By Australian Johnny Burns, this CD is full of crazy praise pop songs that Kids LOVE! Tested and recommended by childrens’ ministers from SU and CTM. Putting beat and rhythm and colour into singing their hearts out for God!

Winner of the Christian Book of the Year, this is a valuable book for all Christians who have heard the call to love their neighbour in the local as well as global sense. Compassionate, practical and wise.
Highly recommended.

Australian theologian, evangelist and author John Dickson gives us a ‘lively and sensible’ book on evangelism. It’s a task for all believers, and one that can be based on the joy of true understanding of the scriptures and personal experience of the spirit. An informative and encouraging book for all Christians.

Australian Peter Crawford tells the story of Cockatoo – a small town destroyed in the Ash Wednesday Fires, and it’s rise again to become a thriving and colourful Christian community. An experience of the power of God’s love and healing, an experience our God-given power of love and healing.

‘Do we worship Jesus or an institution?’
So asked Australian Veronica Brady, activist, writer and catholic nun. Kath Jordan gives us this scintillating biography of a woman who is remembered amongst Christians, academics and politicians as one of our ‘most precious assets’ (although some would say Pope John Paul used to wake up every morning saying “Is she dead yet?”)

Local author Ash Barker shares first hand experience of the richness and life experienced when we follow Christ into sharing the daily reality of the majority of the world’s population.
The Bible repeatedly calls for the end of poverty and consequent oppression and suffering. Ash Barker and his family have answered the call with conviction and action and this book is a powerful testimony to what God does when we answer the call.

Ash Barker is a great Australian example of incarnational mission.
This book is his call to see more followers of Jesus truly follow Jesus in going ‘below the shallowness of our culture, to gain our lives by losing them and to take up the socially ‘downward journey’ to complement our inward and outwards journeys’.
If you are looking for a path that will bring you close to who Jesus was and is, this is surely one of the lamps that will show you that way.
