Book excerpt: Sir Robert Menzies was driven by a passionate belief in individual freedom, personal responsibility and human dignity. In God & Menzies, David Furse-Roberts reveals the Judeo-Christian origins of Menzies' empowering Liberal philosophy that became embedded in Australia's cultural DNA. God & Menzies is essential reading for everybody who seeks a deeper understanding of Australian liberalism and the place of religion in a secular society. 'David Furse-Roberts has established himself as one of Australia's leading Menzies experts with this spiritual-intellectual biography of Australia's longest-serving Prime Minister. The depth of the research and scope of the themes makes this book the benchmark for future religious biographies of Australian statespeople...' - Dr Stephen Chavura, Lecturer at Campion College. 'God & Menzies is a scholarly study of how Robert Menzies' deeply considered Christian faith informed his commitment to the principles of secular liberalism and served as the lodestar that guided his consequential career. Furse-Roberts has written a timely reminder that Christianity has long been an integral component of Australia's vibrant secular democracy.' - Rev Peter Kurti, Centre for Independent Studies. 'In an era when religion in an overt sense is essentially marginal to political life, this important study is deeply revealing of its significance in the Australian nation throughout the middle decades of the twentieth century. Moreover, it makes a major contribution in demonstrating Sir Robert Menzies' leadership in ridding Australia of the curse of sectarianism.' - Adjunct Professor J. R. Nethercote, Australian Catholic University.

Book excerpt: 'Mark Vickers has given us a wonderful new reference book of the beliefs (and non-beliefs) of 20th-century PMs - a meaty volume that can also be consumed as a social history of British religion.' THE TELEGRAPH 'This carefully researched and well-written study reveals the religious faith of our Prime Ministers, or lack of it, in vivid colours. Prepare to be shocked and surprised as the author lays bare their souls.' SIR ANTHONY SELDON Mark Vickers' acclaimed volume on the faith of the twentieth-century Prime Ministers casts a new perspective on these holders of the highest political office in the realm. While there are biographies aplenty on the 18 men and 1 woman who took up residence behind the famous black door, it is notable that that many of these works fail to reflect an important - sometimes the most important - aspect of the life of their subject. God in Number 10 rectifies this omission, offering intriguing insights into Margaret Thatcher's legendary 'Sermon on the Mound', Tony Blair's perception of Jesus as a modernizer, Arthur Balfour's recourse to spiritualism, Stanley Baldwin's mystical experiences, and Winston Churchill's involvement with astrology. The book considers the role of religion generally in the political classes of the period, the reasons for the declining influence of faith in the public forum, and the relationship between Church and State. The families of H. H. Asquith, Bonar Law, Ramsay MacDonald, Neville Chamberlain, Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas-Home and Harold Wilson have all expressed their support for God in Number 10 and, where able, helped in the research, while John Major has assisted fully.

Book excerpt: A life that reads like a feature film. A Glorious Ride: From Jumble Plains to Eternity is an inspiring story of rolled up sleeves, practical faith and a resolute determination to give life a go. Tony McLellan grew up on a sheep station mending fences and killing rabbits. It turned out to be the perfect apprenticeship for a business high-flyer who crossed the Atlantic on the Concorde as casually as most people catch a bus. A crisis in his business and family life at the age of 47 taught him the deeper meaning of achievement: The path to a truly successful life begins when you focus on serving others. A Glorious Ride is an antidote for the dismal secularism of our times and a rallying cry against despair.

In McLennan's bold call to reclaim ownership of Christianity, he advocates a sense of religion based not on doctrinal readings of scripture but on the humanity behind Christ's teachings. He addresses such topics as intelligent design, abortion, same sex marriage, war. torture and much, much more. As he says in the Preface, "We liberal Christians know in our hearts that there is much more to life than seems to meet the rational eye of atheists; yet we find it hard to support supernatural claims about religion that fly in the face of scientific evidence."

