Stop Dating the Church - Joshua Harris
Ref: 10
We are a generation of consumers, independent and critical. We attend church, but we don't want to settle down and truly invest ourselves. We're not into commitment - we only want to date the church. Is this what God wants for us?
Stop dating the church reminds us that faith was never meant to be a solo pursuit. The church is the place God grows us, encourages us, and uses us best. Loving Jesus Christ involves a passionate commitment to His church - around the world and down the street. In his book, Joshua Harris makes this case with wisdom, clarity and graciousness. Ideal for people who are unsure why they should become members of a local congregation - and for people who have forgotten why they became members in the first place!

Wonders of Creation DVD
Ref: 11
This is an instrumental worship album with a difference: listen to the beautiful arrangements of fifteen praise and worship songs while viewing mountains and valleys, fields and beaches from around Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Peak District, Devon and Cornwall - the wonders of God's Creation. Perfect for when you're at home and feel the need to turn on the TV but know you really ought to be having some quiet time with God. Or if your church uses projection technology, why not put this DVD on before the service begins to encourage the congregation into an attitude of worship?
The fifteen songs include 'Light of the World', 'In Christ Alone' and 'Before the Throne of God Above'. Other similar worship DVDs are also available.

The Gospel-Driven Church - Ian Stackhouse
Ref: 12
This book is an enquiry into the culture of revivalism and the urgent need to retrieve core ministry practices of the church.
Charismatic Renewal has at the core of its ideology an aspiration for revival. This is a laudable aspiration, but in recent years, in the absence of a large-scale evangelistic impact, it has encouraged a faddist mentality among church leaders. The Gospel Driven Church documents this development and the numerous theological and pastoral distortions that take place when genuine revival fervour transmutes into revivalism. Moreover, Stackhouse aims to show how a retrieval of some of the core practices of the church, such as preaching, sacraments, the laying of hands and prayer is essential at this crucial stage in the trajectory of the renewal movement in the UK. He commends to church leaders a recovery of these means of grace - including Spirit baptism - as a way of keeping the church centred on gospel rather than mere pragmatic concerns about size and numbers.

Challenges of the Narrow Way - Bridget Plass
Ref: 13
BRF's Lent book for 2005 encourages readers to acknowledge that God's calling may not be to a comfortable, successful life, with all emotional and material needs fulfilled. Instead, He calls us simply to follow, taking us on a journey that may be hard, lonely and at times dangerous, but one that leads ultimately to 'treasure in heaven'. If we acknowledge our weakness, our fear and our sense of unworthiness, He will give us sufficient strength to carry on, every step of the way. Great Bible reading and comment for the Lent season from this popular author and speaker.
