This year’s EMA books
Our Friday selection next week are two crackers. First of all, we've got Carrie Sandon's Different by Design for £7. Carrie is the women's worker at St John's Tunbridge Wells. This is a book about gender. You may think you've heard it all before, but here is a British book written with our culture in mind and taking us through the whole issue of male/female biblically, warmly and clearly. I think it is well worth the seven spondoonies out of your wallet. It's also written carefully so you can give it to those who are thinking through these issues in your church. A good resource for your bookshelf in the "read and pass on" category.
Then we have Graham Benyon's new book on the heart and emotions. Get your tissues ready! No, seriously, this is a proper, well-thought through book on the emotions. It's very timely and fits in neatly with the EMA theme. I don't want to spoil it, but if you're a preacher you need to buy this book because (1) chances are you're a little repressed anyway and (2) there's a superb afterword for preachers. Clichéd I know, but it's worth the price of the book (£7). Enjoy.
