Books
A former deputy warden of Iona Abbey explores the evocative and memorable approach to worship that has been developed by the Iona Community at its island centres and elsewhere. Includes liturgies and other material for use in services that invite us to recognise what we cannot see: the mystery that is God in our midst. Several pieces were developed specifically for services in which children have leadership roles. Others were designed to attract listeners for whom an extended traditional sermon could be foreign or alienating.
Books
How can you help children to 'grow up with God'? One way is through storytelling. By telling children stories that speak of their concerns, by listening to their own stories, and by exploring their questions, you can help them to grow up trusting that God will be at the centre of their lives.

First published in 1951, this book had its origin in a discussion as to whether the prime determining factor in human social relations is economic, as claimed by the Marxist world, and acted on implicitly by most of the rest of the world. Ralph Morton therefore begins with a study of the teaching of the Bible on economic and social life.
