More than ever, Christians need to know what the Bible actually teaches about parenting, and put it into practice.

Parents today seek answers from child experts, self-help books, or equally confused friends. But even the experts portray modern-day childbearing as a minefield strewn with psychological dangers and emotional hazards.

"What the Bible Says About Parenting" is not a book on child psychology, nor is it proposing a new parenting method. It is simply presenting the principles of biblical parenting with as much clarity as possible. John MacArthur, a leading expert on the Bible and an experienced pastor, teacher, father, and grandfather goes into depth on such vital biblical parenting subjects as these:

• Four helpful principles of communication
• Effective methods to discipline wisely and effectively, with positive results
• Simple principles for identifying, changing, and developing habits in your children

"I'm convinced that if Christian parents understand and apply the simple principles Scripture sets forth, they can rise above the trends of secular society and bring up their children in a way that honors Christ, in any culture and under any circumstances." ―John MacArthur

Schleiermacher maintained that "to make proselytes out of unbelievers is deeply engrained in the character of religion." But why do religions proselytize? Do all religions seek conversions? How are religions adapting their proclamations in a deeply plural world? This book provides a detailed analysis of the missionary impulse as it is manifested across a range of religious and irreligious traditions. World Religions and Their Missions systematically compares the motives and methods of the "missions" of Atheism, the Baha'i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Mormonism. The text also develops innovative frameworks for interreligious encounters and comparative mission studies.

In the late nineteenth century, a small community of Native Hawaiian Mormons established a settlement in heart of The Great Basin, in Utah. The community was named Iosepa, after the prophet and sixth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Joseph F. Smith. The inhabitants of Iosepa struggled against racism, the ravages of leprosy, and economic depression, by the early years of the twentieth century emerging as a modern, model community based on ranching, farming, and an unwavering commitment to religious ideals. Yet barely thirty years after its founding the town was abandoned, nearly all of its inhabitants returning to Hawaii. Years later, Native Hawaiian students at nearby Brigham Young University, descendants of the original settlers, worked to clean the graves of Iosepa and erect a monument to memorialize the settlers. Remembering Iosepa connects the story of this unique community with the earliest Native Hawaiian migrants to western North America and the vibrant and growing community of Pacific Islanders in the Great Basin today. It traces the origins and growth of the community in the tumultuous years of colonial expansion into the Hawaiian islands, as well as its relationship to white Mormons, the church leadership, and the Hawaiian government. In the broadest sense, Mathew Kester seeks to explain the meeting of Mormons and Hawaiians in the American West and to examine the creative adaptations and misunderstandings that grew out of that encounter.

Christianity faces its greatest challenge yet - the rapid spread of Islam in almost every country. The purpose of this book is to alert leadership, to inform the Church and others, and to inspire God's people to action. It relates what Islam is doing, why this is so, and how God is responding. It shows how God's people may successfully face this challenge with confidence. The author, Stuart Robinson, was formerly the Senior Pastor of Crossway in Melbourne. Before that he worked for 14 years in South Asia where he pioneered church planting among Muslims. He now travels extensively as a speaker at conferences. He is the author of several books including: - Defying Death: Zakaria Botross - Apostle to Islam; The Prayer Of Obedience; The Challenge Of Islam. He graduated from the Baptist Theological College of Queensland, the University of Queensland, the Melbourne College of Divinity and Fuller Theological Seminary. Stuart was born in Brisbane and is married to Margaret. They have three married children

The Book Living Every Moment Rightly for Jesus can be summarised as: As a Christian, where ever you are, whatever you do, remember you are the messenger. Your life should speak for Jesus. If we belong to Christ, people must see changes in our lives (2 Corinthians 5:17). Christianity is about transformation which gives us a new life, a new heart and a new self (Ephesians 4:22-24). Apostle Paul tells us that this transformation involves renewal of our minds (Romans 12:1-2). He goes further and says that this renewal is about having a new mindset or attitude that you find in Christ himself (Philippians 2:5-8). The Church is where Christians are equipped for the Ministry of Jesus (Ephesians 4:11-12). People cannot advance Spiritually apart from what they hear on the pulpit. Christians bear fruit outside the four walls of the Church. They have been commanded to carry the Good News (the Gospel) which has transformed their lives to people around them through their personal examples. Christians should not expect people around them to accept their doctrine and ignore their personal examples. Our personal examples are what will win souls for Jesus. Jesus is our Saviour and King. He gave His life to pay for our sins and to serve Him faithfully with passion will change the world. The crowd needs God's grace (Joel LIVING EVERY MOMENT RIGHTLY FOR JESUS 3:14). To serve the Lord faithfully with gladness is serving for the Kingdom purpose. It is a call to serve as against volunteering which means I am doing you a favour. To serve is a manifestation of Christianity; Jesus served (Matt hew 20:28). As Christians, we are all in the Ministry of Jesus. The change (transformation) in our lives (new heart, new mind and new self) should be reciprocated in our communities, workplace, political and social life just to mention but a few. The Word of Spirit and of Power: "For just as the sufferings of Christ fl ow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows" (2 Corinthians 1:5).
