A Prayer Book of Days: Praying with the Saints through the Ages by Gregory K. Cameron (Canterbury Press, £12.99 (£11.69); 978-1-78622-595-5).

“Popular author and illustrator Gregory Cameron offers 31 daily prayers from the treasury of Christian spirituality through the centuries. The prayers included some from some giants of the faith — St Augustine, Patrick, St Benedict, Julian of Norwich, Francis of Assisi, Clare — and also lesser known figures right up to recent times who nevertheless left a legacy of prayer that continues to nourish faith and practice today.” 


Queering the Pulpit: A sexegetical approach to preaching an inclusive word by Karyn L. Wiseman (Cascade Books, £15 (£13.50); 978-1-6667-8198-4).

“Queering the Pulpit addresses the huge gap between the Queer community and the church by looking at the historical, cultural, theological, and biblical issues that too often marginalize the Queer community.” 


Psalms in an Age of Distraction: Experiencing the restorative power of Biblical poetry by Ethan C. Jones (Baker, £19.99 (£17.99); 978-1-5409-6764-0).

“This book argues that the psalms are poetry for the soul, poetry that shapes us. Beyond highlighting the poetry of the Psalter, the book attends to the theological freight of these poems. As such, we learn to read Scripture more attentively and love God and the world well.”
