In "The Best Australian Political Writing 2008", Lateline's Tony
Jones selects the most illuminating, provocative and incisive
analysis of the past year in politics. Here some of our leading
commentators and writers dissect Kevin Rudd's march to the Lodge

drought-stricken Mallee town; weigh in on the culture wars; and
investigate the bungled cases of David Hicks and Mohamed Haneef.
This collection brings together the names, events and ideas that
shaped a remarkable year. Noel Pearson delivers his most forceful
argument to date on Indigenous policy; Pamela Williams chronicles
the unravelling of the Liberal Party; Guy Rundle argues what's
wrong with the Left; and Simon Mann charts the rise of a young
technocrat in 'The making of Kevin Rudd'.

A 'free zone' of rapid change that places high value on community,

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

Sexy bike racer Jacob Hunter is turning heads on the
international cycling circuit . . . in more ways then one. Rumor
has it the handsome daredevil owes his success to more than just
muscle and willpower. Allegations of drug use have followed Jacob

"What can we know about the practices of the early church? "
"The Didache is the most important book you've never read," begins
Tony Jones, in this engaging study. The Didache is an early
handbook of an anonymous Christian community, likely written before
some of the New Testament books were written. It spells out a way
of life for Jesus-followers that includes instruction on how to
treat one another, how to practice the Eucharist, and how to take
in wandering prophets. In "The Teaching of the Twelve," Jones
unpacks the ancient document, and he traces the life of a small
house church in Missouri that is trying to live according to its
precepts. Readers will find "The Teaching of the Twelve"
inspirational and challenging, and they will discover a unique
window into the life of the very earliest followers of Jesus the
Christ. A new, contemporary English translation of the Didache is
included.
"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.
