Being Christian after Christendom
“For anyone who is passionate about their faith and loves the church, this book is priceless reading. It addressed my troubling questions: How did we get to here, and how do we rethink our mission with wonderful clarity?”
From Woolloomooloo to 'Eternity': A History of Australian Baptists
History & Biography
Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is an essential book for today. So many Christians have become confused about the gospel, and the resurging Christian nationalism is proof. The kingdom of God preached by Jesus was the antidote for power, coercion, and national pride. The gospel was the antidote for empire. This book reminds us that the good news is service, love of the stranger, and worship of Jesus alone as Lord. He alone is the one Word God has spoken, so we must trust and obey him, not nationalist visions to make any country great by Christian rule. And not the co-option of Christians with Christian symbols and language to give our loyalty to nationalist leaders as chosen by God.”
Christian Living
“Tom Sine takes us on a journey that moves at dizzying speed through time and many places. In doing so he brings to the surface some of the amazing changemaking that is flowing from the creativity and energy of Millennials, and the new possibilities opening up through rapid technological change. He highlights the power of social enterprise as an arena for the playing out of God's plan for a just and renewed world. This is an exciting and energizing ride that I am sure will help many people in realizing their own potential in a world of disruption and dazzling change.”
History & Biography
“Ross Langmead inspired people to feel good about doing good. An hour in his presence always made me want to be a better person. This excellent book captures the man I knew and deeply admired.”
Apologetics
“Christian belief is still important in the twenty-first century. The loss of purpose and direction that characterizes Western culture is having devastating social consequences. In this captivating book, Michael Jensen sensitively and intelligently highlights that belief is still possible because the realities of suffering and evil in our world are given meaning through the hope we have in Christ.”
Preaching & Worship
“Beneath the weight of ongoing conflicts and natural disasters, political upheaval, and social unrest, we need to be anchored by words that express our praise, fears, laments, and questions to the God we love and serve. These thoughtful prayers compiled by Dr. Paul Mercer are a profound gift for personal and corporate worship in these challenging days.”
Reading the Bible in Australia
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“I am excited about this book. Why? As an Australian Christian who has read the Bible all his life, it never occurred to me to ask what it means to read it in Australia. I had read it devotionally. I have tried to read it internationally. I have read it as a church member. This book helps me to read it as an Australian in the light of our tragic history with Indigenous people and our response to this continent’s natural environment. I commend it.”
History & Biography
“I have read many books about faith under fire. This is the rawest and most faith-filled account I have read. From the challenge of evacuating the Tavriski Christian Institute in Kherson to the drama of relocating hundreds of miles away, the entire book is a page-turner. Bearing witness to the miracle of faith, TCI staff and students—themselves refugees—organize humanitarian aid for other refugees while praying, preaching, and loving others, even their enemies. The book also bears witness to the prophetic courage of Ukrainian churches which, since the Orange Revolution, have always sided with the people while Russian churches side with the authorities. A magnificent testimony.”
History & Biography
“I loved reading Dave’s story. Christians have struggled with the question of what it really means to follow Jesus. Secular people observing what Christians do have scratched their heads and asked the same question. Readers will find in Dave Andrews’s life story an answer. And it is inspiring.”
