With a new year upon us, we’re busy in the office preparing to launch an exciting array of products designed to inspire, equip and support you in your ministry. And, as valued blog-readers, we thought we’d give you a sneak preview of just a few of the titles we’ve got coming out in the next 6 months…
So here’s a little glimpse of one or two things that each member of the editorial team has been writing or editing ready for 2013.
Tim Thornborough:
Gospel Centred Work by Tim Chester and Christopher de la Hoyde (coming soon)
This new volume in the brilliant Gospel-centred series tackles how we think about work as believers. As I've worked with the authors and edited it, it has changed the way I think about work in quite remarkable ways - so looking forward to this resource helping so many of us who struggle with work in all kinds of ways.
Martin Cole:
The Remedy by Dai Hankey (coming soon)
The Remedy is straight-forward booklet explaining what Christianity is all about and how Jesus is the remedy to the sickness of sin. It rocks!
Carl Laferton:
Passion: How Christ's final day changes your every day, by Mike McKinley
Looking at the final 24 hours of Jesus' earthly life through Luke's eyes, this sounds like a book you've probably read before until you start reading it. It is moving, thrilling, and deeply, deeply challenging, because Mike shows us not only how Jesus' Passion has changed and secured our future, but how it will utterly transform every single day of our lives here and now. Perfect for seekers and new Christians who want to understand the cross, and perfect for more mature Christians who want to love and live for the man on the cross, this book changed me (as I edited it) more than any other Christian book I've read for years.
Anne Woodcock:
The King and I by Pete and Anne Woodcock
I'm excited about The King and I (the third in Pete Woodcock's "Jesus and You" series of 4-session, DVD-based, evangelistic courses) because it uses the words of Jesus in Matthew 13 to open up to people the truth that Jesus is the King sent by God. He is like no other king, he has given his life for his people, he offers us life for ever, he is worth following more than anything else in life, and will ultimately be known as the king over every one of us—and it's got a great picture on the cover!
Alison Mitchell:
The Eggcellent Egg Hunt by Alison Mitchell
Hunt the eggs to find the clues to discover what the very first Easter was all about. I’m hoping that children will get eggcited about finding the clues and setting up their own egg hunt – but even more eggcited about discovering who Jesus is and why He came.
Helen Thorne:
Short Course in Women’s Ministry
This will be the newest of The Good Book College’s short courses. 10 sessions of top tips that will encourage all Christian women to roll up their sleeves and get involved in evangelizing and discipling their female friends.
Tim Thornborough:
Questions Christians Ask (coming soon)
I've been aware for a long time that there are all kinds of issues about Christian belief and living that believers struggle with. After Easter we are planning to release the first few volumes in a new series called Questions Christians ask on the subjects of death, the devil and the Holy Spirit. Praying that they will be of significant help and encouragement to ordinary believers with big questions.
