Bible Delight
It has been wisely said that the Psalter is a spiritual cardiograph. The more I am at home in the Psalms, the healthier my spiritual condition. This is especially true of Psalm 119. The way we are to delight in the Lord and feed on Him, is to delight in, and feed on His Word. The heart-beat of spiritual contentment is to cry with the Psalmist - "Oh, how I love your law". It is always a wonderful tonic when a fairly familiar passage of the Bible is faithfully taught and explained with fresh understanding and application. Christopher Ash opens up Psalm 119 so that heart, mind and will are touched with the result, which he intends, that we can understand it, feel it and sing it. I simply loved Bible Delight and it will enrich Quiet Times much more than the 22 days suggested.

Lives Jesus Changed
"One of the ways in which Matthew, Mark and Luke's Gospels differ from John is that they recount Jesus speaking to crowds, whereas in John, we have many private interviews and conversations. This is the realm that Simon Vibert has marvellously mined in Lives Jesus Changed. Quite rightly the emphasis is not so much on the characters themselves but rather at the Lord Jesus and what He was - and is -able to do in numerous lives. Each chapter is very accessible and heart-warming."

Singing the Songs of Jesus
"It has been wisely said that the Psalter is a spiritual cardiograph. The Psalms accurately reflect our spiritual health. The more I am 'at home' in singing the Psalms, the spiritually fitter I am. Uniquely in the Bible, the Psalms both speak to us - Luther derived much of his theology from the Psalter, - and also speak for us. They are the God-given words with which we can address both our Heavenly Father and each other. Michael LeFebvre's book is both scholarly and readable, and provides a wonderful incentive to 'Sing the Psalms, again'."
