In a series of forty meditations, one for each day of Lent David Adam reflects on the life of Moses in the book of Exodus. The story of this great leader provides inspiration for us to follow the Israelites' example - to launch out into new adventures, freeing others and ourselves from slavery and seeking God's Promised Land. We are encouraged to step out of the familiar and to risk the desert; to leave that which captivates us and to move forward. Containing a Scripture reading, a short meditation, and a prayer for each day of Lent, thisis a book to challenge our relationship to the world, to each other and to our God. It will stretch our vision and ourselves so that we may positively reach forward to freedom.

Healing is needed only when we are sick, and is offered by an elite of specially trained experts. Michael Mitton challenges these and many other myths and misconceptions about healing and the healing ministry. He describes a very different understanding of healing, placing it at the centre of all our lives and of the communities in which we live. He shows that healing is a shared journey in which the healer is often the one who is in need, and the person who is sick is often the one ministering to the healer. He also wrestles with the mystery of a God who sometimes cures - and who sometimes doesn't cure.

In this book Frances M. Young begins by exploring the desert spirituality of the early Church Fathers, and develops in this and other ways their approach to the Bible.
