“Use these devotionals once or twice a week in addition to your normal Bible reading/hanging out with God pattern,” Liza explains. “Each one invites you to set aside twenty minutes or so to chew something over with your heavenly Father. Really engage with God as you read them; ask him what he wants to say to you and how your daily life could look different as a result.”

Soul Food for Youth Workers: 80 Reflections to Deepen Your Spiritual Life

Monarch Books

Deep down we know it: There has to be more than singing songs on Sunday morning, handing out tracts at work, or helping out at the soup kitchen. How do we integrate worship, evangelism, and justice into our lives as a whole, rather than compartmentalizing all three? Mike Pilavachi wants to see all three elements come together! With humorous prose and fascinating stories, he shows how the natural outflow of worship is telling people about Jesus, and compassionately helping them navigate the injustices of the world. We can’t invite someone to church and ignore their physical needs; nor can we give out food at the local church pantry and disregard people’s spiritual hunger. Says Pilavachi: “A life of passionate worship means feeding the hungry, standing up for those who suffer injustice…We must preach the gospel at all times, speaking and acting out God’s love to a hurt and broken world.”

Patrick draws on his own experience of suffering to ask: Where is God in the pain? Things were going horribly wrong. Patrick's three children all faced serious health problems. His dad got cancer. He and his wife Diane lost a baby. When Patrick faced a series of excruciating operations to his knees, he realized his faith had been shaken. Patrick had always been a leader, a fixer, someone who made things happen. Feeling vulnerable, he started blogging and speaking openly. The response startled him, as people embraced his honesty. What Patrick has learned is to be fully present, moment by moment, so he can see what God is doing and allow himself to be seen in turn. He shows us how to emerge from our coping mechanisms, to stop pretending when we are running on empty, to see that in the dark times, someone is still holding on to us. "Our emotional well-being is as important as our physical," says Patrick. "I hope this book will help those going through tough challenges, so they can hear that quiet voice that says, 'Let's try again tomorrow.'"

Regan OBE, Patrick

Tich was a South African sports star who lost it all to alcohol. Joan had recently lost her husband. Their lives were at rock bottom when grace showed up and inspired these two middle class South Africans to move past the racial prejudices of the Apartheid era and launch a ministry together. The result was Lungisisa Indlela village (LIV), the legendary residential facility that rescues children, restores lives, and raises young leaders in South Africa. This is the story of transformed lives—both theirs and the orphans—as a country begins to embrace grace and love others as Christ loves the church.

What do you do when life falls apart, and it feels as if God has left you? How do you keep going when your faith is rocked to the core?&nbsp;Sometimes things get so hard we're not sure where God is - or what he's up to.&nbsp; For Patrick there was pain, illness, and loss in his family and community. Then a series of excruciating operations took him to the brink physically, emotionally, and spiritually.&nbsp; Writing during his journey of recovery, Patrick explores how we find God in times of suffering. He wrestles with how we can know God's peace when life is anything but peaceful, what the true nature of courage is, how we allow ourselves the grace to rest when we're running on empty, and how we can stay fully present in the moment - all so we can ultimately grasp the love of God at a deeper level.

Aim - Providing encouragement and 'good food' for hard-working youth leaders. Acknowledging that their time is short and they no doubt also have many commitments in their life on top of their job (family, friends etc), this aims to give them something that makes them feel loved by God, encouraged in what they're doing as well as challenged to grow to be more like Jesus. Theme - Overall coming under the Youthwork theme of 'Going Deeper'. The topics fall into the broad categories of deepening our relationship with God (worship), deepening our relationship with those around us (including evangelism) and deepening our relationship with the wider world (mission and justice).
