The Spirituality of the CrossBy Gene Edward Veith
After a journey of years through a variety of religious experiences and frustrations with mysticism and eastern religion, liberal theology and social justice programs, and several branches of Christianity, Dr. Gene Veith found answers in Christianity and specifically with the "first evangelicals [Lutherans]." For Veith, Christianity is not about a general vague force called God but about "God in the flesh and God on the cross" and why this matters in everyday life. Topics include: the Word of God, justification by faith, means of grace, worship , theology of the cross, vocation and teh two kingdoms and the church. Available from Amazon.com or Australian Christian Resources.

Grace Upon Grace
By Dr John Kleinig
The longing for spiritual fulfillment, inevitably paired with spiritual frustration, is common among Chrsitians. Do we read and study the Bible enough? Do we worship often and in the right way? Do we pray enough, in the correct way, and for the right things? How do we become truly spiritual? And the answers from numerous self-help spirituality books only lead to confusion and the fear of missing key steps on the road to becoming spiritual. In response, John W. Kleinig clarifies that there is no process for becoming spiritual. Instead, God graciously gives to us every spiritual gift that we need, beginning with the very gift of faith in Christ, our Saviour. Available from Australian Christian Resources and Amazon.com

What's So Amazing About Grace?By Philip Yancey
In What's So Amazing About Grace? award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness that it does of mercy? In his most personal and provocative book ever, Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace's life-chaning power. Available from Amazon.com or The Word Bookstore.

Power SurgeBy Mike Foss
Drawing on his experience at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Pastor Foss makes the case for transforming congregations from a membership model to a discipleship model of church affilication. The book begins with a careful analysis of recent patterns in church membership and demographics that argue for thsi paradigm shift. It proposes a grace-centred, rather than legalistic, model of discipleship and builds a bridge through transferable principles between congregational mission-mindedness and the individual Christian's life of faith. Available at Australian Church Resources and Amazon.com.
