How do you believe the Bible all fits together?\nYour answer to that question will influence the way you read and interpret its different parts. It also affects your understanding of Jesus, salvation, the church, mission, and your identity as one of God's redeemed people. Unfortunately, some have created an artificial division between the Old and New Testaments because they have overlooked a fundamental part of the Biblical narrative, which in turn affects their reading of Scripture.\nIn Forgotten Covenant, R.L. Watson helps to recover this neglected detail as he shows that the Bible contains one continuous narrative, driven by the fulfilment of the Covenant Promises made with Abraham. By reading, you will gain not only a deepened understanding of how the Abrahamic Covenant gives a map for God's plan of redemption, but you will also be able to recognise its influence on: The Exodus, The occupation of the Promised Land, The exile and return, The person and work of Christ, The spread of the Gospel, and The final, eternal condition.\nMore than that, you will be encouraged by the faithfulness and sovereignty of God, be better equipped to understand the Scriptures more deeply, and have a greater appreciation for the significance of that man called Abraham.

The White Dove Triumphs

With wit, humour and a good deal of self-deprecation, Dr Ross James reflects on 40 years of living and working internationally. Ross is a story teller who draws on personal journals and correspondence to tell the story of what happened after he left a family funeral business and yielded to the leading of Providence.\nRoss explains an Ascent, a 20-year period of preparation as a journalist, academic and researcher. The ascent of preparation levelled out on the Crest of purpose, what was to be his life's work, motivated by the teachings of Jesus whose life exemplified care for the marginalised and poor. He lived and worked in several Asian countries then relocated to Australia and led initiatives to develop community-centred media projects throughout Asia.\nAfter detailing the Ascent and explaining the Crest, in Perspective Ross reflects on achievements concurrent with clinical depression accompanied by despair and loss of joy. Some excerpts from his personal journals are painful reading; some revelations are vulnerable honesty. Yet, Ross accepts a proposition that depression might have been a 'gift of a handicap' which compelled him to depend on Providence to overcome his limitations. His startling conclusion is that he is, after all, a bamboo camel, designed with specifications to fulfil a providential purpose.\nThis is neither a book on Christian mission or depression nor a devotional about a victorious Christian life. It is a memoir, a truly authentic reflection of someone's dependence on Providence to maintain a steadfast life lived in response to circumstances that few are called upon to endure.

When thirty seven year-old Australian dentist, Graham Toulmin, told his bank manager in 1985 he was selling his practice and moving, with his wife Wendy and four young children, to a remote location in Central Africa to try to set up a pioneering dental service within the Anglican Church, the response was, 'Toulmin, you've got rocks in your head'!Long Road to Zaïre, told with compassion, insight and more than a dash of humour, is the inspiring story of the Toulmin's journey that led to this family of six leaving Australia and arriving in the bustling African town of Butembo in the mountainous region of eastern Zaïre.Looking back over half a lifetime, Graham addresses the question that their bank manager raised, a question that some of their children, now adults with children of their own, have also jokingly raised: 'Mum and Dad, what were you thinking'?This is the story of 'why' and 'how' Graham and Wendy embarked on their long road to Zaïre, beginning for Graham when, growing up as a boy in the town of Wollongong, south of Sydney, he was forced to make an emergency trip to the dentist.

'This memoir is achingly beautiful.' Nathan Tasker 
Can a Christian be anxious and still have faith? 
When nineteen-year-old Nikki lost her older brother, Greg, in a car accident, her stable world of faith and family became unsafe overnight. This was followed by a painful, decades-long journey with clinical anxiety and panic disorder-a journey that involved both seasons of trying to fight and flee from the pain-and, eventually, the beginnings of an expanded, reawakened faith. 
For the ever-increasing number of people suffering the pain of anxiety, for the weary, for those who fear they have failed themselves, others, and God; for strung-out believers constantly stretching and straining for a piece of peace; this book is a reminder that wherever we stand, Jesus-our older brother, our refuge, and our fellow sufferer-is ever near, beckoning us to come join him on the journey. 
The raw honesty, combined with eloquence, make this compelling reading. I could not put it down. Steve Baird, CEO International Justice Mission, Australia 
This book is for everyone whose post-2020 life looks like 'a crushed question mark'. In the days of global pandemic and gaping loneliness and loss, Nikki isn't afraid to look hard questions in the eye and offers an answer from the gut of her lifelong and unlikely friendship with anxiety. Lisa-Jo Baker, bestselling author of Never Unfriended and co-host of the Out of the Ordinary podcast. 
Blessedly free of trite theological and pastoral bromides, Nikki invites us to take refuge in the arms of a gracious and compassionate God, one who knows and numbers all our anxious tears. Rev Dr Ian Maddock, senior theology lecturer.

In The Future is Bivocational, Andrew Hamilton casts a compelling vision for bivocational mission and ministry. He not only provides a strong biblical and missiological rationale for bivocational leadership, but he also shares practical insight on the benefits and challenges of being bivocational. I really love this book. I will recommend it often to pastors and church planters.Brad Brisco, Director of Bivocational Church Planting for the North AmericanMission Board and author of Missional Essentials and Next Door as It Is in Heaven 
Andrew is an experienced and insightful bivocational pastor. He has written a challenging book, calling the church to reconsider its bivocational roots and to explore this dimension as the means to a healthy and vibrant missional future. The Future is Bivocational ought to be read and taken seriously by all pastors who seek effective missional engagement and connection with the world around them.Alan Hirsch, Founding Director of Forge Mission Training Network 
This book is the most important book I've read on ministry in the last decade. Bivocational ministry is not just a fad. This form of ministry has deep roots in the church's history and is the most common form of ministry in World Christianity. Bivocational ministry is revolutionising our current practices of ministry. Andrew Hamilton writes out of deep conviction and practical experience. This book shows us how to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the bivocational life. The future is bivocational. Every church leader should read this book. Andrew Hamilton's book should be on the reading list of all ministry teams and in every ministry training program.Graham Joseph Hill Author of "Holding Up Half the Sky"and State Leader for Baptist Mission Australia WA
