An exceptional and insightful reflection into the nature of a God who loves so deeply he will risk anything for His world and His people. The friends of Jesus were not the sort of people that every leader would want to have around them. Their humanity was all too evident. They were people who had feet of clay, motives as mixed and fickle as fool's gold and relationship histories as colourful and patchy as a crocheted quilt. They were people like us - living with the outrageous grace and mercy of God among us. Scandal of Grace is a revised and updated version of a title that was previously published by Saint Andrew Press as Jesus and People Like Us.

In what way is Jesus good news to each of us, personally? What gives real meaning to the well-worn words 'good news'? The author aims to release us from shallow readings of scripture and looks at why Jesus mixes 'good news' with something that sounds as miserable as 'repentance'. He opens up liberating perspectives on the love of God.

Hope, in Christian theology, has profound meaning. But can theology comfort those whose personal world has fallen apart? Nick Baines draws on his experiences of working for GCHQ and as a pastor to address this important issue. This timely book, on aspects of hope, is from a writer grounded in life's practical experiences.

We live in a fast-paced, noisy world that seems to get more and more complex and uncertain with every passing year. It's hard to hear your inner voice and to stop and reflect on what life is all about. Where do we find our anchor? This book explores what being a Christian really means.
