Diary of a Dangerous Vision By Andy Hawthorne £6.99 ISBN 1842911848
This is the story of one man's conversion and the blossoming of an ever-growing group of Christians set to take Christ into the most demanding and tough urban areas. Their vision spawned a number of different related initiatives: the beginning and growth of the World Wide Message Tribe, Cameran Dante's conversion, and the EDEN project in Manchester.
Andy Hawthorne was born in Manchester and rebelled as a teenager before being brought to Christ by his brother, Simon. They started a fashion business and it was some of the youths whom they employed that inspired Andy to take the Message to schools, to launch the work of the World Wide Message Tribe and EDEN.
”A bunch of ordinary people with the fire of an extraordinary God burning in them,” was how the evangelist J John describes them.

Kissing Cousins? Christians and Muslims face to face By Bill A. Musk £10.99 ISBN 1 85424 675 5
Muslims and Christians share a belief that the one God creates and sustains the world. Man is endowed with moral responsibility. Yet so much also divides - our notions of worship and religion, our conceptions of God and Jesus (Muslims regard Jesus as a good Muslim), and our centuries of hostility. This book looks back to look forward, unravelling misconceptions in the hope of at least truer understanding.
