Paperback

Author: Dallas Willard

Jesus : A 21st Century biography

NZ$ 40.00 each

Hardback

Author: Paul Johnson

Published by: Viking (Penguin)

In Stock: 1

From the bestselling author and acclaimed historian, a powerful portrayal of the life of Jesus
Is Jesus relevant to us today? Few figures have had such an influA-ence on history as Jesus of Nazareth. His teachings have inspired discussion, arguments, even war, and yet few have ever held forth as movingly on the need for peace, forgiveness, and mercy. Paul Johnson's brilliant reading offers readers a lively biography of the man who inspired one of the world's great religions and whose lesA-sons still guide us in current times.
Johnson's magisterial and revered book "A History of Christianity" is a masterpiece of historical writing on religion; and in his new book he returns to focus on a central figure in one of the world's dominant religions. Johnson's intelligent and converA-sational style, as well as his ability to distill complex subjects into succinct, highly readable works, make this book the ideal match of a major ... more

Such is Life! A close encounter with Ecclesiastes

order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Paperback

Author: Lloyd Geering

Published by: Steele Roberts & Associates

In Stock: 1

Though 23 centuries have passed since a Jewish sage calling himself the Proclaimer (Ecclesiastes) set down his thoughts about life, they are strangely in tune with today's secular age. Lloyd Geering has ingeniously brought Ecclesiastes to life in a series of dialogues with him, which show that, in today's terminology, Ecclesiastes was a free-thinker, a humanist and an existentialist. In fact, this biblical heretic is at odds with the rest of the Bible - he finds no discernible thread of purpose in life or the universe, and proposes that though Nature operates in cycles, much of human life is determined by sheer chance. The role of the sage, as Ecclesiastes saw it, was not to pass on gems of eternal wisdom, but to goad us to think things out for ourselves in our search for meaning.

God is Back : How the Global Rise of Faith is Changing the World

order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Paperback

Author: John Micklethwait & Adrian Wooldridge

Published by: Penguin Books Ltd

In Stock: 1

As the world becomes more modern, it is not becoming more secular. Instead, on the street and in the corridors of power, religion is surging. As God is Back shows, for better or for worse, faith is on the increase - fuelled by an American-style model of personal, customer-driven, aggressively marketed religion. Shining a light on this huge, hidden world of faith, from Californian megachurches to exorcisms in Sao Paulo, from China's aspirant middle-class Christians to mosques in Nigeria, this book shows that if you want to understand the modern world, you cannot afford to ignore God - whether you believe in Him or not.

On Death

Paperback

Author: John Donne

Published by: Hesperus Press Ltd

Dean of St Paul's, John Donne was feted in his day not just as a poet but also as an inspired and inspiring preacher, and these four extended meditations on death are amongst his most powerful and dramatic writings. The magnificent 'Death's Duel' is published here alongside his Lent sermons for the two previous years (1628 and 1629), along with his Easter Day sermon of 1619, preached on the occasion of the King's sickness. Together they create a fascinating study of early seventeenth-century attitudes towards death.

For it is not what you are nor what you have been that God regards with his most merciful eyes, but what you would like to be.THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING is one of the classic medieval texts on contemplative prayer. Written anonymously towards the end of the fourteenth century for someone just starting out on the journey of faith, it dwells on the essential unknowability of God.
