With material from both classic and contemporary spiritual writings, "Resources for Preaching and Worship" complements the lectionary readings for Sundays and important festival days in the church's year. Biblical and thematic indexes are included.

Bringing together over 5,000 sayings, The Lion Quotation Collection is an absorbing anthology of wit and wisdom which draws on some of the most influential and inspiring thinkers of the past two millennia. The main body of the book is arranged chronologically, enabling the reader to gain easy access to each thinker's most memorable sayings, and to compare their views with those of their contemporaries. Readers who want to pursue a particular theme can do so by referring to the index of over 500 subjects, while those who want to look up specific quotations can also turn to the comprehensive index of key words.

This ecumenical collection of prayers, liturgies and rituals seeks to illustrate the impressive creativity fo liturgy from the ground up - from congregations, groups and individuals struggling to come to terms with change and all the celebration and loss which that involves. A wealth of human experiences is explored and expressed through experimental rituals: expressions of god, namings, affirming relationships, separating, dying, grieving, healing, retirement, abortion, miscarriage, and much more. It is hoped that this anthology will imspire and enable others to construct their own liturgies, rituals, blessings and prayers. Hannah Ward and Jennifer Wild are former members of Anglican religious orders. They are co-founders of Womanpsace, a spritituality programme. Their book Guard the Chaos: Finding Meaning in Change was published in 1995.
