Imagine what a light in the darkness we would be if we committed to love one another and to love our neighbours as only those unbound from the fear of relational loss can do. *No Greater Love* gives us an excellent place to start the work of reclaiming the essential art of Christian friendship.

We feel it in the world around us and in our own lives. How did it get to be this way?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDuring his tenure as founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller explained on a weekly basis how the Bible provides the most comprehensive and sophisticated response to the fundamental questions of life. In What Is Wrong with the World?, based on a series of teachings given at Redeemer, Keller answers the title's pressing question by revealing that the only thing that can account for the world's pain and chaos is what the Bible calls sin. This clear-eyed and ultimately hopeful book reveals how sin is not simply a 'bad' thing we do, but something much more subtle and complex, affecting our relationships, our thinking, and every aspect of our existence. And only when we recognize sin for what it is can we find the profound, life-transforming answer our souls long for.

So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: 'Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.' It wasn't the response he expected, but it continues to be the answer he needs.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eToo often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you'll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favour of a slower, simpler way of life.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51569381605663,"sku":"9781529308389","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781529308389_1592252.jpg?v=1769322549"},{"product_id":"surprise-the-world-the-five-habits-of-highly-missional-people-436381","title":"Surprise the World: The Five Habits of Highly Missional People","description":"Discipleship expert Michael Frost presents five routines that make evangelism a lifestyle that is fulfilling, effective, and easy to live out!

Greg Sheridan encourages us to listen to the voices of the early Christians, and emulate their commitment, integrity, resilience and smarts.

Or is Christian history the deepest explanation of the modern world? Today in the west, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted and responsible for many of society's problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of religion. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them? In this fascinating book, Glen Scrivener takes readers on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think of life, worth, and meaning. Far from being a relic from the past, the distinctive ideas of Christianity, such as freedom, kindness, progress and equality, are a crucial part of the air that we breathe. As author Glen Scrivener says in his introduction: \"The extraordinary impact of Christianity is seen in the fact that we don't notice it\". This is a book for both believers and sceptics-giving Christians confidence to be open about their faith and showing non-Christians the ways in which the message of Jesus makes sense of their most cherished beliefs.

