One of the world’s most admired preachers offers practical, wise advice for some of the most basic tasks of ministry: preparing, delivering, and evaluating sermons; planning, leading, and evaluating worship services; offering public prayers; and celebrating baptism and the Lord’s Supper. |
Prayers, tips and stories for those who look after others. The author throws out lifelines to those drowning in responsibilities in short chapters on beginnings, fear, grief, hope, challenges, gifts, burnout and balance. Though a small book in size, it is generous in heart and wisdom. |

When Sara Miles wandered into church and received communion she was transformed and embraced the Christian faith she had once scorned. Before long, she turned the bread she ate at communion into tons of groceries, piled on the church’s altar to be given away. Within a few years, she and the people she served had started nearly a dozen food pantries in the poorest parts of their city. A rich, engaging memoir. |
Tap into the desire for new forms of church and the rising tide of hope felt by many Christians. First published as Church of the Isles by Ray Simpson, for a British audience, the authors now explore how Celtic wisdom & spirituality can be applied in Australia & NZ.

Jim Wallis, is founder of Sojourners, a
US network of progressive Christians working for justice and peace. He discusses

the religious right’s agenda, can first take comfort in their sheer numbers and
then take action in their communities to fight poverty, clean up the environment
and eradicate disease. Passionate, engaging and moving. |
