It will provide a novel resource for students and practitioners in the fields of dementia, health care and social care.

The New Testament books were written to be read aloud. The original audiences of these texts would have been unfamiliar with our current practice of reading silently and processing with our eyes rather than our ears, so we can learn much about the New Testament through performing it ourselves. Richard Ward and David Trobisch are here to help. Bringing the Word to Life walks the reader through what we know about the culture of performance in the first and second centuries, what it took to perform an early New Testament manuscript, the benefits of performance for teaching, and practical suggestions for exploring New Testament texts through performance today.

Although Adam Scott is a design engineer for Struthers-Ergen, he has strong links with his upbringing on an outback cattle station in the state of Victoria, Australia. When he receives strange letters from his ailing grandfather in a rest home in Melbourne, he decides to combine a visit to him with a survey of irrigation needs in Victoria. The grandfather dies before he gets to Melbourne, but the mystery of the letters containing crude sketches of a boomerang remain. Adam visits the family's long-abandoned cattle station and recalls times when, just as the station was about to succumb financially, his grandfather would disappear and return with money to bail it out. While Adam is in Australia, the firm is slowly losing money through the unexplained loss of contracts. Will there be a link between the last-minute bailing out of the cattle station and recovery of the irrigation manufacturer? Written in a fast-paced style, this book will appeal to the adventurous.
