No Greater Life: Embracing God's Design For Wholehearted Love
Perfect for small group studies, Bible study series and personal spiritual growth. Discipleship isn’t about working harder; it’s about loving deeper. Many of us began our walk with Jesus full of fire, only to be weighed down by religious pressure and the rules of ‘faith.’ But what if Jesus’ Greatest Commandment – to love God, others and bring that love to the world – wasn’t intended to be a chore, but a transformation of the heart? Drawing on Mark’s Gospel and the discipleship vision of Deuteronomy, No Greater Life by Martin Young explores what true discipleship looks like in worship, community, mission and the everyday journey of faith. Each chapter blends biblical teaching and hands-on tools, including Bible studies, prayer practices, journaling prompts and Lectio 365 reflections.

Anglicans Who Don't Like Liturgy: How The Worship Song Took Centre Stage
In recent decades there has been a growing trend, particularly in Charismatic Anglican churches, towards abandoning formal liturgical worship. Influenced by Vineyard churches and a feeling that liturgical worship is unhelpful for mission, these churches have substituted this with a worship song-focused style and 'spontaneous', informal liturgy. John Leach investigates this approach and examines its underlying assumptions. What can we learn from attitudes to formal liturgy, what is the resulting praxis, and where does this leave us?
