A new study pack exploring our understanding of the Holy Spirit by renowned poet theologian Nicola Slee.

The pack contains six full colour A3 posters of works of art to prompt discussion. The booklet contains an introduction for the group leader, background notes to the artworks, a plan for each of the study sessions and suggestions for follow-up.

A companion title to Seeing Jesus.

Produced by the Student Christian Movement with assistance from the Bible Society this great value study guide contains 23 short articles opening out new perspectives on the Bible from writers such as Robert Beckford, Mona Siddiqui, John Vincent and Lisa Isherwood. The book comes with a free CD-ROM which provides printable versions of the articles and discussion notes for use with a group.

Lively and provocative notes, offering a unique opportunity to explore world issues and contemporary themes in the light of the Bible. Each book includes background notes, ways to lead small groups, contemporary stories, activities for adults, questions for discussion, suggestions for prayer and ideas for further action.

This series explores a range of questions and discussions with writers of widely different experiences and cultures. They challenge us to see beneath a comfortable approach to the Christian festivals, to recognise Christ among the poor and those who suffer. They also share with us something of the joy and fun of celebration.