You may not be able to have Adam as your personal prayer coach, but *Prayerfulness* is the next best thing: a conversation in which he encourages you to take next steps in prayer.  \u003cbr\u003e– Tim Chester, Lecturer in Spiritual Formation at Crosslands Training, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and author of *Enjoying Jesus*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many books about prayer, and if, like me, you’ve probably already read one or two, I hope you’ll read one more: *Prayerfulness*, by Peter Adam. Distilled from a lifetime of studying God’s word and walking in God’s ways, Adam gently diagnoses the causes of our prayerlessness and winsomely invites us into a more prayer-saturated life. With its bullet points, sample prayers, practical advice, and insight into our very human struggle to commune with God in a meaningful and consistent way, this book doesn’t simply tell us to pray; it opens us up and instils in us a greater desire to pray.  \u003cbr\u003e– Nancy Guthrie, Author of *Praying Through the Bible for Your Kids*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn absolute masterclass on true biblical prayer! Jesus wanted his people to learn how to pray, and Peter Adam leaves no spiritual stone unturned in carrying out our Lord’s desire. He reminds us that prayer is simply talking to God, and that God loves to talk to us about … anything! We can pray what Peter calls “big prayers”, about the world, the nations, God’s plan, and so on, and “little prayers”, about things like our failures, difficulties, trials, relationships, and joys. We are encouraged by sound theology and practical wisdom to pray in a biblical way.  \u003cbr\u003ePeter widens our perspective and shows us that prayer is not just asking God for our needs, though that’s important; it also includes praise, thanksgiving, trust, repentance, lament, dedication and worship. His section on prayers of lament is gold!  \u003cbr\u003eChristians, pastors, and churches in the West need this book, to bring us back to a true prayerfulness.  \u003cbr\u003e– Wally Behan, Former Rector of St John’s Latimer Square (now Latimer Church), Christchurch, New Zealand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is the fruit of a lifetime listening to God, responding to God, and sharing the gospel of God. The book is a treasure chest full of seasoned personal experience and pastoral wisdom, generously shared to “help people in gospel ministry to pray for themselves, to pray for their ministries, to pray with their fellow workers, to teach and train others to pray, to lead in prayer, and to promote a culture of prayerfulness in their church or ministry”.  \u003cbr\u003e– Johnny Juckes, Former President of Oak Hill College, London, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat a wonderfully helpful gift to God’s people is this new book from Peter Adam. *Prayerfulness* is encouraging, challenging and inspiring. It is gracious, scriptural, pastoral and practical—full of ideas to try, examples to use, dangers to avoid, wisdom to learn from, and grace to rejoice in.  \u003cbr\u003eIn it, Peter sends us again and again to God in his word and then calls us to turn those words into prayer. Sharing his life, doctrine and even his progress, Peter calls us to a richer, deeper, broader prayer life, both individually and corporately to the glory of God.  \u003cbr\u003eThe aim of the book is to help us pray. And that’s what it does. Praise God.  \u003cbr\u003e– Pete Sorrensen, Regional Team Leader at AFES Victoria, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Adam has blessed us with this rich banquet of a book on prayerfulness. It reflects the breadth of the biblical teaching on prayer, the depth of our dependence upon our triune God, and the height of the privilege we have in lifting our hearts to heaven in prayer. Not only does Adam allow us to eavesdrop, as it were, into his years of prayerfulness, but he supplies us with so many practical ideas and helps to enfold into our own personal prayer lives. This book is important for church leaders to read also, for with so many churches desperate to reach and revitalize Australia for Christ, how important it is that our corporate church life is increasingly dependent upon both public and private prayer to the Lord. The fervent prayers of the righteous avail much, and so I wholeheartedly commend this book.  \u003cbr\u003e– Mark Earngey, Head of Church History and Lecturer in Christian Thought at Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen senior ministry leaders take Peter Adam’s short course in prayer and emerge saying, “This has been the best and most revolutionary thing for my prayer life”, you sit up and notice. Much of that course is in this book. But be forewarned: this is not a casual, inspirational read. It is instead the full twelve-course meal in growing yourself as a biblically formed and theologically rich pray-er. It will inspire and challenge you to further glorify, worship and appeal to God more constantly as his beloved child and faithful worker. It will help you to help others grow as faithful prayer warriors. It will minister gospel grace to your soul. I can’t think of another book I’d rather use for small group studies next! A book to spend the year with.  \u003cbr\u003e– Wei-Han Kuan, Executive Director of CMS Victoria, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI admit I was surprised. Of course I was expecting to learn about prayer in this book, but I wasn’t ready for such rich reflection on matters of the soul and pastoral theology more generally. Drawing on Bible themes, topics like atonement and the church, and quotations from great people of prayer in history, Peter Adam gives us sage advice as well as a window into his own heart, providing written examples of praise, intercession and lament that he has found useful himself and commends to us too. Just when I thought I knew where Peter was taking us, I had to slow down and read again something that had been freshly worded or profoundly summarized. Why is common sense to help us in a close walk with the Lord so hard to find? Simple. Direct. Compassionate. Practical.  \u003cbr\u003e– Rev Canon Dr Rhys Bezzant, Dean of the Anglican Institute and Principal at Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am one of the legion of people who have been enormously helped by Peter Adam’s books on preaching and the ministry of the Word. *Speaking God’s Words: A practical theology of preaching* is widely and rightly known as a contemporary classic. Now, Dr Adam has written a unique volume on prayer that deserves returning to time and again. It is full of the fruit of Dr Adam’s sustained personal practice and reflection on that most intimate, precious, but perpetually neglected privilege of Christian discipleship: prayer to our Heavenly Father, through the Son in the power of the Spirit.  \u003cbr\u003e*Prayerfulness: Cultivating a Bible-enriched prayer life* is bursting with wise biblical insight, generous practical encouragement, and devotionally rich resources, including worked examples: ready-to-use prayers for many contexts and circumstances, and concise liturgies suitable for personal, pastoral or corporate ministry.  \u003cbr\u003eBest of all, Dr Adam articulates a vision for growing our own relationship with God in prayer that relies upon and responds to what God has said in his word. This is a book that lives up to its title. It’s a book to read slowly, and to re-read, so as to mine every page for the nuggets of gold immediately and directly applicable in daily routines of prayer.  \u003cbr\u003eSurely personal and corporate prayerlessness is one of the besetting sins of our age. Here is a bold, biblical and resolutely practical counteroffensive that is also theologically rich and pastorally sensitive. It will benefit the new believer, those long-serving in the battle, the local church and the pastor. Highly recommended.  \u003cbr\u003e– Archbishop Kanishka Raffel, Archbishop of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’ve read many books on prayer—not because I’m good at it, but because of the exact opposite: I’ve always needed help with prayer—and I can’t think of another book that’s as strengthening, inspiring, practical and biblical as this one. Peter Adam is a sage for the church today. He is deeply honest, sharing the struggles and breakthroughs in his own prayer life (sharing many of his own written prayers, alone worth the price of the book), in a way that provides us with real help and real hope. I’m confident this will bear fruit in more prayer—and better prayer—among God’s people today.  \u003cbr\u003e– Sam Allberry, Associate Pastor at Immanuel Nashville, TN, USA, and author of *One With My Lord*","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51574141026591,"sku":"9781922980366","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781922980366_3D.jpg?v=1769421198"},{"product_id":"the-manual-getting-masculinity-right-617972","title":"The Manual: Getting Masculinity Right","description":"Understanding what it means to be male has never been more confusing.
