Labourer in the Vineyard
By Greg Watts £5.99 ISBN 07459 52186
On Tuesday 19 April, the new pope was presented to the world. As the
crowds cheered, the questions were already forming. Who was Benedict
XVI? What were his priorities? Where would he lead the Church?
Many people felt they knew him already. For over 20 years he was the
Vatican's 'enforcer', the man responsible for maintaining Church
doctrine and correcting error. The words 'conservative' and 'hardline'
were used in most media despatches. Many welcomed his election as they
felt he would continue the legacy of John Paul II. Others feared that,
under his leadership, the Church would not move forward to engage with a
changing world. In this lively new book, Greg Watts presents an engaging
portrait of the pope, looking at his background, beliefs, priorities,
interests and style of leadership.

God Called a Girl
By Shannon Kubiak £8.99 ISBN 0764200291
God has called you to make a difference to the world. Are you willing to
answer the call?
Mary thought she was average, yet when God came to her with such a
monumental task, she agreed without hesitation. Never mind the fact that
being a pregnant, unwed teen in her day was punishable by death.
God is looking for world changers. He believes in you and is counting on
you to make important decisions and changes. God has big plans for your
life; see what he can do with just one person fully committed to him.

The Holy Spirit

Whether used as part of an Alpha Course or Holy Spirit Weekend, or just
used as a gift book to help a friend understand the importance of being
filled with the Holy Spirit, this little book is invaluable for all
Christians, and especially those involved in nurturing others.

Betsy
By Jean Hatton £8.99 ISBN 185424 7050
In 1816, Betsy walked alone into Newgate Gaol. The transformation she
achieved there made her an instant celebrity and propelled her onto the
stage of world history.
She transformed her generation's perception of offenders, and helped
bring into being a professional prison service. She campaigned against
the dreadful conditions on the prison ships sailing to Australia. And
she was a catalyst for the long struggle which eventually saw women
achieving fulfilment and recognition in the world beyond family and
home.
Yet the personal cost was enormous as she struggled to balance her sense
of calling with her domestic life and the attitudes of a patriarchal
society. She confided her innermost thoughts to private journals, and
these hand-written volumes have enabled Jean Hatton to breath vivid life
into her story.

Desperate Dependence
By Max Davis £6.99 ISBN 0781440645
Burned up? Chewed up? Washed up? If so, you're in a great position! You

for your life.

Dancing with the Divine
By Harold Fickett £7.99 ISBN 0781440599
Jesus taught by telling parables. Drawing from this, the Master's own
style, Harold Fickett uses contemporary stories to express the truths he
has come to know—the friendship of Christ; the presence of God with us,
even in our most strange and trying circumstances.
This book offers tremendous depth, but it is so clearly written that
minister and layperson alike can glean the wisdom it has to offer.
