New Testament: The Big Word for Kids

ANONYMOUS

Since its first publication in 1989, the New Revised Standard Version has become a popular Bible Translation with Catholics.

NRSV Thinline Bible Encyclopaedia Schools Catholic Edition

Perhaps we have done to our bodies what we have so long done to God? 
We have demanded they conform to the image we find the most desirable. 
We have treated them as rubbish bins, weapons and punching bags. 
We have muted their wills until their voices have fallen silent. 
At 23, Anna McGahan was wrestling with the rest of the world for ownership of her femininity, sexuality and physicality. As a young actor thrust into the spotlight as a poster girl for sexual liberation - intent on exploring the next relationship, the lowest weight and the wildest high - her path pointed her to chaos, starvation and isolation. 
Until - unexpectedly - she met God. 
In this memoir, Anna shares the story of reconciling with her body, mapping its journey from another product in a marketplace, to a vessel of inherent power and worth. 
Metanoia is the cry of a body broken and resurrected, the song of a bird set free.

'This book is about Jesus. It is about my journey toward Jesus. Which may sound strange to some of you, but it is true. It is a journey of losing a Jesus that was too small and looked way too much like me, to a Jesus that began to mesmerise me ... I fell in love once more with the Jesus that I found in the pages of the Bible, a Jesus I could follow again. Once more, yet very different to what it once was. Same. Same. But different. One stitch and one stitch. Woven back together. A garment for any season of faith and doubt and wrestle and struggle.' In Woven, Joel McKerrow takes us on a pilgrimage, from childhood faith to grief over a lost religion, to a richer, more sustaining faith that was previously unimaginable to him. This is a demanding and compelling account of what it means to rethink our Christian belief and find restoration in an authentic faith in Christ, to be born again into the expansiveness of God's unconditional love and be part of his grand and beautiful story of salvation.

The relationship between Christianity and Islam is complex. This collection of essays by scholars and human rights activists engages with some of the most pressing issues in Christian-Muslim relations, addressing matters of theology, the encounter between civilisations and inter-religious affairs. Some of the most controversial and sensitive questions are considered, ranging from sacred text to the politics of multiculturalism. These are key questions for the 21st century, a period when Christianity and Islam are destined to interact more closely than ever before in human history.

Almost every day for 35 years, Arthur Stacespent hours writing a single word – Eternity – on and around the streets of Sydney. Sometimes his mission took him much further afield, to country New South Wales and even to Melbourne.
Stace’s identity was a mystery for more than two decades. Then, after his ‘unmasking’ in 1956, he became a reluctant folk hero. By the time he died, in 1967, his was a household name and the word Eternity was ingrained in the soul of Sydney. It still is.
In this long-awaited biography, the full story of Arthur Stace’s life is told for the first time in vivid and often surprising detail. Drawing upon many original sources, some never before made public, this book will engross Christians and non-believers alike – anyone who loves a great Australian story.

The practice of 'mindfulness' has moved from its roots in psychological therapy into the mainstream of today's popular culture, where it is marketed as a path to health and wellbeing. A mental exercise that takes a few minutes a day seems like an easy fix to life's problems, the perfect antidote to the frantic pace of our lives.
But does mindfulness work, and if so, how? Is it backed by scientific evidence? And given its links to Buddhist thought, can therapeutic mindfulness be practised in ways that are consistent with a Christian worldview?
In Christ-Centred Mindfulness, academic and experienced mental health worker Katherine Thompson addresses these questions and highlights mindfulness-related practices that have been used within the church for hundreds of years - practices that help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves and make space to listen for God's guidance in everyday life. Dr Thompson draws on this rich tradition to present Christian mindfulness exercises that can be used to enrich our prayer lives, help us to draw near to God and grow in Christlikeness.
Whether you're a Christian who is curious about mindfulness practice and its benefits, or you work in a counselling profession and are trying to sort through your own approach to mindfulness-based therapies, this book is for you.
