ourselves need to live. Accordingly, they discuss the need for daily rhythms of prayer and to learn to be contemplative in the market place. There are practical chapters on both ways of prayer and the reading of scripture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany aspects of living in the awareness of God are covered and thoughtfully approached. And there are also several topics ─ like diversity and social justice, and prejudice, inequality and bias ─ which are not often included in books on prayer. Unanswered prayer and living with disability are not forgotten. A chapter entitled God loves your mind and emotions is sensitively discussed by four members of the community. The early Celtic saints are not forgotten and their lives and practices illustrate the Christian life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a serious but accessible and inspiring book which would worthily repay much study and thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Janet Robinson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransforming Ministry Autumn 2022. Review by Elizabeth Stephenson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engaging book of essays has been written by members of the Community of Aidan and Hilda, a dispersed ecumenical body which gains inspiration from the ancient Celtic saints. The contributions are thoughtful, well-written and accessible, and collectively they explain and promote the benefits and strengths of Celtic spirituality, especially through prayer. The aim is simple: to seek God within everyday life, in the landscape and through the seasons, for we have a God who cares for both the cosmos and the ordinary. The great truths of the Christian gospel are woven together in practical and usable prayers, like the characteristic Celtic knotwork. Individual essay themes include contemporary cultural thoughts on unity, inclusion and disability as well as the ‘eternal’ issues so familiar to the early saints, including meditation, healing, justice, pilgrimage and the Holy Spirit. There are many new and relevant prayers within the text, as well as practical creative advice on liturgy and finding God in art and music. All readers should find new inspiration here to strengthen their prayer lives, so I warmly recommend this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Elizabeth Stephenson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChurch Times 17.06.22. Review by Philip Welsh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Community of Aidan and Hilda is a 'dispersed Celtic-inspired New Monastic community', whose vision is to engage with the 'saints and the streets; the seasons and the soil; Spirit and the scriptures'. Thirty members have collaboratively provided 20 short chapters on aspects of prayer, drawing insights from the Celtic tradition as they range from meditation to daily work, the inner city to needlework, social issues to icons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir focus is on living prayerfully now, not historical investigation, although, by the end of the book, we have also received a useful introduction to the Celtic background. Their spiritual feet are on the ground. Establish a rhythm of daily prayer, we are advised: 'I imagine that such a length of time could be about four minutes.' Recognise times when you may need liturgy rather than meditation: 'I found that silence just created a space for worry.' Avoid 'unreal and unbiblically shallow positivity'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey acknowledge that mind and heart go together in faith, but the book reflects the tradition’s emphasis on the affective and imaginative over the cognitive (the contributor who saw the hand of God when she failed to get a job as a surgeon, because it left Friday nights free for the church house-group, might have benefited from a more robust theology of Providence).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outstanding chapter is Becky Mairi Farrell’s radical reflection on living with disability. 'Some disabled people don’t welcome prayers for healing because we are already whole.' The term ‘disability’ itself is unacceptable to many as it doesn’t address the way that society at large can disable people.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors clearly value belonging to their community. We hear little about the place of the local church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten at a popular level, Celtic Prayer is an attractive volume from an enterprising community, who embody a practical spirituality that is both ancient and modern: 'Let the light fade and the work be done. Let the flowers and the laptops close.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Philip Welsh\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeltic Prayer — Caught Up in Love: Wisdom for living from a modern Celtic community\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Cole\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBRF £12.99\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(978-1-80039-053-9)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChurch Times Bookshop £11.69\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Carl McColman, soul friend and story teller. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.anamchara.com\"\u003ewww.anamchara.com\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarch 2022.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo much of the literature of Celtic Christianity is, well, ancient. We associate “Celtic spirituality” with St. Patrick, St. Brigit, St. Columba, St. Kevin… with ancient monastic sites like Iona, Glendalough, or Skellig Michael… with legends of old like the Voyage of St. Brendan. It’s easy to think of Celtic Christianity as a nostalgic spirituality from way back when! But there is a living, breathing, vibrant tradition of dedicated seekers who live the spirituality of the Celts in our time. One such community grounded in the Celtic tradition is the Community of Aidan and Hilda, based on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. So this beautiful new book from BRF features prayers, liturgies, and guidance from a variety of members of this contemporary Celtic organization.

It is divided into four parts which could be used during the four weeks before Christmas. Each part is made up of several short sections comprising scripture, a reflection by the author and an illustration. Amy, the author, encourages us to think more deeply about a particular aspect of Christmas. She also gives us an insight into her childhood memories and why they are so special to her. She then closes each reflection by leaving questions with the reader; questions for us to ponder and pray about. Leo beautifully illustrates the theme with his paintings. This would make an excellent small gift which could be used year after year and still stay fresh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eReview by Sue Piper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaptist Times online. 18.11.21.

