Just wow. Just wow... How have I not had these amazing, mind blowing books in my hands before! The theology in then is just so rich, deep, insightful... So much there, not new thoughts necessarily for me but words that expound clearly, that articulate that which I have struggled with, that speak of the more so often missing. Both are incredible but the Gillibrand is just mind blowing in its structure and argument. Just wow. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #theology #spirituality #faith #autism #jessicakingsleypublishers

These perfectly formed NRSV gift bibles from @CambridgeUP came across my desk today at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and asked to be reviewed. They are small but with a beautiful clear and bold print that makes them easy to read sepite the small print size. The premium leather looking one is lush and truly looks the part of a refined black leather bible and really would be an incredible and long serving serious gift for perhaps Ordinations, Confirmations or for something with a feeling of gravitas attached to it. Next up are the silver and grey editions, both with gil edges, and both very suitable for any gift giving occasion from Christenings to marriages... I particularly like the gentle sheen (almost sparkle) to the grey edition which just lifts it that little bit, but in no way moves it away from being emminently suitable as a gentleman's gift. Finally the green edition is the cheaper priced edition and to be fair more an everyday compact carrying bible than a purposeful gift edition, but despite this the print and quality hold through making it an excellent companion for everyday life, or maybe as a Sunday school or school gift edition perhaps. All in all a set of beautifully formed, and well thought out, compact and gift edition NRSV bibles from Cambridge University Press indeed. As always these, and many more good books and bibles, can be found in your local independent Bookshops like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, and we really would encourage you to go through a small independent bookshop for your purchases as they truly rely on you to remain in business and serving the local community where they are. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #bibles #leatherbible #faith #Christian #cambridgeuniversitypress #bible #gift #awards #review #buylocal #independent #bookshop

Yes it's beginning to look like that time of year again here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market (and at all good Independent & Christian Bookshops elsewhere too I'm sure)! And @brfonline rarely disappoint and haven't again with some great Advent titles.. And that 'The Visual Christmas Story' is a real surprise that works for churches and unchurched, readers and non-readers too... I'll concede the images won't be to everyone's style but if you're aiming at a younger adult audience then these will work well. If like me you are into Celtic style spirituality then David Cole's 'Celtic Advent : 40 days of devotions to Christmas' is a real delight and a great follow on from his Celtic Lent book a few years ago. 40 days of course because that's how long a Celtic advent is. Finally David Kerrigan's 'Prince of Peace in a World of Wars' is the one I would seriously recommend to any grappling with the real humanitarian issues and crises of our world today... Things like Syria, Yemen, Gaza and the many other places of trouble, war and abandonment... Why? Because this is a book of hope and love, a book that leads us to Advent not dwelling on the horror, but acknowledging it and addressing it, and focusing on how we through love and action can change the world just as the Christ Child did. Just a reminder that these and many more books like them are available in real physical local and independent Bookshops near you like us at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market... Please buy them there and support your community and independent business people where you can. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #theology #spirituality #faith #Christmas #advent #reviews #christian #bookreviews #Lincoln #bookshop #biblestudy #devotional

If like me you have a bit of a thing for bibles... And eyesight that's not as young as it once was (especially in dim church light) then I am pretty sure that you may just fall in love with the Large Print Cambridge (@CUPReligion) NRSV Anglicised Bibles range. So OK I am totally gone on the French Morroco Leather editions due to a whole host of things like smell, feel, binding etc but the hardback editions are just as good in terms of print and readability... But let's be honest an RRP of £85 for leather + Apocrypha (£37.99h/b) or £75 without Apocrypha (£32.99h/b) is actually a great price for a very good, very clear, very large print NRSV bible indeed... Especially one that's in proper English too ;) Seriously impressed and loving these editions. Just to say that all good independent Bookshops and Christian Bookshops like us at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market will be able to get these for you... And will really appreciate your support too. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #bibles #leatherbible #faith #theology #bibkestudy #bible #review #reviews #christian #largeprint

