He's back!

After storming the Christian charts for the better part of the 'noughties', and gracing us with award-winning songs such as Here I Am To Worship, Tim Hughes' studio work appeared to come to a sudden halt. But now, after a four-year hiatus, the young and very talented artist is back and better than ever!

On the 21st March - this year - Tim will be releasing his brand new album: Love Shine Through. As his most colloberative work to date, the album is aided by the talents of Delirious? founders Martin Smirth and Stu G, and well as Ben Cantelon, Phil Wickham, Nick Herbert, Nikki Fletcher and Keys Kraayenoord - to name but a few.

Track List

1. Counting On Your Name
2. God Is Coming
3. Never Stop Singing
4. Saviour's Song
5. All Glory
6. At Your Name (Forever)
7. Jesus Saves
8. Love Shine Through
9. Keep The Faith
10. Wake Up
11. Ecclesiastes
12. At Your Name

Speaking about the overall feel of the album, Tim says:
"I hope the resulting album is a collection of songs that the whole church can sing, but that are honest and vulnerable as well".
Quench are offering this brand new album to you at a special pre-order price. £10.99 if you place your order before the 21st March (RRP: £12.99)

Time to get naked...

Best-selling author, Brian D. Mclaren - who brought you A Generous Orthodoxy and A New Kind of Christianity - presents his latest work: Naked Spirituality.

Named by Time Magazine as one of the 25 most influential Evangelical Christians, McLaren is known for wrestling with what it means to be a Christian in today's world. In his new book, he looks at how we often neglect prayer and our spiritual practice, or 'wrap the subject up in a tangle of guilt-driven showmanship'. He candidly shares his own experiences and presents twelve crucial elements of prayer in a fresh and contemporary way. 

'This book is about getting naked ... not physically, but spiritually. It's about stripping away the symbols and status of public religion - the Sunday-dress version people often call "organised religion". And it's about attending to the wellbeing of the soul clothed only in naked human skin.'
Available from all Quench stores now

Defending Gospel Freedom

We've all heard the recent reports about Christians in the UK who are suffering for their faith - the B&B owners who were sued for turning away a homosexual pair, and couples who are being refused the chance to foster/adopt because of their beliefs.

It's a worrying time for Christians in our country, but did you know that there are people who are doing their best to fight it? The Christian Institute, a nondenomination charity which aims to campaign for Christian truth, will be speaking at a special event tonight (10th March 2011) on 'Defending Gospel Freedom'.

Co-hosted by Reading Family Church and Carey Baptist Church, the meeting is open to all who want to hear about the legal work being done to preserve Christian ethics and morals in families, marriage, education and the like.

Tonight: 7:45pm - 9:15pm at Carey Baptist Church, Carey Street, Reading. RG1 7JS
