  The theme of WORDS OF LIFE for 2012 is faith. This edition looks at our 'Faith Journey'. Beginning with a series on prayer, we then have the Israelites moving into the Promised Land. Observing the rise of a united kingdom under King David, we see how human weakness can break even those close to God. After Ezra's story of reconstruction and regeneration, we consider the question of suffering in the compelling book of Job. Guest writer Major Sasmoko Hertjahjo (Indonesia) provides a beautiful Pentecost series. In the New Testament we explore God's story recorded by Matthew, along with the opening of John's Gospel; then, in Acts, see the good news spreading and the Church being started. In various psalms and proverbs, as well as hymns, we find that our faith journey is both corporate and personal.

  Daily Bible reading notes with a helpful commentary and guidelines for prayer and reflection. Songs of joy are sung in palaces and in prisons, in holiday camps and in refugee camps, in waiting rooms and in war zones. Songs of joy are sung to express welcome as life begins, and to say farewell as life ends. Songs of joy are heard in the deepest moments, sung by the most unlikely people. This Advent edition of Words of Life features some of the great songs of joy found in Scripture. Also included are a prayer series on the faces of God and a perspective on angels, together with studies on the birth narrative from Luke's Gospel, the story of the fiery prophet Elijah, Paul's first letter to Timothy and a selection of Psalms.
