"What a great book! I've picked it up and now I can't put it down. Full of encouraging truth. Authentic & real and practical ways of changing your life. I would definitely recommend! I can't wait for the next book!" Imagine what your life would be like if you really trusted God? Imagine the impact on your faith, your family and your other relationships. Imagine the impact on your career, ambitions, dreams, finances and health. Imagine the doors God might open and the new adventures you might enjoy. So many of us struggle to trust God, yet this is the key to discovering the life He intended for us. Using Proverbs 3:5-6 as a core text, pastor and author Simon Lawton will take you on a journey of new faith and discovery. He explores how we can learn to trust God fully, to overcome everyday challenges, to master fear & anxiety, to trust God on the dark and difficult days and to acknowledge God in the big and small, to trust in His infinite knowledge and to stay on the straight paths God lays out for us. By the end of 'Imagine' you will have been challenged to really trust God, encouraged and inspired by the authors own experiences and transparency to deepen your faith and you will discover the endless possibilities of a life lived by fully trusting God. Whatever stage you are at in your Christian faith - this is a book that will inspire you to trust God like never before and live like never before - but be warned - you may need to read it twice. It's packed with wisdom and insight from Simon's life and ministry experience and each chapter is interwoven with the Word of God. "This is a great book to read if you want to get closer to God. It is so easy to read and so inspiring. I have really enjoyed it and am now going back to the beginning to read it all over again to find all the gems I may have missed the first time." "This is an incredibly powerful book written as if the author is chatting to you about his own life, struggles and experiences during his ongoing walk with God. It is a very real and honest book with bible verses to back up what the author is sharing about. Personally this book is having a big impact on me and my faith in God. I would recommend to anyone to buy this book if you want to deepen your relationship with God at whatever stage you are in your walk. Imagine the impact this book could have on your life...." "An excellent book that really makes you think about what the possibilities are if we actually live as the Bible tells us to. If we have real Biblical faith. As a Pastor, I will be encouraging each person in my church to buy and read a copy of this book. It's highly recommended." "This is a really enjoyable book. Simon brings together his love for people and passion for the Bible to open up one of the most loved but least understood promises in all of scripture. Highly practical but full of inspiration and encouragement, Imagine will warm your heart, deepen your faith and strengthen your steps as you walk forward into all that God has for your life."&#8232;&#8232; (Chris Cartwright, General Superintendent. Elim churches) "Faith is always an adventure, and adventures are sometimes scary but never boring. Read this book intentionally. Let it soak through your soul and revitalise long-forgotten dreams. Let it reignite your hunger for God and yearning to see Him move again. Here you will find inspiration for the discouraged, hope for the despairing and grace for the fearful. Let the God of whom Simon speaks touch you through his words and bring life to your soul again."

Courage for the discouraged: Steps to restoring faith, hope and strength

Julia’s life was unexpectedly turned upside down. Nigel, her previously fit and healthy husband, was admitted to hospital feeling unwell and three days later had passed away. Julia and her three little boys were suddenly and without warning left with no husband and daddy. Shocked, heartbroken, angry, fearful and numb, the pain and the grief of her loss was unbearable. It felt like the end and that her life was over. However - it was just the end of the beginning. A new chapter of her life was about to be written. 
Julia tells her story of loss, grief and of finding faith for herself. She shares with great honesty and transparency the challenges of the journey, facing the stages of grief, re-marrying and becoming the person that God had called her to be. Julia’s story will bring comfort, hope and encouragement to all those who have found themselves feeling that their lives have ended following the loss of a loved one.\nWhat people are saying... 
Julia’s story is raw, honest and beautiful. She has written more than an autobiography or a memoir; she has written a pilgrimage. Her words reveal her courage, brokenness and pain, but they also reveal a God who is gracious, compassionate and restorative. I was deeply moved as I read of her remarkable journey, and felt like I was walking on holy ground. This book is inspiring, but it is also challenging. It invites us to make our own holy expeditions into the land of hope and grace. 
(Malcolm Duncan (FRSA), Pastor, author, theologian, broadcaster)\nA deeply personal, yet powerfully encouraging, book on how to navigate tragedy well. In The End of the Beginning, Julia Lawton shares her story of being widowed with three small children. While she does not sidestep the deep pain of loss, the reader is continually brought back to the goodness, grace and power of a loving God to bring hope and healing out of heartache. Whatever grief you might be facing, allow Julia’s story to take your hand and gently walk the journey with you out of darkness and into the light of a new tomorrow. 
(Jen Baker , Author and speaker)\nJulia’s excellent book is the perfect companion for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind. We all go through tough valleys and need the wisdom, kindness and brutal honesty of somebody who has been there and lived to tell the tale. I can’t recommend this hope-filled book enough. It moved and inspired me in equal measure. 
(Cathy Madavan, Writer, speaker and broadcaster)\nThis excellent book is essential reading for anyone dealing with loss or bereavement. Written with honesty, transparency and vulnerability, readers may find themselves deeply moved, while at other times laughing out loud because of the warmth and humour of its style. We unreservedly recommend it. 
(John and Marilyn Glass, Former General Superintendent, Elim Churches and former Chair of Council Evangelical Alliance 
Former National Leader of Aspire, Elim Churches national women’s ministry)\nThis is such an inspiring read! Julia’s story, which she shares with such honesty and vulnerability, leads us on a journey towards hope and freedom. The End of the Beginning is a reminder to us all that it’s not the end; it’s just a bend. Dive into this book and be encouraged. 
(Amy Summerfield CEO, Kyria Network and head of development, Skylark International, Zeo Church)\nJulia’s courage and honesty shine through in this book about her journey through grief with Jesus. She tells her story with vulnerability and humility, allowing God’s goodness to take centre stage in every chapter. Julia’s story is testament to a God who is patient, kind and faithful, and who does more than we could ever ask or imagine. It's an encouragement that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times. 
(Bekah Legg, CEO Restored)
