Revolution of Character - Dallas Willard
Ref: 137
with Don Simpson.
Heart, mind, social life and soul, God is ready to transform every aspect of your life. Dallas Willard believes the main reason we fail in our spiritual life is that we don't examine carefully the roles played by all the above mentioned five elements of our person. Real change comes when we give each element thoughtful and prayerful exposure to God's transforming work. Revolution of character allows you to dwell reflectively on each of the five elements, understand its role, train it in new patterns and seek God's transforming power.
This holistic approach will produce new ways of responding to life and will result in profoundly changed character.

Return of the Prodigal Son - Henri Nouwen
Ref: 139
A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt's 'The Return of the Prodigal Son' catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Henri looks deeply and identifies elements of himself in the different characters portrayed in the story:
Firstly there is the younger son and many of us could see either ourselves or someone we know and care for in this rebellious character.
The elder brother is a character who embodies bitterness and resentment, plus a sense of injustice. Here too Henri is shocked to see elements of his own personality vividly conveyed in this person.
Finally the father figure challenges us to love unreservedly as God the Father loves us.
The themes of homecoming, affirmation and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy and anger.

Blessed be Your Name - Matt and Beth Redman
Ref: 140
Many of us have sung with gusto 'Blessed Be Your Name' and benefited from its faith-filled words, but few of us would be aware of the story behind the writing of this powerful anthem. Matt and Beth would not have been able to write this song without enduring their own pain.
This book describes some of what they suffered and how a loving God consoled them through His Word. They also teach us to praise God even in the face of pain and hardship. Difficult circumstances can either push us closer to God or drive us away from Him. The choice is ours, but by learning to ride out the storms of life we can say;
'Blessed be your name, Lord' and truly mean what we say.

ROAR! - Heather Kopp
Ref: 141
with David Kopp.
If you've already been to Narnia, it's never too soon or too late to return. Did you read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as a child and can still recall what it felt like to follow Lucy into the snowy woods? Have you stayed up late with college friends musing on metaphors like the Stone Table or Deep Magic? Then now's the perfect time to revisit the books and invite the next generation of readers along. ROAR! is a book for grown-ups and kids who want to travel deeper into every Chronicle; who want more out of each character, story, and spiritual allusion; who like best to talk, laugh, and imagine

The Vision and The Vow - Pete Greig
Ref: 142
More than 2 million people (mostly young people) have read this Vision and I can easily understand why. It is one of the most powerful, God - inspiring pieces of poetry that I have seen for some time. It challenges young people to the Christian life in a straight forward, no frills, easy to understand language - Here is a little taster:
'The vision is an army of young people.
You see bones?
I see an army.
And they are free from materialism.
They laugh at 9-5 little prisons.
They could eat caviar on Monday and crusts on Tuesday
They wouldn't even notice.
They know the meaning of the matrix.
The way the West was won.'
Along with tremendous drawings which are splashed graffiti like throughout the book, this vision will motivate and inspire young people to take up their cross and fight for Jesus.
