A couple of books from our main speakers:
Mountain Moving Prayer - Debra Green OBE
Mountain Moving Prayer by Debra Green OBE with Dave Rogers asserts the toughest challenges we face in our lives; the biggest obstacles; seemingly insurmountable problems; all can be tackled, defeated and shifted aside by persistent faith-fuelled prayer.
‘If what stands in your way is too high to climb, too hard to dig under or too big to go round – it’s time for mountain-moving prayer!’ – Anthony Delaney, Ivy Church, Manchester Buy here!
Powerful Leaders - Marcus Honeysett
As understanding and awareness of abuse has grown, many revelations of church leaders abusing their power have come to light. How did the church get here? Is there a way we can address both individual and institutional failings to counter the misuse of power and, more importantly, prevent it in first place?
Powerful Leaders? exposes and explores how leaders are tempted away from a biblical model of leadership into illegitimate – and in the worst cases abusive – use of authority and power. Buy here!
Leadiagrams - Andy & Chris Frost
In our visually based and time-poor culture, leaders need simple, shareable and globally applicable tools that will equip them in every sphere of life.
This book is crammed with fifty-two big and memorable ideas to help you thrive in your faith and lead effectively, whether in your community, your workplace or in Christian ministry. Buy here!
'Tis Mercy All - Natalie Williams
In a world of polarising politics, cancel culture, and social media virtue signalling, we risk losing any sense of what it means to have mercy. And yet Jesus calls us to ‘be merciful, just as your Father is merciful’ (Luke 6.36).
In this thoughtful and practical book, Natalie Williams explores what it means to be a true mercy-bringer. First, we need to develop a deep appreciation of the mercy of God, which is more astonishing than we dare to believe. As the old hymn says, ’tis mercy all when it comes to God’s dealings with his children. Once we have understood that, it will transform the way we see God, ourselves and the world around us. We will be drawn closer to Jesus and, as a result, we will reflect his mercy to a world that desperately needs it. Buy here!
Hope Reborn - Tope Koleoso & Adrian Warnock

Are you sure that you really are a Christian and will live forever with Jesus? If you have drifted away, this book encourages you to come back and find certain hope. Buy here!
