    Prayers for OCD : Understanding and healing

    , , ,
    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not well understood by most people. It is sometimes the subject of jokes. To those who suffer it, it is definitely no laughing matter. It can jeopardise your job, your relationships and gives you no peace of mind. This book seeks to shed light on the condition, both for those who have it and for others. Its pages explore different aspects of the condition and its treatment. Each one is accompanied by a prayer. The book is divided into two sections. Part A is for those with OCD, Part B for family, friends and the wider community. When praying for someone, you may wish to insert their name, or the pronoun he or she. There is a list of resources at the end, and pages for your own prayers. Half the royalties from this book will go to OCD-UK.

    Beauty’s Field: seeing the world

    As the leader of the World Community for Christian Meditation, Laurence Freeman's calling takes him all over the world to teach and lead groups who want to practice contemplative prayer. In this spiritual travel memoir, he recounts timeless, memorable and moving stories of people, places and events in which he has encountered God 's transformative presence. The title of the book comes from a Shakespeare sonnet and the book explores how the life of God can be found in the most unlikely places, not only in the world's beauty but even in its tragedy. Slum priests quietly bringing hope to the favelas of Brazil, the gloriously fat stone ladies of Malta which are the world's oldest depictions of God, the different effects of a mountain-top retreat on an investment banker, a tired social worker and a cancer patient, the impact of a child's death on a whole community - these and many more stories movingly reveal how the sacred strains to find expression in every life, every place, every day.

    God Created Humanism: the Christian basis of secular values

    ,
    In this compelling account of the origins and evolution of our secular worldview, Theo Hobson shows how Christian values continue to underpin our public morality, how faith remains indispensable to Western humanism, and how atheistic humanism represents a dead end. At the same time, he offers a timely warning against the dangers of a religious-secular culture war, given the radically politicized and destructive forms of religion endemic in the world todayHere is a fresh and provocative argument about religion and politics - but one that doesn't fit into the normal boxes. It suggests that although the public creed of the West is best described as `secular humanism' we can only really understand and affirm secular humanism if we see how firmly it is based on Christian norms and values. If we don't, the West is divided: mired in a stagnant stand-off between fundamentalist atheism and an equally hard-line Christian theism. This book offers a more nuanced and historically more persuasive way forward, showing just how much our secular morality owes to Christianity, and how it can only find coherence through a new and positive view of its origins.

    Faith and Politics after Christendom: the Church as a movement for anarchy

    ,
    This groundbreaking book examines the anarchic aspects of Jesus' message, and suggests that the demise of the church as pillar of social order gives it a fresh opportunity to exercise its prophetic role - challenging injustice, shaking institutions and undermining some of the central values and norms on which post-Christian society is built.

    Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World

    , ,
    In the midst of a massive unraveling where the churches find themselves disoriented and paralyzed, this book invites leaders to embrace three practices formed out of God’s engagements with God’s people in Scripture and our traditions that direct us toward forming communities of hope. “Here we stand in misbelief at the collapsing of the institutions that have formed our lives. Gladly, Al Roxburgh and Roy Searle offer us hope. Their book Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling reminds us that God is still present and acting, that God has given us practices to join with him in the forming of his people anew. Forming Communities is a riveting masterpiece written to churches seeking a path forward in our times of disillusion and decline.” - David Fitch, Lindner Chair of Evangelical Theology, Northern Seminary, Chicago “When church leaders with a lifetime of experience ask awkward questions about how we do things, you probably need to pay attention. Al Roxburgh and Roy Searle have seen the church go from a dominant cultural force to marginal curiosity and ask how we might now be an effective spiritual presence in today’s world. Instead of trying to fix things by clever techniques they take us back to some key Bible narratives and the insights of Christians of earlier generations. It’s a book that may challenge you at a deep existential level, while offering accessible examples of attitudes and practices that can be lifegiving for both leaders and communities.” - John Drane, author The McDonaldization of the Church

    When the Church Harms God’s People : Becoming Faith Communities That Resist Abuse, Pursue Truth, and Care for the Wounded

    , , , ,
    Christianity Today 2025 Book Award (Church/Pastoral Leadership)  "A heartbreaking but necessary book."--Christianity Today Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg has come face to face with the crushing trauma of sexual abuse, trafficking, domestic abuse, and rape--and its cover-up. Even more tragic, she has encountered it all within Christian communities and the church. As a highly respected trauma scholar and psychologist working in the United States and around the world for more than 50 years, she envisions a better way. In When the Church Harms God's People, Langberg unveils what she has learned about how churches cause harm and why Christian communities often foster unhealthy leaders who end up hurting rather than protecting God's people. She also offers hope for the future, describing how churches can reflect Christ not just in what they teach but also in how they care for themselves and others. This book is an invaluable tool for leaders and laypeople alike who want to help the church resist abuses of power and become a safe place for survivors.
