    Fishing with the Father
    Donna Lloyd

    ‘Come follow Me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’



    Fishing with the Father presents a fascinating new insight into the Lord’s calling to His disciples.


    Donna Lloyd reflects on why Jesus chose four fishermen to be His disciples, the qualities and characteristics He was looking for, and how the hard labour of outdoor work prepared them for their future life as divinely appointed ‘Fishers of Men.’


    With an in-depth look into the parallels between fishermen and Christians, this book will help you discover just how remarkably similar they are and how you can embark on the role of becoming a fisherman for the Lord.


    This book is for anyone today who wants to fish for men and be a crew member onboard God’s fishing vessel.


    Objective: To save as many people as possible.


    Criteria: Only the bravest need apply.

    eBook
    Compelling Evidence
    Murray J. Harris

    Who has been the most influential figure in world history? Everyone will agree that it is Jesus Christ, also the most controversial figure ever. What sets Jesus apart from all other religious figures is that his first followers made the stupendous claim that three days after he had been crucified by the Romans, he appeared to many of them in a recognizable but different form—he was now alive forever and finally ascended back to heaven where he now reigns supreme with his Father.

    Surely the evidence for these amazing claims deserves thorough examination, with alternative ways of understanding the evidence also given careful consideration.

    Here you will find all of the relevant evidence exhaustively evaluated so that readers can come to their own conclusion, one way or another.

    Called, Gathered and Gifted
    Stephen Disraeli

    A MODEL OF THE CHURCH

    The Christian community as God’s dwelling place.

    The builder’s plans are to be found in 1 Corinthians.

    Paul defines the church as a people called by the Father, gathered by the Son, and gifted by the Holy Spirit.

    We have been called out of the world, set apart for a divine purpose. We have been brought together as a community of God’s people. We have been given the Holy Spirit as our source of knowledge, the bond that unites us, and the guiding force in our shared life.

    At the heart of this calling is the anticipation of Christ’s return and the resurrection of the dead.

    For those who aspire to be servants of God, building His church brick by brick, Paul’s message is essential.

    Stephen is the author of Prophets, Priests and Politics, also published by Austin Macauley, and founder of the Reddit subforum AskAnotherChristian. As a member of the Church of England, he is free from denominational restraints.

    A Father's Love
    Donna Lloyd

    ‘Hush now, my son. You are home, Joah. You are home, and you are loved,’ cried his father, his own tears falling in joy and desperate love. Two strong arms pulled him to his feet and held him close, a hand cradled the back of his head as it was guided to his father’s shoulder.


    Overwhelmed, Zimri’s heart almost imploded.


    His son was home.


    His son was alive.






    A Father’s Love can be described as a two-tone book, comprising both fiction and non-fiction. Taking the parable we know as The Prodigal Son, Donna Lloyd writes a compelling narrative and a series of reflections to explore the meaning behind the parable Jesus told. This book will hopefully make known how much you are loved by the Father and how His arms are always open wide, ready to welcome you home, no matter who you are or what you’ve done.


    So, whether you see yourself as a prodigal son or not, this book will hopefully encourage you to reevaluate and reestablish your relationship with your Father and help you on your journey home.



    The Father’s love is waiting for you.


    Are you willing to embrace it?

  • The Slow Work of God
    eBook
    The Slow Work of God
    Stephen McCarthy

    The Earth is getting hotter and life as we know it is under threat. Will just a few of us survive? Or can we act together to avert the crisis?

    The root cause of this looming existential crisis is our addiction to consumption of material goods, and our unquestioning acceptance of the outrageous maldistribution of wealth among individuals and nations. Can we throw off these addictions and assumptions, to tread more lightly on the Earth?

    McCarthy believes that we can. He starts by delving into the last two thousand years of Christian history. He traces the role of Jesus’ revolutionary teaching in a series of dramatic convulsions of human consciousness that have, suddenly and unexpectedly, changed attitudes and behaviour in previously unthinkable ways. In a world where violence, slavery, power and patriarchy were once universal, we are on the way to one that strives for peace, freedom, human rights, universal democracy, and equality for everyone.

    These transformations – still in progress – are instances of a complete change of heart and mind: ‘metanoia’. They are the quiet, usually unacknowledged, ‘slow work of God’.

    We must hope and strive for a new metanoia – one that overturns our materialist obsessions. In the final chapters, McCarthy proposes a radical way to launch this seismic change of heart, prevent catastrophe and ‘save humanity from itself’.

    His book is full of hope and promise. We just have to make it happen.

    Let God Speak
    Mark Edward Chard

    God is an enumeration of His attributes.

    God is spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.

    The spirit of God silently moves through space and time, and the very first thing God speaks into existence is Light.

    Fast forward along the timeline, and we read in John 1:1, almost in the same respect as Genesis, ‘In the beginning was the Word,’ and it continues until John says something very fascinating: Jesus is the Light of men.

