Praying with the church - Scott mcKnight

An outstanding read outlining for us the long history of prayer in the church. Not the loose modern prayer but the formal liturgical prayer of Jesus and the early church. Set prayers, prayers that are prayed by thousands of others across the world every day. McKnight really wants to help us dicsover the wonder of praying with the church ratehr than on our own.

A really challenging read that will push you to rediscover this ancient tool to develop our love for Jesus.

Why men hate going to church - David Morrow

A really interesting read on how the church has softened Jesus message and how this has alienated men from church. 'Jesus is my boyfriend' songs have not helped. This book is a really interesting read and a must for anyone involved in public worship.
