24.01.2022 Giving Grace Removing a judgmental attitude from our lives It is part of our natural tendency as humans to judge one another. We see someone act, and we immediately attempt to ascribe a motive--often the motive that we would have if we were to do the same thing. And yet, this form of judging is completely counter to what God calls us to do. Indeed, we are to judge whether actions are right or wrong, but we cannot judge motivations or character.... This book explores why judging isn't in our purview, and why this topic is so crucial for a believer's life. Removing a judgmental attitude can change relationships, can relieve stress and make us more appreciative, and, most importantly, can draw us closer to our God and to the Lord Jesus Christ.

22.01.2022 Making Prayer Powerful Meditations upon its Principles and Privileges Prayer is a very vital part of the believer's life. However, it can become merely a ritual, a mouthing of words without any real significance. This book outlines many aspects of prayer. It was produced by Brother H. P. Mansfield (much of it written by him along with other authors) at a time of crisis in his own life, and his thoughts on the Principles and Privileges of Prayer reflect upon prayer as a means ...of comfort, consolation and communication and the very real benefit and strength that each believer can gain therefrom.

19.01.2022 New Release: As the Day Approaches As the Day Approaches, Ian Hyndman's most recent book, is about these last days when the followers of Jesus live in expectation of his long prophesied return. For those who are not his followers, the book may assist them to know more about these last days and the return of Jesus. The book takes us through the signs Jesus asked us to look for just before he returns, including a time of great tribulation, the two witnesses of Revelation 11 (El...ijah and Moses), the beast of Revelation 13 and the return of Jesus in his climactic return when he will carry out the miraculous resurrection as he descends from heaven to earth. The book does not follow the continuous historic interpretation of Revelation, but is based on the belief that most of Revelation is a message to believers in these last days. As the Day Approaches also concludes with a brief look at events beyond the return of Jesus.

19.01.2022 Studies in Matthews Gospel These studies are not intended as a comprehensive commentary on Matthew's Gospel. They are written in recognition of the fact that the four gospels are 'portraits' of Christ, not biographies. The focus is therefore on the special characteristics of Matthew's Gospel, especially his portrayal of Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, the Son of David, the coming righteous King of God's heavenly kingdom on earth, to which both Jews and Gentiles are invited... by the call of the Gospel.

16.01.2022 An A - Z of Discipleship The path we walk as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and as children of God is described as the narrow way - and with good reason. We regularly encounter snares, obstacles and potholes as we patiently navigate the rocky road. Yet there is also much light and beauty to enjoy as we make the journey. An A-Z of Discipleship considers the many and varied aspects of discipleship - from cultivating acceptance to showing zeal.

16.01.2022 The Biblical role of Shechem The author writes, "After many years of regular Bible reading, I became aware of the number of times that the name Shechem appeared in its pages. Little did I realise at the time that I would be led on a fascinating and enlightening journey through Scripture. It proved exciting to discover some of the hidden truths about the pivotal role that Shechem has played in Gods scheme with this earth. It was in Shechem that God first revealed His covenant... to the patriarch Abram and that one of his descendants, Jesus, would inherit the land of Canaan. Blessings and curses were proclaimed at Shechem and Gods covenant was renewed there. There are many lessons to be learned from a study of Shechem."

15.01.2022 The Bible Hope The Bible is full of hope From promises to prophecies, the Bible is eternally hopeful. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jer 29:11). The Bible gives incredibly detailed descriptions about eternal life beginning with the promises to Abraham and David, to the hopeful visions of Isaiah. It's a free gift from God and centered on the "kingdom of God and the name... of Jesus Christ" (Acts 8:12). This short book is not intended to provide exhaustive answers to all questions about eternal life in the Bible. Nor does it aim to give rebuttal to differing opinions about the Bible. You may be surprised how scripture provides a hope that is different from what most Christians believe. Our hope is that these words will prompt readers to do additional Bible study about God's incredible promises. Jesus Christ is coming back to earth as King to set up his long-awaited Kingdom. The good news is that you are invited to participate with other faithful believers and inherit eternal life. "For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Author: Christadelphians of Lombard IL, USA Format: Paperback, 64 pages Price: $5.75 plus postage

