Tears are a common experience we rarely discuss, and then only in relation to pain and loss. David Runcorn draws upon a long Christian tradition of seeing tears as a gift to explore their deeper meaning and purpose, their place in human life and their significance for prayer and spirituality.
A creative, practical approach to the vast, fascinating and ultimately very personal field of Christian spirituality. Reissued with a new cover.
The ancient people of Israel and contemporary Western society share a preoccupation with the idea of leadership. In this perceptive and engaging book, David Runcorn reveals just how deeply one world can speak to the other. It is particularly relevant to current debates in the church over women and leadership.
Explores how someone for whom the Bible is central can hold an including view of same-sex relationships and marriage on the basis of the Bible - and not bypass it.
Suitable for thoughtful and curious travellers, with a daily Bible verse or short passage leading into reflection on some aspect of human life and faith, this book offers an approach which is exploratory rather than prescriptive, provoking questions rather than offering answers.
