Imagine reading a book that is so much more than written words on a page but, instead, it is an invitation to experience exuberant joy! Simply imagine the sweet hope that comes from reading about the patience, the gladness and the excitement that is nestled within one woman's heart. Imagine! You have just imagined the devotional book entitled, ''Joy for All Seasons'' written by best-selling author, blogger, speaker, radio host, TV host and Bible teacher, Carol McLeod. Carol's perspective on life serves as an invitation to live life with gusto and at full-throttle! Her capacity for joy and her resolve to trumpet the bidding to embrace joy in every week of the year is not for the faint of heart. This weekly summons into His presence is filled with rich experiences, with heart-felt celebration and with an intimate knowledge of what it takes to walk with God. ''Joy for All Seasons'' is a weekly devotional that includes Bible verses to consider and questions to ponder. It is perfect for a personal devotional handbook or for group discussion. This is a ''once-in-a-lifetime'' book that will be read and re-read year after year after year.

Vols. for 1898-1968 include a directory of publishers.

This Benedictine prayer companion presents a modern reworking of the ancient monastic practice of praying at set hours. For each season of the Christian Year, it provides eight short, simple prayer outlines, complete with readings: • Waking as an occasion for praise • Discernment at the beginning of the day • Wisdom for the mid-morning reflection • Perseverance at midday • Love as a focus of the afternoon • Forgiveness as the day closes • An invitation to Trust at bedtime • Midnight at the time to Watch Everything needed to follow the pattern of prayer is printed out in full, including scripture readings, short meditations, quotations from Christian writings, hymn texts and questions for reflection. Daily Prayer for All Seasons originated in the Episcopal Church of America (where it is authorised by the General Convention) and was compiled by a diverse team of priests, liturgists, writers and lay men and women. Bishop John Pritchard introduces this UK edition.

An invaluable resource to enrich the Service of the Word in the Common Worship range, The Word for All Seasons provides complete liturgies for Sunday services, all-age worship, and other non-eucharistic occasions throughout the Christian year. Worship material is provided for every Sunday, for major holy days and for special festivals such as harvest and Mothering Sunday. The liturgies contain a wealth of resources which may be used as they stand or extracted for use elsewhere. They may be photocopied or downloaded from the free accompanying disk (in Word format) and they include a seasonal or reflective introduction, opening sentences, expanded penitential prayers, gospel responses, intercessions and blessings. They arc applicable for use in years A, B and C. A welcome aid for clergy, readers and worship leaders, The Mrd for All Seasons will prove its practical worth time and time again.