Just three titles from the very many on display at the @CRT_Retreat #CRT2018 that I fe) in love with! So much say that I owe a big thanks to the folks from @ivpacademic for letting me take Ryken's, The Messiah Comes to Middle Earth, away with me to finish reading on the train home! And it was a beautiful rich read indeed with amazing theological insights blended into a lush treatise on LOTR.. Gives you an amazing excuse to reread LOTR to see this fresh interpretation play out for yourself! The Philisophy of Christian Religion from @spck_publishing was from the sections I had time to read (not much sadly it was busy!) an incredible, well reasoned and deeply satisfying philosophy of religion book.. And though I disagree with some of the authors conclusions on Thomism I can agree they were well reasoned and articulated, and though we don't agree on atomism the section on Deism made up for it... ;) Finally the Mere Science and Christian Faith one me ocer in the very first flick open all thanks to one joke about God, Time, and Pennies... And it carried on impressing with its style, looks, and topic. Think this is one id be very happy to read, use, and discuss with others. So yeah just 3 out of so many good good books! Remember these and many others can be found (or ordered!) from. Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market! Or from any good independent bricks and mortar bookshop! https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #theology #spirituality #scienceandfaith #reviews #middleearth #tolkien #philosophy #faith #reviews #publishers #reading

Ops nearly forgot to post this week's bank holiday reading for the @unicorntreebks boss! Fuller Reviews will follow but just to say Robertson's 'what would Jesus post' from @brfonline was a really good read for this social media person, and Ortberg's 'Eternity is now in session' from @HodderFaith is a book that really makes you think about what you thought you knew, and causes you to dis deeper into your own personal beliefs and actions.. For the kingdom of God is within you and maybe just maybe that means a lot more than you thought... Now moving onto 'the culture of God' by Nassau which looks to be deep and rich and insightful... OK so all these books and many more good ones can be found at your local Independent Bookshops like us at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market.. Please support real independent bricks and mortar Bookshops when you buy because high streets need Bookshops and Bookshops need buying customers to continue their mission in towns and cities ;) https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #christianbooks #spirituality #faith #churchresources #theology #biblestudies #lincoln #lincolnshire #review #reading #reviews

Ohh I might have fallen a little in love! The new Journalling and Verse-mapping Bibles from @HodderFaith are just absolutely lovely. Well bound, good sized print, helpful front cover diagram, and varied images, sheets, and designs for you to work with throughout, as well as the blank wide margins. Seriously these are a bullet journal persons bible, or just a very creative or note-takers Bible. Two covers designs - one a marble effect good and the other a lush watercolour floral design - both with two ribbon makers and elastic binder to hold them closed (or open where you are!). Really impressed by these editions which would make great gifts or personal treats. Like all books reviewed these can be obtained from your local Independent Christian Bookshop such as us at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market - please support independent Bookshops when making your purchases. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #christianbooks #spirituality #faith #review #bible #creative #journalling #bulletjournal #BUJO #lincoln #lincolnshire Unicorn Tree Books Central Market, Sincil Street, Lincoln.

#newtitle just in at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and it is a seriously good book that is both a refutation and reworking of Ian Bradley's own prior groundbreaking book on 'The Celtic Way', and let me say that for me this book is a deep resource that though refuting many long held understandings actually brings many more clear and helpful practical understandings of what underlies and underpins a 'celtic' understanding of faith. The whole book is brilliant, the last chapter is a practical and well thought out resource that needs to be shared into existing 'Celtic' Church circles and the wider body of church. This book and many other good ones like it, along with informed staff that love books and want to share them with you, can be found at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and other small independent Bookshops like us! Please do buy your books from small independent Bookshops as it's only through your purchases that we can survive. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #christianbooks #spirituality #faith #review #authors #publishers #buylocal #christian #theology #celtic #celticspirituality #celticfaith

Wow! Brilliant New Kids Bible from @authenticmedia just came over the desk for review at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and I'm impressed... Just good all round, brilliant style, and excellent Bible Heroes sections just make this a great bible for kids that love comics and superhero movies... Great production values on it with ribbon markers and a fun Downloadable app too. Can't see this missing the mark as a gift for the 11-14 age (and probably for some older folk too!). Well worth checking out. Remember this bible and many other good books can be purchased from your local Independent Christian Bookshop like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market...

