Christmas is coming very fast and with Life brimming over with great Christmas books for adults and children as well as cards, music, DVD's, and gifts, why not give a little of the real meaning of Christmas this year?

Whether its a Christmas card to send love across the miles or a really special Bible, balloons to brighten the children's Christmas party at church or a beautiful handmade Nativity set from Peru, an advent calendar (with chocolate & verses!) or the latest Matt Redman CD....

We could go on, and on, but why not pop in and take a look for yourself?

With Buy One Get One Free from Bible Reading Fellowship on selected Advent and Christmas books and two for £10 from Lion Hudson and Candle Children's Books there's great value for money.

With cards supporting Tearfund, Barnabus Fund, Compassion, Pilgrim Homes, Toybox, Spurgeons, Open Doors and Blythswood (Shoe Box appeal) you can give more for your money!

We have 3 great new books from Bible Reading Fellowship (BRF) at life aimed at those teaching children whether in primary school or at church.

 Teaching Narnia By Olivia Warburton is a cross-curricular classroom and assembly resource for those teaching RE to KS2. It includes background information on C.S. Lewis’s life, 15 lesson plans, drama workshop activities, assemblies and follow-up ideas for Christmas and Easter as well as plot summaries of each of the Narnia books.

Why Teach Narnia in RE?

“... While being presented as fantasy stories the books contain strong Christian themes exploring the nature of Christianity and God’s relationship with human beings in a parallel universe. .. the books work on different levels...Lewis includes characters from Greek and Roman mythology as well as traditional British and Irish fairy tales and even Father Christmas makes an appearance.

 They offer parallels with the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ, helping the children to learn about key Christian beliefs and to learn from them by tackling big questions such as: what is really real? How do we see the world? Who is in charge of the world? Is God really good? Does he exist at all? What happens after death? How do we know what is right and wrong?.”

 The stories also provide strong links to PHSE and Citizenship, Literacy, Art, Drama and Science.

Priced at just £6.99

 Christianity: Key Beliefs and Traditions By Cavan Wood seeks to inform and equip RE teachers of KS2 by looking at theological ideas such as creation and salvation as well as at the life of Jesus and the growth of the church. Over 30 topics are covered, each including background information, classroom activities and learning objectives. The emphasis is not just on the history of Christianity but on the Christian faith as it is lived now and on evaluating its key ideas, linking them to pupils’ experience and understanding.

Priced at £7.99

 Not Sunday Not School Bible Heroes! By Eleanor Zuercher. A Sunday or midweek resource for those working with 3-11 year olds contains 11 off-the-peg themed activity programmes and a 5 session holiday club based around the lives of Old and New Testament heroes, both well known and less familiar.

Each 2 hour programme offers material for a range of practical activities including storytelling, art and craft, drama, discussions, music, cookery and Bible teaching, plus ideas for an act of worship following a workshop session.
