i just had a delivery yesterday of 40 the book. many of you will know si smith's wonderful illustrations of jesus journey into the wilderness. i have used them a load of times in worship. they are fantastic for all ages and perfect for lent. if you haven't seen it the movie is available on proost.
well chris goan wrote a script to go with them and contacted si and to cut a long story short have turned 40 into a book – on one side of the page is one of si's illustrations, and on the other is chris's reflection. rather than using lulu which we have done for the pocket liturgies we have done a small print run ourselves. it's available as a download on proost for free if you are a subscriber but it's the kind of book you will probably want in print. so you can order them through proost as well and it's only £7.
this was part of our january release on proost.
the other new january item is laudamus, an album from karen ward's church of the apostles in seattle. this follows a service of morning prayer and evening prayer. cota have led worship at greenbelt and people have really enjoyed what they have done.
i put a list on the front page of the proost web site of resources that we have that are particularly suitable for lent so you might want to have a look at that as well…
Just download both – will use the booklet for my own reflections during Lent. Also listening to COTA’s CD – it’s the best worship CD I’ve seen to come out of the mainline chuches for quite some time. Wow.
Jonny, the COTA album is wonderful – I’m ashamed to say it’s my first purchase from the Proost site but thought I’d let you know what a pleasurable purchasing experience it was – the integration with Paypal is fab and it all works like a charm! Cheers.
Oh – the other thing was a suggestion: it would be fab to have some sort of option to download the ‘sleeve’ – I really miss it when buying from iTunes etc. could there be an option to get a pdf or something?
yes that’s a good point and i guess it would be easy enough…
