Augustine of Hippo (Bradley G. Green)
Arguably the most significant theologian in Church history, Augustine is nonetheless a figure of dispute in protestant circles, distrusted for his views on ecclesiology, amongst other subjects. Yet his love for the Lord and articulation of the doctrine of grace ensure that his writings remain relevant and inspiring to many Christians today. For anyone looking to begin to understand this theological giant, Bradley Green’s biography offers a clear insight into Augustine’s life and beliefs. In the words of the patristic himself, ‘Take and Read’.

C.H. Spurgeon (Peter A. Morden )
At Spurgeon's funeral in 1892 he was called the 'Prince of Preachers' but he is also known for much more than that... So who was the real man behind the headlines? Was he different in private to the way he appeared in public? What was his prayer-life like and his attitude to the Bible? Did he have weaknesses and how were these overcome? All these questions are explored in Peter Morden's fine book. To help you on your journey to discover more about Spurgeon, and ultimately the Lord Jesus, there are sections at the end of each chapter to challenge and encourage. This beautifully designed book accompanies the drama documentary of the same name and is fully illustrated with photos, pictures and stills from the film.

God's Biker (Sean Stillman)
Zac's Place is a church in Swansea. It is a small chaotic community of Jesus followers where the most fragile of life's walking wounded try to work out their faith, because they quite simply wouldn't fit anywhere else. It's also the spiritual home foor the local chapter of the motorcycle club God's Squad. Zac's Place was founded in 1998 and for nearly twenty years has been led by Sean Stillman – a "painfully shy, nervous preacher's kid" – whose front-line ministry, at Zac's Place and on the road, has cost him dearly, including physical beating. In Zac's Place, chaos and disorder sit alongside community and grace in an environment that sometimes resembles an AA meeting mixed with a casualty department. This is Sean's personal story of a transformed faith alongside the broken, the story of the church he started and the European-wide growth of an unlikely bunch of biker missionaries. The thread that will run through it is the 'greater righteousness' that Christ was looking for - what can happen when our concern for the perfect performance is stripped bare and replaced with poverty of spirit.

A Severe Mercy (Sheldon Vanauken )
A heart-rending love story described by its author as "the spiritual autobiography of a love rather than of the lovers" about the author's marriage and search for faith. Vanauken chronicles the birth of a powerful pagan love borne out of the relationship he shares with his wife, Davy, and describes the growth of their relationship and the dreams that they share. SECONDHAND. GOOD CONDITION. A beloved, profoundly moving account of the author's marriage, the couple's search for faith and friendship with C. S. Lewis, and a spiritual strength that sustained Vanauken after his wife's untimely death. Replete with 18 letters from C.S. Lewis, A Severe Mercy addresses some of the universal questions that surround faith--the existence of God and the reasons behind tragedy. Review "[A] deep, uncompromising story about human and divine love."--Los Angeles Times "No brief review can do justice to the human depth of this book. It invites us to explore a beautiful dollhouse of love and to witness the destruction of a relation too exquisite to last."--Washington Post "A towering and noble work in its own right, wrought by a real craftsman . .." --New Oxford Review "A gem of a book . . . delivers an extraordinary impact on the reader." --Eternity "Here is a book for anyone who has truly loved another person." --Christianity Today
