The book has four parts. Part 1 deals with God's solution to our problem. It assumes the existence of God, that Jesus Christ is God's unique Son, and that the Bible gives accurate information about God.

Part 2 is written for those who are uncertain about God's existence and whether Jesus is God's Son. It also sets out to show that the New Testament histories about Jesus are reliable and that the Bible does give us accurate information about God.

Part 3 deals with the serious responsibility of responding to God in his way rather than your own way.

Part 4 sets out in detail what we need to do to become Christians, and how we can be sure we are Christians.

Every now and then, humanity witnesses a history-changing event, like the invention of the wheel or the discovery of penicillin. But there has been no other event like the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. With characteristic candour and humour, John Chapman explains the meaning of this history-shaping event: » How can we know that Jesus really died? » How can we know that Jesus really rose from the dead? » How can God love people and yet condemn them to hell? » How can God forgive guilty sinners and yet be just? » What does Jesus' death and resurrection mean for me? How does it affect my life?

If you had to explain to a friend what the Bible says about suffering, what would you say? Paul Grimmond writes: "As I began to write this book, I thought I knew pretty much what I was going to say. But the more I read the Bible, trying to find the right passages to make the points I thought I needed to make, the more uneasy I felt." Come with Paul and discover the surprises he uncovers as he asks some of the most basic questions of the Christian life: Why do we suffer? And what does it mean to suffer—and even die—well? This book is part of our Guidebooks for Life series. Like other titles in the series, it covers an important issue of the Christian life in an accessible and straightforward way. About the author Paul Grimmond is a gifted and well-known Bible teacher, currently serving on the campus of the University of New South Wales. He is the author of Right Side Up, a book about the Christian life, and co-author with Phillip Jensen of The Archer and the Arrow, a book about preaching. Paul lives with his wife, Cathy, and their three children in Sydney’s east.

Although Claire Smith was a young adult when she came to know Jesus, it wasn't until she went to theological college that she noticed parts of the Bible that challenged her feminist views. Studying these passages led to radical changes in her life. Too often we put these same passages in the 'too hard basket', or we make up our minds without taking a close look at them for ourselves. But we must let God's word determine these issues, and not the culture in which we live. Claire takes us through the same process she went through herself, looking closely at seven key Bible passages about men and women and how they should relate together in God's purposes. Along the way she deals with many common objections, and applies the teaching of the Bible simply and practically to our relationships at home and in church. The warmth and simplicity of the book means it will benefit every Christian—whether you have looked at these passages a thousand times, or you've never thought about them in your life. About the author... After working for some years as a nurse, Claire Smith spent many years at Moore College closely studying the Bible, completing a BTh, MA (Theology), and a PhD in New Testament. These days she spends her time writing and speaking at conferences. To relax, she writes letters to the paper and talks theology with the two men in her life--her husband, Rob, and their son, Nathanael (both avid musicians). She will also happily watch any sport on TV (although her favourite is rugby).

When Ray Galea submitted his life to Christ, he had a problem on his hands: Which church should he go to?

"I did not want to assume that just because I was born a Catholic, this was by definition the right choice. I knew I could just as easily have been born a Baptist or a Mormon. So I spent the next six months reading and talking to priests and ministers to find out the differences between Catholics and Protestants. How did each of their teachings compare with the teaching of Jesus and the apostles?"

This book is a kind of re-tracing of Ray's investigation, looking at the key issues which continue to divide Protestants and Catholics, and assessing them in light of the teaching of Scripture.

A challenging and invaluable book for Protestants and Catholics alike.

Chapter headings:

» Growing up Catholic
» Which Catholicism?
» Christ and the Mass
» The Bible and the Church
» The way of salvation
» It's just grace
» Mary
» It is finished
» Appendix: The new Catholicism

Fri, 25 May 2012 02:38:15 +0000

Do you ever stop and think about where your life is going? Most people do this from time to time. We pause and take our bearings. Who am I? Is my life where I thought it would be now? Is there some sort of overriding purpose? Why did God put me here? In The Course of Your Life, you have the opportunity to discover in God's word that our lives do in fact have a profound and revolutionary purpose. God did make us for a reason, and it is all connected with the extraordinary work that he is doing in our lives and in his world. Do you want to discover that purpose, and live the rest of your life pursuing it? That’s what this course is about. The Workbook is required for each person doing the Course, except the leader, who will need the Leader's Guide and we also recommend the DVD. More information about the Course materials.
