Beholding
Move from a transactional experience with God to a transformational friendship with Him through prayer. How can time with God be a source of peace in a loud and distracting world? In Beholding, spiritual director and poet Strahan Coleman invites readers to discover the joy of being with God, not just working for Him. As they inhabit the art of resting in God’s presence, prayer becomes not only a place of seeking, but becoming. Beholding calls Christians to understand how: Prayer is so much more than spoken conversation between us and God; it’s a way of existing together. Beholding God in prayer is profoundly connected to beholding and dignifying others. Embracing prayer practices from different Christian traditions digs a deep well of peace in the soul. Our everyday ordinary lives can become the meeting place for God through silence, solitude, community, creation, and hospitality.
Thirsting
What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives. We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls. In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to: Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communion You thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.
Taproots for Transformation
Set against a background of hugely irrational social dysfunction and restlessness, the essence of the book concerns the ideal of people growing into a sufficient wholeness, integration and contentment in their identity. This requires all of us to take due account of each component of our personality (body, intellect, soul-spirit, emotion, and creativity) and intentionally nurturing these. Then, at each life-stage, we may function better as healthy citizens in family and community settings, being effective as role models, mentors and leaders in varied levels and contexts. The book therefore challenges us to take our whole nature seriously as individuals, within the reality of our social, phys...
Let Your Faith Grow
This important rooted and readable book is about the living character of human faith. Crucially, personal 'faith' is not portrayed as some sort of 'once-off' acquisition of a ready-packaged creed or secular belief system. Rather, seeds of faith actually tend to grow, change, indeed 'evolve' through particular stages during the human life-course. These relatively unknown stages are the main platform for David Bick's text. Facing all of us with fundamentals of our human character, this book provides food for the soul in all seasons of life, from teens to old age.

Past Judgement
New Zealand historians -- many of whom have served as policy-makers and workers in social services, and most of whom are children of the welfare state they investigate -- discuss such aspects of social policy as welfare, the voluntary sector, and the government, the administration of old-age pensions to 1938, and government reporting on Maori aspirations and treaty meanings.