This usually involves some form of less is more, and Amy and her father have produced something that may help you to slow down in order to enter into the wonder, mystery and miracle of Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea is simple: a set of meditations written by Amy with interleaved artwork by her father, Leo. There are four themes: symbols of Christmas; the joys and sorrows of Christmas; He is Jesus; and God becomes man. Each has a set of six meditations (except for the last, which has a seventh: Outsiders welcome!) Every meditation has a piece of art to look at, a couple of pages of thoughtful text, and a short prayer. At the end, there are questions and some idea as to how you might use the book over the four weeks of Advent (presumably skipping the Sundays to fit the 6, 6, 6, 7 pattern).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI prefer to review books in soft copy, and so I may have missed one of the best features: that it is something to feel, with pages to turn, and images to get up close to – much better in print than on a screen. Something small and tangible that you can secrete about your person and pull out in thoughtful moments is still a glory of the printed page that hasn’t made it to the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI can’t say whether you will enjoy the (good quality) art or not. As I say, I think it will be more fun on the page than on the screen. I loved the colours as wise men worked their way under skies a deep shade of azure – but I’m a sentimentalist at Christmas and so it worked for me. Whatever your taste, the reflective interludes help to slow you down. Topically, the images go with the words – some in expected ways and some as a surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, that’s what Amy and her father have delivered – but what is it like as an experience? I love Christmas, so I was won over by the title. The book is dripping with nostalgia – particularly from childhood – with Minnesota’s snow, or star-filled skies. With her own children growing up, there is a fresh dose of Christmas past, candlelit churches, presents, excitement and transcendent experiences that burst past the sentiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Amy, I was born on one side of the Atlantic and live on the other so I understand the disappointment that comes when you first discover that carols are sung to all the wrong tunes, and also that sense of joy that ebbs back as you acclimatise to a new Advent culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmy has shared her experiences of sterner Christmases – or blue Christmas, as she calls it – and I appreciate the balance this brought to the book. I felt a little edgy at times lest people who had hurt Amy might now feel hurt if they could identify themselves in the narrative. It’s a tricky call, and necessary, I think, to making a grown-up contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmy’s list of roles includes that of a spiritual director, and there are some stretching exercises at the end. I didn’t try them – like the Levite in the parable, I was too intent on getting on with my job, and so passed by on the other side of the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you want to slow down and spread advent over an entire month, here is a super little package to help you along. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProfessor Terry Young is an author and member of a Baptist church.

It is divided into four parts which could be used during the four weeks before Christmas. Each part is made up of several short sections comprising scripture, a reflection by the author and an illustration. Amy, the author, encourages us to think more deeply about a particular aspect of Christmas. She also gives us an insight into her childhood memories and why they are so special to her. She then closes each reflection by leaving questions with the reader; questions for us to ponder and pray about. Leo beautifully illustrates the theme with his paintings. This would make an excellent small gift which could be used year after year and still stay fresh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eReview by Sue Piper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaptist Times online. 18.11.21.

This usually involves some form of less is more, and Amy and her father have produced something that may help you to slow down in order to enter into the wonder, mystery and miracle of Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea is simple: a set of meditations written by Amy with interleaved artwork by her father, Leo. There are four themes: symbols of Christmas; the joys and sorrows of Christmas; He is Jesus; and God becomes man. Each has a set of six meditations (except for the last, which has a seventh: Outsiders welcome!) Every meditation has a piece of art to look at, a couple of pages of thoughtful text, and a short prayer. At the end, there are questions and some idea as to how you might use the book over the four weeks of Advent (presumably skipping the Sundays to fit the 6, 6, 6, 7 pattern).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI prefer to review books in soft copy, and so I may have missed one of the best features: that it is something to feel, with pages to turn, and images to get up close to – much better in print than on a screen. Something small and tangible that you can secrete about your person and pull out in thoughtful moments is still a glory of the printed page that hasn’t made it to the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI can’t say whether you will enjoy the (good quality) art or not. As I say, I think it will be more fun on the page than on the screen. I loved the colours as wise men worked their way under skies a deep shade of azure – but I’m a sentimentalist at Christmas and so it worked for me. Whatever your taste, the reflective interludes help to slow you down. Topically, the images go with the words – some in expected ways and some as a surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, that’s what Amy and her father have delivered – but what is it like as an experience? I love Christmas, so I was won over by the title. The book is dripping with nostalgia – particularly from childhood – with Minnesota’s snow, or star-filled skies. With her own children growing up, there is a fresh dose of Christmas past, candlelit churches, presents, excitement and transcendent experiences that burst past the sentiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Amy, I was born on one side of the Atlantic and live on the other so I understand the disappointment that comes when you first discover that carols are sung to all the wrong tunes, and also that sense of joy that ebbs back as you acclimatise to a new Advent culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmy has shared her experiences of sterner Christmases – or blue Christmas, as she calls it – and I appreciate the balance this brought to the book. I felt a little edgy at times lest people who had hurt Amy might now feel hurt if they could identify themselves in the narrative. It’s a tricky call, and necessary, I think, to making a grown-up contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmy’s list of roles includes that of a spiritual director, and there are some stretching exercises at the end. I didn’t try them – like the Levite in the parable, I was too intent on getting on with my job, and so passed by on the other side of the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you want to slow down and spread advent over an entire month, here is a super little package to help you along. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProfessor Terry Young is an author and member of a Baptist church.

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":"2024-10-18T10:19:50+01:00","created_at":"2024-10-18T10:18:16+01:00","vendor":"David Kitchen","type":"eBook","tags":["Biblical engagement","Church life","Discipleship","For churches","For individuals","Glassboxx"],"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":53596425453948,"title":"eBook","option1":"eBook","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800391529","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":33430415671487,"product_id":14677635137916,"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":[53596425453948]},"available":true,"name":"Bible in Ten: Any book of the Bible cracked in ten minutes or less - eBook","public_title":"eBook","options":["eBook"],"price":1299,"weight":385,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800391529","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\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital eBook Only - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\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.

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! Be sure to order your copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Betty Taylor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethodist Recorder March 2023. 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"}

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"}

I love this, because how many parents of babies and toddlers have great swathes of time in which to read?? However, don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s lightweight or shallow. I don’t know what kind of magic Rachel Turner has, but she’s managed to condense her deepest wisdom into short, accessible chapters which even the busiest parent will be able to dip into and take something from. Great for seasoned Christians, but also highly accessible for those new to church or the Christian faith. Give it to your baptism families!\u003c\/p\u003e"}