Wow, this book, 'Clergy, Culture and Ministry' by Ian Tomlinson arrived across my desk at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market yesterday from @SCM_Press Now let me first confess I am not Clergy and so this book is not meant for me, and yet this book is incredibly insightful and interesting in helping me process how very hard it must be to be clergy with its constant expectations and role changes. In the 30 hours that have passed since this book arrived I have been devouring it! The insights work not only for clergy but for anyone with a complex occupation, or that works or engages closely with clergy. Tomlinson writes well and elucidates insightfully on the work of Wesley Carr so as to offer forward a strong work shedding light on the complexity and possibilities of being clergy in a world of competing expectations. A very good book and one many clergy may find helpful, but also one prospective clergy and ministers may like to consider too... As always this book and other good ones like it can be found in independent High street bookshop's like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, and I'd really encourage you to use them and buy your books from them so that they can survive and thrive in local communities. http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #christianbooks #spirituality #faith #review #authors #publishers #buylocal #christian #theology #clergy #ministry #scmpress

Across my desk at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market came these delights... I have truly been immersing myself in some deep, delightful, reading and thinking! Starting with Scm Press, 'According to the Scriptures' by David Allen. Perfect lenten reading. well researched biblical studies at its best... digs into the use of OT scriptures in the NT and looks at why and how they were used, and how we should understand them not as we do now, but perhaps more appropriately as we did then. Then 'A Transforming Vision' Ed. By George Westhaver Some amazing studies on the Trinity. Kallistos Ware offers a beautiful short look at the mystical theology of Trinity in the Eastern tradition. Jeremy Begbie's contribution on artistic, musical and God/Trinity space is wonderful in tone, as is the conclusion by Rowan Williams. A book that though deep is accessible reading. 'Raging with Compassion' by John Swinton. A wonderful contribution to the study of the Problem of Evil... A breadth deep and satisfying but more important is the fact Swinton does not try to answer the problem directly, rather he raises the problem and suggests we look towards the ways we can be transformed and overcome the problems rather than dwelling on the abstract unanswerable why's...this is not a cop out though, it's a real world reality and is approached with real insight. From Christian Alternative, 'Questioning the Incarnation' by Peter Shepherd. This is an intriguing, Possibly controversial study on how the explanation of the incarnation just won't work for today and how we need to focus on what is Divinity, and Jesus' very real Humanity, and truly rework a trinitarian understanding of the incarnation that is meaningful... And more importantly that is actually understood and understandable today. Well worth reading. 'Liturgical Worship' by Mark Earey from CHP is a revised & expanded edition basic introduction to what Liturgical Worship is... Key reading with questions. BRF's 'Faith in the Making' by Lyndall Bywater is a perfect book of devotional studies on Heroes of the Bible as listed in Hebrews 11. Perfect for group or solo reading. http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books

Some days you open the mail and remember why you love working at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market... And you also are reminded how God speaks and answers things in unexpected ways! So another 2 birds 1 stone #lentchallenge (remember) post and some amazing books. Reviews for all will follow but I can say I'm half way through 'Interrupting Silence' by Walter Brueggemann which as always is deep but readable and has great sized print... And though short has good reflection questions at the end of each chapter that really make you stop and think! Next though I'm going to have to read 'Vindicating the Vixens' edited by Sandra GLAFN because when I flicked it open the chapter on Bathsheba that it opened on just sucked me in... Deep, complex, authoritative, engaging, challenging, meaningful are just some of the words that cover this.. And if the other chapters are so well written and blend together scholarly biblical insight with modern themes then it's going to be a joy to read indeed. 'Drawing Closer to God' by Joseph Malham is going to be lenten exercise for me - although designed to be an 8 day personal retreat I've looked and can easily make it into a 6 week exercise that will take me into Easter and gift me with a completed Christ Pantocrator Icon to read and study... If Icons are something you have an interest in then this Icon Retreat and active guide to writing one is truly a must. Finally I am really looking forward to engrossing myself in Diarmuid O'Murchuvs new book - 'Incarnation: A new evolutionary threshold'. I have no doubt it will be a real joy to read, and challenge me in all the right ways to look at both incarnation and creation in new ways. So there we go and #remember that all these books (and many more) are available from local Independent bookshops like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, and that we rely on your direct purchases from us to stay active and in your towns and cities... So. Please think independent before Internet if you can when making your purchase choice. http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #reviews

