'What On Earth Is Heaven?' by Paula Gooder.

'Why Read The Bible?' by Tom Wright

The Bible is a big book full of big stories with big characters. They have big ideas (not least about themselves) and make big mistakes. It's about God and greed and about grace. It's about life, lust, laughter and loneliness.

It's book full of births, beginnings and betrayals. There are stories about siblings, squabbles and sex. There are serious lessons to be found there about power and prayer, prison and passion. And that's only Genesis.

Tom Wright unpacks the contents of the Bible and explains the source and meaning of its inspiration, impact and authority. 'Why Read The Bible?' is a book for all who are curious about how God's voice can be heard today.

What Do We Mean by 'God'? by Keith Ward

Language about God is something like the language of poetry. We know facts about the world without having poetry. The poetic use of language is not to increase our information about the world but to evoke in us a certain attitude or way of looking at things or feeling about things.

If this is also the purpose of religious language, what sort of view of the world is it trying to convey? Keith Ward - Professorial Research Fellow at Heythrop College, London and formerly Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford - thinks we might say it's about trying to convey the idea that the world is an expression of a reality beyond it.

Keith Ward unpacks the meaning of the word 'God' and explains why we need to get rid of the crude and unhelpful assumptions that still abound. This is a book for all who are curious about how God, and God's actions, can be understood today.

'What Happens When You Pray?' by John Pritchard

It happens to most of us at some time or other. A faint stirring somewhere that there may be more to this life than meets the eye. The thought just flits across our air-space and we ask ourselves, 'I wonder... is there something else?'

Perhaps something really brilliant or really tragic happens to us and we're not sure what to do with the experience. Maybe it even gets as far as a sense of reaching out from inside ourselves for something. But what?

John Pritchard explores that elusive 'something else', examines the art and power of prayer and explains how to slow down enough to hear what God wants to say.

John Pritchard invites all who are curious about how to become more in tune with the Spirit of God to share in addressing this fundamental question.
