Losing Faith
There will always be people who lose faith. But how do we reconnect with those who have walked away? With his new book Losing Faith: those who have walked away, Andy Frost, Director of Share Jesus International, looks at those who have walked away from the church or have struggled with their faith and offers compassionate and practical advice on how we can help them. Michael Frost, author of Re:Jesus and Exiles praised Andy's book saying: When so much preaching by the Church today is done to the converted, Andy Frost's book invites us to listen to those who have lost faith, to validate their questions and concerns and to acknowledge we have something to learn from these so-called backsliders...
Long Story Short
Your life tells a story. From beginning to end, your life creates a unique narrative, shaped by the wider stories you find yourself in. For many in the West, the stories that dominate our experience are those of happiness (‘just do what makes you happy’), safety (‘it’s not worth the risk’) and significance (‘I want to be remembered’). But what if these stories are too small to really matter? Exploring the importance such stories play in our lives, Andy Frost, Director of Share Jesus International, presents an alternative narrative – the God Story. Long Story Short invites readers to find their place in the only story big enough to live for. ‘This book is invaluable for disc...

Apostles Today
Are apostles amongst us today? According to a growing section of the church, the answer is yes. This book investigates and appraises that idea seeking answers to the following questions in the context of the church in the USA and particularly Britain: Is there a robust scriptural justification for the charismatic apostolate (CA) that most charismatic groups are proclaiming? How widespread is this belief and why has it become more commonplace? What kind of apostles are being advocated by influential popular teachers? What does church history and tradition have to offer to this idea? Is there a way to endorse and embrace ecumenically the CA? Does the CA have a future in the universal church? These are important questions to answer for the sake of the church's mission and health.

No Mean Feat
How a man who lost both legs below the knee overcame the odds to achieve incredible academic, sporting and industrial success, including a Paralympic medal in cycling. Mark Inglis was only 23 when he became a double amputee. No Mean Feat describes how he and fellow climber Phil Doole were trapped in an ice cave near the summit of New Zealand's Mt Cook for 13 days with minimal equipment and little food. By the time they were air-lifted out both men had severe frostbite and had to spend months in hospital recovering. Since then, Mark has set himself a number of formidable goals and achieved incredible success, including medals for skiing and cycling. No Mean Feat is an inspiring story of remarkable courage and determination, told with humour and a powerful zest for life.
Statelessness and Citizenship
What does it mean to be a citizen? In depth research with a stateless population in Bangladesh has revealed that, despite liberal theory’s reductive vision, the limits of political community are not set in stone. The Urdu-speaking population in Bangladesh exemplify some of the key problems facing uprooted populations and their experience provides insights into the long term unintended consequences of major historical events. Set in a site of camp and non-camp based displacement, it illustrates the nuances of political identity and lived spaces of statelessness that Western political theory has too long hidden from view. Using Bangladesh as a case study, Statelessness and Citizenship: Camps...
Is Birdsong Music?
“A ground-breaking study of the songs of the pied butcherbird . . . intellectually engaging and also very entertaining as a fieldwork memoir.” —The Music Trust How and when does music become possible? Is it a matter of biology, or culture, or an interaction between the two? Revolutionizing the way we think about the core values of music and human exceptionalism, Hollis Taylor takes us on an outback road trip to meet the Australian pied butcherbird. Recognized for their distinct timbre, calls, and songs, both sexes of this songbird sing in duos, trios, and even larger choirs, transforming their flute-like songs annually. While birdsong has long inspired artists, writers, musicians, and ...
Social Protection in Developing Countries
Providing universal access to social protection and health systems for all members of society, including the poor and vulnerable, is increasingly considered crucial to international development debates. This is the first book to explore from an interdisciplinary and global perspective the reforms of social protection systems introduced in recent years by many governments of low and middle-income countries. Although a growing body of literature has been concerned with the design and impact of social protection, less attention has been directed towards analyzing and explaining these reform processes themselves. Through case studies of African, Asian, and Latin American countries, this book exa...
