The Homilies were originally published in 1547, to help reform and renew the Church of England in the biblical faith of the Reformation. This series of sermons was written to enable often rather uneducated ministers, teach and explain the essence of the Christian faith from the pulpits of the land. They unfold the doctrines of scripture, sin, salvation, and Christian living with clarity and verve. This is what makes returning to the Homilies-now, for the first time, updated in modern English-such an invigorating and life-giving thing to do today.

Bishop JC Ryle reminds us, in these five pen portraits, of some of the most significant church leaders in the tumultuous seventeenth century. He begins with the anti-hero, Archbishop Laud, deeply flawed but hugely significant. Then he turns to look at a puritan who preached his heart out in an Anglican pulpit (Samuel Ward), a puritan who was ejected from the Church of England (Richard Baxter), and one who happily conformed after 1662 (William Gurnall). Finally, he explores the life and legacy of seven courageous bishops who took a stand against a tyrannical state in revolutionary days. These insightful and fiery essays by Bishop Ryle are brought together for the first time in this insightful volume introduced by Lee Gatiss.

Building for the Gospel: A handbook for the visionary and the terrified

Cameron, Author Julia E M

A stellar cast of Anglican pastors and theologians from around the world reflect on the foundational teachings of global Anglicanism. Putting the Thirty-nine Articles in their biblical and historical context, they navigate some of the difficult terrain with clear and compelling application for today. Each article is preceded by a Bible text with study and reflection questions. The article is stated, and commented upon in a short article. There then follow discussion questions and a suggested prayer. This book is a great resource for churches to use as a study guide to reflect on the foundational articles of the Anglican church.

Walking by the River: 100 New Hymn and Song Texts 1998-2008, with other verses (Christopher Idle Hymn Texts)

Idle, Christopher M

This book recounts the stories of just some of the hundreds of peasant farmers from Southern Ethiopia who God called to take the Gospel message into previously inaccessible regions, to people so fierce they would not hesitate to kill an outsider. It is a brief record of some of their culture, the security of their families and who, with Bible and water bottle in hand and confidence in their saviour, took the message of Jesus Christ over the mountain ranges and beyond the rivers to those who had never heard of Him. Today, through the sacrifices and sufferings of men like these, there are thousands of churches throughout the mountains of Southern Ethiopia. These stories will shock encourage, challenge and provoke you to follow their example as gospel warriors.

Warriors of Ethiopia

McLellan, Richard

Though confronted with political suppression from the communist regime, spiritual hostility from feared witchdoctors and physical trials from nature itself, the number of followers of Christ in south-west Ethiopia continued - and continues - to grow. These people's stories - individuals from all areas of tribal Ethiopian life - serve as witness to God's power over all things and His love fro those who hold on to His Word. They are an encouragement that no person is too weak to spread the Good News and none too great to be humbled. But they are also a challenge: do we entrust ourselves so entirely to the Lord? Have we the courage to face the ultimate sacrifice? Could we do the same? These extraordinary stories will shock, encourage, challenge and provoke you to follow their example as gospel messengers.

Messengers of Ethiopia

For many centuries, people have learned what it means to be a Christian through the Apostles' Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer. Billions of people have been baptised into the faith, regularly attended church, and celebrated the Lord's Supper, but they haven't always understood what they are all about. If you need help to really get going or inspiration to continue on your own journey as a Christian, this book is for you. It takes a careful look at those major signposts along the way, and lights the path ahead with clarity and grace. With questions to ponder and prayers to pray, this is an ideal way to spend a few minutes each day on your own, or an hour a week in a group with friends, thinking about the key elements of classic Christianity.
