Destination is in Sight
Destination is in Sight
Coghlan, Patrick
¥53.86
The Destination is in Sight speaks about a Christianity that engages with everyday life, demands a response now, is filled with challenge, urgency and the demand for action, gives meaning and purpose to today, and hope and promise for tomorrow.The Destination is in Sight is written for those who are searching, those who have become disillusioned by Christianity as they see it, and those who need an injection of encouragement, purpose and challenge to their walk of faith.The Destination is in Sight is about making a personal, spiritual journey into understanding more about the nature of the Kingdom, learning more about Kingdom living and sensing a feeling of urgency to help lead others into the Kingdom - with a particular reference to the end times. As well as prayerfully seeking (and allowing) the Holy Spirit to shape our lifestyles accordingly. The Destination is in Sight looks at a selection of John's writings: the 'I am' passages of Jesus (recorded in John's Gospel); passages from John's letters; the letters to the seven Churches in the Book of Revelation and a selection of other passages from the Book of Revelation. It is good to note that Revelation 1:3 promises blessing to those of us who study the book of Revelation and endeavour to apply it to our lives. The Destination is in Sight is not a commentary on John's Gospel, John's letters or the Book of Revelation; neither is it a theological debate. But it is a user friendly, personal resource, encouraging the reader to seek what God is saying to them about the Kingdom and what relevance it has to their life today, whilst awaiting its ultimate fulfilment. The Destination is in Sight links in a variety of other relevant passages of scripture, as it endeavours to encourage the reader's individual journey in an 'easy to read', and sometimes light hearted style, but also challenging, affirming and scripturally based.The Destination is in Sight has been written by a middle aged Baptist Minister, counsellor and author who decided to try a local running club, but realised that walking energetically was more suited to him - his inspiration for this book (well, some of it!)

Mollie's Tailpiece
Harris, Christine M.
¥29.33
Every Sunday, Mollie - a miniature dachshund - would attend Mass at Holy Trinity Church in Gosport with her owner, Christine Harris. Mollie had her own kneeler, received the blessing of St Francis from the priest and regarded it as her special duty to welcome newcomers to the church. She was also known to be partial to a quick puff of incense. Her fame spread throughout the town when - in 2008 after her 'sister' Sascha died - she took over Sascha's column in the parish magazine. Written with gusto and an anarchic approach to life, Mollie's Tailpiece tackled every subject under the sun, from meeting the bishop and processing with the choir, to playing in the snow and riding in the basket on the front of Christine's bicycle, all with a delightful grasp of the art of the malapropism. This collection of Mollie's columns perfectly captures her much-missed sense of fun and mischief.

Green, John W

1923. When RAF airman Jack Toulson finds a wooden box buried in the desert, he hopes to uncover a cache of jewels or even an antique sword, but all it contains is a worthless old stick with Arabic writing on it. Disappointed, he shoves it into his bag and thinks no more of it. The next day, he decides to take a picture of the empty horizon with his new Kodak Hawk-Eye, but when the picture is developed, it shows a camel-train that had not been there. He concludes it must be a fault with the camera. Jack is wrong on both counts. The stick he held in his hands, and the camel train that appeared in his photograph, were a window into another time a thousand years before Christ - a time when King Solomon tried to seduce the beautiful Queen of Sheba by entrusting her with the most precious artefact known to man: the Rod of Moses. In this gripping novel, the power of the Rod echoes down the generations, from ancient Egypt right through to the present day.
