'Son of His Works' and 'Rachel Hardcastle'.
When the New Atheists famously coined the phrase 'There's probably
no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life,' they implicitly
suggested that it was no longer reasonable to believe in God. Brian
Harris tackles three of the most common accusations made against
the Christian faith, namely that Christianity is intellectually
vacuous, morally suspect and experientially empty. He looks at each
accusation in turn, outlining the issue in the first chapter of
each section, then looking at evidence against the claim before
evaluating the argument as a whole. He is clear that he is not
trying to 'prove' that Christianity is true as he acknowledges that
absolute proof is impossible in this life, and in reality there are
many tough and challenging questions to be faced - whether you are
a Christian believer, a believer in another faith, an agnostic or
an atheist. This book explores these questions in a rigorous but
accessible way. It doesn't offer easy, solve everything answers,
but it does build a cumulative case based on reason, history and
experience to suggest that God probably exists, and that the
Christian understanding of God could well be valid.
Dark Comedy / Flexible Casting; 2m, 1f or 6m, 3f / Simple Sets Tall
Grass is a dark comedy comprised of three one-act plays. Each play
requires two males and a female and the same three actors can play
the roles for each play. THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL begins with a
botched marriage proposal by a nice young man to his type-A
girlfriend, who instead informs him that she has just accepted a
position to become his boss. Over the next six-months the two try
to sort out what they really want out of their professional and
personal lives. The solution comes as a surprise, both to
themselves and to the audience. The play also features a comic
waiter and some voice-overs which can be done by the same actor.
THE GERBIL is the story of a burglar caught breaking into the home
of a dysfunctional couple, whose love for their daughter is the
glue keeping their marriage together. The brutal ending reveals the
harm their marriage has taken on the daughter, although she never
appears on stage. In TALL GRASS we find an octogenarian couple
fighting to maintain their independence. The arrival of a
mysterious social worker tests the true extent of their resolve.
Following the huge success of The Tortoise Usually Wins, 2012, and
The Big Picture, 2015, in When Faith Turns Ugly Brian Harris
explores why the Christian faith sometimes wears two masks -
usually life-serving and transforming, but occasionally escapist,
illusionary and even poisonous. What are the warning signs that
faith is at risk of turning toxic? What do we mean by the
conviction that the gospel liberates? Brian Harris' take on what
constitutes life-serving faith is refreshing and will be
appreciated by all who would like to be sure that their obedience
to Jesus the Christ will help to build a world with a better name.
The Literature of the Law brings together examples of the very best
in judicial pronouncements over four centuries and two
continents.
Assembled into themes, such as life and death deicisions, freedom
of speech and the protection of minorities, they form a fascinating
summary of the law's interaction with society. The Literature of
the Law also paints an intriguing and sometimes humorous picture of
the lawyer's life in and out of court, illustrating with examples
some of the different styles of advocacy.
The text is stripped of legal references, which might get in the
way of the general reader, and is finished with a number of line
illustrations of legal London.
A firm understanding of our faith is increasingly important in a
world of differing beliefs and perspectives. If we do not have the
knowledge to underpin our beliefs we are in danger of appearing
shallow to unimpressed onlookers. What we really need is the
building blocks of faith. We need a sense of how what we believe
will work out in practice. This accessible yet thought-provoking
book equips us with the key building blocks of the Christian faith.
From these strong foundations, an authentic and robust Christian
faith can thrive as we live and work in the secular arena. Discover
solid biblical foundations to live out a confident faith in an
ever-changing context.
