It reminds us of loneliness and pain. While this certainly is the experience of 'solitude' for many people, there is also the positive side: the chance to be alone and rest in God's presence, the peace and quiet we may find there. Quiet Spaces: Solitude looks at the theme of 'solitude' from a variety of angles. Bringing together insights from the Bible, poetry, music, personal experience and more, Solitude features Sister Wendy Beckett discussing the call to a solitary life, Jennifer Rees Larcombe on living alone, the story of John Bunyan, as well as writers sharing personal experience of retreats. Quiet Spaces: Solitude is ideal for Retreat and Quiet Day reading. It can also be used for private devotionals and alongside a regular Bible reading routine. Those looking for spirituality and devotional reading may find it useful. The poems and prayers make it ideal for use in groups.

Such hope may mean encountering God as consoling presence in the darkness, as well as one who challenges us to respond to his call. That call may prove to be costly but, in responding, we are transformed by discovering and rediscovering that we are known exactly as we are, yet still loved beyond understanding, as God’s precious children. In a series of Bible reflections - and some poems - this hope is explored in different ways, from the yearning of the psalmist to walking the gentle journey of the Good Shepherd’s leading.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49527636001041,"sku":"GOR008235279","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49779442843921,"sku":"GOR008782602","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52818407719185,"sku":"GOR014628117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0857464175.jpg?v=1751451352"},{"product_id":"recovery-of-joy-book-naomi-starkey-9780857465184","title":"The Recovery of Joy","description":"This book weaves story and Bible reflection to trace a journey that begins in rootlessness and despair and takes a wanderer across the sea to a series of islands.

And - why are we not surprised? - there he is again, ahead of us, waiting. Although it is barely dawn, there is light enough to see his face, recognise his smile. The shadows have gone, for this in-between time, anyway. When he speaks, we know his voice although we cannot place his accent. Five words; a question: \"What do you really want?\"' Some people like to be taken on mystery tours; others prefer to have a clear idea of where they are going, and why, and how long it will take, and where they will stop for lunch. This book is, in some ways, a bit of a mystery tour, inspired in part by (although in no way claiming parity with) classic Christian dream texts such as Pilgrim's Progress, Piers Plowman and The Great Divorce, and also by the whole rich tradition of storytelling as a way of exploring aspects of faith and truth. It begins in a city, evoking the stress and demands endemic to life in today's busy, predominantly urban culture. It also ends in the same city, but this city now reverberates with a little of the imagery of the city of God, the new Jerusalem, which scripture promises us is our final home. In between, the narrative takes us to explore a curious yet safe place, a mysterious house of many rooms where questions can be asked, experiences shared and the search for healing begun. Using story, reflection on Bible passages and quotations for further thought from a range of Christian writers, the trajectory of the book is from emptiness and despair to certain hope, from confusion through penitence to the great joy of forgiving and receiving forgiveness. A constant theme is the interplay between God's unmerited grace and mercy and our human failings; at the heart of the story is the meaning of love - on the one hand, our hunger for it and our often weary search to find and secure it, and on the other hand, God's breathtaking love for us, his children, expressed supremely in the birth, life, sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus. The good news that we have been given to share is that the world's hunger for love can be met only in God's neverending embrace. Before that hunger can be understood, however, one question must be pondered and eventually answered: what do we really want? What do you really want? It is time to begin.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49592676024593,"sku":"GOR004966613","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53438767825169,"sku":"GOR012443213","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841018929.jpg?v=1750724684"},{"product_id":"morning-book-naomi-starkey-9781841015408","title":"Morning","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49601177944337,"sku":"GOR002848660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841015407.jpg?v=1751378363"},{"product_id":"new-daylight-book-naomi-starkey-9781841013787","title":"New Daylight","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49601840414993,"sku":"GOR002634502","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841013781.jpg?v=1750724679"},{"product_id":"new-daylight-deluxe-edition-september-december-2015-book-naomi-starkey-9780857461339","title":"New Daylight Deluxe edition September-December 2015","description":"New Daylight offers four months of daily Bible reading and reflection for everybody who wants to go deeper with God.

Richard Fisher writes As the front cover shows, this issue marks the 25th anniversary of New Daylight. It's a milestone of special significance to me, as the launch of New Daylight in November 1988 was one of the first events that I was involved in, having joined BRF the previous month. The launch issue caused a real stir with its arresting cover image of a female coal miner! The January-April 1989 issue of New Daylight brought a completely fresh, new approach. It replaced BRF's Daylight series, which, in 1979, had replaced the original Series B notes, first launched in 1929.  The vision for New Daylight came from its first editor, Shelagh Brown. Shelagh wanted to develop a relationship with the readers. In the past, the Bible readings had been written anonymously, but Shelagh drew together a team of regular contributors and included brief biographies so that readers could get a sense of who they were. Many have told us, over the years since, that they felt they knew those who wrote the notes. Another innovation was that New Daylight was the first Bible reading notes series in the UK to include the printed Bible passage for each day. Some were concerned that this might discourage readers from looking up the passage in their own Bible. However, Shelagh's idea was to make it easy for people to take New Daylight with them, to read on the bus or train, at work, or on holiday; so it made sense for each issue to be self-contained. In addition, she pointed out that you couldn't assume any longer that everyone actually had a Bible of their own. Over the last 25 years, New Daylight has only had three editors. Shelagh continued until her untimely death in June 1997. At that point, with absolutely no notice, David Winter, who had joined the writing team several years before, very kindly agreed to take on the role. He stepped down at the end of 2001, whereupon Naomi Starkey became editor alongside her role as commissioning editor for BRF books. New Daylight continues to be BRF's flagship publication and one of the UK's bestselling Bible reading notes series. It continues to reflect the heart of BRF's vision: to connect people with God and resource their spiritual journey. As one reader recently put it, New Daylight brings us the treasures in the word of God each day. Richard Fisher, Chief Executive In this issue: The Beatitudes: 'How happy are you...!'
