Two Sisters and a Funeral

"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died ..." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
(John 11:21-26)(NIV)

Jesus is a welcome guest and friend at the home of Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus in the village of Bethany. So when Lazarus falls gravely ill, the sisters send a message to Jesus: "Lord, the one you love is sick." But by the time Jesus arrives, Lazarus has already been in the tomb for four days. Two Sisters and a Funeral tells the exciting story of a family transformed first of all by seeing their brother Lazarus raised from the tomb, and then the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world.

Soloists: Martin Fisher (Jesus), Devon Brown (Lazarus), Emily Bray (Mary), Alyson Ottaway (Martha)

Also featuring: Bill Carpenter, Amy Carter, Jonathan Chappell, Caroline Finney, Richard Harvey, Pete Hazelwood

Roger Jones with words by Timothy Dudley-Smith

"Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith and Roger Jones urge us and inspire us - cheer us on our way - with this refreshing and exciting new Collection - this amalgamation of classical and contemporary expressions of worship and adoration. These songs are brilliantly conceived - they're wonderfully useful and totally inspiring - I love the variety of the contrasting and useful settings for different combinations of voices." - Prof Dr Noel Tredinnick, All Souls, Langham, Place

The Spirit Who Speaks

A faithful servant of God reveals how to experience a dynamic ministry by listening to God’s Spirit and praying for God’s intervention in people’s lives. Peter Lawrence was a vicar in the Church of England for many years until his death in 2009. As he began to write this book about living fully in the Spirit’s healing power, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Accepting God’s will with grace, he has left behind this moving account of the spiritual reality that radiated from him and touched many lives. Blending biblical teaching and self-effacing humor, Peter describes how he discovered the gift of receiving a "word" from God--and the amazing healings of spirit, mind, and body that resulted. Now readers can learn how God’s Spirit can guide them personally, day by day, no matter what

Fisherman's Friend

"Biblical stories coming to life and everyday incidents captured and exploited. It will have you crying and laughing, in audacious and rapidly alternating episodes... a great resource, for church, school and home." - From the Foreword by Roger Jones

Alison Fuggle was brought up in Cromer, Norfolk. She read Drama and French at Bristol University, where she met her husband, Bill, at the Christian Union. In addition to a huge number of poems Alison has written lyrics and drama for the last eight musicals by Roger Jones: Angel Voices, Pharisee, Simeon, Snakes and Ladders, Wildfire, Jail Break, The Inn Crowd, Rock and Two Sisters and a Funeral. Her previous two collections of poems, Pharisees and Followers, and View From Other Side are now included in this hugely extensive volume.

The Roger Jones Song Collection

A much-awaited collection of Roger's best-loved songs together with some new items.

Contains seasonal items, children’s songs, a wedding song and many more.

59 songs, arranged simplyfor unison/solo voice, with piano part and guitar chords.

"... helpfully memorable because they've been expertly constructed and honed. The songs are unselfconsciously inventive because a master has been at work in their construction: always here a subtle use of repetition to help the memory or underline a truth, to reassure or bring out a happy thought; always inventive harmony that stimulates and keeps the music bright and interesting; always convenient pitches and melodic shapes that don't over-strain or cause technical difficulties"

From the Foreword by Noel Tredinnick, conductor of All Souls Orchestra.
