The Light and Soul of Christmas

Jeff Lucas has written a new outreach book for Christmas with CPO. Peppered with humour and anecdotes, it has been written as a give away at Christmas events, or as a stocking filler with family and friends in mind. Bright, colourful and clear, with space to put your own contact details. It also has details of the Christian Enquiry Agency for follow up. Details are on:

Andy Twilley from Nationwide Christian Trust has produced the above 'which is designed to help people understand the Christian view of God and what He is like' in the 'context of the post modern world'.

Chritian Enquiry Agency news

The Christian Enquiry Agency is one of those organisations which does what it says on the tin. It is an agency which helps people enquire about the Christian faith, working on behalf of all the churches in Britain and Ireland.

The latest edition of their news letter has just been published which covers all kinds of resources which can be used in making contact with people outside church. All churches can have the CEA address on any piece of paper, from Notices to Funeral cards.
