The Christian Charities Handbook
The Christian Charities Handbook is an invaluable guide to the legal and practical responsibilities associated with the governance and management of charities. Paul Martin, a senior and experienced charity solicitor, offers an overview of the principal issues and appropriate advice for responding to them. Wherever possible the material is related specifically to the Christian sector, to maximise its usefulness and relevance. The text also contains links to appropriate websites that will keep readers informed of present and future developments in charity law
A Sunlit Absence
In his sequel to the best-selling Into the Silent Land, Martin Laird guides the reader more deeply into the sanctuary of Christian meditation. He focuses here on negotiating key moments of difficulty on the contemplative path, showing how the struggles we resist become vehicles of the healing silence we seek. With clarity and grace Laird shows how we can move away from identifying with our turbulent, ever-changing thoughts and emotions to the cultivation of a "sunlit absence"--the luminous awareness in which God's presence can most profoundly be felt.
Christian Martyrs for a Muslim People
In the mid-1990s, a fundamentalist Islamist organization gave an ultimatum to all "foreigners" in Algeria: depart or die. This book tells the story of nineteen priests and religious sisters, including seven Trappist monks, who courageously chose to stay in Algeria and who ultimately paid for their dedication with their lives. Drawing on letters, journals, and his own interviews with people who knew the nineteen religious, Fr. Martin McGee shows how these men and women gave witness to Christ through their actions, winning the love of the Algerian people-a love that did not cease with their deaths-without ever attempting to make converts. This is not only a very timely story of hope for those seeking reconciliation between Christians and Muslims, but also a testimony of courage and selflessness that will inspire all people who wish to transcend denominational differences and come together in a spirit of loving respect and understanding.

On Christian Liberty
"This timeless little classic communicates essential teachings of Martin Luther. Luther's great insight into the freedom of the Christian proved revolutionary in his century and remains timely and poignantly relevant in our own. For the Christian, this freedom means liberty from sin and death, as well as the opportunity to serve one's neighbor. Written in a simple style, On Christian Liberty conveys profound spiritual discernment about the grace of God and liberating faith in Christ Jesus. This translation, down-to-earth and accessible, brings one of the great Reformer's most important works to a new generation of readers." --from the publisher.
Living the Christian Life
The biblical basis of true Christian experience.
The Name's Familiar II
The fictional characters Dracula, Madeline, and Lois Lane were all inspired by real people. There really is a Nathan behind Nathan's hotdogs, a Cliff behind CliffsNotes, and an Anne behind Auntie Anne's, but J. Crew is just a figment of a marketing director's imagination. Monica, Sandra, Rita, and the other girls of "Mambo No. 5" fame are Lou Bega's real-life ex-girlfriends. For those of you who have wondered about these names and those who never thought to, Laura Lee details the stories behind them, and many others, in her new book, The Name's Familiar II. This sequel to her book, The Name's Familiar, contains over 350 entries that tell the origins and originators of words, characters, brand names, and even towns. Elmira, New York, for instance, was named after a rambunctious little girl whose mother was constantly calling her. Neighbors heard her name so much they decided to call the town Elmira. The names explained in this book range from those of contemporary pop culture to ancient legend. Whether it's Smokey the Bear or Julius Caesar, you'll be given new insight that will change the way you look at names forever.
What Every Christian Needs to Know
Every Christian ought to be a soul-winner. Regardless of your occupation, your primary business is to win souls. Failing to do so means not only failure in this life but also regret and remorse in the life to come. The world has always been willing to listen to a man with a real message from heaven. As Christians, we possess the greatest news ever told. Upon becoming a Christian, one should realize that, armed with the Gospel, he has more to offer the world than the whole world has to offer in return. To be effective in personal evangelism, study human tendencies and the best ways to approach your fellow man. Study the Bible and learn how to apply its principles. Above all, uplift Christ, confident in the absolute assurance that the Holy Spirit will bless your efforts each time you speak for Christ. "My word will not return to Me void." This book is designed to help those who wish to share the gospel with others but have limited experience and would welcome guidance and practical tips from a fellow laborer.
