Masters or Slaves?? (Jeremy Peckham)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) pervades much of our lives. We use facial recognition to open our phones, and the state uses it to track us – so what’s the problem? Decisions are made using machine learning on our private and personal data, from shopping habits to medical history –have we lost control? We order our digital world in conversation with chatbots – how convenient, but is it changing our relationships with people? The prospect of a self-driving vehicle lies just around the corner – should we care that it might run over a child to save the passenger’s life? Jeremy Peckham shows us how we have become seduced by progress, embracing AI applications for their convenience, yet unwittingly diminishing our ability to be God’s image-bearers and losing moral responsibility. Rooted in the biblical truth that humanity is created in God’s image, Masters or Slaves? explores six ways in which AI has an impact today. We are challenged where, and how, to set boundaries, both privately and as a society, in order not to fall into addiction, slavery and idolatry

Memorable Loss: (Karen Martin )
Dementia is experienced in different forms, in different ways and is coped with differently by different people, but with nearly 10 million new cases every year, it is something many people face. It’s tough on those with the disease, but it is also incredibly hard for the loved ones around them. Karen Martin’s story about her friend Kathleen, however, is overwhelmingly one of love and persistence. Despite their nearly half–century age difference, their commonality drew them to each other, and their genuine friendship uplifted them both. Charting the story from pre–diagnosis to Kathleen’s eventual passing, this moving tale highlights the difficulties and joys of facing dementia, through the lens of friendship.

Reviews

... I couldn't help thinking as I read that what Karen and Kathleen experienced was a gift from God to them both but also to all who can eavesdrop through Karen's account. ... a profound meditation on memory and personhood, human identity and Christian discipleship. I'm delighted to see that this book has finally made it into print.

--Mark Meynell (European Associate Director, Langham Preaching, London)

Are we more than our memories? Karen Martin shares her journey to focus on a person, not a disease; a loved one living with memory loss, not a dementia victim; and a friend's present and future, not just her fading memories. This book will be a fount of wisdom for anyone who cares for a friend with dementia.

--Dave Deuel (Senior Research Fellow, the International Disability Center; Catalyst for Disability Concerns, the Lausanne Movement; co-author, 'Disability in Mission: The Church's Hidden Treasure')

This book is poignant, insightful and hopeful. It will equip and edify in equal measure.

--Sam Allberry (Immanuel Church Nashville; author, 'What God Has To Say About Our Bodies')

Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis)
One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, ‘Mere Christianity’ has sold millions of copies worldwide. The book brings together C.S. Lewis’s legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to ‘explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times’. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations, ‘Mere Christianity’ provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

Ministering to Addicts (Trudy Makepeace)
Ministering to Addicts has been written to help inform ministers, churches and other Christian organisations who seek to open their doors and hearts to those who find themselves struggling with or recovering from addiction. This booklet is by no means exhaustive but as a former addict of 18 years, Trudy Makepeace shares personal insights from her own journey, as one who has experienced healing and freedom. Trudy brings this together with what she has learned and encountered as a support worker and then manager of a Christian rehabilitation centre in South Wales, and recently as an outreach worker and evangelist. Whilst there is not one prescriptive pathway to see people step into and maintain freedom from addiction, Trudy believes the content of Ministering to Addicts is vital to the individual’s ongoing freedom and recovery. Her hope is to bring insight and confidence as you support others on this journey.
