"The Apostles' Creed is a treasure trove of basic Christian beliefs and wisdom that helps ensure the integrity and orthodoxy of our faith.
Sadly, modern churches have often hesitated to embrace the ancient creeds because of our 'nothing but the Bible' tradition. In?What Christians Ought to Believe, Second Edition?Michael Bird will open your eyes to the possibilities of the Apostles' Creed as a way to explore and understand the essential teachings of the Christian faith. This updated edition enhances the explanations to provide even more thorough expositions and illustrations of the basic tenets of Christian faith.
Bringing together theological commentary, tips for application, and memorable illustrations,?What Christians Ought to Believe, Second Edition?summarizes the basic tenets of the Christian faith using the Apostles' Creed as its entryway. After first emphasizing the importance of creeds for the formation of the Christian faith, each chapter, following the Creed's outline, introduces the Father, the Son, and the Spirit and the Church. An appendix includes the Apostles' Creed in the original Latin and Greek, as well as the Nicene Creed.
What Christians Ought to Believe, Second Edition?is ideally suited for both the classroom and the church setting to teach beginning students and laypersons the basics of what Christians ought to affirm if they are to be called Christians."
"A glimpse into a life less ordinary from one of the world's most prolific BASE jumpers and infamous party animals, Chris 'Douggs' McDougall. This riotous and often touching life story gives an insight into the world of hyper extreme sports where death lurks at every corner. Douggs faces the challenge armed with a case of beer, a wry sense of humour and an attitude that catches the authorities flat-footed."
"1970's Australia…
When the world is thrown into a downward spiral of chaos, four very different people from the darkness will fight their way across the vastness of the great southern land.
Men turn to countrymen, who have now become enemies. Each man must look within in order to overcome their worst nightmares; or worse, to become them...
The nightmare is not of the man who stands to face them, but from he who resides deep within…"
"When 10-year-old James Pittar started having trouble seeing at night he could never have predicted that within a decade, his vision would be all but gone. For a kid that dreamed of representing his country, it was a hard blow. And for most people, it would have spelled the end of that dream. But not for James.
Just a few months shy of his thirtieth birthday, James did what no blind person has ever done before – he swam the English Channel. It signalled a shift in his mindset – from that point onwards, he would never think of himself as the underdog. He would learn that disability is only a barrier if you let it be.
James is incredibly generous in sharing his experiences and emotions, and it’s hard not to be drawn in as he takes us on a personal journey through his childhood, the loss of vision in his teens, the decision not to let it define him, and his continual dedication to growth and self-improvement throughout his life.
Blind Vision is a fascinating account of a unique and inspiring career in open-water swimming. But more than that, it is a story for anyone that’s ever been told they can’t. James Pittar is living proof that no matter what the odds, with dedication, passion, and the right people around you, you can."
"How a better understanding of genre leads to a better understanding of the biblical text.
The Bible, with its gloriously rich diversity of ancient genres, demands a flexible and historically aware approach to genre. Different conceptions of narrative, poetry, gospel, epistle, wisdom, and apocalyptic texts lead to vastly different readings, and our disagreements about what the Bible means often boil down to different assumptions about what the biblical text is. As secular genre theory has experienced a recent renaissance, biblical studies has been left in the dark ages of rigid taxonomies and stubborn essentialism.
The Bible deserves better.
This book offers students in biblical studies an accessible but comprehensive introduction to modern genre theory, providing access to literary tools for understanding how writers and readers use genre to make meaning.
Modern Genre Theory describes the current state of biblical genre theory (as well as the meaning of form criticism and why it needs to die). Scholar of biblical hermeneutics Andrew Judd then presents a better alternative of interpretation based on the best developments in secular literary theory, linguistics, and rhetorical studies.
Drawing on advancements in modern genre theory, Judd:
- Proposes a working definition of genre for biblical studies.
- Identifies twelve tenets of modern genre theory that follow from seeing genres in their historical and social context.
- Offers eight case studies in biblical exegesis to show how a better understanding of genre leads to a better understanding of the Bible.
From the creation accounts of Genesis to the visions of Revelation, it is important to get a handle on genre. This book offers a way to reading the Bible better.

"A young couple, Peter and Marcia decide to spend a weekend in the country. They find an isolated beach on a deserted stretch of the Australian coastline and set up their campsite for the weekend.
Suddenly, strange incidents begin to happen as they are attacked by the wildlife. The strange incidents gradually escalate—and so does the terror. Both Peter and Marcia get lost in the bush and discover the animals blocking their path. It becomes apparent that the animals are herding them, and they have no choice but to go—but where?
For the first time, this classic Aussie Thriller is masterfully expanded into a tense novelization by award-winning author Brett McBean.
“McBean’s voice is one that should be heard – a hint of Laymon and Koontz, yet distinctly his own.” — Brian Keene, author of The Rising and Terminal"
"When Barry Ottoman's idyllic, solitary, lifestyle is shattered by the appearance of unwanted interlopers with a mysterious agenda and intent on harm, he must call upon his vast knowledge of Australia's northern rain-forest's flora and fauna, to effect an escape from a deadly pursuit."
"A new threat challenges the human race years after Covid-19 ravaged the globe. Far worse, infinitely more infectious, it strikes swiftly and definitively, devastating the population.

What they find, what they become, wasn't anything they could ever have imagined. Truly the end."

"Two brothers in conflict sire half-twin sons, as they battle to determine the fate of a property dynasty. Intertwined conflict and humour are the lifestyle hallmarks of the relationship between 18 year old twins Aaron and Josh. Aaron, as the too-young manager of the family's large rural property, sees himself as in his rightful position. Josh (as a worker on
the property) sees his own rightful position as not having to take orders from Aaron. One instance of their difficult relationship results in Josh having to take the blame for Aaron's irresponsible driving, when Aaron nearly causes a head-on collision with a Highway Patrol car. Tash (Aaron's girlfriend) becomes pregnant to both Josh and Aaron, that is with half-twin sons due to heteropaternal superfecundation and they all have to live with the consequences.
Due to the untimely death of their Grandfather, Charlie, Aaron and Josh find themselves bidding against each other at a public auction for their shares of the family property. Elizabeth, Mother of Aaron and Josh, has their secret past outed to her sons. A financially over-committed Aaron is forced to sell his part of the property to Chinese investors. As the supreme irony, Josh becomes a resentful Aaron's boss. The 5 year old sons of Josh and Aaron act beyond their years to protect Tash from Aaron's excesses towards her. Aaron accepts that he has been the cause of much family conflict."
"Turning Around a Troubled School is the story of a very public leadership challenge in reversing the fortunes of a failing government school in the affluent eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. The school population had crashed from over one thousand students to just over two hundred and fifty and the school had been given only twelve months to turn around otherwise it would be closed. Peter Hutton, a new principal with a bold vision took on the task. Eight years later the population had grown to over one thousand, and the school was recognised internationally as one of the most innovative in the world.
The book provides practical insights into the steps taken to turn the school around, the challenges faced and the milestones that reveal that a school culture is moving.
This is the personal leadership story of the first two years of that journey of school renewal told with Peter’s unique form of brutal honesty that will hopefully support and encourage other school leaders facing similar tough times"
