More #reviews from the desk of the Unicorn Tree Bookshop Boss in Lincoln Central Market! First from @authentic_media the cute sewn fabric whale on the front of 'My first Bible Stories' makes this boardbook great as a gift or for everyday play! Next two books from @HodderFaith and both great for individual reading or as group studies. First off is 'Interrupting Silence' by @WaltBrueggemann and ai cannot recommend this book enough, it really is a book for our times but firmly rooted in the bible and stresses eloquently how we cannot stay silent in the face of injustice and wrong and must Speak Out! Short, easy to read, but oh so very deep! Read it... And then discuss it in a group. Next 'Faitheism' by @krishk which is subtitled 'why Christians and Atheists have more in common than you think' which doesn't sum up the openness and willingness to engage that's in these pages. This is not a book about proselytising but about really talking, sharing and coming together where we are. Another one that begs to be shared in a group setting. Next from @brfonline is 'Resilience in Life and Faith' by Tony Horsfall & Debbie Hawker. An absolute fantastic blending of Bible characters and the psychology of resilience, demonstrating what it is, why we need it, and how we can develop it. It covers many situations, and is again is great for own use and group.... And it would work in lots of groups too! Finally but not least... 'Every Tribe - stories of diverse saints serving a diverse world' from @SPCKPublishing is just a beautiful book. A series of diverse saints chosen by a diversity of people that highlight how little we know about saints and how sad that is, because when we truly understand them as they are we then see what it really is to be a Saint... To reach beyond ourselves to the other that really isn't. Read this book and be amazed by the diversity of faith there really is, and the joy of difference that is at the heart of grace. These and other great books are available from Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, & other Independent Bookshops... Please buy from a local Bookshop because without you there's no us. http://bit.ly/1TEBPlr #books #book

OK I have been a fan of @nikita_gill for a while thanks to her posts on social media etc and this little book is simply amazing and awesome and all kinds of good. 'Fierce Fairytale & Other Stories to Stir Your Soul' is epic from the first page to the last... And some of this amazing poetry and prose is going to end up being utilised in CFLincsinthecity sessions and probably Lincoln Forest Church meets & walks too. It's simply wonderful! Ps this like all other good books can be purchased from Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and all other fiece indie bookshops & booksellers who love to share stories and Stir your souls too :) http://bit.ly/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #generalbooks #poetry #prose #shortstories #fairytales #lincoln #review #authors #poets #storytellers
