Transforming Values
Author: Laurence Singlehurst
In this book Laurence challenges us to think differently about our growth as Christians. Transforming Values ‘does what it says on the tin’ and asks us to think about our values rather than just trying to change our actions. This book will enable you to highlight 4 key values for your Christian walk and set a new framework in which you can then grow, and help others to do the same. Full of practical advice, wit and great stories.

Who's Shaping You?
Author: Graham Cray
In Who’s Shaping You? Graham describes a radical way of life, based on Biblical thinking which he sees is necessary if we are to impact our world. He encourages us to allow Jesus to infect the whole of our lives and to live those lives openly in front of those we come across day by day.

Welcome to your Changed Life

Beyond the Clouds
Author: Laurence Singlehurst
Pain and disillusionment are an inevitable part of life, admits Laurence Singlehurst, but God has not left us without the tools to cope with such suffering. Drawing on the lessons of a traumatic time in his own life when God’s promises seemed distant, he offers advice on how to deal with inner hurt, and how to find God in the midst of our pain. This book presents the same practical, strategic approach to dealing with life’s challenges as his bestselling Sowing, Reaping, Keeping.

A Journey Guide for Growing Christians
The journey guide is a review tool to help us understand where we are on our Christian journey. Until recently only A Journey Guide for New Believers was available and was designed for use with new Christians. Increasingly we have seen the value of the journey guide experience and have extended the range to include A Journey Guide for Growing Christians and A Journey Guide for Cell Group Leaders. These are invaluable as people grow in their faith and move towards leadership. They are laid out in an easy to use format and are designed to be reviewed with a sponsor or in the case of the Cell Leader guide with your Cell Supervisor or church leader.
A Journey Guide for New Believers
This guide can be used along with the other resources that comprise the Equipping Journey Series.
Walking Together
Authors: Liz West, Trevor Withers
What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? How am I meant to go about being a disciple? Walking together answers these questions and helps us to not only be disciples ourselves, but also to make effective disciples in our present culture. There is material for you to apply as well as help in forming those one-on-one relationships that are essential for us to grow as disciples.
Walking with Jesus
Author: Gary Gibbs
Gary Gibbs says his favourite thing is introducing people to Jesus. His booklet, Walking with Jesus is a brilliant resource designed for new Christians. Each section is packed with the principles that all Christians need to live by. The interactive style not only helps you to apply the ideas but gives you a new found energy and confidence to go out and use them. A simple read with a profound impact.
4Life Group Notes
Author: Mark Powley
How about using the 4Life material as a basis for your cell meetings? These group notes around the 4ws of a cell meeting will add value to your cell members as they work through their identity, values, lifestyle and purpose. Your meetings will have an added depth as they build on the time invested by your cell members in following 4Life individually. Share the journey, double the investment.
4Life
Author: Mark Powley
Want to go deeper with God or refresh your faith? 4Life is full of honesty, passion and humour, and seeks to give a solid foundation for practical Christian living today. The ingredients are simple; ten readings on your own, then an honest meeting with a trusted mentor. Forty readings and four meetings in all, it could take eight weeks or as long as you like. However you do it, the journey in these pages will leave you changed. So take the risk and follow this guide for a deeper journey into the Christian life.
"Just wanted to say how brilliant I think the 4life book is. We are starting to use it as our main nurture/discipleship tool. I think it is brilliantly written, brilliantly simple, and brilliantly thought provoking and engaging. Well done and thank you!"
Dr Nic Harding, Senior Pastor, Frontline church. Leadership mentor and coach
