What others are saying about Tumbling Sky:

"I warmly commend these golden nuggets of spiritual wisdom from the Psalms. Whether you are walking beside quiet waters or through the darkest valley you will find nourishment for your soul." — Vaughan Roberts, Rector of St Ebbe's Church, Oxford

"Gentle and wise, this outstanding devotional is balm for bruised souls. It will slake your thirst, comfort your despair, and enable you to see the love of God afresh." — Tanya Marlow, Author of Coming Back to God When You Feel Empty

"As you read through Matt Searles’ Tumbling Sky Psalms Devotions you’ll be filled with a fresh appreciation for how well God knows your weaknesses, challenges, and trials. He isn’t absent, distant, or unaware. At the same time, you’ll be reminded that in our darkest moments, Jesus himself is reason enough to trust God’s nearness, care, and faithfulness. Even though these Psalms were familiar to me, I greatly benefited from Matt's pastoral and insightful commentary. I have no doubt you will too." — Bob Kauflin, Director of Sovereign Grace Music

"Insightful, honest and wholly Christ-centred, these Psalm devotions shine the light of God's truth and grace into some of the darkest corners of our emotions. They help us to see the joy we can have even in the midst of pain, giving rich comfort, refreshment and hope to the suffering believer." — Sarah Collins, Author of Dealing with Depression: Trusting God Through the Dark Times

If you’re easily distracted when praying, you’re not alone. In fact, if you struggle to pray in the first place, that’s not unusual either. Tim Chester tells us how we can be great pray–ers. And he admits that that’s a really bold claim.

‘The secret of great praying has nothing to do with human effort or skill,’ he explains. ‘Lots of people would like to think that it does because they want to make prayer an achievement.’ But the secret of great praying is … Knowing three things about God:

• That God the Father loves to hear us pray
• That God the Son makes every prayer pleasing to God
• That God the Holy Spirit helps us as we pray

Tim looks at: why prayer is easy (how we pray), why prayer is difficult (why we pray) and the arguments and priorities of prayer (what we pray). Prayer is a child asking her father for help. And that’s not beyond any one of us.

Originally published in 1988, this is a clear and brilliant examination of the evidence for the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Val Grieve was a lawyer and so the evidence is presented with care and due regard for proper procedure. The text has been updated where necessary, making this is a fine book to give to anyone asking questions about the core doctrine of the Christian faith.

Short biographies from the second world war.

Don Stephens has collected moving stories from the Second World War that will enthral and move his readers. As Brigadier Ian Dobbie, OBE says in the Foreword, Don “has the gift of telling a story in a way which grips the reader, and yet he is not guilty of writing in a sensational manner, nor does he fail to remind his reader that war is always a terrible event, and that the God of the Bible remains sovereign.”

The stories range from the South African Air Force war hero who became a vital missionary pilot, to the Scottish lady from quiet Dumfriesshire who was a martyr at Auschwitz, to the German Prisoner of War who found a strong spiritual link with the Wirral.

The eight stories combine to remind readers dramatically that our God is able to use even the dire circumstances for his glory.

Reissued as part of the Hodder Contemporary Classics collection, John Stott’s personal message on the importance of preaching is as relevant and challenging today.

Is preaching dead – or at least dying?

In a digital age, where congregations have unprecedented access to resources, do we still need sermons?

John Stott’s I believe in Preaching has been essential reading for ministers, students and lay preachers for over three decades. Its message is as relevant today as ever.

‘I do believe in preaching. . . I believe that nothing is better calculated to restore health and vitality to the Church or to lead its members into maturity in Christ than a recovery of true, biblical, contemporary preaching.’ – John Stott.

Priorities from Paul and his prayers.

God doesn’t demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules: he only wants his people to know him more intimately,’ says D. A. Carson. ‘If we are to make any headway in reforming our personal and corporate praying, then we shall have to begin by listening afresh to Scripture and seeking God’s help in understanding how to apply Scripture to our lives, our homes and our churches.’

In this widely appreciated exposition, Carson works through several of the apostle Paul’s prayers in such a way that we hear God speak to us today, and find strength and direction to improve our praying, both for God’s glory and for our good.
