All Is Not Loss: the spirituality of grief.
Seasons of LifeGrief is not a rare visitor - it is a quiet companion, woven into the fabric of everyday life. From birth to death, loss shadows us, often just beneath the surface. In this deeply compassionate book, Duncan MacLaren explores the many faces of grief - not only bereavement, but also the quieter sorrows of parting, regret, failure, nostalgia, and shame. With insight and sensitivity, he invites us to reconsider grief not as a sign of a broken world, but as a doorway to deeper connection, understanding, and spiritual growth. Ten chapters examine aspects of loss that are widely recognised: parting, regret, nostalgia, failure, bereavement, shame, ageing, dependence, mortality, and disenchantment. Far from offering easy answers, All is Not Loss draws on the lived experiences of those who have been profoundly marked by loss - and yet have found their lives unexpectedly expanded. MacLaren offers a hopeful vision: that even in our pain, we may discover that all is not loss.£14.99 -
Restoring the Shamed: towards a theology of shame
Scripture & Prayer, Spiritual Growth, The Inner JourneyShame has many faces. From the pressing need to avoid "losing face" to the urge to scapegoat and blame, from the desire to exclude those who are different to the horrors of ethnic cleansing, from the obsession with body image to the abiding terrors of the abused, shame is a universal phenomenon. It transcends boundaries of time and is evident in diverse cultures across the world. It is, furthermore, found throughout the pages of Scripture, yet in modern theology shame is conspicuous by its absence. This book attempts to redress the balance by exploring the theology of shame, from its inception in the garden of Eden, to the final triumph over shame on the cross. Restoring the Shamed will offer readers the opportunity to think theologically about one of the most urgent, yet strangely secret, issues of contemporary society.£20.00 -
God Isn’t Finished With You Yet: life lessons on not giving up.
Everyday LifeWhen life is tough and we seem to have reached a dead end, it's easy to feel as if God has given up on us. We are not alone in feeling like this. Catherine Campbell vividly retells the stories of real people from the Bible with difficult and sometimes painful lives, who struggled to see God's path for them. Abigail was trapped in marriage to a fool. John Mark ran away from his friends. The Samaritan woman faced shame in the society of her day. Judah sinned against Tamar and Joseph. Simeon and Anna had the challenges of old age. But God hadn't finished with any of them. With Life Lessons reflections to encourage us to respond biblically to our own life circumstances, and questions for personal reflection or group discussion, Catherine Campbell helps us see what the Bible tells us “God isn't finished with you yet!"£9.99 -
