New release from Tom Wright:

Virtue Reborn            

Tom Wright tackles this fundamental challenge for Christians with characteristic clarity and verve. Following on from his popular best-selling books Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope he sees the goal in terms of the whole new creation, with humans renewed to look after it.

Wright explores the way to become fully human - and to discover an authenticity, and a conformity with God's purposes, which is available no other way.

"this book is an essential tool for any Christian working with children."
Paul Cameron (SUNI Primary Schools Co-ordinator)

RSP £6.99
February price £5.95 (15% discount)
 

We specialise in:
Bible Reading Notes
Sunday School materials
Children's & Youth resources
Bibles & Commentaries
General books / CDs / DVDs

So whatever your role in the Church...children's worker or youth worker, minister or Church member, parent or child...we have something worth having a look at.

 Rob says, "Today's teenagers are experiencing things that previous generations didn't - like the growth of technology, an expanding debt culture, the incredible pressure to be thin if you are a girl or muscular if you are a boy. These days it isn't enough to be an ace footballer - you have to be a good-looking ace footballer.  All these pressures make life much harder for teens and their parents."

Teenagers! What Every Parent Has to Know will include:

• Understanding what's going on in your teenager's brain
• Why reading your child's school report can fool you
• Keys for dealing with the really testing teenager
• The big issues: sex, drugs, self-esteem
• Why teenage boys sometimes act as though they hate their mothers
• Danger signs for teenage high achievers

 The event runs from 7.30pm - 10pm. For further information or to book, call (028) 9262 8050 or visit online at www.careforthefamily.org.uk/teenagers

The night includes a two course chinese meal, table quiz and an opportunity to hear some of the stories and about the project's progress so far.

Tickets are £20 per person, so why not get together with a few friends and make up a quiz team for a night of food fun and fellowship.

For a ticket contact Rachel, Ballymena E3 Schools Worker

One of the most respected evangelical leaders in the world today - Gordon MacDonald has agreed to be the keynote speaker.  There will also be a team of speakers to help wrestle with issues following three main streams - personal spirituality, leadership and church.
