It doesn't matter whether you are 3 or 7 or even 150 years old!We are the children of God when we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour!"And I will be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me," says the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 4:18

Jesus is called the "firstborn" from the curse of death as he triumphantly shows us light in darkness and calls us to join him in His Kingdom as a joint heir. To do this, we must trust and follow Him through many dangers and toils as if in a foreign land, progressing as a pilgrim on the missions each of us are given. This is even if, like that of the Firstborn, they might at first appear to be impossible.Starting with this famous theme from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, teacher Jim Ward (pictured left) uses a combination of his own poetry, photography and focused questions, together with 'backpack' resource information, to explore what it means to be a modern Christian pilgrim in today's troubled world. Following the Firstborn provides strong stimulus and guidance for personal reflection on what matters most on our journey through life, but it is also a powerful springboard for group study and discussion of how we remain a faithful pilgrim in what C S Lewis has called 'enemy occupied territory'.

Christians Contemplating Abortion is the follow on book from her first book, Reconciled From Abortion's Chains, in which Sharon openly shares the story of her own abortion.

When writer Doug Buckley's town, Sydney, staged Alex Buzo's play Macquarie, the Reverend Samuel Marsden was kitted out throughout with a long black stock-whip in his belt. Indeed, enunciate Samuel Marsden to a Sydneysider and the comeback, even by Christians, will be The Flogging Parson. This offensive label was attached generations after Marsden's death by lesser men who never knew him. Yet does it convey serious truth? Who indeed was the diminutive, larger-than-life senior chaplain to the brutal British convict colony of New South Wales? Why has he been named Apostle to New Zealand? Novelist Doug Buckley retells the story of this versatile and innovative pastor but with a difference, he seeks to write as Sam himself might have written."Some want to live within the soundof church or chapel bell.I want to run a rescue shopwithin a yard of hell."C T Studd
