Chasing Mayflies
A Dying Wish... What would you do if your best friend's last wish was to help him escape from a hospice so he could "take care of a few things?" The initial dilemma for Dennis Sullivan is not the anger he will incur from Jack Nagle's family, or how to manage a terminally-ill curmudgeon who mistakenly believes he knows everyone. He can even humor Jack's desire to become like a mayfly-one of those nasty spring bugs with a lifespan of only a few days, but are unforgettable monsters. The quandary for Dennis is why help someone that was painfully absent when he needed a friend. Guilted into this late odyssey, Dennis soon finds the road to hell is truly paved with good intentions and it takes courage, faith, and a generous dose of anarchy to change the destination. He also discovers his best friend's "bucket list on steroids" is not a tale of self-absorption at all, but rather a well-considered plan to seek redemption and touch his estranged family. And Jack plans the biggest makeover of all for Dennis. Chasing Mayflies is a "R.I.P" roaring, hilarious journey that matches an intriguing plot with a thought-provoking message that will resonate with your soul long after the story ends.
The Church in the Midst of Creation
Vincent Donovan is known to tens of thousands of readers as the author of Christianity Rediscovered. In this long-awaited sequel, he moves from Africa, where he sought to present Christ without the usual paraphernalia of missionary work, to the Western world, and sets out to answer the question: We see quite plainly the church as it is, but what should it be like?' Arguing that our times ore comparable only with those of the earliest church, when Paul sought to open up the gospel to non-Jews without demanding obedience to the Jewish law, Fr Donovan pictures a church which has grown out of the uniformity, specialization and centralization which have dominated it since the Council of Trent and the Industrial Revolution. He looks for a more-than-Mediterranean Christ, new life for the sacraments and new forms for the church. It is time, he claims, for the church to be evangelized by the world. Those who have been moved by Christianity Rediscovered will find here a book which, if anything, speaks even more to their condition.

Missionary Methods
Newly updated, revised edition. A complete missionary manual for evangelical missionaries. Missionary Methods is an enduring classic, a how-to that every single missionary should read, as well as any lay person who desires to be a useful part of the body of Christ. The author, Roland Allen, takes a thorough look at the practice and principle of arguably the most successful church planter in history, the biblical apostle Paul. Every missionary difficulty and success can be found in Acts and the apostle Paul's letters, which cover such topics as training, discipleship, finances, and sustainability. The "methods" are built on the foundation of a relationship with God, salvation through Christ, and the indwelling and leading of the Holy Spirit.