    It all makes sense now, doesn’t it?

    If God, as they say, is all-knowing, He indeed knew our fate before creating us. He knew, therefore, to put our Savior in place before everything.

    When God said, ‘Let there be Light,’ He created the Christ at that very moment, bringing forth our Redeemer.

    He uttered our way home into existence.

    God is amazing!

    He loves us so much that He forgave us before He even made us.

    As for the dark, it was and always will be consumed by the Light.

    Light, the word that would best describe it…

  • Luke to Theo, Again
    eBook
    Luke to Theo, Again
    Clifford Samuel

    Luke presents Christianity’s growth as explosive. His is the story of its far-reaching spread “to the ends of the earth”. If Luke were able to name his work (and it seems he never did), he would describe it as The Acts of God, or better still, the Acts of the Holy Spirit.

    Luke to Theo, Again continues the author’s journey into the Graeco-Roman-Hebraic world of the first century. With Peter and Paul as the protagonists of the Jesus Movement, Luke’s sweeping panorama, with over 80 characters, moves from Jerusalem, across Asia and into Europe.

    The author continues the practice of using box texts to illuminate various points in his commentary of Luke’s text. Clear biographical, literary, historical, and geographical data is presented in easy-to-follow list and dictionary formats, as well as more detailed background mini essays on the beginnings and spread of Christianity.

  • The Two Layers of Biology and Religion
    eBook
    The Two Layers of Biology and Religion
    Peter Pedersen

    Do you believe in souls, spirits, God, and perhaps even reincarnation? The author does, and he presents a compelling case for his beliefs through his model of consciousness. According to this model, there exists a state of elementary consciousness at every point in space, which he terms the ‘C-layer.’ Souls and spirits are conceptualized as closed systems within this layer, while God is identified with the entirety of the infinite C-layer.

    The author finds empirical evidence for his ideas in phenomena such as near-death experiences, hypnotic regressions to past lives, young children recalling previous identities, mystical revelations, and transcendental LSD experiences. These topics are explored in detail throughout the book.

    But if you believe in God, does it necessarily follow that He intervenes in the material world – the ‘M-layer’? Not necessarily, but after careful examination of the evidence, the author concludes that God indeed interacts with the material world, particularly in relation to organic evolution. He hypothesizes that God constructs models within the C-layer, which serve as molds for the development of organisms. This concept is strongly inspired by Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance, which is also discussed extensively in the book.

    By the end of this thought-provoking work, you may find yourself, like the author, convinced not only of God’s existence but also of His integral role in shaping the foundation of everyday life.

  • Blessed
    eBook
    Blessed
    Dennis Acott

    Part 1 of this book, ‘Enabled to Be,’ explores both the biblical identity and the developing characteristics of the Christian, inspired by the beatitudes in Matthew 5. This is the foundation for part 2, ‘Equipped to Do,’ in which Dennis highlights different ways in which God calls us to emulate the life and works of Jesus in our own individual circumstances. He is convinced that we are not born again to sit patiently in ‘God’s waiting room’ until we ‘go home’. We are enabled and equipped to step out in faith to make a difference while we are here on earth.

    He believes passionately that the gifts of the spirit are the contents of the toolbox God has provided each of us with for our part in his kingdom coming and his will being done on earth as it is in heaven. Furthermore, that the actions and fruit of such endeavours not only confound the idea that the Christian life is boring, but also result in the fruit of the spirit being displayed through us as our character is moulded to become increasingly more like that of our Saviour.

    He loves to quote scriptures like Matthew 10:7-8, Matthew 28:18-20, and John 14:12 to provide both inspiration and encouragement for us all to realise how much we have been blessed through the amazing grace of God both to be and to do.

    Living on the Edge
    Richard Norton

    Living on the Edge: Monastic Spirituality and the Development of Inner Space offers a profound exploration of Christian spirituality through the lens of monastic tradition, tracing its evolution from the New Testament era to the present day.

    Richard Norton, a theologian and former Director of Studies at the UK Centre for Monastic Studies and Culture, examines the lives and writings of pivotal monastic figures including St. Benedict of Nursia, St. Augustine of Hippo, and St. Teresa of Avila, among others. The book delves into the rich history of renowned monasteries like Subiaco, Monte Cassino, and the Peschersk Lavra in Kiev, revealing how these sacred spaces became crucibles for spiritual growth and innovation.

    Living on the Edge shows how the development of monastic spirituality was neither problem-free nor straightforward, arguing that the twists and turns of this journey offer invaluable lessons for those of us living outside the cloister. Precisely because of its challenges, the wisdom of these monks and nuns – rooted in centuries of contemplation, prayer, and communal living – provide timeless guidance as we search for transcendence and greater well-being, mental health, and deeper faith.