Book excerpt: This is a book for these times. In an increasingly polarized world, many people face daily challenges and difficulties. When visited by the vicissitudes of life; they find it difficult to get up, push on and persevere. Their lives have become a seesaw characterized by suffering and sorrow, trials and tribulations, pain and purgatory on earth. Many are lost, most are driven to despair, desperation and desolation. Life loses its meaning; joy is squeezed out of all existence. Every day is another dance with torment and torture. Today is another date with the persecution chamber, and tomorrow a desolate and barren desert. Unaware that the wilderness is the birthing place of greatness, and devoid of any new ideas to escape the pain and suffering of today, the future looks bleak, and many have given up on life itself - and surrender too early to what they consider a hopeless and meaningless existence; perhaps out of embarrassment, fear and even shame. They lose sight of the hope and promise of tomorrow; and fail to understand that the darkest hour is before dawn; and that the sun will shine again in their lives!!This book is for them. Joseph's life story gives us hope - sold into slavery by the brothers he loved, accused of crimes he did not commit, sentenced to a jail and in the dungeons of Pharaoh in a foreign land, he remained diligent, principled, hopeful, joyous and kept his faith in the Living God. The story of Joseph is all at once a story of pain, suffering, rejection and denial. But it is also a story of hope, of promise for a better tomorrow, of survival and of perseverance and courage in the face of great struggle. More than anything else, it is a story of hope and unshakable faith in the promises of God; in the sanctity of his covenant; and in the glory that awaits his anointed. It is a story of triumph and redemption; of forgiveness and healing. It is a beautiful story that restores our hope in tomorrow, and tells us that the pit of today will make way for the palace of tomorrow; that the slave of today will become the Sire of tomorrow, and that the prisoner of today will become the prime minister of tomorrow. Success is inevitable!! This is a book for both the believer and the non-believer. It is a book that affirms that fidelity to the truth, a commitment to one's values and obedience to a God given vision will carry us through to triumph. May it bless you and may it light your path; hold the promise of peace, joy and prosperity for you tomorrow!

Book excerpt: Mary, our heavenly mother always leads us to her son, Jesus. In 1917 she visited three children in the small town of Fatima, Portugal, to share with them the message of salvation for the world. 'Fatima - The Play' is aimed at engaging young people to experience excitement in learning about their faith through the stories of ordinary children at an extraordinary time. Not all can make a pilgrimage to Fatima or Lourdes, but many Schools and Parish Groups will be able to simulate the wonders of the Apparitions of Fatima for their Communities with some help from the new "Technagers"!! "The play provides an accessible vehicle to share and understand this hundred-year-old story using a modern scene transposed over the traditional story. The structure and language of the play engages the students and provides a powerful introduction for further discussion and investigation." -- Judy Spence, Principal, Holy Trinity School, Curtin, ACT "Bev Cains' Fatima play is an impressive re-enactment of an interior story. It dramatises the religious faith of three children, which is tested by the scepticism of others until it is finally shown to illuminate the darkness of their time - and now of our time as well, in this centenary year of the apparitions of Our Lady. The play will engage the interest of upper primary school children in particular. Not only are the main characters appealing in their spiritual openness to the message of Fatima, but the structure of the play provides many scenes for audience participation. It deserves to be performed widely." -- Karl Schmude, Campion College "Children tend to be open and interested in the supernatural and the Fatima Play helps children to explore this realm. Mary our good mother is always leading us to her son Jesus, which is the reason of her visit to the three little shepherds at Fatima last century. Her message remains the same today - follow Jesus and pray. The play delivers Mary's message in a way children can enjoy as they participate. They will sense they are part of something important which is much bigger than themselves. Many people aren't aware of Our Lady's visits to her children - the Fatima Play shares the story in a way we can all appreciate and learn." -- Anne Hartwell, Mothers Prayers Australia Coordinator 'Fatima - The Play' written by Beverley Cains is an excellent example of how to employ the art of theatre in the propagation of the message from Fatima. -- Fr. Damian Mosakowski, osppe, Rector of the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy - Penrose Park

Book excerpt: Catholic social teaching had a venerable influence on Australian political history, but does it still have anything to offer? Greg Craven argues that it remains an important resource for addressing the central challenges of Australian politics. In doing so, he considers the case put forward by Tim Wilson in The New Social Contract for liberalism, Adrian Pabst's analysis of Labor's unique approach to social democracy in Story of Our Country, and Damien Freeman's account of conservatism in Abbott's Right. His critique of liberalism, social democracy, and conservatism from the perspective of Catholic social teaching offers a vision for how Australian political debate might be done better. Five essayists, including Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott, offer their own thoughts on the future of politics and policy, and the utility of Catholic social teaching as a resource for policy-making in their responses to Craven's analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, eminent theologian Stanley Hauerwas shows how the sermon is the best context for doing good theology. He writes, "I am convinced that the recovery of the sermon as the context for theological reflection is crucial if Christians are to negotiate the world in which we find ourselves." The book includes seventeen sermons preached by Hauerwas, which he considers his best theological work and hopes exemplify the work of theology. The sermons are divided into four sections: seeing, saying, living, and events. Titles range from Believing Is Seeing and Was It Fitting for Jesus to Die on a Cross? to Only Fear Can Drive Out Fear and To Be Made Human. Each sermon includes where and when it was preached and references relevant Scripture passages. EXCERPT I have increasingly come to the recognition that one of the most satisfying contexts for doing the work of theology is in sermons. That should not be surprising because throughout Christian history, at least until recently, the sermon was one of the primary places in which the work of theology was done. For the work of theology is first and foremost to exposit scripture. That modern theology has become less and less scriptural, that modern theology has often tried to appear as a form of philosophy, is but an indication of its alienation from its proper work. I am, therefore, making these sermons available because I think they are not only my best theological work, but because I hope they exemplify the work of theology.

