Facing Death: Bible readings for special times
£3.99
This collection of 18 undated reflections draws comfort and encouragement from the Bible and from the author’s own experience for those going through life-limiting illness and for their family and carers. With moving vulnerability and without denying the difficult reality of the situation, Rachel Boulding suggests a way to confront terminal illness with faith and hope in a loving God. Facing Death grew out of the overwhelming response to Rachel’s Bible notes in New Daylight (May-August 2016).
Readers recognised in her comments her courage to be authentic in the face of terminal illness, her appropriate vulnerability and her faith.

Living the Autumn of Life: walking through retirement beginnings and endings
Influences & Suggested Reading, Seasons of Life, The Inner Journey
Living well post-retirement
Autumn is a time of gains and losses: fruit being harvested, and leaves falling. This book charts the experience of living through both realities, drawn from the author’s own life and from the views of interviewees. Informed by historic and contemporary reading, it offers snapshots of later life, taken against a backdrop of ageism in society and church. George Lings reflects on the identity of the ‘active elderly’, and considers through a biblical lens the challenges and opportunities that this season brings.

Bereavement: Bible readings for special times
Daily Readings, Seasons of Life
This book of 24 undated reflections draws comfort and inspiration from the Bible and from experience for those who are going through a time of bereavement, as well as providing insight for those wanting to support others who are bereaved. Jean Watson suggests how it might feel to get through the dark days and to move, however slowly, from `getting by' with help, to `getting a life' in which living with loss goes alongside the gains in terms of new insights on faith and life and a greater ability to empathise with others.

The Journey of a Pilgrim: Prayer and reflections on a journey with God through the seasons of life
Seasons of Life, The Inner Journey
Prayer and reflections on a journey with God through the seasons of life.
In her introduction, Valerie Hicks writes:
'These prayers and reflections are the outcome of a journey that began in September 2008. I had just begun a three-month period of study leave. I was spiritually in a wilderness, but during this time of study, and prayer, I began this new journey with God. Wherever you are on your journey with God may you find the reflections of help.'

Sabbath Time: A hermitage journey of retreat, return, communion
Seasons of Life, The Inner Journey
'A serious health breakdown in my thirties, where I spent over six months in recovery, made me aware of the need for greater balance in my life. Yet since then, I have continued to do too much, say “yes” instead of “no” too often, and I have struggled to set aside time for rest, prayer and reflection. But finally, after a year of thought and planning, I decided to take a whole six months off...'
From the Author Preface
Description
Being left alone to embark on a reflective journey is a great gift – particularly in our age, where remaining connected is such a driving expectation. Charles decided to take a whole six months off and to spend much of this time in a hermitage on friends’ property.
To enter a space of disconnection is both a scary and an exhilarating experience. And to 'down' tools and be still without an agenda of expectations is wonderfully open and freeing. It is also walking into mystery. Who knows what might happen?
