The Prince Of Peace In A World Of Wars: Applying the Message Of God’s Love to a Needy World by David Kerrigan
The biblical title: ‘The Prince of Peace’ leaves us in no doubt that God’s purpose in Jesus Christ is to bring peace – universal peace, both with God and with our neighbours. But have we really understood what this peace might look like, especially in a world of wars and suffering? David Kerrigan sees the coming of Jesus at Christmas as central to the divine plan to bring peace to the world.

Holding On When You Want to Let Go: Clinging to Hope When Life is Falling Apart by Sheila Walsh
Are you struggling today? Are you stuck in the middle of a mess because life has not turned out as you expected? Are you holding on…..but not sure how much longer you can? With great compassion born of experience and hardship, Sheila Walsh comes alongside the hurting, fearful and exhausted to remind us that we serve a God who is so much greater than our momentary troubles, no matter how insurmountable they feel. She doesn’t offer a quick fix. She offers a God fix. Sharing from her own painful struggles and digging deep into biblical stories of rescue, hope and miracles, she gives you the strength to keep going to keep holding on to God in a world turned upside down.
