BONHOEFFER by Metaxas Eric the New York Times best selling author of Amazing Grace...................$19.92 A groundbreaking biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century, the man who stood up to Hitler.
A definitive, deeply moving narrative, Bonhoeffer is a story of moral courage in the face of the monstrous evil that was Nazism.
After discovering the fire of true faith in a Harlem church, Bonhoeffer returned to Germany and became one of the first to speak out against Hitler. As a double-agent, he joined the plot to assassinate the Fuhrer, and was hanged in Flossenberg concentration camp at age 39. Since his death, Bonhoeffer's story has grown to be one of the most fascinating and complex of the 20th century.
Bonhoeffer presents a profoundly orthodox Christian theologian whose faith led him to boldly confront the greatest evil of the 20th century, and uncovers never-before-revealed facts, including the story of his passionate romance.
CHRISTIANITY ALONGSIDE ISLAM by Bishop John Wilson $39.95
"This book gives a clear analysis of the different perspectives of Christianity and Islam - in particular the way they look at language, scriptures, and the mission of Jesus. The book does not shy away from the problem of radical Islamism. Readers will find it useful in understanding the challenges of the contemporary world."
Peter Costello, Australian Federal Treasurer, 1996 - 2007.
"Christianity Alongside Islam succeeds in digesting a vast amount of information about both Christianity and Islam and presenting it in a way that is very accessible to non-specialist readers. Its readers will be equipped to engage with some of the most pressing issues facing the church and the world in the years ahead."
Professor Peter Riddell, Centre for the Study of Islam and Other Faiths.
"DISAPPOINTED WITH JESUS" By Gavin Calver ................................$12.95
Of a group of 10 to 15 people," writes the author, "only one other person and myself are still going for God. Those who packed it in claimed to be disappointed with Jesus. Really they were disappointed with church."
Today, still in his twenties, Gavin is on the leadership team of Youth for Christ, but his personal pilgrimage hasn't always been easy. It was tough living up to the expectations of a preacher's son and he knows that you cannot survive on inherited faith.
This is an 'insider's' view on why young people give up on God, and an attempt to help them develop faith robust enough to survive the adolescent years.

INVESTIGATING JESUS by John Dickson ............$14.95
John Dickson is in top form in providing this apologetic for the historical Jesus through answering some of the most pressing questions like:
Who wrote the New Testament?
How soon after Christ was it written?
How do we know the story hasn't changed over the years?
Who decided which bits got into the New Testament and which bits didn't?
Did anyone else in Jesus' day write about him? Why didn't he write the message down himself?
Today there is renewed interest in and scepticism towards the historical basis of Christianity. "The Jesus Files" is soundly based on historical and New Testament scholarship, and presented in a readable way for the enquirer who wants answers to questions about the hot issue of the historical basis of the Christian faith.
The author takes us through what we can realistically know about the life of Jesus from ancient pagan and Jewish writings as well as NT and near contemporary Christian sources. The author argues that the gospels deserve to be read seriously
