SODA (Mark Chester, Barnabas) RRP £6.99
There are 3 sections to this book:
School's Out, Dad's About clubs are for dad's and their Reception to Year 2 children.
Daddy Cool! is a five-session parenting programme - food, activity, competition and facing up to the challenges of being a dad.
Soul Man? discussion groups for dads that want the chance to think about their beliefs and values.
Sue says: if you're looking for a book similar in format to Who let the Dad's Out but for older children, you will be disappointed. The main focus is on the dad's programmes Daddy Cool! and Soul Man?

Creative Mission (Rona Orme, Barnabas) RRP £8.99
This book contains a wealth of ideas to help churches, large and small, urban and rural, to connect with people who have occasional contact with the church, as well as suggestions for the church family to join in community events.
Many of the ideas are for families, children and adults, to enjoy together or alongside one another. Some ideas can be used within worship; others are for social events, fundraising activities, campaigns for justice across the world or RE and assemblies in schools.
The ideas are arranged in four sections to fit with the seasons of the year. Some follow the church calendar; others link with secular high points in the year such as Valentine's Day, Red Nose Day, Father's Day and 'Back to School'.
