        Just Love

        A journey of self-acceptance

        by Jayne Ozanne

        From one of the UK's most widely-respected gay evangelicals comes a powerful faith memoir of overcoming inner conflict and taking a stand against one of the greatest institutional injustices of our time. Just Love is the autobiography of Jayne Ozanne, a prominent gay Anglican, who struggled for over 40 years to reconcile her faith with her sexuality before becoming one of the leading figures that is ushering in a new era of LGBTI acceptance in the Church. Jayne’s story includes: a faith journey in which she became a founding member of the Church of England’s Archbishops’ Council, working in charities she has set up that has taken her from the White House to the jungles of Burma; studying as a Visiting Research Fellow at Oxford University to working alongside international figures such as Tony Blair and the Vicar of Baghdad; becoming hospitalised as she attempted to find ‘healing’ from her sexuality, and then ostracised by many Christians after she finally decided she had no choice but to come out; becoming a high-profile campaigner for LGBTI acceptance in the Church and helping to lead the revolt in the General Synod that overturned the House of Bishops’ report on same-sex marriage. Jayne’s story serves as a lifeline for LGBTI Christians struggling to reconcile their faith with their sexuality.

        A Pleasant Year With Father Brown

        365 readings in the company of the detective and priest

        by Stephen Poxon

        Father Brown is a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective who featured in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936 written by English novelist GK Chesterton. For this volume Stephen Poxon has selected episodes which are as telling as they are entertaining, and which direct the reader’s thoughts to matters beyond the storyline. Father Brown’s affectionate but incisive manner again and again drills through the preoccupations of the day to make a valuable point about our spiritual path. Each of the 365 readings in this delightful anthology is preceded by a Bible verse and followed by a prayer.

        Gypsies and Jesus

        A Traveller Theology

        by Steven Horne

        ** This title will be released on June 30th but is now available for pre-order ** For over five hundred years, Gypsies, Roma and Travellers have been persecuted, misrepresented, enslaved and even murdered in whatever land they reside, and there is a deep ignorance of the absolute centrality of religious conviction at the heart of GRT communities. Steven Horne’s Gypsies and Jesus lights the touchpaper on the grace-filled, intimate and unheard core of GRT religiosity that is Traveller Theology. This is a field of study that has long been dominated by non-GRT voices. In this book Dr Horne attempts to take back the pen and reclaim a past and a future for Gypsies and Travellers. Gypsies and Jesus: A Traveller Theology identifies and threads cultural strands (beliefs and customs, narratives and histories, and rituals and traditions) from Gypsy and Traveller culture into a coherent message that speaks of collective piety and cultural purity. Testimonies from members of the GRT community develop this message further. All of these factors are supported with a biblical exegesis to produce an exciting, revelatory and at times sobering book that, for perhaps the first time, hands over the reins of Gypsy-Christian identity to Gypsies themselves.

        Queer Holiness

        The Gift of LGBTQI People to the Church

        by Charlie Bell

        LGBTQI people in the church have spent a long time being told what God expects of them and how they should behave. From prohibitions on who they might love or marry, to erasure and denial, the theological record is one in which LGBTQI people are far too often objectified and their lives seen as the property of others. In no other significant religious question are ‘theological’ arguments made that so clearly reject overwhelming scientific and experiential knowledge about the human person. This book seeks to find a better way to do theology – not about, but with and of LGBTQI people – taking insights from the sciences and personal narratives as it seeks to answer the question: ‘What does human flourishing look like?’

        by Naomi Lawson Jacobs, Richardson

        ** This title is available for pre-order and will be released on July 29th ** Based on extensive research, Naomi Lawson Jacobs and Emily Richardson have collected prophetic and transformative narratives of experience, shared directly by disabled people who have rarely been enabled to speak in Christian books about disability. By centering disabled Christians’ own stories, this book calls for churches to move from a care-based approach to disability, to one that is focused on justice, equality and access to churches for disabled Christians.

