Ideological Jihad

Janson Vickie

$16.00
In stock

"A most serious contribution to interfaith understanding." Ideological Jihad is a mixture of personal testimony and comparative theology in the very current and public debate about the so called clash of civilisations. It primarily addresses the spiritual divide between the Christian tradition of the West, which encompasses separation of church and state, and the Islamic tradition which emodies unity of 'church' and state. The spiritual divide is seen as inseperable from the political divide. Highlighting the rising Islamisation in Australia, it's message is relevant to all of Western civilisation. Ideological Jihad responds to issues including secularism, women and Jihad, and asks if Waleed Aly's book "People Like Us; How arrogance is dividing Islam and the West" is not itself just an exercise in Ideological Jihad. "A persistent and thoughtful dialogue, attending carefully to what Muslims have to say, and asking searching questions. The author has not only carefully examined the v..

Managing Your Time, Energy and Talent In Ministry

Flanagan John P.

$24.99
In stock

Erma Bombeck once wrote, "When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that not one single bit of talent is left, and I could say, 'I have used everything You gave me.'" To use as effectively as possible the time, talents and energy we have been given by God is what this book is all about. Time is short, our obligations are many, the needs of those we serve are often serious and urgent. How we juggle these disparate elements of our lives in such a way that we don't burn out in the process but are rather enriched ourselves in the ministry we perform is very important. The author calls upon his many years of involvement in management and ministry to provide the helpful advice found in these pages. May all those involved in ministry of any kind find herein the enlightenment and encouragement they seek...

Old Errors and New Labels

Sheen Fulton J

$38.99
Available on request

This book, the author wrote in 1931, is an attempt to judge contemporary ideas in the field of morals, religion, science, evolution, sociology, psychology and humanism in the light of the philosophical daylight called 'common sense.' If at times it criticizes certain views on the grounds of their unreasonableness, it does so to prepare for a view which seems more reasonable. If at other times it shows that what is wrong with a certain philosophical outlook is an emphasis on a part against the whole, it does so in order to suggest a view that is more catholic in the sense of being the whole truth. There is little sympathy in these pages for those who believe that everything modern is good, or that everything modern is bad. The remarkable -- if unsettling -- discovery is that seventy-five years later, Bishop Sheen's challenge to tired old errors still finds some of them huffing and puffing under entirely new garb...

Midgley, J B

This fascinating account of one of England's best know saints reaches beyond the rise to power of a privileged and intelligent man, to reveal a story of holiness, suffering and courage. Set in turbulent and changing times, the forces of religious freedom and unchecked political power inevitably and fatally clash - in the persons of the King and Archbishop. 'Our crime' said Becket,'is the assertion of ecclesiastical liberty; for to profess it is to be guilty of high treason.'..
