SUBSIDISED POSTAGE OVERSEAS ALL YOU NEED TO RUN SUCCESSFUL COURSES ABOUT THIS COURSE The ancient poems we call Psalms were written when humans travelled at the speed of a camel – not at the speed of sound. But these songs have stood the test of time for they address many of the problems we still face: violence, injustice, anger – and bewilderment. Why do the wicked prosper? Where is God when we suffer? In this 5-session course for discussion groups, Bishop Stephen Cottrell, a prolific and popular author, reflects on the psalms in general (and five psalms in particular). He invites us to join him as he does so. FIVE SESSIONS 1. Know that the Lord is God 2. Out of the depths have I cried 3. How long, O Lord? 4. You spread a table before me 5. Unless the Lord builds the house … THE COURSE BOOKLET is written by best-selling author, Bishop Stephen Cottrell. Each of the five sessions ends with a good choice of questions designed to stimulate lively group discussion. Group members will benefit from having their own copy of the course booklet. THE CD contains five 14-minute radiostyle starters for group discussion, with former BBC broadcaster Canon Simon Stanley putting questions to John Bell, Rose Hudson-Wilkin and Fr Timothy Radcliffe. Each session closes with a Reflection by Jane Leach. THE TRANSCRIPT booklet is an easyto-follow record of the words as spoken on the CD – especially useful for group leaders as they prepare. A personal copy can also help group members to feel more confident about joining in the discussion, catch up on missed sessions, and reflect at leisure on what the CD participants have to say.