        The Audacity of Peace

        by Scot McKnight

        My Theology The world’s leading Christian thinkers explain some of the principal tenets of their theological beliefs. ‘Peace is worth fighting for,’ writes Scot McKnight. ‘I don’t witness to peace to win the world but to offer a Christian alternative to the 155 million deaths in twentieth-century wars. This small book records some of my journey.’ Growing up in the Viet Nam era, living through periods of American conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, and engaging with the ethics of war, gun control, the death penalty, abortion, and the inhumane treatment of prisoners, McKnight has developed a peace ethic that embodies the self-denial ethic of Jesus and demonstrates that warring and the Christian faith are incompatible. The Audacity of Peace describes his journey, with reference to key thinkers who have influenced him along the way.

        Walking with Jesus in Strange Places

        by John Swinton

        My Theology: The world’s leading Christian thinkers explain some of the principal tenets of their theological beliefs. ‘Why does someone find a great peace when I simply hold their hand?’ ‘Would Jesus really reject someone from heaven because he wasn’t able to proclaim his name?’ ‘What does it mean to know God without words?’ John Swinton’s early years working as a nurse among people with intellectual disabilities presented him with profound questions that sowed the seeds for his future life as one of the most important figures in the development of disability theology and the relationship between spirituality and health. Here, he explores the nature of faithfulness and discipleship in relation to disability and mental health, and asks exactly what kind of community the Church should be, in both theory and in practice.

        Green Theology

        An eco-feminist and ecumenical perspective

        by Trees van Montfoort

        Green Theology is an urgent, far-reaching Christian theological reconsideration of the relationship between God, creation, nature, and human beings. Trees van Montfoort demonstrates that Ecological Theology is not a sub-discipline of Theology but a rediscovery of Theology, focused not only on God and people, but all of creation. Drawing on the perspectives of eco-theologians from around the world, this is a ground-breaking book that redefines the scope of Theology for a world in urgent need of answers. In five chapters, van Montfoort discusses Theology and Sustainability, The different worldview of the Bible, Issues in Eco-theology, Insights from Eco-feminist Theology worldwide, and the lessons of Christology and Anthropology. The ecological crisis demands new ways of thinking, doing, and believing. Green Theology is an indispensable book for anyone who wants to connect sustainability and faith, theology and ecology.

        God of Surprises - NEW 2022 EDITION

        by Gerard W. Hughes

        ** Over 250,000 copies sold ** Jesus said, ‘The kingdom of God is like a treasure hidden in a field’. God of Surprises shows how we can find that treasure in the most unlikely of places – ourselves. Written for ‘bewildered, confused and disillusioned Christians’ as a guide for the inner spiritual journey in which we are all engaged, God of Surprises has much to say to those who have a love/hate relationship with the Church to which they belong or once belonged. This is an unforgettable book that has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of readers. God of Surprises is also available as a course study package for groups, ideal for Lent use. Each pack includes an audio cassette and ten copies of the accompanying booklet. The booklet includes extracts from the original book plus new material written by Hughes for the course, and ends with suggestions for different ways of praying. The 2022 edition of this evergreen classic comes with a new foreword written by Margaret Silf and is presented in paperback with a contemporary cover design and French flaps.

        Mediation and the Immediate God

        Scriptures, the Church, and Knowing God

        by Edith M. Humphrey

        ** This title is available for pre-order - it will be released in October 2022 ** Mediation and the Immediate God pursues a long-debated question: how we can say both that God has a direct relationship with each Christian, and that He uses others in order to bring us to health and glory? Edith M. Humphrey explores the ubiquity of mediation in the Christian life, and in life in general, as well as the paradox of mediation alongside the Christian confidence that each of us can be directly ‘taught by God’ because of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Mediation, says Humphrey, is understood best as an ecclesial matter (showing the nature of the Church) rather than in the context of a soteriological debate.

        Living with the homeless

        by Roger Quick

        God give me a beautiful home. That is what a child wrote, having just learned about the work of St George’s Crypt, which looks after the people of Leeds who don’t have any home, let alone a beautiful one. They come to the Crypt when there is nowhere left to go, no one else to turn to. Like more than a third of his colleagues, Roger Quick first came to the Crypt in need of help himself. Decades later he came back as its chaplain, and every day since then he has been moved by the courage and insight, borne of great suffering, shown by those who still pass through its doors. In Sheltering Saints he tells their stories, full of tears and laughter, pain and compassion.
