| 'The
Bondage Breaker' (New Edition with Study Guide)
Do you feel trapped? - You find yourself locked in habits you can't break. You're a Christian and this sort of thing doesn't happen to Christians - or so you have been told. You can break free! - The Bible warns repeatedly that all Christians will struggle against Satan. While the conflict is real, so are the answers. This solidly biblical book reminds us that our struggle involves more than sinful desires and psychological disorders: Dr Anderson guides us in God's practical means and provisions for victory. This new edition of The Bondage Breaker includes a substantial study guide providing detailed questions for personal reflection or group use. The questions are particularly penetrating and will help readers to build up a stronger spiritual life. This is a book to savour and reuse. Dr Neil T Anderson is president of Freedom in Christ Ministries and author of a number of bestselling books including 'Victory Over the Darkness'. He has doctorates in education and ministry and many years' experience as a pastor and teacher. |

'The
Theology of Illness' "(This book) offers us
fresh insight into the mystery of evil, sin, and illness, and their
place within our struggle toward holiness.... It gives us renewed
hope, by locating the 'problem of pain' in a profoundly theological
framework, in which ultimate resolution of the mystery of illness
and suffering is provided by the healing touch of Christ Himself,
the Physician of our souls and bodies." Jean-Claude Larchet's The Theology of Illness, already translated into several languages, now appears in English and explores biblical and patristic perspectives on sickness and redemptive suffering. The questions Larchet considers are fundamental: the origins of sin in a fallen world, its impact on physical health, and the healing of human nature by the incarnate Son of God. He explains healing as a means of glorifying God, stressing again the crucial role of prayer and sacramental grace in promoting genuine health. When illness plunges us into unfamiliar territory, even to the point of death, Larchet teaches us to marshal spiritual reserves in a society dominated by technology and materialism. In a time when the physician has been dubbed the high priest of the god of Modern Medicine, Larchet encourages us to situate these crucial experiences within the framework of their relationship to the unique reality of the Holy Trinity. |

| 'Healing'
Why is there prejudice against the healing ministry? Why are some people not healed? These topical and vital questions are just some of the issues addressed by Francis MacNutt in Healing. A wide-ranging and broad-based overview, it is essential reading for all involved in the healing ministry. "Prayer for healing is so central to the gospel," writes MacNutt, "that it should be an integral part of the life of every community of believers. My heart cries out to see it restored to the place it had in the early Christian church." Francis MacNutt is founding director of Christian Healing Ministries, and is known worldwide for his preaching and healing ministry. His other books include The Prayer That Heals and Praying for Your Unborn Child. "A classic and foundational book on healing, it offers a comprehensive look into the history and effects of worldviews on healing - I received practical insights into how to pray for the sick."

| 'Landmarks
- an Ignatian Journey' Landmarks help us to find ourselves when we think we are lost. When we don't know where to begin, they give us a starting point. When we think we know where we are, they give us the confidence to keep going. And if we think we have arrived, they remind us that there is always something more, somewhere beyond.... This is a book of landmarks for the heart's journey. Written out of the author's own prayer and lived experience, and inspired by her practical explorations of the insights of St Ignatius Loyola, it opens up questions which concern us all. How can we recognise God's ceaseless action in our lives and begin to discern his will? What does 'fallenness' mean for us today? How can we live true to ourselves and make decisions in freedom? How do we penetrate our deepest desires and become free of the lesser attachments that obstruct them? Big questions - but as Margaret Silf shows, there are clues to be discovered in every moment and situation: at home, at work, in the garden, in the market, in the bath! Landmarks will help us discover and deepen our own individual journeys. Written for both groups and individuals, it is illustrated with drawings and diagrams, and contains exercises and suggestions for prayer and reflection. Be warned, however, Landmarks are not for armchair pilgrims. They are for the People of the Way. Margaret Silf is a Roman Catholic lay person who has been trained by the Jesuits in accompanying others in prayer. She is the author of The Miller's Tale (Avon Books). |

| 'Tears
at Night - Joy at Dawn, Journal of a Dying Seminarian'
Andrew Robinson is a young seminarian dying of cancer. His Archbishop gives him a journal and invites him to record his daily thoughts. Despite his suffering he is happy to sing the praises of God. Although rather daunting in its subject matter this book is an uplifting read and an encouraging testimony to the sovereignty, providence and will of God. It is a powerful testimony to God's grace in preparing a young man to face life's ultimate reality. This is a profound and
moving story of courage. It often moved me to tears |
