A five-part course for small groups that aims to help you discover one simple truth: that God loves you passionately, deeply and unconditionally. Tracing this dynamic love through the Psalms and the Gospels, it explores five images of God's mercy that generations of Christians have experienced.

The great mystery of the human condition and God's action to save us is too vast to be contained in a single image or one kind of language. The Bible uses a kaleidoscope of word pictures of human life and God's intervention in it. Exploring God's Mercy is a short course for small groups that focuses on five classic images of the Christian gospel which are woven through scripture and the Christian tradition:

Lost and finding the way
Trapped and set free
Sick in soul and healed
In turmoil and being at peace
Barren and becoming fruitful

Each chapter explores one of these images through stories, popular culture, biblical material and Christian tradition, supported by YouTube clips and further film suggestions. Discussion starters, questions, prayers and a leader's guide are included making this ideal for Lent groups or as an introductory course to the Christian faith at any time of the year.

STEVEN CROFT has written extensively on ministry, evangelism and discipleship and was one of the authors of Emmaus: the way of faith. Formerly Archbishops' Missioner and Fresh Expressions Team Leader, he is now Bishop of Sheffield. In this role he aims to engage with those on the edge of or outside the churches
