'A racy, classy political thriller ...' - Jennifer Byrne In 2005,
Marin Katich, living in Croatia under an alias, is being watched.
Before the year is out, he has been assaulted, arrested, charged
with serious war crimes and locked up in Scheveningen Prison in The
Hague, waiting for his case to come before the International War
Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. In Sydney, Anna Rosen, a
freelance journalist, is emailed photos of a man she knows to be
dead - gunned down in a brutal ambush in Bosnia over a decade ago.
A man she'd once loved but who had betrayed her. Is it possible
that the photos really are of Marin Katich? And if so, what the
hell had happened in 1992? From Croatia to The Hague to Bosnia and
Herzegovina to Sydney, Anna and Marin's intertwined history fuels
her determination to tear apart, piece by piece, his secrets, while
continuing to keep her own. In a dangerous pursuit of justice and
revenge, navigating the murky world of national and international
secret agencies and those who would still be warlords, Anna fights
for what she believes in and for those she loves. Tony Jones, one
of Australia's most admired journalists, blurs the lines between
fiction and political reality, creating a page-turning, intriguing
and gripping thriller. 'A political thriller in the Robert Harris
mould.' - Jennifer Byrne on The Twentieth Man 'Extremely readable,
fascinating and very cleverly done.' - AustralianCrimeFiction.org

The rules have changed. Everything you believe is suspect. The
world is up for grabs. Welcome to the emerging postmodern culture.
A 'free zone' of rapid change that places high value on community,
authenticity, and even God--but has little interest in modern,
Western-tinged Christianity. Postmodern Youth Ministry addresses
these enormous philosophical shifts and shows how they re affecting
teenagers."
He was the only one left alive; now it was his turn to die. In
September 1972, journalist Anna Rosen takes an early morning phone
call from her boss at the ABC, telling her about two bombings in
Sydney's busy CBD. It's the worst terrorist attack in the country's
history and Anna has no doubt which group is responsible for the
carnage. She has been investigating the role of alleged war
criminals in the globally active Ustasha movement. High in the
Austrian Alps, Marin Katich is one of twenty would-be
revolutionaries who slip stealthily over the border into Yugoslavia
on a mission planned and funded in Australia. It will have
devastating consequences for all involved. Soon the arrival in
Australia of Yugoslavia's prime minister will trigger the next move
in a deadly international struggle. Tony Jones, one of Australia's
most admired journalists, has written a brilliantly compelling
thriller, taking us from the savage mountains of Yugoslavia to
Canberra's brutal yet covert power struggles in a novel that's
intelligent, informed and utterly suspenseful.
The romantic dream of downsizing, giving up the rat race, and living
life at 4mph on the inland waterways is proving more and more
attractive. But for tens of thousands of people it is not just a
romantic dream but an actual lifestyle.
Tony Jones is one of those people. He has lived aboard his 50ft
narrowboat for over 14 years and in this very practical book he
documents what the liveaboard lifestyle is really like, focusing on the
practical issues of day to day living for those who want to know what
living on a boat actually entails, to see how to manage it for
themselves.
Topics covered include:
ˇ the pros, cons and costs of a residential mooring
ˇ power usage and energy consumption (and how it differs from a house)
ˇ how to stay warm - the choice of coal, electric, gas or wood heating
ˇ boat loos - the pros and cons, and troubleshooting typical problems
ˇ entertainment - TV, radio, internet, DVDs
ˇ logistical problems - no postal address, GP access, vehicle access or
use
This second edition has been comprehensively revised to include updated
or new information on costs (moorings, license, insurances etc),
license fees for different types of craft, composting toilets and
ecological living in general, living aboard in London and other cities
(suddenly very popular), postal services, boat stretching, butty boats,
and so on, as well as more anecdotes and profile stories about
liveaboard life.
The aim of this book is to feed people's dreams by showing that every
possible problem that could arise when living on a boat has a tried and
tested solution. The dream is perfectly possible, and this book is the
complete practical guide to achieving it.
"This edition of a timeless classic--enhanced by Emergent leader
Tony Jones--will appeal to college students, readers new to
Christian classics, and anyone else who desires to learn how to
make spirituality a moment-by-moment way of life."
Brother Lawrence's "Practice of the Presence of God" has stood
the test of time because it chronicles the life of a very ordinary
person who became an extraordinary Christian. Through a life of
humility and service, Brother Lawrence achieved something that many
Christians aspire to: he was so concentrated on God that God became
a part of his every breath. Whether deep in prayer or peeling
potatos in the kitchen, he knew God's presence.
This readable translation, replete with enlightening background
notes, will appeal to today's reader in ways that no other edition
has been able to do.

6 short stories that will inspire you and lead you to Christ our
Lord.
This is the true story of a boy's yearning for adventure in a
world far away from the dreary, neat and tidy life of a small Welsh
village in the years following WWII. Providence, through unexpected
opportunities and happenchance, opens up his world and carries him
through to catching the dragon.
This evocation of Welsh life in the Forties and Fifties reveals
a cultured father's influence, a mother's love, a sister's death
and a grandmother's oppressive presence. It is a story rich with
major disasters and minor serendipity; the Depression of the
Thirties, the Second World War, a local colliery disaster, a ship
wreck, a sister's death, a bus ride through the Vosges mountains, a
special junior school teacher, a trip to London with his father and
a puzzle in a Sunday newspaper.
