Spiritual

This is a very couragous book written by Australian doctor Dr Ern Crocker. As a Christian and having seen many miracles happen for his patients through prayer, he decided to interview fellow Christian doctors to get their experiences as well.

In Britain sharing your Christian belief with a patient or even being found to pray for a patient will get you suspended by the GMC - how different the two countries are. In Dr Crocker's country of Australia there are even Christian GP surgeries! These doctors do not have to fear being hauled through the courts just for sharing their faith!

I love this book and the way it is written, in easy short chapters, with the ultimate goal of making your wish/dream come true. But there is work to do first and that is change yourself, change the world. It is a profound book and I found that by reading each chapter slowly and doing the meditations the changes will come so that you are well and truly prepared for that wish/dream to come true.

I highly recommend this book for all who want to make their dreams and wishes a happening.

I really like this format of getting to know a spiritual teacher in 30 days of readings, drawing on the writings of that person.

Here with 14th century writer Thomas a Kempis - well known for his work The Imitation of Christ - we get to know how he thinks in short prose in the morning, a mantra to take you through the day and then finishing of with the evening prose.

'What Good is God' is an extraordinary journey that author Philip Yancey has taken us on, in travelling to six different countries that have suffered severe trauma. But this isn't just about other people and how they cope in in such severe circumstances, but about Philip's own journey and how he feels about the situation. It is about how following the Word of Jesus Christ and how is changes us personally to do better in life, and how we see how other people have changed and then they become an example to us - it is also about Grace. But the biggest surprise to me was how much C.S. ..read more

Wow - what can I say! RT Kendall is not one to mince his words, and comes straight to the point very quickly. If you are willing to humble yourself, admit your failure and work in Faith to get that second chance, then RT Kendall will guide you all the way with this book.

As always he is excellent and points out that God never stops Loving you in any way - that's where the Faith bit comes in because you really do need to accept this!

The Complete Bible Experience on audio with a wide variety of top notch actors and actresses is to say the least - brilliant. You actually feel like you are in the action as you listen to the actors speak.

A wonderfully Pink bible - that's small and zipped - so easy to carry without damaging those very thin pages. I like the NIV version of which this is - but the writing is small! Great for young eyes but those of an older dispostion will need those magnifying glasses!

Love at Work is a brilliant self help book on how to connect the head with the heart to bring about a good working atmosphere at work, whilst improving yourself.

Nigel has given us lots of meditations, anecdotes and his personal experiences to show us how to get to the end goal of a well adjusted business with a happy worker!

At the back of the book there are lots of further reading book references, as well as the usual bibliography of books used in the writing of Love at Work.

What I like about For Lovers of God Everywhere by Roger Housden, is that it is an unusual poetry book in the fact that you have the poem on the left hand page, and on the right hand page is an explanation of the poem and it's author.

There are poems from a wide ranged of Christian Mystics - some centuries old and others quite modern. None is more than a couple of verses long, but all of them are succunct in what they have to say.

What a brilliant book full of short poems and short stories, which you can either use them for meditiaitons or just read and absorb.

One thing is for sure Simon Parke hates to be labelled or boxed in and at every available opportunity he will gently let you know that you need to rebel against this habit of ours - the need to pidgeon hole everything.

Loved it and highly recommend it - it will do it's very best to make you think and feel.
