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.

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.

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.
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.
The Tortoise Usually Wins is a delightful exploration of the theory
of quiet leadership. Written for reluctant leaders, it interacts
with three key biblical images of leadership - the leader as
servant, shepherd and steward - and links them with some of the key
virtues of quiet leadership - modesty, restraint, tenacity,
interdependence and other-centeredness. Exploding the myth that the
good is the enemy of the best, it argues that the reverse is more
often true, with images of unattainable perfection crippling
competent people from getting on with the task of doing genuinely
good things. The book strips leadership of some of its mystique,
arguing that the bulk of leadership is about helping groups decide
the right things to do and then getting on and doing them in an
atmosphere that brings the best out of others. Brian Harris is the
principal of a highly regarded theological seminary and also
pastors a thriving local church, so the book carries the wisdom of
both professor and pastor, satisfying the reader both
intellectually and practically. These insights are supplemented by
interviews with significant quiet leaders from around the world,
ensuring a rich feast for prospective and current reluctant
leaders. 'Books on leadership are today two a penny. Just
occasionally, however, one of these books might stand head and
shoulders above most of the others, and to my delight The Tortoise
Usually Wins falls into that category. Furthermore, so many books
on leadership are written for natural leaders; whereas, as the
author makes clear, most churches are led by "quiet leaders" who
know they are not great, but nonetheless, are "tenacious and
committed to the task and willing to work co-operatively with
others to achieve it". I can see many church leaders benefitting
from this book. I warmly commend this unusual book.' Paul

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.
