Are you a church leader? Do you know any church leaders?

A special summer offer of SCENT OF WATER

for churches and their leaders


Do you ever wonder what to say or what to give to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one?

Or perhaps you have a Grief Support group who need helpful resources?

Either way, maybe you’d like something to give to the bereaved to whom you minister, to show the love and care of you and/or your church, and to give them something helpful in the first few weeks and months of their grief.

Endorsed by Debbie Thrower and used by The Anna Grief Chaplaincy, "SCENT OF WATER - words of comfort in times of grief" is a lovely gift book to give, to receive, to dip in and out of as you appreciate the words, the pictures, the reflections and the quotes. 

Hardback, with colour photos by Canon Debbie Dewes, it has poems, meditations, daily thoughts, prayers, reflections - set out in a way that's easy to dip into and to use.  It’s also DYSLEXIC-friendly.

And it’s just been nominated for the CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARDS in the Gift/Devotional Category.



I’d like to give you a special offer, just for churches, clergy, pastors and ministers, as many churches are finding it's a valuable and gentle gift to give to those who are grieving, to show love and care and support. A tangible expression of Christian love.






“ The devotions are grouped under headings that could work like topics. They can be read in any order, so you could choose a theme, rather than the next one on the list. Between each week there is a beautiful photograph. Just turning the pages, reading words, prayers and thoughts is soothing in itself.” - Maressa Mortimer, clergy wife

Does love mean never having to say you're sorry?

and - a Valentine's Day special offer for you right at the end  .....


LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY
YOU'RE SORRY

 It’s the famous line from the 1970 film, “Love Story” which Vanity Fair magazine later judged to be one of the 25 greatest love stories the movies ever told. The American Film Institute ranked it  number 9 in the most romantic films list. 
 
“Love Story” has its 50th anniversary this year – really? How ever is it 50 years since I sat and sobbed through this film?


The anniversary is being celebrated in movie theatres in the US this February. How romantic is that! And we will all be reminded that love means never having to say you’re sorry. 
 Is that it? Is that true love?  Love means never having to say you’re sorry?

I know from personal experience that the phrase must be one of the worst things to believe or practice, one of the saddest definitions ever of love. 
 
Because I find apologising, saying sorry, to my nearest and dearest one of the most difficult things to do, I’ve relied on that phrase to see me through. Oh, I may not have really believed you never have to say sorry to those you love; but I certainly acted as if it I believed it. They love me, I reasoned to myself; they understand me. They forgive me, I’m sure, or they’ll know I didn’t mean it.
 
Life goes on and we’ll be fine.
Except we weren’t.
Things began to go wrong in my marriage, and I took it for granted that we had a good marriage and that after all those great years, loving years, nothing could touch us.
 
Well, it did, as you know if you’ve read my book, “Walking Back to Happiness.”  And so we separated…..