Two birds one stone... #lentchallenge (Learn) and also the books across my desk at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market that I'm reading and reviewing! First off the beautiful and intense, 'Breathing Deep: Life in the Spirit of Easter' by Ian Adams from Canterbury Press is my personal Lent book of choice and I'd certainly highly recommend this and his other works. 'A History of the Church in 100 Objects' by Mike & Grace Aquilina is lso a wonderful and enjoyable book that takes you on a most unusual journey of the church's history... Each chapter is short and intriguing, as are the objects!, with a helpful more section of titles that will cover that time in history. Great book from Ave Maria Press & Alban Books. My final two reads this week are from @brfonline, one being 'Vibration Christianity in Multifaith Britain' by Andrew Smith which is a very helpful short, insightful, book on engaging with other faiths and considering how we live out our own faith and the witness that can be when we engage considerately, openly, and thoughtfully in the places we live and with the people there. Finally we come to 'A guide to Mission Accompaniment' by Kerry M. Thorpe and in some ways this goes really well with the previous book, because this is a book about walking with others, about accompanying those we are engaged with in faith. So part mentorship, part mission, part spiritual direction maybe... But above all about real fellowship and relationships... About the idea of journeying and growing together through building each other up. A really good book for ministers, pioneers, and even just ordinary congregation members because this is one thing we all can and should do. So there we go, 2 birds, 1 stone, 3 publishers, and 4 great books ;) All these books are available from your local Independent Christian Bookshop, like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, and please do make your purchases from a real independent high street bookshop whenever you can because it's only through those purchases that Bookshops can stay in our town and cities :) http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #reviews

So for this week's reading of the books that came across my desk at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market I'm going for an on topic selection of books by and about strong, articulate and intelligent women given its the 100 year anniversary of some women in the UK first getting the vote! The first three are from Alban Books but are Orbis Titles: 'On Being Unfinished ' by Anne E Partick - a collection of deeply interesting theological writings from this Catholic theologian on issues of feminism, media, imaginative literature, language, and vocation to name a few. All well considered and intriguing, well worth the read. 'Women leaders in the Student Christian Movement 1880-1920' by Thomas A Russel really highlights the catalyst and strength of women during these suffragette years and how women's channeled energy achieves amazing things. 'The Image of the Unseen God: by Thomas Hosinski has a forward from the amazing Ilia Delia and is a beautifully deep theological book that moves us through church history, biblical studies, and science to help build the reflection of the beautiful inclusivity, nature, and understanding of God that is envolving. Finally the last book is from New City Press and is by the amazing Chiara Lubich and is on 'Mary Flower of Humanity'. A beautiful book that looks at ecumenism, Faith, strength, sorrow and how all are called to become 'little Marys' in their Yes to God. All these wonderful books and more are available from your local Independent Bookshops like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market. Please support us, and them, by making your purchases from them as that's the only way they can survive. http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #christianbooks #spirituality #faith #review #authors #publishers #buylocal #christian #theology

Ohh a seriously lush, rich, poetic prose book has just come across the my desk at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market for me to review. 'Mariner' From @hodderbooks and written by Malcolm Guite (whom by the way also has a beautiful lent & Easter book available too), is as the subtitle says ' a voyage with Samuel's Taylor Coleridge'.. Oh and it is a voyage with sequences of words that rise and fall and ebb and flow, sharing coleridge's epic poetry and his life story and commentary on his work and themes in one beautifully written book. If you love poetry, like Coleridge, or are a fan of Guite's previous work then this is seriously a must have and read book. Eloquent, deep, lyrical prose and thoughtful ideas in 430 pages before notes. http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #christianbooks #poetry #reviews #review #author #hodder

Wow.. These just came across the desk at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market this morning! It's not often that I turn a review around quite this quickly but these have honestly got me hooked... From @brfonline this 'Holy Habits: Missional Discipleship Resources for Churches' is fantastic (and at only £4.99 each incredibly good value!). Bases o Act 2:42-47 10 subjects are covered and in each booklet you get the basis of a service, a series of small group resources, some great all age activities, some looking deeper study and consideration, and finally at the back a series of Arts & Media suggestions including books (fiction and nonfiction), poetry, articles, films and art that deal with the theme in hand... Honestly these are fantastic and work as film night ideas and book group suggestions too that would help you cross the church/unchecked boundaries really well. These work across the denominations, or indeed would be really helpful for non-denominational or Fresh Expression type initiatives (I genuinely am taking 3 home to use some of the material with my Lincoln Forest Church folk!). So there we go, I genuinely think if you are involved with church and would like something to help with some new ideas then these are seriously worth the look and consideration indeed. As always these and many other brilliant books and resources can be purchased at independent Bookshops, like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, who rely on your support and purchases to continue being in our towns and cities ;) http://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #book #books #bookshop #indiebookshop #christianbookshop #christianbooks #spirituality #faith #review #mission #worship #discipleship #christian #prayer #prayeractivities #fellowship #biblicalstudies #churchresources #brf #biblereadingfellowship #churchespecially #lincoln #lincolnshire
