Roads of Hurt and Hope

Christian Living

“In the midst of the current conflict in the Middle East we desperately need to hear stories of faith forged in the fire of contemporary experience. Drawing once again on his intimate knowledge of the Holy Land and its people, Andrew Mayes takes us on a journey that blends the traditional and the contemporary. We are invited to the challenge of living out the timeless truths of our faith in our current reality, inspired by those living through the most intense suffering.”

The Jesus You Really Didn’t Know

“Every time a new Anglican minister is licensed, they make an oath exhorting them to ‘proclaim afresh the faith to each new generation.’ This worthy aim is potentially undermined if the proclamation so panders to cultural context that faith itself is undermined in the re-telling. In this super book, Andy exhorts us to look afresh at some of the hard sayings of Jesus that are precisely the ones ignored or distorted in order to make the faith appear more commendable. It is a challenging but essential read if we are faithfully to preach the gospel as Jesus delivered it.”

Voices from the Mountains

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Mayes brings his rich experience of the land of Israel and Palestine and wide spiritual reading to enable us to hear voices rooted in the landscape. These are ancient voices, but at the same time astonishingly contemporary. . . . Expect to be enriched as you embark on this accompanied journey through time and landscape.”
