FORGIVE FORGET FRUITFUL: Turning Offences and Tragedies into Divine Opportunities The reality of life is that we all go through difficult times that we didn't ask for or even imagine would ever happen to us. We can choose to be either a victim or an over-comer.

THE HIDDEN HALF: Women and Islam by Dr Stuart Robinson. Almost half of the global population of 7.2 billion people in 2013-14 was estimated to be female. This book is about women. More specifically, it is about women and Islam. It does not seek to sensationalize the subject matter, although some information may seem that way to any reader exposed to it for the first time. Nor should it be seen as an attempt to moralize about any practices within Islam or how followers of that religion may regard or treat non-Muslim women. It simply records widespread practice and the authoritative religious texts that validate many of these practices. It also seeks to motivate the reader to engage with Muslims in society so that God's love can heal and transform their world through practical actions of Christian grace. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: "Stuart Robinson must be congratulated for giving voice to The Hidden Half," VICKIE JANSON, Political Advocate and Author-Australia.

DR MARK DURIE, Political Advocate and Author-Australia. "The Hidden Half-Women and Islam, addresses gender apartheid in the Muslim world globally," DR PHYLLIS CHESLER, Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies, City University NY -USA. "This book's objective and scientific tone will help to alleviate a major human and social issue. Robinson investigates in-depth this most important problem, the status of Muslim women, now imported in our societies," BAT YE'OR, Author of The Decline of Eastern Christianity; Islam and Dhimmitude; and Eurabia-Switzerland.

True leadership comes from the inside out, not the top down. The way we lead and influence people, in a ministry context, is not only by our words, decisions, directives or position, but also by the authenticity and example of our lives. It's about who we are within. It's about leading ourselves so we can effectively lead others. It's exercising leadership in and over our own lives. This is called 'self-leadership'. This book is about 'self-leadership'-the intentional practice of disciplining, regulating and developing our lives and leadership so that we can effectively lead ourselves and others to fulfill God's ultimate purposes of maturity and mission.

ISLAM RISING: The Middle East and Us by Dr. Stuart Robinson sheds light on a complex issue.

ISLAM RISING summarizes elements of how enduring turmoil in the Middle East has arisen and some implications for the rest of the world.

God knows our human nature and its propensity to fear. Fear permeates all aspects and strata of society, is found in all personality types and attaches itself to all the pursuits of human beings. Learning how to cope with inevitable and wide-ranging fear is one of the most important and liberating lessons we can learn. One of the keys to effective Christian living is to make right choices. FEARPROOF will help you discover: + How to unmask, identify and define fear so we can deal with it + How to limit the damage that fear seeks to do to us + How to reject fear as a permanent resident in our life + How to no longer live with debilitating and crippling fear + How to confront and face fear with tenacity and determination.

PRAYING WITH POWER: How to Engage in a Deeper Level of Personal Prayer by Praying the Scripturesby BRUCE HILLS: 'Praying the Scriptures' is often one of the least understood and most overlooked expressions of prayer.
