    Dallas Willard: The Spirit of the Disciplines - Reissue : Understanding How God Changes Lives
    An absolute classic. Argues persuasively and pastorally for the necessity of a disciplined inward life on the road to spritual wholeness. This book changed my life.

  • Tim Winton: Cloudstreet

    Tim Winton: Cloudstreet
    Uniquely Australian. Funny, magical, heart-wrenching and deeply insightful - Cloudstreet takes the reader over a roller-coaster of emotions as it recounts the story of one family and its struggles to overcome.

  • Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz

    Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz
    Full of whimsical prose, Blue Like Jazz reads just like a book should when its pages have been formed in coffee-shop coversations. Miller shares vignettes, conversations, inward musings from a life searching after God.

  • Mike Yaconelli: Messy Spirituality : Christianity for the Rest of Us

    Mike Yaconelli: Messy Spirituality : Christianity for the Rest of Us
    If you ever thought that the spiritual life was only for those with super-human levels of discipline, patience and self-control, then read this book. As the title suggests, real spirituality is lived out in the messy ordinariness of our everyday lives. Life-giving in every way.

  • Dr. Leonard Sweet: SoulTsunami

    Dr. Leonard Sweet: SoulTsunami
    A wonderful, exhilarting journey into the cultural sea that the church finds itself in the 21C. Sweet's take on worship in a post-modern setting is worth the book alone. Filled with quotable quotes, wonderful tangents and stimulating observations - SoulTsumami lingers in the mind long after it is read.

Daniel One

Daniel found himself resident in a world that lived as if God did not exist.  It was a world of many gods but one that did not acknowledge the one true God.  How was he to live?  How are we to live 2500 years later in a world that is similar in so many ways?  Listen in...Download daniel_one.mp3