Book excerpt: What happens when the prime minister views politics only as a game? Australia wanted Scott Morrison. In a time of uncertainty, the country chose in 2019 to turn to a man with no obvious beliefs, no clear purpose and no famous talents. That we wanted Scott Morrison was the secret we did not know about ourselves. What precisely that secret is forms the subject of this book. In The Game, Sean Kelly gives us a portrait of a man, the shallow political culture that allowed him to succeed and the country that crowned him. Morrison understands – in a way that no other recent politician has – how politics has become a game. He also understands something essential about Australia – something many of us are unwilling to admit, even to ourselves. But there are things Scott Morrison does not understand. This is the story of those failures, too – and the way that, as his prime ministership continues, Morrison’s failure to think about politics as anything other than a game has become a dangerous liability, both to him and to us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

Book excerpt: Baptized in the Spirit creatively examines the most recent trends in Pentecostal and charismatic theology, especially with regard to the displacement of Spirit baptism as Pentecostalism’s central distinctive. The author begins by focusing on the significance of the Holy Spirit in reciprocal and mutual work with the Son in fulfilling the will of the Father. He also shows how the pneumatological emphases in Pentecostal and charismatic theology can help to correct the tendency in Western Christianity to subordinate the Spirit to the Word.

Book excerpt: Sir Robert Askin, Liberal Premier of New South Wales from 1965 to 1975, was the longest serving and most successful Liberal Premier winning four elections in a row and who retired at a time of his own choosing. He came from a modest but happy family background, won a state bursary to secondary college, enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force and served in New Guinea. He was a natural for politics - he liked people, fellowship, was a good judge of character, and given his background, understood the real needs of the general public. Unfortunately, Askin's reputation has been overshadowed by long standing allegations of corruption. This monograph by Dr Paul Loughnan based on his extensive research for his doctorate on Askin, sets the record straight. Paul's youth was bookended by Askin's 1965-75 premiership which ignited his interest in Sir Robert and his government. This monograph informs us about Askin's character and achievements, but more importantly, demolishes once and for all the myths concerning his alleged corruption. They are just not true. So, this monograph allows us to see Askin for the first time for what he really was - a great leader, an astute pragmatic politician who steered his party to successes which have not been matched since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A much neglected field of study has been opened by the research of the author into the history of the Christian church from its apostolic origins to the close of the eighteenth century. Taking as his thesis the prominence given to the Church in the Wilderness in Bible prophecy, and the fact that “‘the Church in the Wilderness,’ and not the proud hierarchy enthroned in the world’s great capital, was the true church of Christ,” he has spent years developing this subject. In its present form, Truth Triumphant represents much arduous research in the libraries of Europe as well as in America. Excellent ancient sources are most difficult to obtain, but the author has been successful in gaining access to many of them. To crystallize the subject matter and make the historical facts live in modem times, the author also made extensive travels throughout Europe and Asia. The doctrines of the primitive Christian church spread to Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. As grains of a mustard seed they lodged in the hearts of many Godly souls in southern France and northern Italy — people known as the Albigenses and the Waldenses. The faith of Jesus was valiantly upheld by the Church of the East. This term, as used by the author, not only includes the Syrian and Assyrian Churches, but is also the term applied to the development of apostolic Christianity throughout the lands of the East. The spirit of Christ, burning in the hearts of loyal men who would not compromise with paganism, sent them forth as missionaries to lands afar. Patrick, Columbanus, Marcos, and a host of others were missionaries to distant lands. They braved the ignorance of the barbarian, the intolerance of the apostate church leaders, and the persecution of the state in order that they might win souls to God. To unfold the dangers that were ever present in the conflict of the true church against error, to reveal the sinister working of evil and the divine strength by which men of God made truth triumphant, to challenge the Remnant Church today in its final controversy against the powers of evil, and to show the holy, unchanging message of the Bible as it has been preserved for t hose who will “fear God, and keep His commandments” — these are the sincere aims of the author as he presents this book to those who know the truth.

Book excerpt: The Bible is filled with stories of God using ordinary people in extraordinary ways to change the world. Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, and others were just regular, imperfect people who chose to obey God's call--and what a difference that made! God is still in the business of transforming his followers into world changers, and that includes you. He may be calling you to something big, like moving to Africa to start a ministry. Or he may be asking you to start small, like simply leaving your comfort zone and stretching your faith to try something you haven't before. In either case, it's his power working through you that will impact you and everyone around you. Join Greg Laurie as he shows you how God has called and equipped you. Get ready to change the world.
