Hiding Place

Hiding Place

She risked everything for the sake of others...

A long awaited and deserved new edition of this enduring and moving classic.

As the Nazi madness swept across Europe, a quiet watchmaker's family in Holland risked everything for the sake of others, and for the love of Christ. Despite the danger and threat of discovery, the ten Boom family courageously offered shelter to persecuted Jews during the Nazi occupation of Holland. Then a trap brought about the family's arrest. Could God's love shine through, even in Ravensbruck?

An inspiring story and a timeless classic, Corrie ten Boom recounts how her family hid Jewish families from the Nazis during the second World War before they were trapped and arrested by the authorities. Could God be in this situation?

This new edition highlights the value of this book in showing how the love of God shines into even the darkest places.

Suffering and evil affect us all, both at a general level, as we look at a world filled with injustice, natural disasters and poverty, and at a personal level, as we experience grief, pain and unfairness. And how we think about and process the reality of pain is at the heart of why many people reject God.

Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing is no stranger to pain and gives a heartfelt yet academically rigorous examination of how different belief systems deal with the problem of pain. She explains the unique answer that is found in Christ and how he can give us hope in the reality of suffering.

Can Science Explain Everything?

Can Science Explain Everything?

Can science explain everything?

Many people think so. Science, and the technologies it has spawned, has delivered so much to the world: clean water; more food; better healthcare; longer life. And we live in a time of rapid scientific progress that holds enormous promise for many of the problems we face as humankind. So much so, in fact, that many see no need or use for religion and belief systems that offer us answers to the mysteries of our universe. Science has explained it, they assume. Religion is redundant.

Oxford Maths Professor and Christian believer Prof. John Lennox offers a fresh way of thinking about science and Christianity that dispels the common misconceptions about both. He reveals that not only are they not opposed, but they can and must mix to give us a fuller understanding of the universe and the meaning of our existence.

The God Story

The God Story

Encountering Unfailing Love in the Unfolding Narrative of Scripture

The God Story is a compelling and creative retelling of the biblical story. Alain Emerson and Adam Cox - two leaders of the 24-7 Prayer movement - help you find personal meaning and purpose in light of God's unfailing love and awe-inspiring plans for humanity as laid out in Scripture.

Why is it that every time we hear the phrase, 'once upon a time' we are captivated, curious to know what these inviting words will give life to? It seems something fundamental to our existence is exercised when we are drawn into a story. As human beings we are meaning-making creatures, and yet so often we struggle to make sense of the world and our place in it.

Each one of our lives is a unique and unrepeatable creation. Each one of our stories is precious and worthy of being told, shared and experienced. Yet none of our stories make sense in isolation, disconnected from a wider plot. Our stories only truly find meaning when they are linked to the very source of our lives and the unfolding drama into which we were born.

The God Story is a compelling and creative retelling of the biblical story from 24-7 Prayer, which will help you find personal meaning and purpose in light of God's overarching and awe-inspiring plans for humanity as laid out in Scripture. It is the story we're all waiting to hear.

It is time to be enchanted afresh by the God Story and, in doing so, discover beloved identity and be inspired to make a difference in today's world.

There's a Lion in My Nativity!

There's a Lion in My Nativity!

This rhyming book with warm, quirky illustrations makes a beautiful Christmas gift for children who are 4-7 years old.

In this story of a Christmas nativity play, Mary thinks she is the star of the show. However, as the play goes on, she finds that every scene has been stolen by an unlikely character or object, such as a tent, a phone and a lion!

With the help of the narrator, Mary realises that each one actually teaches us a profound truth about Jesus. The tent teaches us that Jesus came to live among us humbly; the phone teaches us that Jesus came to connect us to God; and the lion shows us that Jesus is the king of the universe!

Along with Mary, readers will see that Jesus is the true star of the show and that it is wonderful to know him.