15.01.2022 Operation Lost Sheep A Biblical encouragement for Christians to search and rescue those outside the fold. The author writes: This book is basically an expression of an internal passion I have felt for some time about Lost Sheep from my local church. Even though I have had strong feelings about this subject, I realized that I had not properly acted on my beliefs or let anyone else know how important this subject and people really are. It's a matter of life and death and every ...person should make this subject a top priority. Jesus repeatedly taught about Lost Sheep at different times, and we would do well to listen and learn from our Lord. I was first inspired about concern for Lost Sheep from reading part of Reformation, a book by Harry Whittaker. That led to witnessing the loss of too many loved ones from my home church. Some walked away to something else, some were casualties of people problems and others just seemed lost and bound for nowhere. Each loss was painful for those that remained, and a deep reminder that "the way is narrow to life, and few are those who find it." Later studies would remind me that "we have all gone astray" and we all need to bear one another's burdens, in love, to escape our wayward ways together. The goals of this book are twofold: First, to stir up to action all those within the fold to faithfully and relentlessly search, rescue and help save those called out ones in need. Second, to encourage any lost, broken, weak or discouraged believers in Christ-either those still within, or those now outside, the safe confines of the church.

15.01.2022 What God hath Joined Together Let Not Man Put Asunder An exposition of Scriptural passages dealing with marriage and divorce. Sadly this can be a controversial topic, but that is not the intent of this book. With marriage breakups becoming more common both within and without our community the author has seen the need to revisit and re-establish the biblical teaching on this subject in the hopes that it might help avoid much of the pain and heartache that is inevitable when ma...rriages fail, and help brethren and sisters to live out Gods principles in their own marriages and within the ecclesia of Christ.

14.01.2022 With Jesus In the recently reprinted, With Jesus, we follow in the footsteps of Jesus from his birth, through his ministry to his resurrection from the tomb. Events through the life of the Son of God are presented with spiritual insight, as we accompany him through many of the incidents in his ministry. Our journey with Jesus commences with his birth in a humble cattle trough, and takes us with him to people such as the woman at the well of Samaria, the little daughter of Jai...rus, the boy with five loaves and two fishes, the woman taken in adultery, and the healing of the man born blind, to name just a few. We stand on the Mount of Transfiguration and finally make our way through the final week before the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. We stand at the foot of the cross and marvel at the love of the faithful women with him there and at his burial. We are with the women as they come to the empty tomb, and as they gradually grasp the stupendous fact that their Lord has risen from the dead.

14.01.2022 The Murderous History of Bible Translations Power, Conflict, and the Quest for Meaning In 1535, William Tyndale, the first man to produce an English version of the Bible in print, was captured and imprisoned in Belgium. A year later he was strangled and then burned at the stake. His co-translator was also burned. In that same year the translator of the first Dutch Bible was arrested and beheaded. These were not the first, nor were they the last instances of extreme violence a...gainst Bible translators. The Murderous History of Bible Translations tells the remarkable, and bloody, story of those who dared translate the word of God. The Bible has been translated far more than any other book. To our minds it is self-evident that believers can read their sacred literature in a language they understand. But the history of Bible translations is far more contentious than reason would suggest. Bible translations underlie an astonishing number of religious conflicts that have plagued the world. Harry Freedman describes brilliantly the passions and strong emotions that arise when deeply held religious convictions are threatened or undermined. He tells of the struggle for authority and orthodoxy in a world where temporal power was always subjugated to the divine, a world in which the idea of a Bible for all was so important that many were willing to give up their time, security, and even their lives.

10.01.2022 Jonathan The greatest king Israel never had As the firstborn son of the first mortal king of Israel, Jonathan should, by rights, have been the next king. Indeed, naturally speaking, he would surely have been a marvellous ruler over God's people. And yet it was not to be. Another would rule instead of him, as decreed by the Almighty. Some would have complained at the apparent injustice of this: not Jonathan. His faithful acceptance of the will of the Father, and his love for t...he one who was to take his place, provide wonderful lessons for us all.

08.01.2022 BUILT UPON A ROCK: The distinctive beliefs and practices of the Christadelphians What is it that makes the Christadelphians distinctive as a group of believers in Jesus Christ, and marks them out as different in faith and practice from the rest of the Christian world? In what particular respects does the Christadelphians' understanding of the Bible's teachings affect their beliefs and their communal life to such an extent that they choose to stand apart from the whole of Chr...istendom? Built upon a Rock addresses these questions in ten easy-to-read chapters, each dealing with a single fundamental issue. With a convenient summary given in an Appendix, a range of Christadelphian authors set out to explain, as clearly as possible, what is distinctively Biblical about the following topics: the verbal inspiration of the Bible; the doctrine of God-manifestation on the earth; the Hope of Israel and God's promises to Abraham; the nature of Christ, as Son of God and Son of Man; the representative sacrifice of Christ (the Atonement); the mortal nature of man and the need for bodily resurrection; the Devil as the personification of sin; the Holy Spirit as the power of God; the ecclesia as the church of Christ; and the Christadelphian way of life.

