ReSource is delighted to announce the publication of Alison Morgan’s new book, The Word on the Wind: renewing confidence in the gospel. A sequel to The Wild Gospel, The Word on the Wind carries a foreword by Rowan Williams and an introduction by Martin Cavender. The official launch will take place at the Newcastle Diocese’s forthcoming clergy conference next month. For more information or to order a copy, please see www.resource-arm.net/pub.html#book
- “A hugely important book. Encouraging, uplifting and inspiring, it offers a vision of how each one of us can regain and maintain our confidence in the Gospel” – Dr Paula Gooder
- “Alison Morgan’s writing is so winsome that it’s easy to be caught up in the beauty of what she’s saying before you realise she’s just smacked you between the eyes with a piece of two-by-four. This new book presents a deeply radical message in the most eloquent and seductive manner. You’ve been warned!” – Michael Frost, author of The Shaping of Things to Come
- “The Word on the Wind is prayer that has been distilled by a powerful and poetic mind. Never abstract and never shallow, it brings the fountain-fresh water of the Spirit to an age that’s dry, and sick of dusty answers.” – Bishop Paul Bayes
- “Alison Morgan yearns to help others step into all God has for them, and this book will do just that. Peppered with stories of changed lives, this book will inspire and challenge. You gotta read it!” Mark Russell, Church Army
If you haven’t seen it, we would also like to commend to you ReSource’s new evangelism course by Roger Morgan, Beautiful Lives – sharing our faith with friends and neighbours. Based on Roger’s many years of experience in mission and evangelism, this is a group course which helps church members develop the confidence to share their faith naturally and effectively. 1 Peter 3.2-4 speaks of the beauty and reverence which should characterise our lives as Christians, and Roger believes that it is beautiful lives, lived in the power of the Holy Spirit, which lead others to faith. The course is contained in a Leader’s Manual, with a separate group member’s booklet containing notes and simple homework exercises. It consists of 8 sessions, offered in a user friendly format with plenty of interaction and discussion, and points towards an accessible, locally planned invitation event to be held after the completion of the course. People who have tried it so far have been astonished to find themselves holding unforced, friendly conversations with non-Christians about their faith – usually in response to their questions!
