Newly married, Chris and Susanna Naylor set off for a new life in the Arab world - living first in Kuwait, then Jordan and finally Lebanon. In a region never far from the news, they discovered their expectations - of war, terrorism, desert sand dunes, men in white robes and veiled women, camels and Kalashnikovs, indeed their own reasons for being there - were to be constantly challenged. As they found out, the reality bore little resemblance to their pre-conceptions. Postcards from the Middle East is a tale of love from one family's experiences: a story of work, schooling, friendships, worship and shared family life, lived out in precious communities against a back drop of world-changing events and spectacular scenery. The Naylors had never experienced such hospitality, danger, wildlife spectacles or snow before they moved to the Middle East. Their story provides a multi-coloured window on an extraordinary and rapidly changing Arab world.

This 40-part devotional from Spring Harvest encourages us to dig deeper, and gives practical advice about immersing ourselves in rhythms that refresh us and help us experience more of the power of the Spirit in our daily lives. Each section is focused on a different area of life or spiritual discipline and offers a Bible passage, something to read, and something to think about, to do and to pray. There are contributions from Gavin Calver, Mark Greene, Michele Guinness, Katharine Hill, Krish Kandiah, Virginia Luckett, Cathy Madavan, Medea Peabody, Rob Peabody, Cris Rogers, Dot Tyler, and Ruth Valerio. Scripture encourages us to be like deeply-rooted trees, reaching towards God's living waters for sustenance, strength and fruitfulness. But in a fast-moving world we have become used to living in the shallows, grabbing refreshment when we can, and sprinting on. More than ever we need to find a regular rhythm of drinking the living water that Jesus offers. Our prayer is that with this book, you will discover a new awareness of the Holy Spirit's presence, and renewed fruitfulness in his empowering.

We box Jesus in. We say, 'This is how he works.' In answer to all the ways we aim to control, define and understand him, Jesus reminds us that he has immeasurably more to offer. How often do we feel like we are at the end of our energy? Not only physically and emotionally, but also spiritually? Some of us have been running this race for so long that we feel dangerously dehydrated. Jesus is calling all of us into a radical empowered life that we couldn't ever achieve in our own strength. Jesus tells his church that there is immeasurably more on offer than just a religious life, a good life or a moral life. There is more to offer our families and friends, more to offer our neighbourhoods. Jesus offers us an immeasurably more powerful and beautiful life. To a dehydrated church, Jesus announces... there is always more.

This book will make you laugh, and it may make you cry, but ultimately it will reveal to you a God who always keeps His promises.
