Re-pitching the Tent is a handbook that aims to revitalise the way we regard church buildings, enabling us to see them afresh as a vital component of our worship and mission.

This revised, enlarged edition of Richard Giles' award-winning, best-selling handbook on the design and use of church buildings will be widely welcomed. Eminently knowledgeable and profoundly theological, Re-pitching the Tent offers at the same time a hands-on practical guide to the entire process of reordering and furnishing the places where we worship, from the nitial idea to the final completion. Lavishly illustrated with many new colour and black and white photographs, this essential guide will transform the way we regard the interior and exterior of our church buildings, enabling us to see them afresh as a vital part of mission strategy. Drawing on the experiences of congregations in widely differing local cultures in Britain, North America and Europe, it will inspire creative and imaginative design, and take every reader on an exciting journey of discovery of what is conveyed to the world by the very places in which we encounter and proclaim the mystery and beauty of God.

From the bestselling author of The Red Tent and Good Harbor, a collection of intimate, autobiographical reflections on the milestones, revelations, and balancing acts of life as a wife, mother, friend, and member of a religious community. Before The Red Tent won her international literary acclaim, Anita Diamant was a columnist in Boston. Over the course of twenty years, she wrote essays that reflected the shape and evolution of her life, as well as the trends of her generation. In the end, her musings about love and marriage, birth and death, nature versus nurture, politics and religion—and everything from female friendships to quitting smoking—have created a public diary of the progress of her life that resonated deeply with her readers. Now, Pitching My Tent collects the finest columns of a writer who is a reporter by training and a storyteller by heart, all revised and enriched with new material. Personal, inspiring, and often funny, Pitching My Tent displays the warmth, humor, and wisdom that Diamant's legions of fans have come to cherish.