07.01.2022 Into the Light A selection of stories of conversion to Christ A new publication from Beulah Edwards, Into the Light is a compilation of stories of people coming to the Way of God. Many are NZ stories, along with other fascinating stories from Bougainville, Newfoundland, Germany, a few war-stories, and Brother Tony Newtons story in Western Australia - this alone, resulted in about 40 people over a few years finding Christ. ... The first story is about the first Christadelphian to arrive in NZ in 1854, a personal friend of Brother John Thomas, Dr Samuel George-Hayes, who was registered as surgeon-general in Wellington. One of his converts went to live in Dunedin for a short period, converted several, one of whom migrated to Goolwa, South Australia, and introduced the Hope of the Gospel to Perce Mansfields grandfather! The main thrust of the book is to encourage what the author calls conversational preaching. Its not about delivering mini-lectures but saying something to captivate interest. The anecdotes are told in a lively manner and make an easy and interesting read.

02.01.2022 Jesus Among the Gentiles Most of the ministry of Jesus Christ was spent teaching or preaching to the Jewish people of his day. He was after all 'their' promised Messiah. In just three and a half short years this took most of his time.

This book tells the story and ...significance of his tour. Author: bro JB Pickering Format: Paperback, 108 pg Price: $11.95

02.01.2022 Beyond the Tomb Beyond the Tomb is an exhortational and devotional book about how the stirring and dramatic events in the early years after Jesus ascension to heaven affected the ordinary folk who were his followers. It stresses the need to recognise that God has exalted His Son to a position in which he is to be worshipped as King of kings and Lord of lords, and to whom every knee must bow. The first two chapters take us to the empty tomb of our risen Lord. The next six cha...pters trace the major events that occurred in the first twenty years after Jesus ascended to heaven. The final seven chapters enfold us, in the twenty-first century, as his latter day followers who share the common hope with our first century counterparts in serving our Lord.

02.01.2022 Service in the Lord Simple tips for acting more like Jesus The author writes, ... Are you selfish? I am. I really am. I'd much rather serve myself than others, yet God has been working in my life to teach me how, and why, to serve others. It's a journey that all disciples of Jesus must experience and learn. No one is born serving others. Someone who cared enough to raise you had to serve you. Someone had to feed, clothe, change your diaper and care for you. It is only later in life that we learn that service is a choice. We learn to serve because someone served us first. Writing about service is like describing a beautiful sunset. It's something that has to be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. We choose whether to serve ourselves, or others. We choose whether to serve God or man. We choose whether to serve at home, school, work, or play. Service is a choice. It's not the easy road, nor the most natural. We are all naturally selfish and must change our natural inclinations in order to serve. Of course, the best example of the ideal servant is the Son of Man, Jesus. Everything Jesus did was an act of service to others. He healed. He taught. He fed. He forgave. He loved. He helped. He believed. He cared. He died for you and me. Jesus served in practical and spiritual ways. He understood people's material needs and was sympathetic to all who suffered. "Servant" was actually one of the titles given to Jesus. (Isaiah 42:1) He set a high standard when he washed his disciples feet, just hours before dying on the cross. Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28) This book has a variety of subjects intended to help each person's spiritual service plus some extra parts for speakers and presiders. God willing, something here will connect with you and be helpful in your lifelong walk of service. Author: Dan Richard Format: Paperback, 65 pages Price: $5.75 plus postage

02.01.2022 A Journey Through the Roman Empire The purpose of this brief study of the Roman Empire is to give a broad overview of the last 2000 years of European History and thereby exciting an interest not only in history but also in Bible prophecy and our everyday society. Afterall, many of our traditions, structures of government, buildings, constitutions and laws were shaped by men who knew their Roman history well. The book is a Chronicle in three parts:... Part 1-The Development of Ancient Rome: Witnessing the rise to power, the grandeur, the dignity, then the decline and eventual collapse of the Roman Empire. Part 2- The Eastern Leg-The Byzantine Empire: The splendour and authority of Rome relocates to Constantinople and develops into the Byzantine Empire. Part 3-The Restoration of the Western Empire During Medieval and Modern Europe: The pomp and ceremony resumes as Church and State become allies. The 18th Century historian Edward Gibbon wrote "Pax Romana" (Roman Peace) was the most glorious in all human history." And it was Cicero, the Roman orator and statesman who wrote, "Not to know what happened before we were born is to remain perpetually a child. For what is the worth of human life unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history." Author: Keith Worthington Format: Paperback, 205 pages Price: $13.85 plus postage
