Breakout is the story of one church's rediscovery of a Spirit empowered, New Testament model of church.

Christianity Magazine Book of the Year.

It is an honest, inspiring testimony to the truth that the Gospel of Jesus still maintains its life-changing power and God's people still have it in them to change the world.

St Andrew's Chorleywood has been at the forefront of church renewal for over three decades. In the last five years, it has seen substantial growth as the congregation has moved from drawing people to one place, to a model in which well over a thousand believers have been sent out in mission-shaped communities of up to 50 members, meeting in school halls, community centres, coffee shops and other contexts.

This daring move has resulted in the raising up of over a hundred new leaders, a massive release of spiritual gifts, great vision and creativity in outreach, and major growth through evangelism.

The Resurrection Code reads like a well crafted mystery that carries the reader along with successive intrigues, hints and clues to a truly satisfying resolution that leaves the faithful both informed and inspired. With the adroitness of a skilled sleuth, Stibbe sorts out various puzzles in the 'Easter enigma' recorded in chapter 20 of the Fourth Gospel. In one of the most charming literary compositions in all the Bible, indeed all of literature, in The Resurrection Code we learn who the author is of the Fourth Gospel the identity and possible background of the mysterious figure (mentioned nowhere else in the New Testament) that John repeatedly refers to as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved' the likely timing of Jesus' resurrection from the grave and encounter with Mary (contrary to the conventional Sunday dawn scenario) why John's gospel (unlike the other gospels) points out details of Jesus' grave clothes left behind in the tomb and what they signify how the two angels posted at each end of the slab where Jesus lay may supply an interpretive key that unlocks the deeper meaning of Jesus' enigmatic encounter with Mary Magdalene why Jesus says to Mary, 'Do not touch me!' when later he invites the apostle Thomas to touch his hands and side. Mark Stibbe has a remarkable gift of teaching the Scriptures in a way that makes it real, relevant, applicable and life-changing. A gifted teacher, Mark's ministry has impacted my life in a profound way.' Ruth Graham - Director of Ruth Graham Ministries and daughter of Billy Graham

In this compelling book, Mark Stibbe argues that God wants to use Christians to speak prophetically into the lives of unbelievers, waking them up to the fact that Jesus is alive and he knows their every thought, word and action. There are many biblical examples of God's people using prophecy in their witness to unbelievers. Jesus used prophecy in His ministry to seekers. After Pentecost, God gave the gift of prophecy to believers as one resource among many in their witness to the world. Furthermore, Christians today receive prophecies for those who don't know Christ, often with immediate and life-changing effects. This book contains many such testimonies.

In his new book, Mark Stibbe reminds us that we have a loving, generous Father who delights to give his children gifts, especially the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Mark describes each of the spiritual gifts mentioned in the New Testament and provides tools for the reader to identify which gifts they have. He also urges the contemporary church not to dial down on the spiritual gifts but to create a culture where all the gifts are eagerly welcomed and responsibly stewarded. This book is a vital rallying cry for a return to genuine, charismatic Christianity at a time when so many Christians and indeed churches have lost their passion for the presence of God and for the supernatural evidences of God's presence in worship and mission.

Mark Stibbe points the reader to a story Jesus told over 2,000 years ago which demonstrates the qualities of a perfect dad. More than that the story paints the clearest picture of what Jesus thought God is really like. It provides a wonderfully accessible introduction to the Father youve been waiting for and contains many new insights into a story loved by millions and known as the parable of parables.

Why we may be forgiven--but are not yet free

In January 2009, Dr. Mark Stibbe left his role as the senior leader of a highly successful Anglican congregation. Taking a big step of faith, he founded a ministry called The Father's House, dedicated to taking the Father's love to the fatherless and bringing an end to the global pandemic of fatherlessness.

Mark took this risk because he is convinced that our society has been deeply damaged by absent or brutal fathers. The churches can offer a solution--a healing relationship with our Heavenly Father--but many Christians have been poorly fathered and are bound by the legacy of this wound. As long as believers are restricted by the chains of their past, their churches will not be a part of the solution to fatherlessness; they will be a part of the problem. "The whole planet is waiting for Christian believers to rise up as the adopted sons and daughters of Abba, Father."

I Am Your Father is designed to help free Christians from their father wounds, so that they are then capable of playing their part in healing our fatherless world. In part 1, Mark takes a detailed look at fatherlessness. He describes the different ways in which fathers can hurt their children and the ensuing toxic results. In part 2, he goes deeper, defining the wound as "the orphan heart" and describing the main symptoms of this condition in peoples' lives. In part 3, he shows how Christians can find true healing through experiencing the spirit of adoption and by using seven keys to freedom. Mark uses his own story of being orphaned and adopted as the backdrop to this teaching.
