Scriptural Delights
The author of this majestic Psalm 119 builds up within it metaphors about his relationship with God - treasures of delight. The Psalmist takes great delight explaining his relationship with God. A relationship which is sweetly intimate and dynamic. Have you ever noticed how the curiosity of birds, including Magpies, gets them to dig around exploring and then sing with delight upon finding what to their minds is treasure!
We can do the same with Scripture. Psalm 119, which is the delightful colossus of the Psalms, lends itself to much discovery and exploration. Alas, because of its length, a lot of people are put off reading it, let alone studying it. However Psalm 119 has a vibrant beauty and depth all of its own. It offers many pearls of wisdom to Christians living in the 21st century. Come! Let us explore together, the treasures of this magnificent piece of Scripture - Psalm 119.
"Scriptural Delights: Exploring Psalm 119" available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle with ISBN: 978-1507624203

Living Life Right
The book we are looking at this week, is What's It All About Alphy: The Lord's Prayer
Alphy the WOWChurch Cat explores the depths of what we call the Lord's Prayer! It is probably the most known Christian prayer in the world! But how many people really understand what they are praying when they say it? Let Alphy the WOWChurch Cat help you understand this amazing prayer more.
It is a great book for those just learning about Christianity, as well as comprehensive enough to challenge mature saints. This is the Large Print Edition! It is also available as a regular edition and on Kindle! In this adventure, will Alphy find something that is a reminder to you? Or indeed, will Alphy discover something new for you? Mee-WOW! Words are for adults, but the full colour illustrations can be used to explain the prayer to children! Great for family learning times together!
Review 1: "I received my books this week and I was very impressed with the layout of it. The illustrations and colours chosen, make the words come to life as you read it. I was captured with how well the writer has explained this age old prayer in modern day simple language. It's a great book that I believe will appeal to all ages and walks of life and the illustrations not only capture children's interest, but they actually help adults to understand what all the different parts of The Lord's Prayer actually means . I would by more books explaining the bible done in this way most definitely."
Review 2: "This book has everything anyone who loves God & wants to learn more of the Bible, the illustrations are clear & concise, matching the text opposite exactly. The font of the text is clear well-spaced & easy to read. The book appeals to both adults & children, an added bonus is it's perfect format for anyone with learning disabilities.
The content of the book is very scripturally sound, & has helped me a Christian of many years to understand more about the Lord Prayer & of its importance in our Christian lives."
Review 3: "I absolutely love this book! The font is so clear and easy to read, being large and double spaced, with fantastic original graphics that help aid understanding for children and adults alike, and aid re-telling too. Perfect for a Sunday School lesson, or even a whole series of lessons.
Also great as a gift for families whose children attend the Sunday School to make learning the Lord's prayer easier to remember and fun to learn at home. Is great for adults with learning difficulties. Going to suggest buying some for a literacy class. I don't like cat's usually, but I love Alphy! Go on, buy it, you won't be disappointed!"
Review 4: "Loved this fun to read book explaining the Lord's Prayer scriptures of the Bible. Dave Roberts has an amazing talent for making God's Word come alive with his easy to read and easy to understand writing. I highly recommend this book and this author. Dave has had over 4 million hits on his online writings and podcasts."
Available in paperback or Kindle, Amazon and all good bookstores: ISBN: 978-1507801116

Exploring Islam with David Combes
The media can deliver much of our experience and understanding of the Islamic faith from far reaching locations across the world. However, the tragedy of this is for most us who do not know Muslims personally, we commonly paint them with the same brush, assume that they are all ‘out to get us’ or seem so different and unknown that we avoid them.
This little book attempts to fill in some potential gaps and maybe even correct some misunderstandings concering Islam, all done in the spirit that ‘loving our neighbour’ includes those of a different faith or ethnic origin.
Here is what 3 reviewers said:
Review 1: There are plenty of lengthy books about Islam, and about the contrasts and comparisons with Christian beliefs, but this is a refreshingly short and informative book. I found the key verses helpful to read and I enjoyed the section about the history of Islam. David's passion and heart for Muslim people comes through the book and I would recommend this as introductory reading for anyone who is interested in learning more.
Review 2: Exploring Islam is a fantastic little book. The Ideal introductory book for any Christian who wants to learn about the complex world of Islam. Exploring Islam lays out the fundamental doctrines of Islam, as well as noting similarities and differences between the two faiths in an easy to read concise format. Great work!
Review 3: At first I was reluctant to read this book, felt why should I learn about Islam, I enjoyed the book helped me to understand the Muslims I meet.

Dear Christian - Get a good grip
The book we are looking at this week, is Dear Christian - Get a good grip: Basic studies about God and following Him.
Here is what one reviewer said:
Down to Earth and packs all the punches we need to get a grip on what's important! Excellent series of books. Highly recommended.
Are you a Christian Disciple? Fabulous! How well do you know the God you follow? God has a grip on you, but how good is your grip on Him? Are you holding on to Him by just your fingernails? Or do you have a good firm grip on His hand, just as a baby grips onto the hand of their father? As Christian Disciples, we are only just beginning to know what it means that God became human. When on that moment the holy & sinless God, chose to enter human history and became man. Why? So that humans could choose for themselves to be in a relationship with God or not, accepting freely that they are ransomed, healed, restored and forgiven.
Yet in our modern Western Civilisation, the Church in places has forgotten this. It is time for the Church to once again go back to basics, to be reminded of them if necessary, to get their collective hands dirty and echo the God they claim to follow. Are you ready to learn not just about God but also why?
In these studies we look together at:
- Why Study God?
- Who is God?
- God as Trinity
- God the Father
- God the Son
- God the Holy Spirit
- God, Humans and Life
- A Tale of 4 Disciples
- What is a Disciple?
- Goal of a Disciple
- Living as a Disciple
- Growing as a Disciple
- The Cross and the Disciple

Exploring The Bible
Have you ever noticed the first thing a baby does when it is born? It cries! The crying shows that it is alive. Or how about when it needs help? It cries, wanting attention. A baby crying is symbolic of humanity's need of God and life with Him. That is the message of the Bible. The Bible also shows how God has intervened in human history - by becoming one of us and getting His hands dirty! WOW!
That is the message of Christmas and Easter! What is the best way to learn about God and follow Him? It is by reading the Bible regularly. Now, admittedly, this can lead to confusion! However, help is at hand within the pages of this little book. Christians think that through the Bible, God has spoken to our world because He loves this world which He made.
Written over a period of about 1,500 years by people of different nationalities, cultures and backgrounds, the Bible has a central message: God is love. Come inside and spend a short time each day, working your way through each book of the Bible, to see the development of this love. After all, it is the story of God & humanity. It is a story of ancient beginnings through to new beginnings! Are you ready? Come on in!
As well as looking at each book of the Bible, there is also a study guide looking at best practise to interacting with the Bible. In this section, we look at how God speaks through the Bible, some keys to understanding the Bible, how the Bible helps equips you for service, helps you to know God better and to discover His will for you, as one of His children...
